Andrew, exploringelasticsearch is cool, thanks for the time & effort. Just wanted to let you know that the github audio interview link is broken (or not available publicly) since few weeks: https://soundcloud.com/andrewvc-1/github-interview-edited

I would really appreciate if you could put it back, it's really a good listen.

Ack, soundcloud took it down when I uploaded another interview and went past their free plan. Just upgraded, it should now be available.

I wonder if you've posted the derogatory statement if you were the author of F.lux. Have respect for free software, have respect for the time & effort of the coder, have respect for the people who care to share and if you can't "show" respect, at-least do not show disrespect. FYI, I (and many others)discover tons of cool work on HN everyday because they're reposted by someone who cared to share. No hard feelings. Peace.

I was using those animations as a refresher just this past week. Really excellent work to whoever put that together.

because of the fact that we discovered the news that news is bad on hacker news, I think (hacker) news is actually cool. This should make another news. Too much news for the day or may be its the lambdas on my screen: lambda f: (lambda x: x(x))(lambda y: f(lambda v: y(y)(v)))

Some thoughts:

Lack of motivation, i.e. Absence of "burning need" to learn the stuff at hand. Also, inability to visualize the end-result/reward.

Trying to look at the task as whole than in smaller parts: i.e. looking at a 720 pages, mostly text-only O'reilly programming book.

Multitasking: Checking news feeds, twitter and trying to learn/code/read simultaneously.

Distractions: people around, location, short attention span.

Not able to get into the zone/flow: This usually happens when,

goals are not clear

feedback is not immediate

lack of balance between opportunity and capacity

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_(psychology)

Appropriate reward and feedback system is really important in learning.As per some studies, it relates to certain neurotransmitters in the brain i.e. dopamine.
