All the fraudsters will nail the honest ones before they know what hit them.

On: The case against caffeine

[bluecheese452]

I quit cold turkey and had bad headaches. What helped for me was having a decaf coffee. Just one would make the headaches go away. So the jump from say 300 mg to 10mg of caffeine was somehow much better than 300 to 0.

Just commenting to say I have the same experience.

Same here.

On: The case against caffeine

[bluecheese452]

I love coffee, but too much and I get anxiety. Always drink it black, never any sugar/milk/cream.

He could probably already lift that but was smart enough not to get hurt.

[namaria → 6510]

No I'm just very skinny. But in a sense also yeah I think I could have pulled that off without much training but yeah I'd get hurt.

Small time investors have zero say. Large investors are in the same social class as the ceo and scratch each others backs.

On: Ask HN: With all the layoffs – how are you?

[bluecheese452]

Did he say it was? He is just sharing his experience.

[gaws → bluecheese452]

It's implied

On: Ruby's exceptional creatures

[bluecheese452]

I think Ruby is polarizing. It is the only language I have used that I feel a genuine dislike for. Other people I have talked to feel the same. Then there is a group who loves it.

[vidarh → bluecheese452]

For me that language is Python (well, and x86 assembler). Python just feels fundamentally inelegant and messy to me, in a way that makes it tedious to read and write. I'll work on it if I must, but thankfully I rarely must.

[cutler → vidarh]

Agreed. Python is the VHS of programming languages.

On: Michigan comp sci major sent 456 internship applic...

[bluecheese452]

Only? I have heard of plenty of people not getting 1 internship offer after 1000 applications.

On: How loyalty died in the American workplace

[bluecheese452]

If I say I will provide engineering services and I turn out to be a shitty worker who sits there doing nothing this is not “theft”. This is being a shitty worker. It is up to the company to fire you if they believe this to be the case.
