I've found that the large scale races (like the Rock and Roll series) are generally the ones that have high sticker costs - most likely because they have higher administrative overhead and entertainment expenses. Local series usually come with saner pricing. Usually.

> It turns more into an ego/selfie-experience than a celebration of running.

I don't do too many running events during the year but when I do, they are fun because you are running with a large group of people who have also put in the work to cover the distance (not matter how fast or slow). In that sense, it is a celebration of running. I also don't have a problem with people taking a quick selfie because it's a goal they've worked for and they are excited. Let them have the moment and hope they keep up with the exercise. Plus the amount of people taking selfies during the run really isn't anything to be bothered by.

David Goggins and Scott Jurek were definitly not rich when then won their first important ultras. And according to their bio (didn't fact check it though), they trained AND had a job, which means either waking up very early, or going to bed very late.

I'd rather think that if you can run a 100K, you have the mind to overcome amazingly hard situations, and to keep trying, again and again, being in the game for a long time. Which increases your odds of success, so bigger probability to get rich in the end.

>What's the point of using this for native applications ?

The point is that javascript isn't actually a bytecode (javascript as the "bytecode for the web" is just a metphor and a necessary evil,) and compiling to javascript isn't as efficient as compiling to bytecode. Also, that webassembly provides an open (non-proprietary) general purpose compile target for multiple languages, as opposed to Flash or Java, which are proprietary and meant to target only a single language. Also, to allow for seamless transitions between applications on the web and off the web, allowing the web to serve as a primary channel for the distribution of native software.

But when one claims that weev did it as white hat "to let them know about vulnerability" then personality traits and behaviors become relevant.

They are not relevant for judging whether scrapping data from unprotected 14mil urls should be seen as hack. They are relevant to whether suggestion that he was well intentioned white hat doing public service claims sounds naive or likely. It matters when I have to decide whether I will buy his framing of events and motivations or not. Such claims very much existed and were predominant interpretation of evens in circles I was in.

Edited to add: then you had weev using his bigger fame and sort of new credibility to try to cause further harm to person he harassed somewhere around going to/from prison. So to me, it makes sense for people seen it at the time to jump into these discussions to prevent further rise of credibility.
Reaching "the end of Moore's Law" has so far been ended up being more of a problem for Moore's company than anyone else.

He wasn't charged with smuggling - just with illegal importation(it's not the same, as silly as it seems). He didn't try to hide the leeches from the customs official, but he did declare them as for "personal use" which is nonsense at this quantity.

Cold tolerance seems like a very individual thing. I've been up and down the scale a few times in terms of my weight, condition and speed. It doesn't seem to have made much difference to my comfort levels in the cold. I think the coldest run I've done in regular shorts/shirt/shoes was exactly freezing. Even then I wore a thin beanie and gloves. Without those, I would certainly have been quite uncomfortable and might have been at risk for worse. Hypothermia is a real thing. I've seen it, and don't want to experience it.

I guess it would be nice if I could run wearing less, but I honestly don't think it would be safe for me. Your mileage obviously does vary. ;) As it is, I have winter shirts, undershirts, and socks that are all different brands, and I am keenly aware of which ones are better at which temperatures. There's a bit of an art to wearing exactly the right level of gear for the conditions, and I've simply had to become good at it.

Now, you can get injured pretty easily with endurance sports too, I know lots of runners or cyclists who have very bad knees, for instance.

And when you talk about randomness vs fairness, you are not talking about sports per se, only about competition. These are two different things.
Currently, I use a simple Go client [1] and a self-hosted XMPP-server (ejabberd). In fact, I don't know what the Google servers require, but due to the federated nature of XMPP (similar to e-mail), I think it would be best to create a generic version rather than one for a specific service.

Just as much happens to it as usually happens to a petition. If you get enough signatures, you present it to whomever you think should care: government body or local news or whatever. There’s even a chance that they actually care and it makes a modest difference in some legislator’s deliberation or generates some publicity about the issue.
I'd agree with this, but I don't even think it has to be that extreme. An endurance sport requires patience and overcoming a certain level of discomfort in pursuit of a goal.

