My gf has a migraine head and she’s tried going decaf but it just doesn’t work. Apparently caffeine does a lot to reduce the risk of migraines? So I’d probably just try to lower the dose until you find what works for you.

I went to the US recently and was fully prepared to drink caffeine on the trip because of all the cool coffee shops and roasters. But I was amazed that decaf was basically a first-class citizen there. The hotel breakfast had one giant brewe

I’ve switched to decaf full time and a my generalised anxiety basically went away. I love coffee and still drink it ritualistically. I probably drink more coffee now, at all hours of the day (caffeinated coffee after 12 really messed my sle

My (swedish) grandfather keeps falling for these Meta scams. Scrolling through his feed is insane and disgusting. So many ads that mimick OS alerts saying storage is low, insane amounts of AI crap and fake products. I 100% agree with this.

Is this still a thing in Swift? I loved Swift 1, spent a couple of days upgrading to Swift 2, a week or more for Swift 3. At that point I just switched to React Native. I understand that iterating is generally a good thing, but the constant

I don’t remember the onboarding (ironically :) but once you get in the UX is really nice and perfect for what it does. Maybe it won’t win Apple design awards, but I’m just here for the content.

This app does a terrific job of teaching memory palaces. Ironically it’s made by the guy in the background of the article image. https://memoryos.com/

As the owner of an RSS reader I love that they are making this more public. 30% of our support requests are ”my feed doesn’t” work. It sucks that the only thing we can say is ”contact the site owner, it’s their firewall”. And to be fair it’

Astra is barely holding on by a thread though. Their main hope of survival is their hall-effect propulsion engines.

Yes, I'm pretty sure because: 1. Compiled with jyjit confrmed (ruby --yjit) returns the correct value 2. RubyVM::YJIT.enabled? returned true I didn't notice any improvements at basically so I can't really say _for sure_ if it

I'm pretty sure (there isn't a lot of info on how to enable it in production workloads) we're running YJIT in production and didn't notice any improvement in load times, CPU usage or anything really. If any slightly high

As someone working on a massive migration from MV2 to MV3 (where the benefit to the user will be minimal) it does feel like browser makers are waging war against us extension developers. Mozilla's plan is to release a slightly compatib

Yes, and if the data isn’t secret the number of things you can do with this data is limited. It’s like security by obscurity in reverse.

And it is. Newspapers do this all the time. "These people earn the most in your neighbourhood!" "These people earned the most in Sweden!" "This 1 27 year old earned THIS MUCH... And nobody knows who he is!"

As a Swede I love this openness. It puts everyone on an a level playing field and makes it much less dramatic and reduces the value of the data.

After a crappy first-adopter experience with Nothing Ear(1) I realised why you don’t want to be a first adopter. If it is legitimately better it will still be worth getting in 6 months when the crazy initial bugs are ironed out.

Absolutely agree! Never put a company on a pedestal! But IIRC Linode has had a long history of decreasing prices by adding better specs to existing plans, not sure how that will change with their acquisition. Just keep in mind to build port

Looking at their ever increasing pricing, no, I wouldn't say so. Linode is so far staying true to their promise of individual developer focused cloud.

I'm really glad we've started to move to another cloud (OVH). DigitalOcean has been upping their prices consistently for years now. It used to be an affordable, good looking, easy to use cloud. Now it's just good looking and
