Yes, after a while your body gets addicted to caffeine and adjusts to the amount you are ingesting, so you need to increase how much you're taking in order to keep feeling the high you expect from coffee.

If you suddenly stopped assuming caffeine, you'll start suffering from withdrawal symptoms such as headaches and drowsiness; this is because your brain adenosine receptors are accustomed to a certain amount of caffeine (which is itself an adenosine antagonist). Your brain receptors recalibrate themselves after a while if you stop drinking coffee/tea, or if reduce your intake of caffeine to a smaller amount.
Since the overall tone here is so negative, I would like to point out that
a) you can sell source code
and
b) some people do work on their amazing hobby projects without outside feedback and it still works out OK
and
c) helping people with their coding can be very rewarding personally

But where people here are correct is that in most cases, source code by itself will fetch a lower price than the customer contacts, email marketing lists, pre-qualified leads, ad designs, etc.

That said, we did sell source code at a good price a few times, but that only worked because:

1. The company buying it had overpromised to their customers and were contractually bound to deliver, so purchasing my whacky half-finished source code was cheaper for them than paying the penalty for not delivering on time. As part of the deal, we were also hired for a month to integrate their CI into the app and ship it. After they dodged legal responsibility this way, I believe they never used the source code again, but instead hired a team to rewrite everything from scratch. So they paid us purely for the time savings.

2. The software being sold had been featured on national TV together with a major Hollywood movie studio praising it. This started out as helping people for free and then we built without any feedback what we thought the market needed. But it was a ridiculously unbelievable stroke of lucky events that led to us sending a feature-limited version to studios and them using it and promoting it among themselves.

3. The source code being sold was rumored to contain an algorithm doing content-based image retrieval (think Google Images search) more efficiently than the largest publicly available search engines.

4. The source code was sold at a big loss. It would have cost 5x the price to hire a team to build it again.

It doesn't sound like you're famous yet or like you invented the next big algorithm, and you probably don't want to get paid scraps either, so your best bet if you insist on monetizing the source code would be to find the one medium to large company that urgently needs this video chat to work or else they face horrible consequences. Only then will you get a good price.
I suppose if you abstract a problem enough then any action is comparable to another, I can't say I see the usefulness it provides for answering rhetorical questions though.

> Some might think that this is heavy alcoholism, but trust me when I say that having 1–2 drinks everyday in New York is more than normal.

Maybe not heavy, but that sounds still pretty bad. Just because that’s possibly normal does not really make that better. I don’t even think I’d be able to function properly with that much alcohol, and I’m not a light drinker. That’s more than what I drank in University.

> But removing coffee from my diet helped me become more relaxed. Coffee always made me stressed out.

For those who have this problem but don’t want to skip coffee, I can recommend looking into L-Theanine [0] supplements. It’s a part of tea (mainly in green IIRC) and in combination with caffeine helps concentration and wakefulness without producing coffee jitters.

People have differences in how they learn. Some can learn effectively through reading, others learn effectively through doing.

By doing but not reading, you have the potential to gain a more fundamental ground-up knowledge base about why certain approaches work better.

By reading but not doing, you have the potential to gain direct insight into others pre-established knowledge which means you can jump ahead without having a more fundamental knowledge _first_.

I prefer learning by doing, but I think both have valid merits and one is not better than the other. They are just different approaches to the same ends.

But like it was noted in the comment a few levels above - Magit's workflow is nonlinear. It doesn't feel like you're switching from one activity to another. Even when rebasing (which is very transactional), you still can peek into things in other branches, stash and un-stash, resolve conflicts, etc. World doesn't have to freeze just because you're doing "git add -p".
For some context: at that time I was working on a Window Forms ERP tool whose planning module would regularly load and display several million items. It performed surprisingly well considering what it was doing.

As a regular black tea drinker, the caffeine in it has zero effect on me. Drinking any kind of coffee except decaf on the other hand makes me jittery and sweaty.
Our phones GSM bands interfere with unsheilded radios. The effect is most prominent when you’re getting a call and you’re close to a hifi system.

Often you can tell that your phone is about to ring before the phone even begins to vibrate or chime.

There is a high likelihood that this isn’t a problem now and hasn’t been a problem for some time; but it might be wise to err on the side of caution if you want your pilot not to have to repeat or request repeats of radio information.

And once you’re in the air your phone will frenetically try to connect to a cell tower, absolutely murdering battery life. So you should turn it off after take off anyway just for your own battery sake.
Problem is society exactly as the author describes. There is so much pressure on having drinks when going out. This is due to people trying to suppress their insecurity.

Start with yourself: If a sober person is in your round, help him by not let other's in the group mob him. Do not say things like "ohhh why the fuck you not drink?" - just say "cool you don't drink, I respect that" and still do conversations although you do have a drink yourself.

If your group does understand, that there are people who do not need a drink every time, it will help yourself also to "survive" in that group so it becomes more easy to go out sober.

Me myself find it very hard to not drink - but I like to drink and I like to be slightly drunk every now and then. I know that and I live with it. Chances are that some day this might change :)
good luck everyone with whatever helps you to feel better

It is alcholism, maybe not heavy, but alcoholism nonetheless.

> between minimally invasive vs weeks of recuperation and pain

This is an important aspect.

Is the study considering the mortality of the surgery itself? It seems so, but nonetheless it is not a simple procedure.

Second potential bias is possibly how many patients continued with "bad behaviours" after the surgery vs. the stent.
There are a lot of non-alcoholic (and sometimes non-caffeinated) drinks you can order at bars and restaurants, many people would not even know are non-alcoholic - just ask the bartender.

