I never realized how strong caffeine actually is, until I cut down my 5-6 cups a day intake to just 1 in the morning.

Now very occasionally (perhaps once every couple of months) I drink another cup after lunch (but never after 4PM, or I won't be able to sleep properly that night).

The problem is that I _really_ like the flavor. I've tried decaf as well and while it's not bad, I do prefer grinding my beans just before brewing my cup.

I also hate that whenever I have quit cold-turkey I've gotten those nasty migraines. It's impressive how can a drink that we don't really think about much (Starbucks everywhere) can cause such strong effect on people.
When I say "even if you don't do anything" I mean in terms of things like getting a raise or complaining about too-long hours. There have been many times in my career where I've been too burnt out to push for what I thought I deserved. A union's job is to push for what you're worth (or protect your well-being) even through times where you don't have the energy, or even if you're unsure what you're worth.
I don't think it contradicts the discussion, but there might be a rotation of the figure where all the lines appear to intersect. For this reason, while pyramid is demonstrably impossible, the converse is not the case: seeing the lines intersect doesn't necessarily mean it's possible.
Does tea or soda give you the migraines as well? Or just coffee?
Quitting caffeine cold-turkey is very unpleasant. It can take a full two weeks of withdrawal (bad headaches, general tiredness). I’ve had more success reducing the amount (3/4 caf -> 1/2 caf) over time.

Anything more that 4 cups a day is probably unhealthy. Remember that 1 “cup” of coffee is actually 6 oz, so a normal coffee mug or latte is twice that. One coffee (2 “cups” or a latte) in the morning and one around 2pm works fine for me, but everyone’s body is different.
Thanks for the feedback! We actually had a feature for “what is the accuracy if I only consider >80% confident samples” but we iterated away from it because people found it complicated. We’ll definitely bring it back when we can make it simple enough.

We’ve also found that people can get lost in the filters; in particular the “Not assigned” annotation filter we probably need to remove for people who have annotated all of their data.

In terms of separating training / test data: we use cross-validation so that we can abstract away the concept of train vs. test vs. validate sets.
I think that the complaint was about MS technical documentation which is justified IMHO.

MS technical documentation has always been more concerned with quantity over quality.

It is exceedingly hilarious that you took:

When I moved to University in Canada I was introduced to "Wake Ups" caffeine pills.

I am not a coffee drinker, but I liked to stay up late, and I had to go to class, so I decided to try these out, since at that age you feel like you are invulnerable.

These symptoms seem pretty consistent with some that I felt in extreme cases. I stopped taking them after a few attempts.

The positives of Caffeine were great though. I felt "on" like never before. Sharp, quick-witted, alert. I appreciate why some find it difficult to quit. Is there anything else that has a similar effect minus the downsides?
No more aiming for Ramen Profitable, I see.

Is this forced evolution due to other VCs entering the early stage market?
The risk is now "priced in" to our consciousness. Back when it first started, covid was a big scary unknown risk to take for simply going outside and interacting with people. Now, it's a well-known risk, and people are willing to take that risk, along with other well-known risks for going outside, like the risk of getting into a car accident or slipping and falling.
I am not sure what you are arguing for but obviously there are off-chain parts, too. The point is that once Ape Yacht Club or whoever has publicized their address I can always confirm in the future whether an Ape NFT originated from them and how it was traded after that.

Loosely similarly, if I want to communicate with someone securely they first have to communicate to me their public key but once I have it I can always verify that a message comes from them and send them messages back.

Lots and lots of things are different now.

Salary prospects, for the people they want to fund. Competition from other investors. The follow on ecosystem of investors.

Also the startup opportunities of 2022 Vs 2007.... both "real" differences and differences in belief about said opportunities.

