I appreciate the compliment and the upvote, but what kind of electronically enhanced moratorium keeps your RSS subscription?
Both the leechblock plugin and adding '127.0.0.1 lesswrong.com' to '/etc/hosts' or 'C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts' are effective.
The key is that reader.google.com does not make any reliance on the lesswrong.com domain visible to my computer.
For obvious reasons it is the full engagement and commenting that can become a distraction from more directly beneficial goals at times, for similar reasons that tv-tropes so addictive. I take breaks for up to three months at a time but reading the actual posts here still qualifies as time well spent and occasionally justifies logging on.
Now, to return my procastinating energies to hacking out an improved ruby based bash replacement. rush just doesn't have the tab-completion I need to give myself the illusion of smooth productivity.
If you were to include a history of your commands across sessions, and maybe an option to dump all the commands from the current session into a .rb file, I would love you forever.
There are almost certainly more productive things you could procrastinate with.
I'm not sure there are. The ruby shell seems to be right at the threshold at which I label things 'procrastination' rather than 'worthy endeavor'.
By the way, the tab completion I have happening is nice. ;)
I'm sure :)

You're sure you don't want to rot-13 that?
(EDIT: Actually, I already know ways to break out of a electronically enforced moratorium if I really need to, but still.)
One of the problems with this kind of denial is that typically our imaginations---already evidently primed to assume the worst---are capable of coming up with something far worse than reality itself. This seems to be an example of that.
Yes. See above and below. There isn't anything that needs to be rot13'd here. Mind you if there was something that needed redaction then I would question your decision to apply thread necromancy to it. A comment from 2010 is a whole lot more obscure than a comment with a child comment singing lalas.
The grandparent provides instructions on how to impose a moratorium of the kind discussed in its parent. It doesn't describe how to break out of electronically enforced moratoriums. In fact the instructions for creating the limitation cannot even be (mis)used to reverse engineer a way out of a correctly applied 'leechblock' moratorium. (That would require actual research and effort.)
And somehow still believed you would be able to respond intelligently to the comment that you didn't read. Oops.
Oops indeed. (Grandparent retracted.)
