I second the “experimenting” thing. I would recommend going caffeine free for a couple weeks every once in a while, just to kind of… keep track of the addiction. I’ll quit coffee occasionally, historically usually for a tolerance break if it’s getting a bit too much, or to just kind of “reset” my brain chemistry.

I ultimately found that reducing was a good idea, but I personally like coffee a lot and feel it adds something for me. I also have adhd though, so I’m probably playing with a slightly different deck on the “how stimulants interact with the brain” front.

I have found that having controls and limits around caffeine intake is a pretty good practice. I found that to reliably sleep well, I need to never drink caffeine after noon. And reducing my intake a bit helps as well. But from there, I haven’t seen much further benefit from quitting entirely.

Your example is not Pascal problem. It is inability of an author to come up with clean looking version. One can do bad style in any language.
Woodshedding is definitely "just" practice but at least in jazz it does have a certain connotation. Like a single musician probably has a few different practice routines depending on their goals at the time and woodshedding is implying deep focus on a passage or specific application of a technique. Rather than like, playing through whole songs or running scales or whatever they might also do another time.
400mg of caffeine equals to ~1.0L - 1.2L of filter coffee. Drinking it in one go is not that easy or common to begin with.

When you drink in 300ml mugs with normal speed, you clear the caffeine 10 hours after your last mug. That was my point.

If we want to skew numbers, we can take pure caffeine in powdered form theoretically, but that would be very unpleasant to deal with, and is not the mode of caffeine consumption I have seen around, to be honest.
When Should Copyright Get Shorter?
Chances are I’m on your website for information, mostly text content. Which really doesn’t require JavaScript.

So then, most JavaScript on the web is enabling revenue generation rather than improving the user experience. So yeah, disabling JS is a proxy for, “don’t waste my time.”

But I agree that it’s not inherently bad, but just mostly bad (for the user.)
> None of the values we deal with day to day

'0' is twice-defined by IEEE 754, together with ±inf and nan. They aren't very interesting values in terms of monetary transactions, though.
As someone who has been coding in Delphi for a living for the past 5 years I'd argue the syntax being verbose is only a small part of a larger problem, which is that (object) pascal is a very bad language for pattern recognition.

The syntax highlighting in current IDEs like RAD Studio or Lazarus is very poor (though I'm not as familiar with the later).

I mean I think aside from keywords, strings, numbers and comments everything has the same color. Even if the syntax was less verbose, we'd still be reading each word. It is basically the same as having no syntax highlighting at all.

And even assuming the syntax highlighting would get better and/or the syntax would be less verbose, we'd still be reading each word because of the case-insensitive nature of the language.

The compiler might not care about the case, but at least my eyes do. So unless I'm reading the word I could not really say whether MyMaGiCaLnAmE and mYmAgIcAlNaMe is the same name or not.
> But even if it "just delays the inevitable", that's a very good thing, as it can be time used to patch the issue.

My point is that in this case, the additional time is nowhere near sufficient to make much of a difference. This is especially true when you consider that an attacker could be probing URLs before finding an exploit, in which case that tiny delay between "exploit found" -> "all users compromised" shrinks to zero.
My theory of software design is that the designers who are designing software don't really understand how software works. They got into "product design" because it sounded creative and fun. They're glorified graphic designers rather than people who think about "products" as software. They think of software as sleek consumer goods. They're not engineers.

Perhaps that's why nearly every software engineer's blog that gets posted on Hacker News has significantly better UX than the websites of professional product designers, if those designers even took the time to make their own website in the first place.
For what it's worth, my wife and I also sit and drink coffee in the morning together (although not as a consistent daily ritual). Ours is just decaf. (good) Decaf can taste very good. I've certainly had decaf that was better than most caffeinated coffee I've had. But it's harder to find serious attempts at decaf roasts, sadly.

I can also say that after quitting caffeine (8-9 months ago) my sleep improved dramatically for about 5 months. Then I started getting sloppy and mixed in light-caff (like chocolate and decaffeinated teas/coffees) and other factors in my life also kicked in and sleep got worse again. Unfortunately I don't have the drastic caffeine cut to fall back on now.

