kogasa, to programmer_humor in Okay, which one of you Java devs did this

I mean IDEA has Java-specific stuff just like PyCharm has Python-specific stuff. As far as I understand, IDEA is just regarded as the default “catch-all” JetBrains IDE because it’s the oldest and most well-known, and probably most closely linked to the IntelliJ platform which spawned from it in the first place.

IntelliJ IDEA isn’t really more generic than PyCharm. It’s a Java IDE built on the generic IntelliJ platform. You can load different language plugins in both.

Never built Firefox from source but Chromium takes way longer than the kernel for me. Like half an hour on a 5800x3D. Bit much for nightly updates.

kogasa, to news in Panera now displaying warning about its caffeinated lemonade in all stores after lawsuit over customer's death

The problem is that 400mg is not that much in the reality at the restaurant where it was purchased.

It’s literally up there with the most amount of caffeine you can get in one item from the restaurant.

Anyway, really boring argument.

You mean the standard Panera cups that you use for everything from water to iced tea? Panera is self-serve.

Yes. These ones. The ones for the charged lemonade.

This really compares favorably to that because typically I get far less warning of an allergen in food than people get of beverages having a little caffeine in them.

This isn’t a little caffeine, this is an uncomfortable amount of caffeine for most people who aren’t regular coffee drinkers. Obviously a dangerous amount for people with heart conditions.

Per the sign: “30fl - 430cal - 390mg caffeine”

It does, and that is below the big ad-line about how it’s “as much caffeine as our Dark Roast Coffee”.

On the cups. The thing that people actually put up to their face and drink. There’s a billion reasons why you wouldn’t see the sign on the dispenser.

The real problem here is that they were REALLY pushing the caffeinated nature of the lemonade as a value-add, so it was (nearly?) impossible to miss.

It’s not even close to impossible to miss. It’s really quite easy.

200mg is about as much as a cup of coffee if you drink your coffee in a big mug, like many people do. Obviously not a “standard” 8oz cup (but who drinks 8oz cups of coffee?) But 4 of those is too much, even if you’re the kind of person for whom it’s tolerable.

It does have 390mg large on the machines, but it’s easy to miss. I do think it should be way bigger and have way more contrast, preferably a black/white standardized sticker. It doesn’t have the mg amount on the cups, or if it does, it’s really easy to miss.

kogasa, to linux in Linux Kernel 6.6 Officially Released, This Is What's New
@kogasa@programming.dev avatar

I was quite surprised that they introduced a new scheduler and replaced CFS with it in the same step. I would have expected it to become available, then default, then replace CFS. But I guess this should be interpreted as indicating they have tested it extensively already, with very low chance of significant regressions.

“As much as our dark roast coffee” isn’t an absolute value, but I think there really should be a sticker saying “Warning: high caffeine content / approx (x mg small) (y mg med) (390mg large)”. This sticker should appear clearly next to the menu items as well as on the cups. Self-serve stations should probably be removed since kids are vastly more likely to drink a ton of lemonade compared to hot, black coffee.

I drank a few of these not sure if it was “as much as a regular coffee” or “as much as an equivalent size.” I didn’t think twice because I take a lot of caffeine anyway, but I shouldn’t have had to google it.

I can see how depending on the circumstances of obtaining the drink, one might not know there is caffeine in it at all:

  • ordering from a third party online app that doesn’t have all the right names, descriptions, and pictures
  • ordering through a third party proxy or having the item described to you by a third party (“anyone want anything? They have lemonade…”)

There really should be a clear notice right on the thing you’re about to drink from, of exactly how much caffeine is in it. No marketing crap (“it’s charged!”) or vague comparisons (“as much as our coffee”) suffices.

Coffee drinkers drink several times more caffeine on average than energy drink drinkers. A large coffee from Panera has over 400mg caffeine.

I take caffeine pills to regulate my dose (400mg / day, no more or less) and can’t take pills without chewing em. Pure caffeine tastes like giga-bitter dogshit. Nom nom.

It’s not flavorless, it’s bitter. You just can’t taste it over the pound of sugar.

It’s not a lie. 30oz of the lemonade has as much caffeine as 30oz of their dark roast coffee. That’s a lot of coffee.

Oh, blur+sharpen to mitigate Nightshade makes sense, yeah.
