Right. I run 5 days a week, but I don't attend to performance enough to be really aware of any difference there. I suspect differences due to caffeine, if any, would be swamped by the already pretty significant day to day variations. B

I've never experienced a withdrawal headache. Though thinking about it the only headaches I've ever had have been the result of hangovers, so maybe I'm just not prone to headaches in general.

I'm strictly strong espresso/macchiato, self-ground fresh beans, and drink 3 or 4 doubles most mornings. Last time I stopped was for 6 weeks mid last year as an experiment. No effects whatsoever that I could discern. Nothing you&#

Coffee has no subjective effect on my energy or arousal or alertness. I just really enjoy the taste and aroma. Every year or two I wonder if I'm getting addicted or inured to caffeine's effects, so take a few experimental weeks of

As a frequent js/ts avoider currently using deno and deno deploy for a few bits and pieces, I've found both truly pleasant to use. My needs are simple (cut to fit my js ecosystem ignorance) but given those limits, the only problem

Yes me too. The developers have done a great job of keeping it focused. It being a side project probably makes that easier (no wolf at the door pestering them to make it more profitable). FWIW if you're interested I have a little comma

I've been a paying user of Checkvist for years. It's a a pleasing rarity in the contemporary web software world - a simple useful and reliable keyboard-driven tool with little hype and no world-conquering aspirations. It improves

Fair enough, cheers. I've been keeping notes on and off. I may be able to turn them to use at some point.

I wish they (and all repo caretakers) would do this more often. Each comment notifies every person who subscribes to an issue, and if that comment adds nothing other than an information-free expression of feels that no-one other than the fe

No I was half-listening and think it was mentioned in a loose way, and I think I'm conflating it with some other mention in a different recent podcast so that's more than a few levels of looseness. I've just scrubbed back th

I wish extreme Rust solipsists would stop blankly stating as a fact that working in Rust is 'easy' just because they find it so. If you do, good for you, but your experience is not universal. Many don't. I find Rust extremel

I've fantasised idly for some years over building an editor around something very like the AST Mode, so I'm looking forward to trying this out.

Could you expand on why, and what you used? I'm looking into a multiplatform app myself, and I've considered egui and iced, but am leaning towards Tauri. I'll definitely be sticking with Rust (this is a front end for a Rust l

As others have written, it can. Dart/Flutter is clearly further along. The main non-technical reason for this is that Flutter is the single blessed UI toolkit for Dart, whereas Rust instead relies on the creative chaos of multiple comp

Have you actually read any climate science, as opposed to political prattle about climate? Do you really think climate change is intangible? Serious, detailed, empirical work done by tens of thousands of scientists, converging across 10s of

Turn the HN angry mob mode off Funny how, to the rich and powerful, any amongst the lower orders who dare to ask questions are always an 'angry mob'. We’re all in this together That would have been nice. Too late.

However, the elephant in the room (which I also like to ignore as a Clojure enthusiast) is that the start up time of a Java based GUI app is too slow (this is exacerbated even moreso when Clojure is involved) I'm expecting a GraalVM
