Great story. Think twice though before adopting mind over matter approach. The Born to Run hero died at ~60 while doing a 12 mile training run of massive heart damage. Running too far or even with too fast a pace may be hazardous for the av

Some students still struggle to learn reading in a phonics-based reading environment. Teachers or those with influence over the curriculum get sold on some other program that they are told is going to make things better, and it might for a

This article explains that Watson and Crick used Franklins work and that Franklin knew about it- really science as it is supposed to work. There was no eureka moment from stealing data but instead Watson and Crick spent months modeling the

It’s odd that there’s still one binary. You can have a mostly monolithic library but produce a web binary and a worker binary, etc. Go can produce them efficiently with a single build command.

TiDB and CRDB handles all these scenarios. They are designed for synchronized distributed replication from the ground up and a tremendous amount of engineering work has gone into these systems.

I am going to try bouldering in them as well. There was a thread on Reddit where someone mentioned really liking bouldering in them, but then the bouldering gym wouldn’t let him use them because they look like socks.

At some temperate (different for every person) the sealskinz will be too hot. I really liked wearing them in near freezing weather- basically I didn’t have to buy a waterproof boots. When it’s above 50 Fahrenheit I don’t wear them because I

You don't need socks with them. I have a smaller size for no socks and one size larger for wearing with socks. I wear the larger size with socks when it is colder or wetter. I have multiple pairs and haven't needed to wash them ye

That’s the point of harm reduction. If we stop focusing on treating those with drug addictions as criminals, they can potentially contribute to our society instead of having their lives destroyed by criminal convictions and medical issues f

A lot of grazing is done on marginal farming land. For example land that is very dry or land that is very steep. So generally a statistic like 83% of the world's farmland doesn't make any sense. Not sure if it is possible to count

On the sampling side there is quality scientific evidence that cd level sampling can lead to audible ringing. The theory here in that more room is needed for a gentler rolloff in filtering. 192 kHz is overkill but this might suggest that 9

It’s not that high- some music streams with higher sampling frequencies and bit depths. The main snake oil phenomenon that goes on is up sampling cd quality recordings to these levels. That doesn’t accomplish much other than confusion. Cert

What about the existing housing stock? There's a lot of energy upgrades that pay off well over a couple decades, but not when you move an average of every 7 years and the new homeowners don't know how or care to value your upgrade