I know people who stop pursuing whatever it is they want at the first signs of discomfort or adversity. They want the good things to just happen them, and they rarely do.

I think people are reading this backwards. It isn't just using local storage and indexeddb to protect cookie values from being wiped (by the user), I can see it being more useful for using cookies as an extra store to protect localstorage/indexeddb from being cleared by the browser.

The user can still clear the data manually (clear cookies and other local data) or through a properly written app (which implements a "remove my records from this device" option, and preferably makes the local storage opt-in anyway).

If you are thinking of using this maliciously then you wouldn't use this: you'd use the already existing evercookie instead as it survives more (at the expense of potentially imparting more load on the users browser).

In my opinion it is not the performance of JavaScript or WebAssembly that is the real problem, it has not been for the past few years, it is the performance of the entire web stack (e.g. electron) that is the problem.

Combining all of the technologies in the web stack has performance hit far higher than 20%.

Flip it: I like to think that endurance sports are popular with hard working white collar workers because it is a means of coping with stress and long work hours. I work in consulting and the majority of people I work with use swimming, running and cycling as a way of relaxing / managing stress / unwinding. Hence ‘enduranxe’.

If you get the same answer three times but don't think any of them answer your question, maybe consider that you're the one failing to communicate.
There might be some differences in API. But if your base runtime + UI (html5) + basic apis (http, storage, location, etc) are the same, you are left having to deal with edge cases about platform specific features. That's not really different from the browser compatibility problems web developers consistently run into now.

So from an absolute purist point of view, yes, but practically it will be as cross-platform as it gets.

The biggest advantage is the same as using Javascript with Electron: being able to use web technologies on the desktop for easy cross-platform GUI applications. WebAssembly addresses two big downsides of that approach: speed, and having to program in Javascript.
I would propose a different hypothesis: Rich people love endurance sports because it is easy to get better at them.

Let me explain: If I am 30 made a big exit and now need a new hobby it is pretty easy to make steady progress in marathon running. I will probably not become a world-class marathon runner, but top 100 of a big event is in my reach. Still hard but possible.

If start with basketball, soccer or track and field I will probably not be competitive on a local level. Every sport with difficult techniques will be very much harder to learn.
When you hire a remote employee for a full-time job, you're usually expecting them to put in at least 40 hours per week. People will often take that job because they value the stability, want to work with a good team, want to work on an interesting problem, or there are significant stock options at an early-stage startup.

When you're a contractor, you can earn a lot of money for short-term projects, but it gets a bit boring after a while. You're more of a mercenary with no long-term interest in the project. I've also found that the projects are usually very dull. If you join an existing project as a freelancer, then the code quality is often very poor and there can be a lot of technical debt. (YMMV.)

So sometimes it's nice to join a team and have a vested interest in the project, as a co-founder or an early employee. (I've been a freelancer working 10 hours per week for the last few years, but I'm now thinking about a full-time remote job at a startup.)

Consulting is fun, but if you're going to take it seriously (e.g. paying off the mortgage on a house and saving for retirement), then you have to put in a ton of hours over a few decades. That means working on a lot of really boring and tedious projects (and maybe a few interesting ones.) I'd much rather join some startups and get a few "lottery tickets", or build my own projects and support them with part-time consulting work.

For what it's worth, systemd makes my life easier.

When I switch distro, it's almost always systemd, and not the system du jour, so I know how it works. Creating service files is a google query away, and makes common use cases a breathe, while advanced features that were hard to bash script yourself into, are now just a few options to type.

I understand that many people may have problems with systemd for their particular situation, but that's not my experience.

As a dumb user with a few laptops and servers that needs an occassional daemon, I'm glad systemd won. I know you get a lot of heat since it came out, so thank you for working on it.

Might only partly related, but I have had the same exact problem for years until I start using web components.

Having to handle the CSS only for small bits at a time, in a contained environment made it much more logical and understandable to me. Most likely because it is more obvious to understand where to put specific CSS to achieve a certain behavior.
I guess that small components tend to fit better with how my brain is wired as a mainly back-end developer.
