Thank you for your comment about identity. Was it something I wanted or did it sneak up on me? The 1000+ days behind me means something. And many days it is what pushes me through. It would be nice if I could find a ramp down scheme, but th

My flus were probably covids, I think it tends to bounce around in the population in the post covid days while loosing strength. I have one really bad case if flu 20 years ago. Maybe I'll have to give up my streak then. It will be a bi

Do you tend to avoid household chores or letting the dog out on your resting days?

I am surprised by the emotions in this thread! Where do they come from?

by fifilura 1y ago
When I started out (3y into my streak now), the magic happened in some more or less distinct stages. On week four "I am really doing this". And on week 12 "impossible to stop now". Aim for those and you will be unstoppab

You have to appreciate how short a mile run is. And either way, yeah runstreak is probably not optimal for improving your stamina. I am sure there are more rigorous programs for that.

by fifilura 1y ago
Then I would loose my streak and the magic would disappear. I am not a pro athlete. I think there are many days where athletes go beyond what they should to win some gold medal in some competition. This is for me only and I am fine with it.

It is only a mile and you can run really, really slow. I am also a run-streaker (3 years by now). I am not proud of running when i have the flu. But I run really slow and only the required amount. Effort comparable to going to the store to

It is a reasonable point. But i think it is not exactly that. Having your organisation focus on maintenance is a certain type of opportunity cost. It is pretty often one of your most knowledgeable engineer that does this. And it also interr

> I've always assumed it was intended to be: economies of scale IMO, the value proposition these days is rather to avoid maintenance. I.e. help with up with all the latest patches on your infrastructure.

FWIW, The whole thread was about ditching generic for loops...

Well. History is full of good ideas executed with the wrong timing. I am not convinced that this is not possible, just because a project from the early 2000s failed, and Knuth said it was a bad idea. I am not talking about a general optimiz

I am not familiar with the Itanium story and I don't know who to ask. But it seems to me like this would be a safe space to experiment. With heuristics and pragmas as a fallback. Because with the right approach solutions would mostly b

Let the engine or compiler decide if it is small enought to run on one core.

Disclaimer: at work so I didn't watch the video. For loops are the "goto":s of the parallel programming era. Ditch them and the rest can be handled by the programming language abstraction. Why? Because they 1. Enforce order o

I believe you that the regime is hated. But can you define what "this moment" is that they have been waiting for? I don't think "this moment" helps them along the way. It is rather a reason for more internal repress

I agree with the gp. Iran is a huge country and USA and Israel has been pointing their finger on this exakt spot for weeks. Either they dug further down or they just transported things away. Leaving it all there just seems like a really wei

A fifth column is a group of embedded traitors. I am not sure the word is suitably used here. Franco (loosely). "We'll be marching towards Madrid in four columns. The fifth column is already in the city".

Either way, I am not sure it is a requirement on HN to read/view the source. Particularly not a 40min video. Maybe it is tongue-in-cheek, maybe I am serious. I am not sure myself. But sometimes the interesting discussions comes from wh

150 years ago an engineer was a guy with huge moustache and a hat responsible for 200 workers building a bridge that should last for 200 years. Times change, but there is not much sense in comparing.

There is still a certain percentile doing clever things. I bet a car mechanic in the 60s would have a hard time to replicate this too.

You don't have to explain taxes to me, it is a concept that is pretty easy to grasp, and - even though I understood it already - the grandparent post also explained it . And I touched the subject in my original post. I guess what I am

Thank you for your reply. For me I think a personal handout would also serve as a kind of apology. I guess this is what I am after. "We purposefully infringed your privacy by breaking the law. And made a sh*tload of money because of th

I can understand it of course. But in this case I feel personally offended. I would like to see the money handed to me.

If this fine is collected. Will I get the money? Serious question. I don't generally mind paying taxes and all that. But in this case I feel I am the person offended and I should get some kind of compensation. I'd say €1-2000 woul
