growing up i remember experiencing sonic booms a handful of times. i never heard or saw the plane, it would just be the sound and feeling of the boom.

how much memory does the dev kit have? it’s not clear after following links off that article.

um, have you tried to export all your raw data from garmin? i have 15 years of logged data, and that dump does not include any fit/gpx/tcx files. it was 196 json files (228mb) which are just high-level summaries. using one of the hacky third-party export libraries, i was able to get the actual fit files (5708 files, 373mb). even that has missing files, empty files, and duplicates. very frustrating.

the lesson i learned is you can't just expect these exports from any online services to be complete or what you expect. i highly recommend going through an export of anything you depend on and see if it has what you expect.

another to add to the list is high-altitude modifications. using mark bittman’s guidelines ingredients and temperatures become a function of altitude. recently i’ve been using llms to make the modifications for me.

whoa, this links to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unusual_deaths, and there are some crazy deaths. one that stands out is Kurt Gödel: "The Austrian-American logician and mathematician developed an obsessive fear of being poisoned and refused to eat food prepared by anyone but his wife. When she became ill and was hospitalized, he starved to death."

magnet's keybindings for me are the best defaults—they are very intuitive, and don't conflict with emacs. rectangle is an alternative i've tried, but magnet is the one for me.

what's interesting is at the library of congress it looks like it's using the wayback machine (similar ui), but the internet archive has excluded it from their results. also, the library of congress version is not very complete. it only goes back a few pages, and most of the specific announcement pages (all?) don't work.

the last line makes me laugh.. while it's true grid layouts make things so much easier then back in the 2000s, web dev today is still just as hard, but for different reasons.

The railwaycat build is the only version of Emacs I've found to work with Magnet (https://magnet.crowdcafe.com).

There’s another famous 14, but at 14k feet, the Nolans 14 in Colorado: http://mattmahoney.net/nolans14/

You mean “Greenspun's tenth rule”

Here's a video of Ted Nelson describing the idea: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n22A-Say7do

It was fun to see this develop into a real app. Lots of cool low poly models have been created with this.

Sure it happens, but it is extremely uncommon.

Looks like they're trying to make a point about an issue they posted.. https://github.com/facebook/react/issues/16316

That still doesn't fix the ad situation. There's still stuff that goes on at the JS level that a browser ad blocker catches, but a DNS blocker won't. That's been my experience after installing Pihole on the home network.

How is it a 35 year old vulnerability? ssh and friends have only been around for 25.

Just because Facebook and Twitter don't do it, then it's not important? Just because hamburgers are the most consumed food in the western world, we don't need restaurants that practice fine cuisine?

I don't think people are aware of the subtitles of typography, so it's nice to see articles like this.

True, tight hamstrings are a contributing factor, but not the sole reason for IT band issues. If rolling out your IT band is a painful experience, it's an indication that you're improperly loading your legs when running—it's a form issue.

Tight IT band is an indication of bad form.

It really hurt initially but it only took about 3 months to get back to running. It took years, though, to really get the form to a point that it wouldn't introduce new injuries. My coach would set a certain volume (weekly mileage) and intensity based on where I was at form-wise, and grew it over time. I went through a number of injuries during this time, but none of them stopped me from running outright. Eventually I gained enough experience to know when I was doing something wrong and how to correct it. Running should never hurt—pain is how your body communicates with you.

In the last couple of years I've learned that it's important to really focus on whole body fitness, not just what's necessary for running. Strength and mobility are key.

How to run..

After I first started running and losing some weight, I became enthusiastic about it. Then with the notions of 'more is better' and 'no pain, no gain', I cranked up the mileage and pushed through the pain. But I learned a hard lesson when I tore a calf muscle.

Since then I've learned that form and technique, consistent and gradually harder practice, and getting expert help are necessary to really learn something. Ten years later, and over 18k miles logged, I can say I know how to run.

Crazy.. I've never seen a satellite flare until a couple of weeks ago. Camping in New Mexico and I decided to sleep out in the open. As I kept waking up in the night worrying about critters, I was watching the stars make their way through the sky. I was surprised at the number of satellites I saw, including one glint which I've never seen before. I had to look up if that was actually a thing.

I was curious if this was true, and asked. The answer I got was http://minnie.tuhs.org/pipermail/tuhs/2018-April/013510.html and it appears that this isn't true.

Specifically the original man page (http://minnie.tuhs.org/cgi-bin/utree.pl?file=V1/man/man1/rm....), dated November, 1971, shows Dennis Ritchie and Ken Thompson as the original authors.

This is what I do. I also will read the Kindle portion of book when I can, only listening to audio when I'm in the car or doing something with my hands. I'm also a heavy user of "skip back 30 secs" (the back button on my truck's steering column does this out of the box). If I find my thoughts wandering, I will skip back to a portion I remember, and listen again. If I find myself skipping back a lot, I'll listen to something else.

In my personal experience, audio has a lower retention rate compared to reading. However, you can train yourself to do better. The benefit is I can listen at 2x, and get a lot books in during my commute.

SigmaVPN doesn't seem to be in active development, plus there's no documentation.

A talk was given at the last CCC about free electron lasers, and in it the speaker talks about using diffraction to image chemical reactions. It's great watch.

But that's not a bad thing.. fg it back. ^z is my preference for tmux too.

Based on a few trips to the Pawnee Grasslands this summer, I can say that lightpollutionmap represents the state of the night sky better than darksitefinder.