Airbnb, Reddit and such were websites that a clever, motivated 19 year old could build and launch in short time. There are fewer of these opportunities now, and mor opportunities at heavier scale.
This is precisely what I was referring to. I sometimes wonder if the dev community has blinders on regarding how much elegance lives with this technique.
Yeah. You just have to build models, experiment, intentionally make bad decisions, and get a feel for how things work. There's no clear shortcut.

But, this is also what you will practically be doing.

I think your calculation of car sizes is a bit wide. I think most cars in the US are around 6 feet wide. Even large minivans are only around 2m. Granted, the mirrors add width and some drivers add excessive dongles on the edge of that, but conscientious drivers of wide vehicles should already be accustomed to passing slow moving vehicles more carefully. In addition, in the places where there are proper dedicated cycle lanes, the lanes are painted inside a full-width shoulder, with space to spare on both the left and the right.

I found there were quite a few stretches of road in Florida, for example, where there were 3 or 4 lanes of high speed traffic going parallel to a painted cycle path in the shoulder. It wasn't the most relaxing place to ride, but it still felt safer than going down some of the highways and arterial roads in other states where there were few (if any) cycle paths, simply because the drivers had more visual aids (signage plus lines) to tell them what to do when they saw a cyclist. I felt more confident cycling even in other parts of Florida without the cycle lanes because despite the drivers being fairly inconsiderate, at least they didn't visibly panic when they saw me there.

It is important to compare like with like, though. A "cycle path" which is just a bit of different-colored paint in the gutter of an existing traffic lane is pretty much useless. But if the painted cycle path is explicitly painted in what would otherwise be a full-width shoulder, I agree with other commenters here that it allows more flexibility to the cyclist than a separated lane (e.g. in turning left without needing to do a pedestrian-style hook turn) and it has the side effect of teaching drivers how to more carefully consider other traffic.

I really think a lot comes down to driver education. For example in areas where there is frequently slow farm equipment or horse and buggies on the main road, drivers have learned how to share the road, so it feels safe to cycle when there is no cycle path or even no shoulder at all. Unfortunately my experience in a lot of the US is that most drivers don't know how to deal with cyclists, so they'll ignorantly tailgate, cut you off or abuse you just for following the road rules. I'm not sure if that results in more casualties, but it certainly makes the experience of cycling more fraught, which means less people will want to cycle, so there is a vicious circle of increasing driver ignorance. I think painted lines at least provide some antidote to that.

For me, giving up the second cup in the afternoon makes all the difference. With just one cup in the morning, I enjoy quality sleep, reduced jittery and no ache in the blood vessels. A second cup literally destroys my next day, and I would wake up tired, wanting even more coffee.
Obviously responses are self-selecting, but it seems reasonable to believe they’re equally self-selecting.
Even if you're overweight, cycling a bike is very rarely a problem. I'm an active cycle campaigner so I am definitely more exposed to many types of cycle commuters, but I know many people who are overweight for whom cycling is their primary method of transport. At two of my friends have told me that they cycle because it is actually more comfortable than walking long distances for them. I personally have an injury which can make it tough to walk long distances, but which doesn't stop me cycling 10x that distance.

I also know several people who have various form of physical disability who cycle either totally normal bikes or ebikes, or adjusted (to different degrees) bikes or ebikes.

If we had better cycle infrastructure where I live (a relatively small European city), many many more people would release that they can get where they're going faster and cheaper on a bike than in a car, and have more fun while doing it. Even when it's raining.
Adding battery storage is prohibitively expensive- not worth it unless you're preparing for an emergency or need to go off grid.
I know you were just exaggerating for effect, but obviously a lot of illicit drugs (and not so illicit depending on the person: alcohol) are a lot harder to quit for various reasons.

> How many of the COVID-19 patients currently in hospitals really need to be there, and how many would be triaged out if more urgent cases presented?

https://www.wbaltv.com/article/covid-19-emergency-actions-ma...

Hospitals in my area have cut 20% of surgeries (ie: triaged out care to make room for COVID19). The governor has deployed National Guard to the hospitals to help out with tasks.

