It's not necessarily placebo, but the fact that your body has adjusted to caffeine, so you need it in the morning to reach "normal" levels.

I am curious about the advantages of a newsletter over a blog featuring an RSS feed that you can subscribe to. The concept of getting mailed regularly seems so 1.0 and overcomplicated.

Kind of an anecdote, but still interesting, thanks. The question is, then, for how long will Skype be as popular as it currently is? And, will these teens keep using it as they age? If so, will Skype's demographic tend to follow them?

Actually this can be addressed with HTTP/2 although I think the solution may be just as complicated. If the yet-to-be-known parameters are encoded in the query string then the requests can be pushed to the client before the client knows it will be requesting them. This could be done with a middleware that used the Referer header (and maybe some fancy isomorphism) to determine what should be pushed.

Look you're being just as hand wavy, and your sterile gut idea is a bit of spherical cow. We will never be able to sterilize our environment to the point where we can easily maintain a sterile gut. No one fully understands the human microbiome, including you.

Are there any case studies of people maintaining a sterilized gut and living healthier lives? Therapies like fecal transplant or helimintic therapy actively introduce third parties into your gut with positive outcomes. Which at least suggests that bacterial balance in the gut is important for some people.

As you have written, a formal test/analysis will always detect that a monotonously increased tick counter will not be bound by an upper limit. And the obvious solution is that you don't rely on such a thing, but define your API such that the (preferably unsigned, but doen't matter) tick-counter will roll over in a well defined way.

If the algorithms really depend on an always monotonously increasing tick-counter (which I doubt), the solution is quite easy: After 2^30 ticks set a flag which raises the "service needed" light in the cockpit, taking the plane out of service until it's power cycled. By this you explicitly state that your device cannot be used longer than 120 days continuously.
Thank you. This is a lot of information to digest! But I think it helped me to see the beauty of this. When we map our programs into these well understood abstractions (monads, functors and stuff), we get for free means of combining them and handling them in very generic ways.

I don't mean to be rude, but what is the utility for this ?

German Politicians – Why Don’t They Tell It Like It Is?
A general solution to the overflowing-clock problem is to deal with the clock in modular arithmetic. When wanting to know if t2 comes before t1, check the MSB of the modular difference.

uint32_t t1 = ...;
uint32_t t2 = ...;
if ((uint32_t)(t2 - t1) >= UINT32_C(0x80000000)) {
// t2 is before t1
} else {
// t2 is after or equal to t1
}

What this gives us is that if the difference of the actual times (not these uint32 representations which are ambiguous modulo 2^32) is less than 2^31 units (plus minus one maybe..), this check will give the expected result. This does allow a correct system that never fails if the timing/duration of the events is suitably limited.

For example you time events at a fixed time interval, and it will keep going forever in spite of clock roll-over.

uint32_t next_time = now();
while (1) {
while ((uint32_t)(now() - next_time) >= UINT32_C(0x80000000));
printf("Shoot\n");
next_time += interval;
}

The timing events also need to be processed quickly enough of course (that printf shouldn't block for longer than about 2^31).
I honestly don't see the point, but then maybe that's because literally none of the code I write uses a callback to multiply a number by 2.

I've seen similar "look how minimal a closure can be" arguments for several languages, and they always use a ridiculously simple body - usually `$x * $y` or `$x * 2` etc.

How do they end up looking (and thus how easy are they to read) when its a realistic body with several lines?

This is true, but it's also inefficient for society as a whole. Basically, what the other side is saying is that yes, negotiating is a skill, but the reason why our economy works so efficiently is that we instituted division of labor. If everybody specializes in some skill, then they will be better at it than a jack-of-all-trades. On average, an engineer should be able to become a better engineer if they do not simultaneously have to worry about improving their negotiation skills. That would be overall beneficial to society.

So it might actually be better for society if the range of potential income is much smaller, because individuals in such a society would spend less time on skills like negotiation, which are not directly productive.

Depending on your outlook on life and how much anxiety the knowledge about income differentials causes you, the situation can look very much like a prisoner's dilemma.
I prefer signed time types, because you frequently subtract them. If you use unsigned, then you have to cast the result to signed every time:

int64_t elapsed = (int64_t)(t1 - t0);

And it's very easy to cause disaster with:

if ((t1 - t0) > 50) ...

which also succeeds if t1<t0.

