Actually I work much better with Coffee, Salary and NO internet. Because I'm bound to spontaneously go research the intricate details of some completely unrelated bullshit if I have access to the internet
You know those links on the right sidebar of stack overflow? Those things are evil, yet awesome.
"Oh neat you can directly call operators in R? Oh wait, these functions are actually lambda's then. Wait, I can delay their execution too? Hang on... is R actually Lisp? "
Poor man's fully funded training.
Fuck coffee, swap that with food or just water or something, then it's right for me.
Yeah I don't get it either… Everybody at the office seems addicted to coffee and I just am there for the social ritual but almost never drink it when wfh
actually, i believe the top two should be switched.
at least that is what my perception is of people who drink coffee vs people who don't drink coffee.
but it does make sense in the sense that the pictures represent someone who is already addicted to coffee, which feels like must be a majority of programmers hahaha
Coffee seems to be a self enforcing meme at this point. It's not unhealthy enough to have suffered the same fate as cigarettes. Which had pretty much the same jokes not too long ago.
Really? How long are we talking?
Seems like Cafestol (the oil in unfiltered & french press coffee) rises cholesterol level. On the other hand, coffeine might trigger the mTOR mechanism in cells (starving does that usually), leading to cells cleaning better up, lowering oxidans levels, potentially raising life expectancy. Other studies say, coffeine induces apoptosis (programmed cell death) with the same mechanism. Apparently a mixed bag.
But wasn't there a study lastly, that the stimulating effect only works if you don't drink coffee regularly, while if you do and don't drink coffe, you get withdrawal symptoms, like having no energy, needing a coffee.
Did i miss anything?
For me, that (and reading about the ecological footprint of drinking coffee) lead to drinking barley coffee/tea regularly. And a coffee if i really need one.
I'm glad the team who programmed the early Internet had the Internet, otherwise we wouldn't have any Internet.
bootstrapping problem.
From what I've heard they really did have lots and lots of books like in the comic. And were jealous of colleagues that had even more.
Before the books, the world of computing was small enough you probably picked stuff up by having a personal relationship with the other people using that specific mainframe, and the vendor of the mainframe. Before that, you were on the team that build the experimental electronic computer for your institution anyway. And then there's Conrad Zeus, I guess.
