I had to stop drinking coffee for reasons, and my view is that you adapt within few months to the new situation in either way. Basically if you drink coffee regularly you start feeling crap without it, but don't reach significantly more alertness than when you don't drink it at all. If you try it very sporadically though - that gives you some serious kick for a few hours.
Do you think that giving people money requires banning education? Education is good for many reasons, but it’s not a cure for poverty.
Anecdotes it is. Quit caffeine in 2015. I was drinking coffee and red bull constantly. Felt like crap for about two weeks. Measurably no difference other than bank balance. Did a crap action film montage in 2019 and went from lard ass to super fit. Massive positive change in cognitive ability and mental health. Started drinking coffee again in 2021. Absolutely no change other than bank balance. Only difference is I keep it to one in the morning now and occasionally swap it for a hot chocolate if I fancy one. And only for the bank balance.

Ergo I suspect the best software developers are the fit and healthy ones.

I'm searching your posts in this topic trying to find something of value and coming up short. You assert that you know rust, and therefor your opinions have merit, but... lots of people know rust and disagree. But somehow your opinions are More Right and the others are just religious Rust shills.

I don't think you know what you're talking about honestly. If you want to pick fights on HN that's cool, we all get that urge, but you're really bad at it.

Mark isn’t particularly well suited to understand the impact of VR/AR on an aging Western population.

Good decaf (Swedish water method) works best for me when trying to cut down on caffeine but maintain the hot aromatic beverage ritual.
This is a popular idea, but guillotine-heavy revolutions were pretty rare in the Western world, and modern revolutions in general, successful or not, were often a consequence of a lost war, not of usual misery in peace. Losing a war is dangerous for survival of any regime.

Peasants' revolts are another story, but too far back in history to be an useful analogy for today. They were also beaten to bloody pulp most of the time.

No, it's not unique. But a GC strengthens, like dynamic typing, your ability to develop more dynamically and together with reflection or duck typing to write code that can deal with to some extent unknown input more easily. You can pass arbitrary objects (also graphs of objects) around very generously. Ysoserial is based more or less on this idea. Passing arbitrary objects around was deemed so useful, that it is also supported by java's serialization mechanism and thus could be exploited. Log4shell exploits similar mechanisms that would be a hell to implement in non-gc languages.
I started drinking coffee about 14 years ago. It was a great help at the time-- it helped me focus, wake up, and move. The routine in the morning was the perfect way to start my day. I also over relied on caffeine to get me going. I started drinking so much that my stomach would hurt and, after a while, it felt like caffeine was putting me on edge all the time. It stopped being able to help me cope with the stress or enable me to do better work.

I quit 6 months ago or so. I tried switching to teas, to supplements, none of it really helped. I moved over to drinking coffee replacements like chicory and dandelion blends because I miss having that taste in the mornings. They really, at best, taste like the cheapest instant coffee you could get, but it's a nice routine to put something in its place.

I'm calmer without it, I feel like I can sleep better, and I feel like I'm better at managing stress without it. But, that's really specific to me, I know some incredible developers who drink plenty of caffeine. It's definitely not a deciding factor and it's not something that I think speaks to anyone's character in any particular way.

When those are scaled, I'll gladly support UBI.

But then UBI won't be needed, as all these will be dirt cheap, like phones ($50 Motorola, not $1500 iPhone).
I had the exact same experience. I've gone 6-8 months of taking roughly 200mg - 300mg a day with no major issues. When I've taken breaks (up to 6 months at a time) I didn't notice any real gain.

The one lasting thing I've noticed is my tolerance. I've never been able to reset back to a "pre coffee" level where I could have like 200mg and be absolutely wired. It goes down, but nowhere near as much. Maybe 6 months isn't a long enough break...
Right, more cases primarily. The performance has been optimized so the searches, search result pages, and individual pages load significantly faster. Most searches load in under 200ms and most pages including SRPs load in less than 20 ms. Search syntax improvements (see info page for details). The search is still not very granular and field-specific, but definitely an area of improvement.
I agree: neither Linus nor FSF have authority to interpret the GPL. The way you find out if a license is enforceable is if you take it to arbitration or court. There's not enough case law in this area to smooth out our understanding of what is and isn't allowed.
I have quit caffeine twice in the past few years with the longest abstinence being around one year. Before that I was chugging up to four double espressi per day which I replaced with decaf. The inital withdrawal was brutal with migraine-strength heachaches (including feeling very sensitive to light and nausea) on the first day and milder headaches for another week or two. I noticed small improvements to my sleep, e.g., falling asleep a bit faster, but I am a bad sleeper in general and having a newborn child did not help.
The biggest benefit was not being dependent on caffeine and not consuming lots of bad coffee as a result (Starbucks et al.). I remember one instance were I was on vacation snowshoeing in the Alps. The cabin were we slept only offered coffee that was absolutely undrinkable and I had a lousy day as a result. Not great...

