it's not obvious to me how utopian this will feel as the percentage of (quite high powered) ebikes continues to grow. There is a chance that the golden age of city cycling is over.

I’ve also tried, and failed with aeropress. I found that grind size is very tricky to convey with words or photos. e.g. https://elegantcoffee.com/coffee-grind-size-brewing-methods/ It’s almost like a wind-up. I also do

It's kindof ironic that despite it being quite simple, and there being around 100 years of freely available science explaining why it's not true, some people just can't stop saying "calories in - calories out"

I actually think it’s rather difficult to mimic Erlang message passing in go, but trivial (and not uncommon) to mimic go channels in Erlang.

On my Mac, and on windows on my laptop, every colour is distinct. On Ubuntu on my laptop (with good monitor) many of the colours (the greens around the edge for example) look the same.

Obviously Betteridge's law, but.. Hell yes something is being lost. Many cities are finally getting something like the cycling infrastructure that cyclists have dreamt about. Unfortunately, it’s for electric mopeds. They’re as hostil

someone else can explain better than me, but.. humidity is lower when it's cold but relative humidity is higher. Being outside in the uk when it's cold is often like being inside a cloud, with 100% relative humidity levels. Comb

I make so many typos lately that when I read back what I’ve just typed it is often gibberish. I’ve seriously wondered whether I’ve suffered from serious cognitive decline (iPhone 11 pro max)

~10 trees have been planted on my street (in London) over the past few years. Each cost hundreds of pounds and took months to arrange. Every one died this summer.

the idea of a 'virtual' strobe tuner is a curious one - a strobe tuner being such a material thing. I'm not contesting that Peterson's is the best, but the 'strobe' aspect of it has to be marketing guff, doesn&

You’ve guessed incorrectly how much the average citizen cares about standing up to Putin. Most people believe that the consequences of not standing up to him would be far worse

I still think the distinction is (a bit) valid. You could run a stressed mail server on os9 for a year with no downtime/ no maintenance. The chances that the afterthought mac port of the windows software that you need to run would be f

Oh it wasn't robust by todays standards (or any standards really), but it would be wrong to infer from that that the quality of OS9 was inferior to OS8, OS7, rotting, etc.

OS9 was very stable, but some apps weren't e.g. photoshop would crash a lot, and as there was no protected memory space for processes every app crash balked the entire system. Happy days.

it was a long time ago, but there used to be a model of the state machine for selecting a file in the mac os9 Finder that was often shared (yes i'm talking about around the time that OS9 was current). I don't suppose anyone rememb