For me, the change 9 months ago was entirely one change - unsweetened caffeinated drinks to unsweetened purely non-caffeine drinks (like "dandy blend" and rooibos).

Anxiety didn't decrease noticeably when I made the change, but sleep improved a lot. Now if I drink caffeinated teas (3 times in the past 2 months) or eat a lot of chocolate I definitely feel the anxiety and just general discomfort. So there's a link of some sort. It feels uncomfortable now...

Bookmarks have received woefully little attention in all browsers for reasons unknown to me. If one pulls up a browser from 20 years ago, bookmark management is basically identical or even slightly better in some circumstances.

I guess making bookmarks better isn’t sexy so nobody’s bothered.

You are mixing Strategic decision with Product Launches.
This sounds straightforward but you're glossing over a lot of second order effects. Notably, if this idea dominates your attitude you'll be much more likely to miss the cases where a bit of judicious optimization actually would save substantially more in hardware costs. And it may not be 1k of hardware costs, but hundreds of k per year of cloud compute costs, depending on the situation.
Yes. Just surprising how calorie dense the “healthy” office food is versus home food despite not seeming so.

The home food was not made with any particular effort to be above and beyond healthy or low calorie either.

Yes, agreed. We believe the benefits of reducing latency are non-linear. You can hit different phase changes as the latency reduces and new applications become viable. Roundtripping text-to-speech and speech-to-text is one example. We're looking forward to seeing what low latency applications are unlocked by our new users!
If I bought an album a month for the rest of my life, I would have 600 albums. In the last MONTH I have listened to music from that many albums on Spotify. So the forever argument doesn't really pain me.
A travel mug is more an amorphous volume than simply 20oz.

A Stanley Mug, like the recent Stanley x Starbucks collaboration is 40oz.
I believe this may be what they are referring to.

However, it's rare that individuals with the 40oz mugs are filling them with coffee, and if they're with espresso drinks, it's more likely that the volume of milk is increased rather than consuming 8 shots of espresso.

I'd assume most people with travel mugs that consume coffee are using 10 - 16oz mugs like myself?
The headline is a bit clickbait.

Because the article goes on to say:

Much like iancmceachern, my experience is the opposite of yours. The office forces me into human interactions I wouldn't have chosen of my own free will, and WFH significantly increases the time I spend on relationships that matter, those I've chosen. A lot of it has to do with living in a dense urban area and cultivating a circle of friends that I can meet with little to no planning.

I think it's got a lot to do with one's personality, priorities (whether to live in a dense area or not), interests (how big of a share work takes in the things you enjoy) and willingness to proactively cultivate human interactions.

Like other things related to WFH, there doesn't seem to be a one-size-fits-all answer and I like it. Having more room to allow more varied types of individualities to co-exist freely is a good thing in my opinion.

>One of the studies reviewed found that 46.9% of employees working from home had gained weight, and another put the figure at 41%. Most of the papers reviewed showed that homeworkers were more sedentary.

This is an important caveat.

And the decrease in blood pressure is apparently just referring to blood pressure taken at a company office vs. blood pressure taken at home.
And the rest of the production capacity goes to nvidia, of course.
I definitely can't sleep as well if I drink coffee after say 5pm. I also have quite an extreme effect of coffee when it comes to sharpening my attention and cognitive ability. Those of my friends who say they can sleep well after coffee also don't really report any significant effect on ability after a cup. I think it's two sides of the same coin. You get the good with the bad, if your caffeine receptor-thingies are tuned.

Why not? There are even philosophical theories that the reality itself is just a manifestation of mathematical laws.

I agree with this, although the timeline differs a bit between companies. I was at Salesloft from 1M ARR -> 100M ARR, so I saw this roughly play out. However, I will say that the founders did an exceptional job staying close to the product well after 10M ARR.

I think a lot of it is due to the VC playbook. The question of "who am I building my business for?" looks a lot different between VC and bootstrap. Once you start getting into heavy hitter revenue (grain of salt, I've never done this as a founder), the machine starts working largely on its own. It's probably more impactful to spend time on the business systems instead of the product.

But bootstrapped founders seem more likely to stay close to the product for longer. Eventually they may want some sort of out, and you see the playbook execute much much quicker.

