I will agree that one of the few places that the imperial system is hands down better than metric is that on the highway it's roughly 1 mile per minute. That and it's just barely possible to run a mile in under 4 minutes, so makes

I just finished reading The Making Of The Atomic Bomb and one of the things that really struck me is that the early experiments that Rutherford, Bohr and others were doing were only slightly outside the reach of a really motivated backyard

I think that the bigger impact is improved quality of life when you’re old. Having a higher baseline health after 70 allows you to enjoy your later years much better. You may not live much longer but it’ll more likely be a longer period of

Billing is the original sin of healthcare. EMRs (excluding the VA’s old MER VistA) were not developed to improve clinical workflows or outcomes, they were originally conceived to improve and streamline billing. This orientation has massivel

Nonsense. I've been using it to write tests, and it does a phenomenal job. If I write out the positive case, it will suggest the negative case and help me through the various permutations. This has by-far been the most useful part of c

This is a common theory, but if you look at the math of the rocket equation, a very large percentage is for pure horizontal velocity, with a small percentage of gravity losses for getting from the surface to the orbital altitude, an even sm

It didn’t fail for me. If hosting my first app/mvp hadn’t been so simple, I’m not sure I would have kept going down the software development path; and for that, I’m incredibly grateful.

If your chain isn't too badly fallen off, you can usually just shift in the opposite direction of where it fell off and the derailleur will usually get the chain back on without having to get your fingers greasy. Be careful when you do

This really does a fantastic job of highlighting the lower lying areas with more subtle elevation changes. There are many details in the US plains that I never saw before, but the most amazing thing that I learned from this map his how low-

I use it bc ~95% of the people that I message with use it as well. It’s a rare day when I text with someone who doesn’t have iMessage. I don’t know for sure, but I’m quite confident that a significantly smaller fraction of those people use

Having lived in Minneapolis proper for the last 10 years and growing up nearby, the restaurant scene is VASTLY better than it was before. We used to have stuffy, overpriced, mediocre restaurants. Now we’ve gotten vibrant, new and creative p

Heart rate and power (in watts) are used as a measure of how hard you’re going. During intervals you’re almost always trying to target a specific heart rate zone and stay there. During long climbs, elite riders know how many watts they’re c

When you’re mountain biking is certainly a problem. Doing intervals or racing on a really tight, twisty, and bumpy trail, not only do you have less time to look at your computer, it’s moving around so much relative to your eyes that it take

So here’s my logic but sounds a bit different than yours… While vaccinated people can be infected, the rate of infection is significantly reduced and therefore fewer opportunities for the virus to mutate. But if the primary originator of va

I think that one argument that does hold some weight is that each new infection is an opportunity for a new mutation and a new variant. This variant could be milder or it could be worse (delta). So in that view, vaccinating young children r

Question if anyone from the Oso team is here: From what I've read, the Oso core is built in rust, but then is it called from Ruby or is it re-implemented in Ruby? I couldn't see any native extension like code in the ruby portion o
