I, sharing the same feeling, have taken more drastic step. Instead of changing a specialisation within IT I have recently graduated in Psychology.


Interesting! Would you mind sharing more about your story?


No, I don't mind. Psychology was always on my radar and few years back I have decided to pursue Masters in that field. This opens lots of new possibilities: practice (after additional studies), ability to conduct tests and evaluate people based on results (you need to be a Psychologist in order to use some of the tools), you can apply knowledge into other fields (e.g. HR / team management / event IT), eventually this kind of studies gives a completely new perspective. In my opinion, it was worth the time and effort.


I think psychology and prostitution will probably be the final careers. Most people care about a human being in the loop for both sex and counseling.


Well, that's one of the reasons I decided to go with psychology. Counselling suits me more.


No! Just no! :)


Lol, I use mouse with left hand so wasd would be silly for me. and semicolon is an extra perk, much better than mapping left side capslock.


Kahneman was awarded Nobel prize in economic sciences even though his work was, in fact, all about psychology.


Note that: There are no economic science Nobel prize.

Only one similar named price in the name and memory of Alfred Nobel, which some how, is allowed to be part of the Nobel prize celebration.

I guess my opinion is in minority, but i don't like that another prize hijacks the Nobel prize.


I feel like I sympathise with books related section: https://www.owsiak.org/reading-books-you-are-doing-it-wrong/


Nice!


I will definitely try this one and compare with my daily stuff

this comment made me go back to the project page. i haven't even noticed that fact while reading it for the first time. strange.


It looks like there is this secret society working hard on making people suffer in a hotel rooms after long trips. Blue TV indicators, white and blue air condition panels, impossible to cover LEDs that are attached to fire detectors.

All of that to make sure the room stays as bright as possible the whole night. I am always impressed with the efficiency of these little, bright, things. In terms of a brightness per cubic meter efficiency.


I've started travelling with a roll of black tape because the problem you describe is so bad


First thing I do is unplug the tv. Been woken too many times by TVs turning themselves on during the night.


For me it's the alarm clocks or in-room tablets. So much annoying ambient lights in hotels. It's gotten crazy.


I just travel with a mulberry silk eye mask. Seems to do the trick.


Since you went into such specifics (could have just sad eye mask/sleeping mask), why the specific mention of mulberry silk?


I would imagine because if they just said "eye mask", someone might imagine negative aspects that don't apply to a more luxurious/premium material like mulberry silk.


I personally find it easier to sleep when my pillow is cool. Silk feels cool to touch. I'd image that it would help. Not sure if it being mulberry makes any difference.


I find non-mulberry-silk ones quite bothersome texture wise, as opposed to pleasant.


What about a silk eye mask? I sleep with them at home even


It seems like it should be a no-brainer that if the light can cast shadows, it's too bright to install in a bedroom. I've started traveling with a roll of electrical tape.


A dollop of toothpaste will usually solve the problem if you've ever forgotten the tape.


Click bait :) What I was really expecting was a picture of purple llama ;)


I have found Sublime Text and Sublime Merge to server me well with sort of `GTD` like approach (not orthodox one though). Finding in files + `regexp` works perfectly fine for most of my notes related to projects. Sublime Merge serves as a history keeper.