Now, I have other theories on why it doesn't play out well. Going from 10M -> 50M ARR is a huge hurdle. You have to really level up a lot of the business itself to do so. It might be that it's just not possible for a lot of companies to bridge the gap. I think it's easier to go 50M -> 100M than 10M -> 50M.
"But later they sell it and the next owner needs a car so now they join the street parking scene"

OK, they can pay market rate for street parking.

Ultimately what I see you proposing is denying people homes because you want to use public land to store your private property free of charge.
So we have people in the camp "don't waste space with padding, please" and then, each time a KDE discussion appears "how the hell can they cram so many information and text with no padding, it's unreadable" camp.

Damned if you do, and damned if you don't.
> I have never had anything like anxiety, before nor after coffee. I suspect that for many people's cases with such things, other dietary changes (including unnoticed enormous amounts of sugar with the coffee) may be the real culprit. But it's so hard to say with individuals.

AIUI there's a well established genetic component to caffeine sensitivity and metabolism.

Personally I find dissolving in a spoonful of lions mane mushroom powder takes the edge off and also seems to mitigate withdrawal symptoms should I choose to take a break for more than a day.

What alternative do you suggest and why would it work better than capitalism?
It's a system built from hundreds of GroqChips (a custom ASIC we designed). We call it the LPU (language processing unit). Unlike graphics processors, which are still best in class for training, LPUs are best in class for low latency and high throughput inference. Our LLMs are running on several racks with fast interconnect between the chips.
“very few people drink 1-2 cups” - I really doubt this, most people I know drink 1-2 cups.
> lamenting the death of cubicles.

I’m too young to have worked in cublicles but man, each time I see pictures of them, I don’t get why they were so unpopular. I’ve never had so much room for my stuff and so much privacy during my career in open-spaces (except of course WFH).

I’m amazed at how nobody understands that open-spaces are awful to do a job that requires focusing.
Caffeine is self-medication for the drudgery of the modern life. Also Texas allergy season.
Except you ain't really putting up a meaningful obstacle against an attacker here. Compared to the typical effort of cracking a corporate VPN, brute-forcing IDs is downright trivial.

Ask HN: Why are Android phones such a scam?
I don't have crazy requirements: Email, banking and reading PDFs. All I want is compatibility with my banking apps, security, a decent battery life, and a big bright screen for outside use. So really I could do with any budget phone. I typically like Motorola offerings.

My problem is the Android support. Why does every Android phone get depreciated after a couple of years? It pisses me off because I feel gamed. It's not about the money, but the principle. I don't need to buy a phone every two years. I want to keep my phone until the battery dies. That usually means four to six years and with newer battery technology, probably even longer.

Is there a solution to this? I considered LineageOS but my banking apps won't work without the secure Android environment and I really don't want to mess with that, because even if its secure and I get it working, an update could leave me stranded without money.

It sort of blows my mind that even in this supposedly competitive market there isn't a single decent option for an average guy like me.
How high a level are we talking? Is it common to have so few enzymes that a non-insane dose of coffee per day overwhelms the liver?
Winamp is a lightweight program that runs on your personal computer, loading files or folders of mp3s and other audio files that you own/control. The UI is pleasant, stable, customizable, responsive. Nothing will trigger the user's attention, no recommendations, UI changes or updates. No attempt to sell or monetize anything. No surveillance or tracking.
Sure. I usually just use !x for that.
European housing is expensive because people want to live there. I lived in Lausanne for two years, super expensive, although cheaper than Zurich or Geneva. Lots of mid rise housing, the only place you would see SFHs is by the lake in a very narrow corridor. Not much historical housing to consider, a lot of it was even ugly brutalesque. Yet supply still didn’t keep up with demand even according the Swiss density. Couple that with high paying jobs, and things were going to be tight. Even if you found something at a high price, you were in line with 20-50 people competing for the same rental.

American housing is on easy mode in comparison to Europe.

> This isn't a code review product, it's just selecting candidates who think similarly to the publisher, ensuring a monoculture of thought.