If the people you are hanging out with are judging you for your life choices then they are assholes and you should honestly call them out on it and disassociate with them.

I agree, but instead I would use the term "path-dependent" for hash tables rather than "non-deterministic" because, after all, unless you salt your hash functions, there is really no randomness anywhere. What you think of as non-deterministic really is deterministic but it is determined by the precise order of insertion. This is sometimes also called memorylessness.

Even though tree-based data structures give you an iteration order that is predictable and useful, the structure itself is still not fully memoryless. For example in a red-black tree if you insert an element smaller than all preexisting elements and then immediately delete the minimum, the tree could be different.
I did the same thing, giving up coffee, alcohol and also sugar for about 2 years. I expected to feel superhuman but the truth is I felt basically the same, still often a bit tired on the morning - but I did get quite skinny.
I think "weeks of recuperation" vs. "higher chance of dying" might focus people's minds on not dying.
Except it makes it even more annoying to get out for the window seat behind.

Whatever validation you get from it that you’re not providing yourself, at the very least find someone else to provide that validation but will give it kindly and help you find it yourself, rather than under threat of constantly taking it away.
>> What a useless beast!

Mostly but not entirely. There are cases where you need a tree but you don't care about order, e.g. when order depends on a state that is unknown at time of writing or when all you want to encode are relationships.
Practice, practice, practice. Shave days of waste every year by having great documentation tools on your machine and LEARN the tools you use most so you can skip the google. Invest these saved hours into more important tasks.

Whiteboard a design with a colleague, socialize your ideas.

Open a “do not merge” pull request early and keep pushing changes to it. Keep your lead/mentor tagged and request early feedback.

In a large codebase there are usually many many conventions like “this is THE WAY we do such and such” and it’s important to pick these up. It can be difficult to find these they are not always well documented.

Really, practice. Build things. Write a lot of code for your job. Write a lot of code for yourself on whatever interests you. Put in the hours or keep putting them in if you already are and your knowledge will continue to compound.

And you're probably right that the bias in the study skews the results.

Another possible angle is how you measure "correct" English. American English and British English are technically two separate languages with separate rules. Should you measure the correctness of a Singaporean against either of those? Or should you measure them against some Singaporean English standard instead?

And if you believe that people routinely drink the same quantities of espresso as they do drip coffee or beer and whiskey that comparison would make sense. But people usually drink much less whiskey and espresso, therefore it's much more relevant to compare commonly used quantities.
These are generally known as herbal infusions or tisanes, and not tea.
Hacking is about solving a series of specific problems. Reading will give you direct insight into another's pre-established knowledge, but it's probably not relevant, and it may not be correct.

Code kata in my opinion is the superior way to learn. Code through practice and repetition, just like every other skill.

> Can you explain how an employer gains any advantage by pointlessly requiring degrees today, when they did not previously? What would that do other than raise their labor costs?

Suppose that people with a degree are significantly less likely to quit shortly after you've spent a lot of money training them on your equipment, regardless of whether what they studied in college has any application to the job. If you have to pay the person with a degree a lot more money then maybe it isn't worth it just for that, but if everybody gets degrees and there is an oversupply such that there are more people with degrees than jobs that actually require them, now maybe you can get someone with a degree for a low enough price to be worth requiring it.

> Anyway, the article is clear that increasingly automated factory work requires more educated and independent employees.

That's just the signaling value again. They're not looking for someone with knowledge of GAAP or materials science or economics, they're looking for someone with the proven capacity to earn a degree by studying those things, because it implies they can also learn to run the machines well.

If not as many people had degrees then it wouldn't be worth paying the premium for one of the people who do, and then people who are going to be machine operators don't have to burn four years of their lives and incur significant student debt just to engage in signaling behavior. Instead the employers would have to bear the (lower, but unsubsidized) cost of more attrition as a result of not having the degree to use as an early filter against low quality employees.
Technically true, which is probably the best kind of true, but if we're going to get technical I did say closest. You could program a Transputer to use its links as inputs and outputs in a fabric where the implementation details of program counters and firmware running on a particular Transputer were hidden from sight. This allowed for all kind of interesting architectures to be created 'ad hoc' without having to go through the stages of circuit design and so on, and it allowed for much more complex operations than you'd be able to get out of a 'real' dataflow processor on a single tick or message passed from one processor to another because of the much higher level at which they operated.

So sure, they weren't true dataflow processors right off the bat but you could make them look like a pretty good simulation of one on the outside, even if you didn't have access to a crossbar switch (which would be cheating) and absent the real thing that was as close as I was going to get at the time.

Seems you need to get comfortable with rebasing. Don't think about your commits (especially if you haven't pushed them out) like something carved in stone.

When I work, depending on what I'm doing I either commit often and don't think much about it and then later rebase and group things into meaningful chunks of work, or I just keep committing into a single commit and then at some point break it apart into smaller commits.

Most often though I do try to keep commits nice and clean from the get-go, and very often I want to add something into a commit that's a few hashes away from the HEAD. In that case I would just rebase/modify with autostash option. It will stash everything and get into rebase mode, I'll go into the stash, select things I want to be included in the commit and press `a`, then I continue rebasing, it will modify the commit, un-stash and get me to the point where I was before.

That's tisane/herbal-tea - not "tea" per-se, you can make infusion like this from pretty much anything. Tea has more caffeine than coffee by dry weight. It also depends how long you infuse it, you can easily have a cup of tea that has more caffeine than cup of coffee.
This has been my experience as well, viewed from both sides.

Additionally, sometimes code reviews for newcomers is more involved because we want to see how the person reasons about the problem. It's also helpful to get astonishment reports from newcomers during code reviews.