That being said, I am back on caffeine again because I realized that it acts as a mild anti-depressant for me. It seems to have an effect on my dopaminergic system as well and helps me focus and get stuff done.
Since I started drinking coffee again, I have not had a day where I do not feel like doing anything (not even goofing off) and get nothing done at all. This happened regularly when I was off caffeine.
I manage the negative side effects by not drinking coffee after 2 PM and I limit myself to three cups/espresso shots per day. Seems to work as well.
A hot drink in the morning is a good motivator and ritual. I think that’s the winning thing.

I occasionally do hot chocolate instead which is equally as good thus the caffeine may not be required.
So teach them tools to use against the bigger stonger kids to get a bigger share. Those are the skills that are most valuable

Couldn't you also carefully construct the data migrations for a no-sql store like IndexedDB? In fact they provide a mechanism for it vs. having to bolt one into your SQL system?
Idk. No one I knew was an outspoken racist in school. Especially these days, teenagers seem to be very aware of these issues. Regardless, it’s not the only thing pointed out here. With the original comment it paints a different story than outcry for the sake of outcry.
I would suggest Michael Pollan's Audible short on caffeine. He summarizes some history about the spread of coffee and coffee bean commerce throughout Europe over several hundred years, as well as his experience giving it up cold turkey for a few months while he wrote the book. Also had some interesting hypotheses about the extent to which the molecule has reshaped societies.

My experiments in quitting / reducing caffeine were similar to his, mainly that the benefits of caffeine are probably greater than the costs (depending on the individual). I've reduced my consumption by switching to half decaf and now when I feel like it, I can rekindle that euphoria by opting for a strong espresso drink. I notice more the anxiety that too much caffeine can cause, but I also am more mindful of the simple pleasure that comes with a coffee that I enjoy almost every day.

As far as mind altering substances go, coffee may have some of the least guilt or lowest consequences from being enjoyed.
Scaling them does have to do with UBI, because the argument above is that UBI would not work because the price of some goods and services will rise to compensate because they don't scale. If supply for these critical goods and services is instead increased alongside a progressive UBI deployment, then this wouldn't happen and we'd presumably in a better position afterwards.

If something is relying on the data in the queue to trigger a request to a service using the DB, the requestee may not have the full data yet.

The pattern I usually see is wiring this the other way - use an initial event as the trigger to write to the DB, while also streaming the DB's binlog or equivalent back as events. Now the risk is that another service gets a "too fresh" view but this is usually less harmful than a stale view. Things listening to the binlog events need to process them idempotently, but this is usually not a major complication since most queue designs will require you to be prepared for that anyway.

You're aware pandas and most of scipy is cython, right?

I do something similar where I grind my own blend of decaf and full caff coffee beans. This blend is perfect for me, I can drink 2-3 cups slowly before lunch and have no jitters, but just a nice buzz.
I agree. A hyper-advanced race would probably want to disassemble the star and use its hydrogen for something more efficient than the main-sequence nuclear process, which is pretty wasteful.

Yes, and that is a phase change difference. It's not a trivial enhancement.
These are all things that apply to every major city. SF is no different. When comparing places to live it's important to focus on the differences between the options, what makes each place unique. Not negative truisms about the world. I've lived in Denver, NYC (both Manhatten, Yonkers and Brooklyn), NJ, Sacramento, and traveled extensively around the world. SF is not unique in facing these problems. It is unique in the weather, public spaces and parks (including the world class federal amd state parks within half a days drive), incredible shorelines, culture, history, on and on. Those are what I focus on when choosing where to live. Not the fact that parking will be hard, parking is hard in every city.

I didn't make a moral argument.

What I did do is make an economic one, and suggest how we value things change. A whole bunch of Economics is rooted in a few basies that we all just take as givens. We don't have to.

I also didn't make an equal economic value argument, for that matter.

What a load of BS. Article essentially claims "we don't know how to build an MMO with a billion users", which although not yet done is totally imaginable with today's tech. Facebook is an internet service that already has over a billion users, and MMOs have been sharding up their worlds and using horizontal scaling for a long time. Needing an order of magnitude improvement in compute is honestly not even that impressive even if it were true, we are experiencing order magnitude improvements every few years...

