To someone who is not well versed with these technologies, how do these solve this issue ? I would like to understand these technologies better


Are you from my nightmares ?


Thank you for your suggestions.

I have not read most of these. I am adding to my wishlist and will probably start with Austin Kleon's books, they seem very interesting


Paywall :(

Any way to read this without having to subscribe or register ?


The Read Across The Aisle Chrome extension, which is free and does not use your private data in any way. (Source: I am the creator, and I care about privacy.)

We have an official partnership with the WSJ, unlike most/all of these other avenues for free access.

Put outline.com in front of the URL to bypass the paywall.


Why was this downvoted? It works!


Completely off topic, sorry.

How does having these new TLDs affect SEO ?


To be honest: I have no idea. I'm not even sure if I keep this URL.


Before I started using mercurial and git I tried fossil for a few days. It was really good. I think the only reason my company decided to go with mercurial and git was the lack of a service like bitbucket or github for fossil.

I am really excited to see the new avatar of fossil.


That's the beauty of fossil... you hardly need one! Most aspects (wiki, issues) those services offer can be in the local repo, always accessible.


I use GitHub to have a publicly accessible, discoverable, and searchable presence for the repo.

Perhaps we should build something like gnu social (or diaspora, but not as bad) for code projects, or build on existing distributed social networks.


This is somewhat in the works.

There is an issue on GitLab to enable federated pull requests and I believe Gogs/Gitea community is working on getting some sort of standard figured out if I'm not mistaken.



Maybe a better option is to convince people like DigitalOcean to provide a prebuilt image.

But I’m not sure I agree with the conclusion here You do need the network effect if you want git gone. GitHub is just easy enough to cross reference bugs in other repositories your project depends on.


There's chiselapp.com, but one of fossil's strengths is you don't need that kind of service. Just drop the fossil binary anywhere convenient and off you go.


There is Chisel but it's just a hosting service for Fossil. You don't get any kind of added value other than not having to host it yourself.


How should a startup or a company in this situation handle it properly ? Should they come out clean to their users ?


This is a great summary. I have always liked the idea of GTD, it is just that it can be a bit overwhelming at times :(

Is there a GTD lite or something for beginners ?

Capture everything in your head. Who you need to contact and about what, upcoming trips, list the projects you're working on.

Clarify what all this means. Why am I trying to juggle this information in my head when I can put it into a proper notes app or notebook (it's information, record it, reference it later). If it's a project, add more detail (actions). If it's action, you're good.

Organize it. Put things with deadlines into your calendar. Determine the context of actions (I have to do this on the way home, I have to do this in the lab at facility X on my next trip there). Put things into lists [0] that make sense. Make a shopping list. Have an agenda for your meeting with Bob. Have a plan for your next weekly sprint.

Review everything. We canceled this project, or we shipped that one. Actions that are left open are put on hold or discarded. I missed a deadline, or I finished this but forgot to mark it finished and so those are removed. This is actually dependent on this other thing that I haven't written down yet, so I write it down.

Engage. This is the purpose, this is your life (personal and professional). This is you getting things done and where most of your time should be spent.

[0] Lists is a broad concept. My grocery list is a list, I should fill it out and put it in my car or have it in my pocket notebook so it's accessible when I'm near the grocery store. My projects' plans are a list, but it may be in a MS Project file or an emacs org file, or even both. I have "Fix PR-123" in the main project calendar. But once I get to it, it's in emacs for me and looks more like "figure out this module and that module; update them; update documentation and tests; get it peer reviewed".


Thank you so much for the link. Really appreciate it.


I started with just GT. But getting things turned out to be severely addictive. Now I can't se how to be done with it.


I usually point people at Zen to Done, it takes an incremental approach to setting up the system instead of throwing the whole thing at you.

Thank you. Seems like a nice approach.


Naval has such clarity of thoughts. How does one achieve this ? Is this something that can be learnt ?


Read the works of clear thinkers (subject is not so important.)

Two that leap to mind: Wendell Berry and Norbert Wiener


Also, having to refine and articulate your thoughts


Thank you


Lots of LSD


Clarity of thought isn't something I'd associate with lots of LSD. Typically I find chronic users struggle to articulate their thoughts and appear 'spacy'.


Philosophy and meditation.


(imo) Putting things into perspective (e.g. "pale blue dot" )


experiences and watchfully learning from them.


If you don't mind sharing, what software did/do you sell ?
