noprocrast works very well. As someone how has a HN 'problem' I would not be able to come here if it was not for noprocrast.

noprocrast must have been a technical feat. It will enforce the limit even if you are logged out and on an entire different network and switch browsers. I have not investigated how it works (I do not want to know how to avoid it) but it works better than cookies would.

If curious programmers end up spending several hours trying to beat noprocrast, wouldn't that, like, defeat the purpose of noprocrast? ;)

Unfortunately all too easy to beat in Chrome: ⌘-Shift-N + news.ycombinator.com. Relying on StayFocusd instead.

But you wouldn't be able to vote/comment, which is not fun (sometimes you might be bursting with a desire to contradict someone!).
