Depends on who you are and how much you run. If you're running 50 miles a week, a slow marathon here and there would probably not hurt you too much. I know a guy who used to run a marathon every weekend through the whole season, but I

Thanks for posting this - I spent most of today kicking around idea of an instapaper-style webpage parser, and came to the conclusion that I probably didn't have time to do it well.

That headline from The Hill seems a bit disingenuous. The full quote was: > “I do think that a system that allows billionaires to exist when there are parts of Alabama where people are still getting ringworm because they don’t have acces

Absolutely! You can put a hamster wheel in a field, and wild animals will use it for fun. The 24-hour record for a wild mouse is 19 miles! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamster_wheel

I have always felt that this is a myth or misconception. Humans probably evolved as distance-running specialists [1] so it would be pretty strange if our knees were some sort of exhaustible resource as seems to be the popular idea. If peopl

The problem as I understand it is that while cattle are often raised in such places - grazing on open grass plains which could not support other crops - they are usually transferred to feedlots later in their life, where a significant porti

Genuine question - because I'm currently doing CPR on an old Rails app with Mongo - what do you see as a "good use case" for Rails/Django and similar frameworks?

Does it matter if it's fair? The shuttle was used for ferrying things to space for decades, so it is kind of a relevant comparison.

The UP has some interesting stuff, but living in Ann Arbor, it's a shorter trip just to get on a plane and go to Utah.

Sure. There's an optimal tire pressure for each tire, and the wider the tire, the lower the pressure. The point I was making was that a wide tire at optimal (low) pressure is not significantly slower than a narrow tire at optimal (high

> As we all know, stiffer tires (higher pressure) is faster. We're living in interesting times for this "conventional" wisdom! One school of thought argues that while there might be a theoretical relationship between high

Yeah that has always seemed a bit jumbled to me. It's not clear to me why that point, 33,500 feet below the peak of Mauna Kea, is appropriate to use as a basis of measurement for the mountain. And why not a lower point? And why can tha

It's not just tracability and security that's the issue, though. It's an issue of reproducibility. When I give you a notebook, how do you 'run' it to verify my calculations? You can't just press "run"

I tried i3wm for a while - are you able to compare that to StumpWM? I really like the idea of a tiling wm, but haven't gotten around to customizing it exactly the way I would want it.

I started noticing this very abruptly - that Google no longer redirects me from congested roadways to low-traffic parallel roads. Now, as soon as I take the exit to a less congested road, my estimated drive time might drop by 5-10 minutes,

I did a little bit of this for my masters project. Modeled ecosystems and measurements of the ecosystem as partially observed markov processes.

55555 = 12321 + 43234 + 0 :) And if you don't like that: 55555 = 12321 + 23132 + 20102 Palindromes are sort of the least surprising numbers to have this property because you can easily "split" them into as many palindromes as

I know this isn't for everyone, but I'm just curious - what about cycling? Are the distances large or is it simply a congestion or street layout issue for driving and public transit?

I purchased a Nvidia GTX 1080 video card from some 3rd party seller. The price was a bit lower than MSRP but not by much. It arrived in a high-quality box, and looked good. I was initially suspicious because the video outputs didn't ma

Thank you for the Kanban idea; I love it.