I have to agree to this. It takes a quite a lot of experience, maturity and wisdom as a software engineer to learn to appreciate other view points that do not agree with your current view.
We get urban sprawl and people building towns and homes in wildly inappropriate areas, such as forests. Which is why you see people's house going up in flames due to wildfire.

Meanwhile, human habitation continues to be a very small portion of land usage. We like living in metropolitan areas for a reason.

Anyway, we get a lot of benefit from immigration. I don't suggest we stop, but rather that we should adjust to demand. Nimbyism and zoning is still a problem especially with urban sprawl.
Spammers have reason to target GitHub: GitHub is listed on many resumes, so it's worth money.

The problem comes when social engineering spammers are investigated. They blame others, and get those others delisted from GitHub.

I suspect that, like eBay, CraigsList, SpamHaus, and (R)eddit, GitHub's spam fighters are now completely coned by the spammers so that they only shut down honest people.

Unless you have ADHD physiology, in which case caffeine in small amounts can be almost like a narcotic. Everybody is different; ask your doctor.

Last week there was this mini-thread about Oxide and OCP: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39352503
I never used to drink coffee, just now I'm thinking it might just have been that it becqme easier to get decent coffee at some point, when I was younger, coffee granules were standard and I never really liked it. I think someone got me a drip coffee machine and I quite liked it.

I quickly picked up on too much of it affecting my sleep though, I guess i had a decent baseline to compare to. so I quickly limited it to just having one in the morning workdays, and occasionally one on weekends. I still have days where I don't drink any, and I don't notice any difference in sleep.
What is noteworthy about these albums that the artists would not have made them otherwise?

Pink Floyd’s next album had the cover and best song dedicated to saying how much they hated the record label

I had some great feedback from some 9Front folks and ended up meeting up with a bunch of them after the event.

Given that I was half-expecting a lynch mob, this was a very pleasant surprise indeed... ;-)
I don’t hate my co-workers, however, commute time means less time for friends, family, and hobbies. When you have young kids time is very limited.

If I were single and younger I’d likely want to be in office.
Individual DHT nodes should only see a trickle of packets. A few kilobytes per second. Even less per remote IP. So they can set fairly strict rate limits.

And ISPs are in a much better position to solve this problem anyway. They should ask for higher peering fees from peers that don't do source-filtering.
Hoping it’s not completely temporary, and more of a significant fork in the road— there’s the path leading back to the office, but the path leading home has at least now been paved.

I’m on paper a field worker now, so I don’t even have an office to return to. Company doesn’t seem to want to push for RTO, but I know these things change on a dime. Just like layoffs are NEVER EVER WE PROMISE happening, until, very suddenly, they are. Enjoying it while I have it, but if I lose it, that little WFH fork in the road is still there (I hope)
I took the parent comment's "contrast" as a bit of joke, but even if it wasn't intended that way, I think it expresses something very real about the way some of us experience "spirituality" - i.e. that the rituals and "orderliness" of say, the Catholic church, seem to get in the way of spirituality more than they help it. Contrasting this with sacred music can help illuminate what I mean - music seems, in some way, to bypass much of the "logical" aspects of the ritual and hit us somewhere a little bit deeper.

I'm not quite sure where I stand on this, as a lapsed Catholic and also as a lapsed "New Atheist" who's found himself somewhere in the middle (the dreaded and wishy-washy "spiritual but not religious" category).

I share a general... mistrust of heavily ritualized / dogmatized religion. But at the same time, I recently attended a Catholic funeral for my grandma, and was very affected by some of the procedures. In particular, the final funeral blessing at the end of the mass, where the priests swung the censer over the casket, was quite beautiful - the smoke slowly ascending, lit by the stained glass, and the walk out with the casket with light streaming through those windows.

These rituals stick around for a reason - it doesn't have to be a supernatural reason, but it certainly felt, during that service, that the whole mass had been very well designed to hit at some deep-seated and primal feelings within the attendees.

So anyway, as seems to be my pattern on these matters, I find myself somewhere in the middle - able to appreciate both the ritualistic and naturalistic approaches to spirituality. (But never quite able to come down hard for one side or the other!)
Some offices are too good at having great treats and snacks. Those are bad for the body.
