Running is not training. Running is a stimulus; training is the response of the body to the stimulus. You want to come up with an ideal set of stimuli to create an efficient training response.

Outside of a goal race, you shouldn't suffer when you run, especially 'a lot'. You are tearing down muscles and training energy systems that are inefficient.

Slow down. Walk. Fragment runs into multiple runs. Run doubles. You'll get faster, faster. Add volume at your new, sane pace and new, sane volume up to 40-60 miles/week.

Once you've achieved the slow end of 'adult fast', say sub-20m/40m/90m for 5k/10k/half, you can revisit suffering during training. You still probably shouldn't.

Of course if you want/like to suffer or can only run 4 times a week at peak heat during a Georgia summer then all of this is out the window.

This is explicitly called out and handled in lines 151-155.

Here's the comment:

  /* Even exiting has subtleties.  On exit, if any writes failed, change
     the exit status.  The /dev/full device on GNU/Linux can be used for
     testing; for instance, hello >/dev/full should exit unsuccessfully.
     This is implemented in the Gnulib module "closeout".  */

The redirect to a $LARGE_COMPANY/process is best understood as what everyone who does not have $THE_WIRE/suction deals with to get anything done. No one that matters at a $LARGE_COMPANY is impeded by the process unless they want to be impeded by the process. (eg: delaying tactic, turf war!, pass for political reasons, don't think it matters and so can't be bothered, think that the request is wrong for reasons, and so on.)

Large companies view your day-to-day activities through a very different lens than a startup, and they want you to use a very different lens as well, and you'd need to get the right combination of manager and mentor and team and teammates and yourself to get the payoff.

I'd roll into another startup; since you haven't, I'd assume you have reasons for not rolling into another startup, but it's getting kind of abstract at this point.

Clausewitz / On War: 1832. All military thought until today can not be read without first reading Clausewitz to understand to what the author is responding. It's like LISP, but for the military, and in an alternate reality where if every single PFC knew LISP.

Consider Clausewitz / On War. Planning and executing an engagement is tactics, coordinating engagements to further the objective of the war is strategy. In modern military thought, a domestic rebellion would be one of a series of engagements in a war. Why was this war game executed / considered in such a stripped down context?

Can you name a CEO that passes that bar?

Sure. But you've got to score folks some way or another; and one way that sounds fair is if your value system results in humans landing on the moon.

If you critique everyone that way, then you've got at least two very opposed value systems to talk about today.

Really. No traps here. Close your eyes, imagine the voices. But fame, so really /loud/ voices.

The environment is unimaginably stressful. Close your eyes for a moment, and imagine the voices.

It's possible tomorrow that he wakes up, and gets on with it. It being: well, he's pretty much defined what it is over the past 10+ years. It's humbling and exciting. He is the best of us. I hope that happens.

I do not believe that game exists. There’s too much embedded knowledge w/r/t playing video games. I am happy to be proven wrong; did you have an example in mind?

Panzanella can be tuned to the triple point soup=salad=sandwich.

Ada Palmer / Too Like the Lightning is fantastic. The ideas are breathtaking, the characters are fascinating, and as the plot and the world is revealed, you can’t help but be in awe of the author’s storytelling.

"If you can do burst runs of 15 km/hour, that doesn’t mean you can run a three hour marathon."

Once you're in 3 hour marathon territory, what you can do for 1 mile is a lot more relevant to what you can do for 26.2 miles than you might think. One of the tent poles of effective marathon/half marathon training is to make your race pace into a drumbeat. You want to feel your race pace in your bones. Very effective workouts look like: take your marathon race pace, and run 5 minutes easy/5 minutes hard (~race pace) for 60, or 10 easy/10 hard for 80.

Tesla is talking about burst builds that last for a week. That sounds like very effective training that will prepare them for race day.
