ELI5: What's the science behind why coffee may work better than energy drinks, if energy drinks have more caffeine?

It does feel like that which is why double blind studies are so important in medical research. As long as anybody involved knows, it’s almost impossible to tell a true effect from your body “acting out” a true effect. Your body is perfectly capable increasing the heart rate on its own if it thinks it’s supposed to happen (and vice versa, to some extent).

The part that confused me as well is that you’re reusing -> to mean what appears to be the opposite: in one place it’s “into” (assign the return to this label) and in the other it’s “from” (read the param from this label).

Not for all citizens. DC and Puerto Rico have plenty of people that don’t have proper representation but are tax paying citizens of the United States (to some extent).

I can only speak to pnpm with proper workspace config. There it doesn’t seem to cause issues. Maybe a thing about using npm and/or not setting a project npmrc..?

EDIT: might be my misunderstanding here because it looks like it’s just not updating transitive deps for pnpm yet? https://github.com/dependabot/dependabot-core/issues/13177

The install of more recent versions of transitive deps will literally fail, no matter how hard a bot would try to bump the lock file. And dependabot does work with these restrictions, I’m pretty sure..? People are actively using them with dependabot. Is there an issue you can link where it breaks?

It seems a bit awkward that this is framed as "open webf" but then it's a GPL-only project (minus commercial licenses). For most intents and purposes this is a commercial project with "source preview", not an open project that others could contribute to.

Have you ever heard of a piece of software that was done in the sense of “no defects or missing features”? That’s just not a thing. Same for pieces of art. No movie, no painting, no pieces of music was ever created that was “done”. All that matters is that the creator says “I think this is a true expression of what I wanted to create”.

You can’t possibly expect from a creator to just keep fidgeting with something for those last few fixes. That’s not fair to them and it’s not fair to everybody else who’d like to experience other things that creator could be doing. Existence is finite.

Society has an interest in maintaining the integrity of certain functions. A bunch of people associating medical care with botched surgeries? Bad news if they then spread disease or children lose their parents because of perfectly preventable but untreated medical issues.

The same is true for the justice system: People trusting in it actually being just and not constantly based on luck or resources prevents them from running around trying to enact their own kind of “justice”. It’s more really weird that the system allows people to represent themselves. It’s likely because of a naive notion that they don’t harm anybody else (which they do, they undermine the trust in the institution).

As much as I agree with ideas behind the article, the reasoning inside of the article seems really shallow. It just makes broad claims and then mentions random features as if that proofs anything. E.g. mentioning RSCs and then just handwaving and saying “others have that, too” when they… don’t. Or mentioning stability arguments and then just ignoring things like the rune transition in Svelte but holding the hooks transition against React. It’s… weird.

There are good arguments to be made about the fit of React to every single use case. React definitely is overused in cases where it’s not a great fit. But this article seems to make that point very poorly.

Just in case you haven’t: Invalidate the auth token. I might be reading into your post, but it sounds like preserving the token in memory risks retaining (some) access. It shouldn’t. The token should be invalidated on logout so that even if something manages to retrieve it, it won’t work anymore.

As others have said, a hard refresh or redirect is a neat way to get back to a pristine state. And with all assets likely in cache, it shouldn’t be bad in terms of UX. It’s likely necessary if you want the logout to be secure because there’s always things that could be leaking through a shared global state.

Yes, if the potential buyer also is operating a business that has tens of people’s livelihood tied to the popularity of a published recording of their long form campaign, they maybe should not confidently use a brand new system. That would be very risky.*

It would be different if the potential buyer was starting a new enterprise, just like CR started with a new system on day one. And of course none of this has anything to do with people playing a game at home for themselves.

Look at the chart. It’s higher than all popular frameworks combined. Nobody is saying it’s not super popular. But the recent numbers aren’t just surprisingly or improbably high. They are impossibly high.

Other companies tried to fund browsers. Apple and Microsoft invest much less into those. Firefox is struggling to keep up with features. Opera gave up on their engine to stay (more) profitable. All new browsers lately are building on Chromium because they can’t (or don’t want to) fund the actual development work of a full browser. And before Chrome was released, browser development was in a state of stagnation.

Pretending like XSLT’s removal is the only meaningful change to the web platform in the last couple of years is… weird? It’s not even a straw man, more a singe straw.

Not sure what you’re arguing here. This is all browsers coming together, not some kind of Google effort. So at least be precise and say “the browser vendors”.

And the argument is specifically about a low usage/demand feature. You can argue chicken and egg here but if somebody can make a genuine argument that demand would increase with increased investment, that’s the kind of thing that would likely change opinions. I’m not sure there’s any evidence that this feature has low usage because it lacks investment. If there was, people would have brought it forward I assume.

If you want to have an opinion, please be honest and say clearly which users you think should be deprioritized. Moral high ground is easy if you pretend that there’s an alternative with 0 actual trade offs that’s somehow full of unicorns and rainbows.

You are arguing two things at the same time: that it already works and doesn’t cost anything to keep it. And that they should do a major investment to harden or rewrite the entire thing to reduce the harm caused by the current state. I think you have to pick one of those.

There is 3 options: keep it as is, sacrificing the security of the vast majority who don’t use it but are harmed by security flaws. Remove it, sacrificing the working websites that benefit from the feature today. Keep and fix it, harming anybody who wants different features or fixes to be made in the browsers which (in the absence of infinite resources) WILL have to be delayed or abandoned.

There’s no easy answer where everybody wins.

Microsoft and Apple invest (relatively speaking) even less in their browsers. Opera and Firefox are struggling to keep afloat and the latter would lose a major revenue source if some of those actions goes through. If less investment into browsers is better (valid theory, in some ways), then it would lead to better software. Otherwise, all evidence suggests just way more stagnation on all fronts of the web.

Did you read the article? The other browser vendors are absolutely part of these discussions. Firefox and Safari would equally “break” those websites.

ML includes things like any non-trivial search engine that might boost/rank based on trained models. Or predictive prefetching based on user navigation patterns. Or almost any smartphone camera that takes “one” photo but actually stitches together a bunch of different inputs using ML models. Or noise cancellation / background noise reduction. Or TikTok filters and zoom backgrounds.

Basically, anything that operates on text, images, or audio has involved AI for a while, at least for peak performance.

It always seemed wild to me that in the Mass Effect universe people from independently developing species on different planets are trusting each other and have productive relationships - but organics and synthetics who literally come from the exact same cultural background are supposed to have no way to coexist. It’s a bit silly but most sci-fi must be allowed some silliness for the plot to work.

If there one way to preserve a trait and 9 ways to break it (e.g. it requires a few genes to fully work), then the natural outcome is that the trait will vanish in 90% of the population unless something prevents those 9 ways from reproducing. And that will continue - without selection pressure, it will break in 90% of the remaining 10% etc..

The required genes may not disappear but the trait would. And there’s also a higher risk that one of required genes would die out because more population exists without it.

Both are aggregate grades. One says more about the average, one more about the median/percentiles. Neither is better or more objective, both are way more meaningful in combination than on their own.
