It is a sport where the race outcome is mostly determined by a rider’s max power output. And the max power output is in large part determined by genetics. Going beyond that max requires some “assistance“.
Re:Ask HN: Most successful example using LLMs in daily work/life?
on Monday May 20, 2024 @05:19PM (#40420536)
As a non native English speaker, it’s very helpful to use a LLM to validate if a sentence I wrote is clear, correct, and if there is a more idiomatic way to express the same thing - btw, I did not do it with what I wrote here :-)

Paradoxically, lowering your weight artificially may be causing more damage than good because of the muscle loss.
Being fit is not just about low fat. It requires a similar discipline required to control what you eat.

Because what getpid returns can change during the lifetime of a process, if it moves to a different PID namespace. I guess updating the vdso every time that happens is not worth the little gains.
Re:Endurain: Self-hosted Strava like service
on Saturday December 23, 2023 @10:38AM (#38744968)
I think the killer application of Strava is segments. Even without caring about being the quickest of all users (aka getting KOMs), I find it valuable to be able to compare my progress on a specific piece of road over time. Paired with your heart rate and perceived effort it allows you to gauge how fit you currently are - or how far you are from your peak form.

Copying the how is ok, but copying the why it’s not.
The problem here is not how companies react to a downturn, but why they think there’s one. And they are copying the whys too.

Despite this making a lot of sense, I’m afraid you can only apply it to your own business.
No one paying you a fixed wage will ever agree that working less hours for them is better than working more.