I think this burger restaurant metaphor is... really not great.

Imagine instead that you've spent two years in a kitchen, working nonstop on a completely new type of food. You've discovered how to make something unprecedented, but it took endless rounds of tweaking ingredients and taste-testing. You open a restaurant to sell your food, and it succeeds massively.

... unfortunately for you, the main ingredients are just flour, eggs, sugar and milk, and for whatever reason, it's pretty easy to reverse-engineer your recipe. Within half a year, a dozen copycat restaurants are all making the same thing, except maybe they sprinkle some powdered sugar or salsa on top.

Now, I don't know what you'd do in the restaurant industry to litigate against that. There's probably some viable path, though, because it's obvious that you created something entirely new, and it can't exist without a specific recipe and method.

In the video game industry, though, it's pretty difficult. Patents don't work very well. The legal system hasn't been kind to people trying to claim ownership of gameplay types, even if it's blatantly obvious that the described gameplay wouldn't exist without that person. Platforms also really don't give a shit (see the recent thread about Apple allowing through dozens of Wordle clones, but that's only the latest in a very long history of App Store clones).

I think it's just a narrow and pretty uncharitable view of game dev that would lead to the thought that it's like opening a restaurant, much less one making some food type that has existed for a century. Creating a new gameplay mechanic is not at all like tossing a new type of pickle on a sandwich.
> that one individual who happened to be male had

I don't think it works like that.

I've heard it put like this: evolution is a conservative force, it keeps the genes that work, and remove what doesn't.

I would probably think of it like this: (it's all speculation, we'll never know).

Bigger mammals have bigger lungs and stomachs and deeper voice (because bigger) - thus females are the one who selects that, regardless of if they themselves are big or small (males don't care) - size trend downwards, but still selecting "upwards", so now humans are a bit smaller, male and female, size doesn't change outcome. But voice is still tied to aggression, intimidation, fighting, etc, which males are needed for to protect the females. So we keep the vocal traits while the species trends downwards in size.

The "choose the voice" and "make the voice" strategy has worked for us, so keep doing that.

IE: the mutation happens to both sexes, that we get smaller. It doesn't happen to one sex, "grow a deeper voice". Males would procreate with female deep voice or not.

For us to develop a tail, we'd need to lose our ears (balance) and it would happen to both sexes, unfair for males to have balance and females not.

Virtually all scholars of antiquity accept that Jesus was a historical figure,[note 1][note 2][4][5][6][7] although interpretations of a number of the events mentioned in the gospels (most notably his miracles and resurrection) vary and are a subject of debate.[8][9][10][11] Standard historical criteria have aided in evaluating the historicity of the gospel narratives,[12][13] and only two key events are subject to "almost universal assent", namely that Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist and crucified by order of the Roman Prefect Pontius Pilate.[10][11][9][14]

Well this is where, as any good developer, you have to look at the requirement and ask "why?"

> ... without going through a financial institution.

Why? Why don't we want to go through a financial institution?

Well, honestly, the only REAL reasons are fees on large transactions, and the desire/preference to be able to conduct activities that are illegal by regulated financial institutions.

And that, if we all remember, was the only usecase for bitcoin before speculation - buying drugs and even more illegal things on TOR marketplaces.

Well, that and money laundering.

If you actually want to sit down and read programming books instead of watching movies there's nothing wrong with it. There's no right or wrong to how you want to spend your time so just do what you genuinely want to do.

If its actually interfering with other things though and you feel bugged by it try keeping a journal. If you're done with work, take fifteen minutes or so and write down what you've done, what you're going to do, what you've learned, what you've planned and so on. Writing is a good way to get things out of your mind.
I'm not opposed to carefully crafting a good commit, I'm opposed to a state-heavy, badly named, inconsistent feature to do it. And if you use any decent git UI (including -p on the CLI), you don't really need it to be that persistent very often. It could just be a list of chunks to select in the "make commit" window, which is of course exactly how most git UIs "make commit" window looks. It's a single step then, no intermediary persistent state (with three names).

JJ seems to workaround this in the other direction, by making the concept of commits and rebases much more lightweight, which i think is a refreshing enough take that I'd like to try it.

At some level I get the angst about typing someone's name, especially if it's fairly unusual, and getting back a whole lot of information about, in this case, mostly legal-related stuff and in others past addresses, things they've written etc. for free. (And, if you know something about them you can probably sift the returns somewhat effectively.) You may be able to find out a lot about your date, your neighbor, etc.

On the other hand, outside of casually checking out someone, the reality is that this has long been available for anyone want to spend a very few bucks to do so.