While it's theoretically possible, using all 64 bits is tricky and very hard to test.

Sorry, this makes no sense. It would be far, far cheaper to decrease pollution than to build airtight seals around every living space. Just think about how impractical and expensive that would be. Space stations and submarines are airtight, and they are extremely expensive. Now imagine making every building to similar standards, and connections between them to the same standards. Then think about how space stations and submarines must be maintained in order to remain in working condition, and how expensive that is. It would be absurdly impractical.

In fact, reality bears this out. Pollution in the U.S. is down over the past several decades, compared to its previously increasing. Pollution controls work and are economically viable.

Yes, developing (and far more corrupt) nations like China are increasingly choking themselves with air pollution. That's because of their social problems (i.e. not putting enough value on human life and quality of life). Their governments are willing to let their citizens suffer, and their citizens are powerless to effect change within their social and governmental structures.

Eventually the costs will become too great and even the corrupt governments will have to do something. (Or the rich/powerful will live in expensive, isolated structures while everyone else suffers.)

But one thing that certainly won't happen is to encase everything in airtight seals. Not unless Free Energy happens, in which case pollution would no longer be an issue anyway.
Those are the standard skills of marketing people I've worked with, getting paid around £30000/year. I find this very peculiar, maybe the companies particularly dysfunctional, but there seems to be a missing variable.
If airlines can't play pricing games there will be fewer flights and higher average prices. Airlines make an average of $7 per passenger, so those last minute $100 hikes to ticket prices or higher ticket prices for in-demand direct flights generally aren't buying private jets for airline executives, they're making the route actually viable to operate.

If an airline sells a large block of seats or its competitor sells out and is now 99% certain they'll fill the flight at a higher price, why should they be forced to hold the price at the same level just because it's still Tuesday?
Not strange at all.

A suit is a uniform. In a more practical sense, it's a means of directing creative energy away from irrelevant causes, such as self-expression, and enabling you to put undivided focus on your work items, the processing of which benefits the business.

If everyone is in a suit, there can be no games to out-dress the rest of the playing field. The only differentiator is the price of the suit, and that story-line unfolds neatly along the sub-ordination divides. The CEO wears the most expensive suit.

Being the tech-oriented minion, you can get away with wearing a just-so suit, which is just fine by you as well. Honestly, who wants to fashion-shop for a freaking suit? The suit surely has to be the most drab and boring garment in the history of clothed mankind.
I quit drinking coffee around the end of last summer and replaced it with around a litre of green tea mixed into a shake that consists mostly of oat, nut and seed meal, blueberries, honey, and a few spices which replaces my breakfast entirely. This generally keeps me fed until lunch or after depending on my activity level. I don't miss coffee and the most drastic effect has been an almost complete elimination of heart burn. I do still have the occasional cup of coffee but find my taste for it has waned.

> you disagree that polluted air will within decades encompass the globe.

I'll go with point 3. In some places it will continue to get worse, until either governments change and people can enact change, or the workers suffer so much that the economics make it cheaper to reduce pollution than to let it increase.

But no, it will not "encompass the globe." That's an extreme exaggeration, and your mentioning Australia and Alaska as counter-examples proves it. Are you letting your agenda trample upon your truthfulness? :)
I am interested to hear a bit more about this, as I find it hard to believe. I have only ran it at pretty small scale - x8 servers, around 300 million documents indexed a day, peak index rate 30k docs/sec. I found that you have to monitor it correctly, tune the JVM slightly (Mostly GC), give it fast disks, lots of ram, and the correct architecture (search, index & data nodes) to get the most out of it. Once I did that it was one of the most reliable components of my infrastructure, and still is. I would recommend chatting to people on the elasticsearch irc, or mailinglist, everyone was a great help to me there.
I'm young and averaged 3-4 cups a day, along with 3-4 large glasses (500ml) of water every day for the last 2-3 years or so. I decided to give up coffee at the start of march, but found it quite difficult. I had none of the "common" symptoms (headaches, tiredness, etc) - but I found it difficult to get over not having a cup in my hand. I swapped it out with decaf coffee (which has more caffeine in it than I thought) and have been much happier with my temperment and general energy levels.
That's not correct. Spreads before the crisis were at records lows and asset managers had to buy credit they would have preferred not to in order to get a little bit of value. This is really what fuelled the whole subprime story.