Are you just blind to the issues happening right now? This is happening, this is happening now. Take off your blindfolds and talk to a damn nurse or doctor. This is happening all over the place as far as the eye can see.

---------

Just call up your local-clinic and ask them for a flu-shot. Stand in line for 4-hours for things _COMPLETELY_ unrelated to COVID19, and come back and tell me that its fake. Go ask the receptionist "why is the line so long", and they'll tell you: COVID19.

I know because I done it. (Well, not for a flu-shot but for a TDAP. Nearly the same thing)
> For nuisance behavior like this

This doesn't qualify as nuisance behavior. The risks are very real, particularly with civilian/LEO aircraft which don't have the training (and possible countermeasures) that a military pilot would.
When I quit, I tapered down at the rate of 5oz a week and never experienced headaches.

From an electrical standpoint it's safe as long as your inverter cuts off when grid power goes out. Grid tie inverters are designed to do that.

Some meters will be unhappy running backwards. They may not register the right numbers but they won't blow up.

From a regulatory standpoint your utility won't be happy with you feeding power to the grid if you haven't notified them ahead of time. How unsafe that is depends on your local laws. The dangers here are fines and service cutoffs, not fires and electrocution.

We have lots of secret charges in Denmark. Usually it is because there are more than one person involved and we don't want to tip anybody of.

Often the identity of the person involved is also secret, but that is to protected that person, in case he or she is innocent. Such orders are always removed when the person is found guilty (to my knowledge anyway).

I think charges have to be revealed when the actual proceedings start, and of course the defendant and their lawyers know.
I successfully reduced caffeine to zero a few times before (usually after reading posts like this). I didn't quit cold turkey though, I gradually tapered it off over couple of weeks. No withdrawal effects at all.

If you consider caffeine very addictive, use techniques developed for fight addiction to addictive drugs like benzos.

Ah, that totally makes sense. I know that's what "peerDependencies" is used for by many projects. For example, `react-dom` has a peerDependency on `react`. This can either be pinned to an exact version (react-dom@1.1.1 must be used with react@1.1.1) or it can require a range (react-dom@1.1.1 may be used with react@^1.0.0 (any version 1.0.0 and up)).

That seems tricky with the shrinkwrap, as you describe above, because it might create additional versions everywhere instead of trying to collapse them. (If you have 3 versions of `react` in peerDependencies, but each package had a npm-shrinkwrap.json, then you'd end up with 3 different versions of `react` installed.)

Would the burden then fall on your package manager to resolve this, ie npm or yarn? If it sees 3 different shrinkwraps (1.1.1, 1.1.2, 1.1.3) but they all have compatible peerDependencies (>=1.1.1, >=1.1.2, >=1.1.3) it could then pick the version that is compatible with all of the peerDependencies but that also exists in a shrinkwrap (so 1.1.3).

That would protect you from this "colors" scenario of somebody publishing `1.1.4` with malicious changes because, unless somebody were to shrinkwrap it, then it wouldn't get picked up by default. (In contrast to the current semver, which likely would pick up 1.1.4 upon a fresh `npm install`).

The inverse side of this is highlighted by another comment on this post: That semver makes absorbing security updates an easier process in the event of a log4j-style vulnerability. There is always a tradeoff, for sure!
Stories like this make me reconsider making that second cup later on in the day. It's just that it's so hard to let yourself be tired when the solution is so easily accessible.

I find that making a french press or V60 encourages me to make a lot more coffee just because I can, so I've since switched to the aeropress. People often state they wish it made more coffee, but it's been a nice way for me to limit caffeine consumption without feeling like I'm really restricting myself.
I think it did that, if i remember correctly, the error message was from the linker.

