I think it’s the same for all endurance sports. I think there’s about a month of pain that you have to get through when you first start but then you realise you’re actually enjoying it. For me it’s cycling, I do 300-400 km per week now and

Well, from a philosophical point of view you might say that it's impossible. The idea of laws that can apply to e.g. mathematics might not apply to organisms because organisms are described in terms of teleology. The heart doesn't

It's only Londonderry to a minority of loyalists who aren't actually even from the place. Everyone else calls it Derry, even the loyalists in Derry. I think it's actually a rule in BBC articles that the first mention has to b

It is simply part of the neoliberal ethos. It stems from a circular belief that the private sector (the much-vaunted “Market”) is by definition better than having things run publicly. Even if selling things into the private sector results i

If you use something like Copilot a lot of the time you don’t explicitly have to tell it to do anything, you just start typing the signature and it autocompletes it. In my use I almost never use the conversation feature of Copilot, I’m just

I think it's a lot more complicated than that. I think it can be used as a tool for people who already have knowledge and skills, but I do worry how it will affect people growing up with it. Personally I see it more like going to someo

Yeah, Garmin’s own software isn’t great but it very easily syncs directly to loads of other services, and there are “interlocutor” (not sure what the right term is) apps like Rungapp on iOS that will let you sync it to even more. I personal

Hah, I was trying it the other day in a Go project and it did exactly the same thing. I couldn’t believe my eyes, it basically rewrote all the functions back out in the test file but modified slightly so the thing that was failing wouldn’t

The endonym and exonym in English were the same previously (Gulf of Mexico). The endonym is now is changing to Gulf of America while the exonym is remaining Gulf of Mexico. I'm not aware of any other places where there is the case in E

“If you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear” right? That’s the same logic politicians are using to make spying on populations legal.

It’s the same for me. When I read people say they send hundreds of job applications I don’t understand how that’s even possible. Any time I’ve been looking for a job I usually find maybe five jobs that actually interest me and I think I wou
