For instance what they use for stuff like http://bit.ly/1Jpb9zO Or I don't know how to describe it, because right now I can't find an example, but more "comic" like maybe. I know that Venka Subramanian once had such a nice article about Akka with beautiful diagrams, but can't find it either :(

567 by vchernobyl | 564 comments on Hacker News.
What technologies have you invested time in learning that you are going to keep using/experimenting/learning about in the next year? I'm a professional Android engineer, and as for me: I learned Kotlin and use it at work every day, and so far I like it a lot. I also learned a little bit of iOS development with Swift. I also experimented with Flutter developing non-trivial "Hello world" apps, and I feel that it reduces a lot of friction that a lot of native mobile developers encounter. What's your favorite tech in 2018?

Ask HN: What are your “brain hacks” that help you manage every day situations?
590 by simonswords82 | 204 comments on Hacker News.
I'm incredibly fortunate to have a chairman on our board who brings so much clarity of thought to the business. He's unemotional yet thoughtful. If he doesn't have an immediate answer for something, he instinctively understands how to search for the answer. He has a natural sense of the real priority of work and discussions. So I asked him for some of his favourite brain hacks...simple tricks he uses when he has a mental challenge to overcome. A couple of his insights were very useful to me, so I thought I'd share them here and ask HN for their personal brain hacks in response. Artificial deadlines He has a clever technique for bringing tough choices to a conclusion and avoiding procrastination. This is especially useful for life changing decisions such as moving country or taking that new job. To put an end to the decision making process he sets a deadline for the decision to be made. Say 6pm on Monday. At five minutes to 6 he usually doesn't know the answer but in those 5 minutes something clicks, and by 6pm the answer is always there. 10/10/10 rule This is something I've read before but he applies this. The 10/10/10 is the framing of the outcome of a decision across three timeframes: How will he feel about the outcome 10 minutes from now? How about 10 months from now? How about 10 years from now? The answers to these questions provide a different perspective and usually help him to find the correct answer without being misguided by circumstances at the time of making the decision. This will all be over by 6pm If there's an important meeting with stakeholders, a scary appointment with the doctor or a tough chat with an employee - he simply keeps in mind the fact that by "X time", the thing will have passed and won't matter anymore. If it doesn't matter after X time, chances are it probably doesn't matter now. Edit: Formatting.