The problem is I drink coffee for the taste. If there was decaf without the bad aftertaste, I'd give up caffeine immediately.
I really recommend anyone who drinks black coffee try brewing their own loose leaf tea - greens, blacks, oolong, yerba matte.
Start with distilled water and add honey to taste, maybe even hemp milk (very creamy, nutty flavor, and omegas!)

Matcha is great and quick also!
That is nice in theory, in practice many, many users are stupid (for the lack of a better word) and the bugs they report are exactly how the program is supposed to run, or caused by things that we cannot reasonably deal with, typically client computers that are too underpowered and have too much adware installed.
Well for me personally, it offers the advantage that it's available. I don't have an RSS reader and I don't intend to get one. I am trying hard enough to maintain a low information diet as it is, but there are a few newsletters that I allow myself.

I love the black background in full screen feature a lot. I have actually wanted to write this (trivial)tool myself. I do not like others (around me) to read my blog posts or emails before I finish writing them. And this is perfect for getting the initial draft to work with. I usually am distracted by what I'd already written before I finish writing what I wanted to write. This tool helps me not do the root of all evil.

Now the black background in full screen thing seems like a bug to some of you. I think it was unintended too (given the name - aquietplace). But it's definitely a useful feature.

>This is a case of “works on my machine.”

Nope, I even have had a couple of issues (wifi related) which were solved in .2 update. But I also know that I had this or that issue everytime since 10.2 when I started using the OS. I also know I had tons of issues in Linux (been using it since 1997) and Windows (since 3.1), and I'm also a programmer, so I don't have BS expectations from something as huge as a complete OS and apps distro.

So, it's mostly a case of "have been following this space since 2002, including reading most forums, trade mags and blogs, so have a feel for what people compain about."

>There are serious[1] documented[2] issues[3] with Yosemite[4] that were not there in the previous OS X release, and, after multiple point updates still haven not been fixed.

Nothing special about those issues you posted. I post below a list of issues for Mavericks (tried to find similar or even the same). I can find for you similar items even down to 10.2, including lamenting articles about "buggiest release ever", etc.

As for the "and after multiple point updates still haven not been fixed", first we're at 10.9.3. So multiple is just 3 releases. Usually we get up to 7 or 8. And some even carry over or get fixed in the next version, especially if they don't affect many people.

And before dismissing "works for me" casually because of some issues online, note that with a user base in the 100s of millions, even a bug affecting 0.1% (with some weirdo network setup, bad HD sectors, broken hardware, haxies etc), it will still be reported by tens of thousands and appear bigger than it is.

2L of green tea can have as much caffeine as 1L of coffee, although exact amounts can vary massively depending on various brewing methods for each and the exact coffee or tea.
Linux kernel alone comes in at 15m SLOC. Now add an userland subsystem and you're at 20-30M just for one device.

Multiply by all the little and big subsystems, the embedded chips, in-flight entertainment, network gear... 100m SLOC is too low, I think.
I have never consumed coffee on a regular basis. I like working out of cafes (I'm a nomad and working from my hostel room is drab too often a week), so I often resort to Hot Chocolate or a tea. Sometimes these are overpriced so I end up going with coffee, but I have about one cup every 2-3 months I would say.

If you find yourself having to drink coffee a lot outside of a cafe, it may not even be a caffeine addiction. I think for a lot of people it's just the feel and action of a coffee cup, something to do with your hands when you're stuck on that bug or waiting for your code to build/program to launch. I think a mug of hot water is great in these circumstances. Hot water is also great for digestion, keeps your mouth (and digestive tract) clean, is pretty much free, and keeps you warm just as well as anything else in a cold room.

It's a habit I picked up because my mom used to make me drink a big glass of hot water after I had icecream growing up, and I continued to do that after cold foods even after leaving home. I can't recommend hot water enough.

I love coffee. I love drinking it and I love the effects it has. I love the feeling of a waking up with a nice hot cuppa every morning as I read the news. I love getting a cup in the afternoon after lunch. I love making coffee for my wife, and I love when she offers to make me a cup when she makes herself a cup. I love coffee even though since I started lifting weights and eating well, I don't really need it.
