You need to get out more. I totally get that you would think that’s the case, but only if you’re not exploring parts of the internet outside your bubble. It’s absolutely written.

I think their normal intake was 4 or 5 coffees. I’d expect to feel **something ** cutting down from that to 0. Maybe the decaf placebo really worked for them, most days?

Maybe? I was surprised to hear James saying he hadn’t had any caffeine on multiple days.

One coffee a day? Those are rookie numbers!

Joking aside, that could mean there’s already significant variance in their intake.

You could maybe work this out from a meta analysis of the studies about caffeine and focusing, where the control group is actually just in withdrawal.

I was surprised by the lack of correlation between caffeine intake and sleep quality, but the takeaway, for me, is that if they were specifically looking into that, they’d need to control for other factors. And n=5 is pretty small.

Interesting stuff.

People deleted the content they had access to. As protesting subreddits went back to being public, the content they hadn’t been able to delete became visible again.

Sure, but also the broader “join my Patreon to get access to my Discord server” market. It’s actually a pretty clever move, if there’s a market for it (there is) and if it replaces more insidious revenue streams (it won’t).

I’m playing Dishonored these days. It was highly recommended after I said I was loving Prey.

Is it OK if I’m not loving it? Hahaha.

The no kill limitation was really shoe-horned in there, so I think I’ll only really have fun on the second playthrough. Shame.

Prey limits you quite a bit for the good ending, but it’s still complex, broad and fun.

[feverishly applauds]

Looks perfect to me!

It’s a very different vibe. I remember my first seg fault in C - kids days are missing out!

The cool thing to do now is to write it in Rust, only using the standard library.

[checks personal website]

Yes, shame on them!

Measure once, cut 38 times.

Chances are, right? At least it’s the first thing I’d check.

I’m pretty happy I never got around to RMAing my Zotac graphics card for its whiny fan.

Steve mentions “server configuration,” but I can’t even imagine what that would be.

Yes! Hahaha, it’s so good.

Number 2 needs to flick the little switch on the SD card.

[flashbacks to the backlog being wiped out because “the client already signed off on the release”]

Wasn’t there a story about people calling curl devs because of car issues?

For what it’s worth, I’m sure the SQLite devs could help somebody clean up their temp files. They just really shouldn’t have to.

I think we’re fully in agreement here: if the API doesn’t specify how to handle null values, that omission means they’re perfectly valid and expected.

Imagine a delivery company’s van exploding if somebody attempts to ship an empty box. That would be a very poorly built van.
