| about: | On my 6mo anniversary of discovering HN (seriously, to the rounded whole day -- by total happenstance), I looked at my profile for the first time and found a setting of which I was previously unaware: 'noprocrast'. The salience of this feature for me is a telling enough descriptor... FYI: (from https://hackernews.hn/newsfaq.html)
"In my profile, what is noprocrast? It's a way to help you prevent yourself from spending too much time on HN. If you turn it on you'll only be allowed to visit the site for maxvisit minutes at a time, with gaps of minaway minutes in between. The defaults are 20 and 180, which would let you view the site for 20 minutes at a time, and then not allow you back in for 3 hours. You can override noprocrast if you want, in which case your visit clock starts over at zero." |
