> In sum: DP simply has too high a bar to clear. Want to do DP? Well, has there been a few decades of pedagogical development in your field so that you can be coached like with chess or math or tennis? NO? Ok, you're tough out of luck. No DP for you!

I actually read "The Cambridge Handbook of Expertise and Expert Performance" and if i recall correctly it's not that simple, , Expert practitioners can develop themselves better methods (it is argued the reason world records keep getting broken is not because our genes become better but because of better training methods ) , the main thing about deliberate practice is detecting points you can improve (e.g. failing to answer a coding question in a job interview), developing a method to improve the sub skill (trying at home with less stress and more time, going over a piece of knowledge you forgot, e.g. how BFS works), going over "socially accepted good enough" to "the best you can be" (e.g. you might fail some interviews and think maybe the interviewers don't like you, or you could double check your answer and find better solutions which might help if you will interview to more demanding companies such as facebook or google).

There is another interesting book called "the psychology of problem solving" (see http://www.al-edu.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Davidson-St...) where Ericsson argues iirc that deliberate practice is a form of problem solving.


Is the alpha stable? can i opted in and out easily like the reddit beta?

tildes.net and some firefox extention (for reddit) implements it this way.

It can still be problematic, if i go to a thread with 100 comments and read it, come back and there are another 100 comments i might not want to read them all in one sit (e.g. because it is late at night).

It's interesting that all these "modern" platforms still don't have some of the usability benefits of email (while having their own benefits ofcourse) , I also wonder if this is part of the reason the linux kernal still uses email for communication.


> Is the alpha stable?

I think so.

> can i opted in and out easily like the reddit beta?

I'm not sure. Why don't you email the mods and ask them?


I would check out linux mint and vue.js, they seem like pretty good role models.


I don't want to hide URL's i want to hide comments.

if there is a huge thread with lots of comments that you are really interested in, you read 50 comments and then come back and there is another 20 new comments, how do you easily find these comments?


How much would you pay for this?


IDK, why do you ask? probably not enough to fund someone to work on this.


I don't know about the next reddit, but lemmy and tildes.net seem like a nice alternative.
