I don’t know how long it will take googles stock to crater but surely it must. My usage has dropped 98% or more.

Readit NewsBasically, caffeine is bad for sleep (learning and recovery) if taken late enough and significant amounts remain in your system at bedtime. It does note that even having a coffee first thing in the morning does have a measurable effect on deep sleep brain waves. Fast metabolizers of caffeine might be different. Don't drink coffee in the afternoon is probably the take away for most people
I am a massive caffeine drinker. Like many of us, I monitor my sleep religiously so I have an anecdote. Late afternoon espresso or hot coffee is usually quite sleep effecting.
However - I have found that cold brew does not bother my sleep! At least the brand that I drink. Very strange, but awesome. Cold brew does not have the acidity of hot coffee which is a double bonus if you get acid reflux at night from poor eating or drinking habits. Give it a whirl.

I've spent a lot of time in NOLA over the past 5 years as I have some investments here. The quality/price of housing and quality of life in the Uptown and Audubon Park areas is fantastic. I'm very surprised more remote engineers/workers haven't discovered it. Yes, hurricanes are a thing.
I would consider raising a family in those areas as well. Beautiful and walkable.
I live here part time now. I tell people New Orleans is a different country - has to be experienced.

Here's a heretical thought: Remote hiring is a massive achilles heel.
I've been duped simply by hiring a great engineering candidate who then farmed out the actual work to remote workers in Pakistan and India. We caught on fairly quickly thanks to one of them forgetting to login to one of our backend systems via vpn a few times. No idea how many companies he was "working for" but I'd bet we were one of many.
Remote work has amazing upsides and tremendous security implications.

I'm reading a lot of complaints here but let's recognize some interesting aspects that Sahil is talking about: 1. It's the 5th largest rails codebase open to AI ingestion. 2. They are offering bounties for issues. Not large bounties but whatever, it's something.
I personally like rails and would love to see AI tools improve with it. No idea if this code base will really help that, and when but it can't hurt. In my experience I can get next apps up in a jiffy but rails is much more of a struggle. If anyone has any tips here, please post.
I'm always curious about how well bounties work especially now in an AI age. I wonder what the arbitrage on AI spend vs. bounty will be for people that take a run at them.

Saw this gem of a gem on reddit earlier today and there were some trollish comments about no one using ruby anymore blah blah blah which quietly bummed me out. Surprised and Delighted to see it as #1 here on HN tonight!

I'm in my mid-40s and have severe ADHD and I've tried many many techniques and systems over the years. Over the last ~15 years I've come to evolve a set of systems that work for me.
I'm starting (in my "ample free time") to document them and in a series blog posts help people find systems that will work for them. My experience is that the best systems are the ones that have five characteristics:
1. They're simple
No complex patterns, no "we'll solve everything"
2. They require little or no task switching in the middle
This breaks my ADHD concentration.
3. They're forgiving if you fall off the wagon
You will always have bad days and need to restart. The system must make it easy.
4. The system must be very general, maybe even "too simple" but easy to customize.
There is a natural desire, especially in ADHD people, to over complicate, so the system must allow you to be as simple as possible, but then let you customize later.
5. They don't require any specialized tool (especially not an online tool). No system should be invariably tied to a specific piece of software or hardware. These may be excellent augmentations, but they should never be requirements.
Am I an "organized" person? No, but I'm far better organized than I was. Tasks rarely get missed now. I'm far more productive than I was (and I have stats to back up my assertion). I can almost always retrieve documents I need relatively quickly.
These systems won't change who you are, but they will assist you in being better at being who you are.
I implemented Johnny Decimal about 5 years ago in Google Drive. The cool thing about it is it's just always there. It's pretty much set and forget it.
I'll forget about it (because ADHD?) and when I open up drive, there it is! :). And I'll use it.
It's a small investment upfront.

What’s the current state of the art in 3d printers willing to spend 1k+. Is there an authoritative site for hardware?
That said, they lost a $250,000 incoming wire critical to my business and I couldn't get a hold of anyone until I started tweeting about it a week later and the CEO responded. The money showed up with no explanation, ever. We stopped using them for critical money flows after that.
