I have the issue where if I'm stuck on a problem and try to sleep on it, I wake up as tired as if I had stayed up working. My brain seems to never completely shutdown and rest. Have you ever experienced that? Any suggestions?

I guess I don't try to "sleep on it". I just tell myself I'll tackle it another time and go to bed. I have amazing sleep hygiene and I tend to use one dream from a set of dreams to fall asleep. Somehow I still wake up and have the solution the next day even though it was never my intent.

The whole redesign has been painful. At first I liked it, but some of the things you've mentioned here as well as the lagginess of the site have really soured me on Reddit.

When they announced the changes a while back I did a personal test and switched to using the Twitter website and their app on the iPhone. Outside of not showing ads, I think I know why they want to do away with 3rd party clients. 3rd party clients have them beat by a mile when it comes to ease of use. I don't think they can, nor want to compete with that. They'd rather show me what they think I want to see, rather than what I actually want to see. I just can't help feeling like my days on Twitter are numbered, which is sad having been on there for ten years now. I'm just not their target anymore.

"They'd rather show me what they think I want to see, rather than what I actually want to see."

I think it's actually that they'd rather show you what they want you to see, rather than what you actually want to see. This includes promoted content.

I'd agree in part. Outside of promoted content, they also try to force "things I might have missed" on me. I never want to see this. I browse in chronological order and will see it without their "help".

I'd be happy with a feed that is in chronological order, even with ads & promoted tweets, so log as it does not include:

- "what I missed"

- follow recommendations

- the likes of who I follow - show me their retweets, not their likes

> 3rd party clients have them beat by a mile when it comes to ease of use.

They solved this problem when they bought Tweetie, the most popular 3rd party client at the time when they didn't have a 1st party one. They then removed and replaced it with the current one.

The Chrome trick may work for some sites but not others, most notably CNN.

Doesn't this also mean that cable companies lost 555,000 subscribers last month? The only way for me to get ESPN is with a basic cable subscription.

Not anymore -- most cable providers now offer a base tier without sports channels that are targeted at cord-cutters.

I have ESPN through SlingTV.

At least Microsoft will be able to tout the inability to delete a LinkedIn profile as a feature and not a bug.

Then they'll only be on the left side!

You can turn it round so the buttons are on the opposite edge.

Never thought I'd see a post involving Zao on HN. That's sad to hear that Solid State did them wrong, regardless of the jerkiness of (I'm assuming you're referring to) Jesse Smith.

That was quite the big city apology.