Duly noted.
ruby and rails is a much nicer, more complete, more consistent, and easier to learn ecosystem relative to js/node. and node is just the js server, so you need need a framework on top of it, like react/angular/vue/ember, to be equivalent. for most use cases, i really can't recommend the js-heavy route now that rails comes with hotwire (a transparent js framework for live/async html transfer, rather than json).

for authentication/authorization/security, it's great to learn by writing those from scratch, but unless you want that to be your career focus, you'd really be much better off to defer to battle-hardened libraries in those areas for any commercially-/publicly-oriented web app.

large parts of this comment are an appeal to authority. India’s response to the pandemic was an absolute disaster to the poor who incidentally make up the majority of the country and whose voices are rarely heard. This comment reeks of privilege and a lack of information about just how bad the indian medical situation is.

As just one example, india STILL does not have a good handle on WHAT is killing people. Up until 2018, there were annual death surveys to determine the cause of death. Think about that - people go door to door and record verbal responses about how people died. That is how poor data in india is.

These are not anecdotes and you should - respectfully - stop taking anything the indian government says at face value.

Completely agree. My manager at the time thought it was a brilliant idea to have new people write the wiki when they started, because “they just learned the right way to do it from a senior person!”. This is not something I took with me into my own transition to management.
That seems pretty excessive. Whenever I've gone off caffeine, it's only taken 2 days of light headaches. Am I an outlier here?
> - What is the average level of risk to someone taking reasonable personal precautions?

How much risk to others is acceptable? Even though someone who follows reasonable personal precautions, but decided not to vaccinate and, therefore, has a higher risk of being a carrier and infect someone else who also followed reasonable precautions but cannot vaccinate for medical reasons. That second person now faces a 3% risk of dying a horrible death. Even if the second person is fully vaccinated, the chances of dying are non-zero, and increased because another person decided not to be vaccinated.

If we could contact-trace perfectly, would it be fair to charge person A with reckless endangerment, because person A didn't take all available measures to prevent further deaths? If person B dies because of person A, should we call it manslaughter?
I'm double vaxxed and boosted and just spent 4 days in the hospital with Covid.

I actually entered the hospital without Covid and got it while I was in there. They had the entire place divided into separate wings and I had to be transferred between them. 103 degree fever, pulse 130, was pretty awful but came out of it fine.

I, too, am done with all of it. Let the chips fall where they may now.

Perhaps for the women at the bottom of the pay scales, but an average or above average earning woman should be able to downgrade quality of life and still "cut loose".

Progress for some portion of society can be a regression for others.

There is no question that I would rather live in a world where my daughter had just as much opportunity as my son to be a doctor or start her own business or whatever she wants to do. The possible cost of this reality is that the variance of family life across society will increase, with those at the bottom experiencing a quality of life worse than they would have had if society did not offer women the freedom to pair up with similarly advantaged men and compound their benefits.
"For more than a year, I did everything that public-health authorities told me to do. I wore masks. I canceled vacations. I made sacrifices. I got vaccinated. I got boosted. I’m happy to get boosted again. But this virus doesn’t stop. Year over year, the infections don’t decrease. Instead, virulence for people like me is decreasing, either because the virus is changing, or because of growing population immunity, or both. Americans should stop pointlessly guilting themselves about all these cases."

Yes, indeed. It's time for people to resume critical thinking regarding this, and not be guided by "lizard brain" level fear responses. The virus has evolved, we've learned more, we know who to protect the most -- time to adapt.

This also incentivizes founders to raise at a higher cap to minimize the dilution from the $375k. I imagine it'll be harder for investors to negotiate a lower cap or get a discount.

If by Photoshop users you mean print professionals, you're right. Arguing isn't worth your time. Adobe has built its reputation around actually listening to professional designers working in the print, film, and Web industries and adding features to their software to support workflows from those industries. GIMP... has not. (As another example also mentioned here, in addition to CMYK, Photoshop also knows about spot colors and can separate those for prepress as well.) Until GIMP gets actual, professional customers and really listens to them, it's a nonstarter in this space.
