For fitness I’m obsessed with biking so I do like 90 minutes of endurance/tempo pace 5 days a week and usually a race once a week. Zwift is great with a Tacx when weather is bad (often).

That isn’t a time option for everyone but it is also likely well beyond what is necessary for most people.

I also don’t drink or smoke or vape which I think is important.

Not going to say I’m an expert or an exemplar of health but I am really trying everything I know to do at this stage.

But I would be very happy to do any elective non invasive tests. On the fence about going beyond that until/unless the Dr. flags it as needed.

It is very difficult to have any level of confidence with the medical industry so my current approach has been to eat as healthy as possible while staying as fit as I can without undue extreme stress.

So statistically, even if one is purely honest and accurate, most likely you aren’t in that one particular silo.

In any case, I can’t complain anyway because I have received my share of favorable coverage. It is just less frequent when you don’t have the personal connections.

But you can’t really even make the case to them anymore because like you said they can’t/won’t even read your email.

What mostly happens is they constantly provide free publicity to existing big players whose products they will cover for free and/or will do sponsored videos with.

The only real chance you have to be covered as a small player is to hope your users aggregate to the scale where they make a request often enough that it gets noticed and you get the magical blessing from above.

Not sure what my point is other than it kinda sucks. But it is what it is.

If I catch myself feeling grumpy or down, it is pretty easy to reframe and summon genuine happiness.

Even during intense suffering of various kinds. To a large extent you get to decide which universe you live in.

That has obvious advantages with things like marketing and identifying what people want.

Then of course you have a million other traits like work ethic and being a sociopath which can grease the wheels of success.

Then, about a year later changed my diet and started tracking macros. Was able to stop taking Metamucil after balancing them properly.

I’d consider Metamucil a bandaid, it is easier to supplement than rehaul your entire diet. But the latter is better in the long run for sure.

Incredible.

Which sounds really awful, but after a while it forces you to parse the logic itself instead of being guided by possibly-out-of-date comments and variable names.

I now prefer less verbosity so that probably explains why I’m a little out of distribution on this topic.

If you looked at any of my code prior to that job, it was the polar opposite with very “pretty” code and lengthy comments everywhere.

But any variable which I’ve not already marked as const is pretty much by definition going to be modified at least once. So now instead of 1 variable name you need at least two.

So now the average number of variables per non-const variable is >= 2 and will be much more if you’re doing for example DSP related code or other math heavy code.

You can avoid it with long expressions but that in principle is going against the “name every permutation” intention anyway.

Mine was usually some sort of superhero who did flips over things and picked them up and whatnot.

I can’t imagine if you could “actually see” the skateboarder how much less boring those rides would be.

When it happened to me the few times it was an otherwise very mundane day and it felt very natural. It was overlayed onto whatever else I was looking at and could persist with eyes closed.

Honestly the experience kind of cheapened art for me to an extent since you either have that cheat code or you don’t.

My point isn’t that I want that to happen, which is probably what downvotes assume, my point is this is not going to be the final stage of the war.

Presumably the crawlers don’t already have an LLM in the loop but it could easily be added when a site is seen to be some threshold number of pages and/or content size.

Wish there were more hours in the day.

I wonder if that will change as well..

This was on a wide variety of intel, AMD, NUMA, ARM processors with different architectures, OSes and memory configurations.

Part of the reason is hyper threading (or threadripper type archs) but even locking to groups wasn’t usually faster.

This was even moreso the case when you had competing workloads stealing cores from the OS scheduler.

This seems to be the disconnect.
