<p>Sometimes I procrastinate. I know something about when, I know something about how to avoid it, I know something about how to abort it. None of these tell me what procrastination really is. In a sense, procrastination is (almost) a black box to me, that I can observe from outside but whose implementation is hidden from view.</p> <p>Sometimes it feels as if procrastination is the brain's response when I should enter the zone, and... and something. I can't tell what the other condition is. Or what the other conditions are, perhaps.</p> <p>I know some things that correlate with it (e.g. reentering the zone after a couple of interruptions is harder than the first time in the morning), but that's just correlation. I'm wondering what the brain is doing, not just rules of thumb about what makes its job easier or harder.</p> <p>I adore <em>being in</em> the zone, but <em>entering</em> the zone can be strangely difficult and procrastination seems to be connected to that transition and its difficulties... Why? Does this sound familiar to you? Do any of you have insight into this?</p>

<p>I would like to learn a new language during quarantine! I'm looking for something that will be a little different from just a new C-like imperative language.</p> <p>I've spent the last 4 years of my career writing Go. Languages I have messed around in in the past: Haskell, Rust, Java, Python.</p> <p>Requirements:</p> <ul> <li>Must be statically typed, or at least have a static analyzer (e.g. <a href="https://sorbet.org/" rel="ugc">Sorbet</a>).</li> <li>Some available documentation must be able to take a beginner through (e.g. <a href="http://learnyouahaskell.com/" rel="ugc">Learn You a Haskell</a>, <a href="https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/" rel="ugc">The Rust Book</a>).</li> <li>Must be able to run on Linux.</li> </ul> <p>I <em>really</em> wanted to get into <a href="http://unisonweb.org" rel="ugc">Unison</a> but that's still pre-alpha and very far from being usable for writing actual programs.</p>

The Headphone 1 Pro flagship headphones keep Nothing’s aesthetic while adding some surprises. | Photo: John Higgins / The Verge Nothing has been on a bit of an audio tear this year, releasing the solid Headphone A and the surprisingly good Ear 3A earbuds. The Headphone A released at $199, while the earbuds are under $100, leaving room for something fancier. That something is the Nothing Headphone 1 Pro, the company's new $399 flagship over-ears that surprised me with everything they offer. They include what you'd expect from a pair of flagship headphones, such as active noise cancellation (ANC), multiple sound profiles, and easy-to-use controls. They also have a few things you might not: a triple-driver design, Auracast, and something I've never seen before: a Flat E … Read the full story at The Verge.
