IIRC it takes about 30ish minutes for caffeine to "kick in". So if you have a bit, then take a nap, it can give you a nice 20ish minute power nap, then naturally wake you up so you don't feel groggy. The key is to be able to fall asleep quickly enough to have a decent power nap before it kicks in.

So we meet at diefenbunker.ca? Sounds like a plan! 🍁

What makes you think that? I'm curious. I would've assumed something like Inuktitut (1 word conveys subject verb object tense ...) or something like toki pona (removes unused information) or maybe a highly analytical language like one of the Chinese languages.

Interesting that Canada wasn't included (at about 20%). Wonder how/why they picked those countries.

Thank you. Clear, easily understood explanations of questions I always wondered. 👍🏼

Whenever I see this image I always wonder 2 things:

1. What makes hemoglobin more efficient?
2. Why do we even need these fancy molecules to transport oxygen? Can't we produce some kind of biological ampule that holds some pure O2 for consumption by the various processes that need it? We have dedicated organelle structures for similar tasks (i.e. mitochondria)

Apparently it's not even really all that stable, so that whole container would rapidly decompose into probably carbon dioxide (CO2) and a bunch of pure carbon (think charcoal). At least that's my hunch. There is a Wikipedia article on the stuff, but it's pretty short, since it's a pretty unusual chemical (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dicarbon_monoxide ).

CO2 is of course extremely common. I'd love to see what a chemist can describe about a bottle of C2O though!

I'm in the rare group of: tastes soapy, but I like it. I blame thrills gum.

Ada, hands down. Every time I go to learn Rust I'm disappointed by the lack of safety. I get that it's miles ahead of C++, but that's not much. I get that it strikes a much better balance than Ada (it's not too hard to get it to compile) but it still leaves a lot to be desired in terms of safe interfacing. Plus it's memory model is more complicated than it needs to be (though Ada's secondary stack takes some getting used to).

I wonder if any other Ada devs have experience with rust and can make a better comparison?

First time trying it out. Got a bit lucky.

EDIT: just realized I did the wrong date! sorry. still, thanks for showing me a new daily puzzle. :)

I think a few months was the time until he signed I love you, we don't know how much longer it took before she get the implant.

I use fslint myself. Basically a linter for files :)
