Why is that an Italian tomato?
Also refers to a time management method, although only as a marketing vehicle to sell tomato-shaped timers
Pretty sure the tomato timers existed before the time management method, but now I'm questioning myself.
yes the tomato-shaped egg timers existed first. but the pomodoro technique is quite helpful.
bonus points if it’s an older laptop with a short battery life
Schrodinger's Brat is a great username.
It works, plus there's just enough time to procrastinate anyways.
mfw I got an arm/risc-v laptop: 🤦👑 suffering from success
I'll believe that runtime when I see it.
I got some 20 hours out of my M1 Air when I tested it after the first full charge. Then I decided to charge it. Calculated at various points that it would last roughly 25 hours and it sure seemed like it was going to.
Much of this time I had Xcode running and videos playing, etc.
Subsequent charges never lasted this long because I installed more bloat, but still always over 10 hours even when I had a bunch of shit running.
This wasn't about arm in a high end laptop though, this is about underpowered cores in an soc probably meant for sbc applications barely managing out of order execution shoved into a laptop form factor.
I'm not against riscv on principle, in fact I quite like it. But let's not pretend it's performance is there yet for laptop-class devices.
That's what I did when I went to a coffee shop to work. The pressure was overwhelming.
What's Pomodoro?
It's a productivity technique where you set a timer for some amount of time and work until that timer ends, then you take a break and repeat
It means tomato in Italian, no idea what the meme means
It’s a time management method created by Francesco Cirillo. Basically it’s picking a task, doing it for 25 minutes, then taking a 5 minute break. It started when he was a university student struggling to get through reading for his sociology class and started using a timer just trying to hold focus for two minutes at the start. The kitchen timer he used was shaped like a tomato, or pomodoro in Italian as you stated.
As the other person says it a productivity technique where you might set a timer constraint of 55 / 5. Meaning work for 55 mins and then take a 5 minute break. Rinse and repeat.
