I never understood the hype of Medium. If I want to have a clean blog, there is plenty of off-the-shelve software to do so, especially free and open source ones.

Why did IT-affine people (i.e. people who can easily manage their own installations or which can easily move to other hosters) use Medium in the first place? Maybe [because] they never used the platform without being logged in? Because that's where all the cruelity ("you already read your 3 free articles this month...") starts.
How to Measure the Success of a Feature?
From what I've observed running those ultras are just as much of a mental task as they are physical. Granted you need to be in extreme physical shape to do one of these. I feel that if you were to take a bunch of people that are physically capable and enter them, those with the mental fortitude are going to be the ones coming out on top and/or finishing.

I am wondering if this is part of the reason why women are able to compete just as well as men on equal footing.
What's the length of the run?

50k could refer to 50km, yet, ultra usually refers to longer runs like 100km - 50 miles are 80km, so what would make more sense.

Judging by the time per mile they state in the article, it's 50km.
I don't think they make any money. That's why they needed investments.

German amusement park shuts carousel over spinning 'swastikas' [r/de complaints]
Misandry — only women are worth celebrating as a group, while men need to shut up and suffer to pay for female privilege.

It’s the same reason women have earned more degrees since 1978, yet there’s never been a serious effort to help men in education.

It’s the same reason women lie about a “wage gap”, which really is the sexist position that when men work, they inherently owe women some of the benefits.

This is the obvious outcome of institutional sexism, such as allowing only one sex to form political groups and lobby for their interests.

Feminism is sexism.
It's easy to build an audience on Medium, that's what draws authors there
Not that many people do ultra-endurance races, so you're not reliably getting the top of the curve. Variance is high as competitors frequently don't enter (they can't race all the events as they're too demanding) or drop out due to injury/ill fortune. Male muscle mass is not really an advantage in an event wherein the primary goal is to sustain a low effort for a very long time.

Those are a few of my guesses.
It used to be possible to visit medium.com and quickly find a few articles worth reading for free. Now its almost impossible to find anything on the front page without a star (paid sub required)
Why 2D convolutions over a spectrogram instead of 1D convolutions over the waveform? It seems strange to do that small amount of feature extraction if deep learning is being used anyway.

Totalitarianism is a political concept of a mode of government that prohibits opposition parties, restricts individual opposition to the state and its claims, and exercises an extremely high degree of control over public and private life.
Actually its a bit more sophisticated. Galileo ground stations measure their reported position against the actual, and then transmit correction data to the satellites which then retransmit it with the rest of the position data.

That is extremely common, diving is very foreign to the primitive part of our brains.

It takes a high degree of self control and a positive state of mind. It is similar to yoga in its focus on breathing and stress management.

If you are feeling like you are in a healthier place mentally it is a transformative experience.

This is missing all of the post-2011 dubstep subgenre stuff.

If you search "melodic dubstep" or "chillstep" there's lots of relatively popular post-2011 stuff that's way more tasteful for a mass audience than skrillex.

But that's just one branch. The other major branch is called "freeform bass" or sometimes "spacebass". Certain bass music (post-2016?) no longer has a clear genre definition, so we've literally adopted the term "freeform bass". A lot of it is pretty good. But some of it overlaps with brostep/riddim.

Plus, this is chump change, but it reminded us that we really should migrate behind their NATs for outgoing traffic. I do think that they are doing this to motivate customers to reduce the IP usage as the IPv4 space is finite.

Ultra refers to runs longer than a conventional marathon (42km~). 50km is generally the starting point for the ultra distance though and 100km is a more common benchmark.
> While we understand and empathize with the struggles of ethical monetization—and applaud Medium for refusing to monetize via intrusive ads and trackers

This part is interesting. Assuming it isn't just polite PR-speak, what is Medium being applauded for, here? Trying to use user accounts openly and directly, instead of cookies and other tracking elements to track everyone? I've always thought of these Sign in prompts on Medium (and on Quora) as just an annoyance to get past, not a possible means to "ethical monetization somehow.
Is legal in most places and barefoot is not very dangerous. The only risk I know is the foot slipping on pedal which seems unlikely to me.

The real DANGEROUS is with flip-fop, slippers or sandals and I can confirm from my experience.

You can get the front tip of your flip-flop stuck under the break pedal and, besides not being able to break quickly, you panic very fast.

If you're on flip-flops put them aside and drive barefoot.

Another reason for the lack of economic reforms is that many people in Hong Kong have drunk the free market fundamentalism kool-aid for so long that they actually believe it's the reason for Hong Kong's past success. What ended up happening of course is that markets don't have level playing fields anymore.
"Julia has very well thought syntax..."

Predictable audience? Absolutely not.

It's easy for a story or two to go viral (as in, slightly easier than on other platforms). What's not easy is to retain that viewership. Similarly to YouTube, you could put weeks worth of effort into one article just for it to flunk spectacularly simply because the recommendation algorithm didn't like it in the first 12 hours or so since you've clicked "publish".
Wasn't there a mexican tribe where they run marathons all the time? IIRC, a woman from the tribe participated and won an ultra marathon hands down (and wearing slippers made of tyres or something like that)

It's great when women win these races, and I wish there were more, but don't get the misperception they are somehow faster in this sport compared to men than in other sports. It all depends who shows up on the start line. Elite women are faster than nearly all the men, so if an elite woman shows up, but no elite men do, she will likely win.

> Of course I'd like a static website for deploying, but I'd love a web gui which acts as a frontend for such generators.

We used to have that with MovableType and (less known) Bricolage.

I think this happens when you don't have clear monetization strategy from the beginning.

Also, I always felt uncomfortable when reading a Medium post. It was always much more than a clear text that what I am interested.

If an AI is doing it, maybe, but it also has to be unhinged from all of the people programming it or owning it.
That was unthinkable until recently.
As a proud HN commentor you should have built your own static site generator long time ago. Preferably in Assembler or some esoteric unknown language!
Thanks. It seems you have to specify a pin, and not an area to get a plus code.
All the security experts on HN say you should use a passcode instead of a fingerprint for unlocking your phone. However, it seems fairly easy for someone to just watch you over your shoulder input your passcode (i.e. "shoulder surf"), or have it be recorded on increasingly ever-present surveillance cameras (e.g. buses, subways, food courts, etc.).

What about putting buttons along the sides of your phone and using chorded combinations as your passcode? Seems squeezing those buttons would be much harder to observe or record (intentionally or unintentionally).
I commented this 3 days ago: Medium is not for writers. They struggle to do a good business model. hurting non-profesional writers, so, it's obvious they leave Middle-Earth. If Medium only works for proffesional writers, there will be a tiny tiny portion of content compared they have today.
> I must say I don't get what unique value proposition Medium think they have that allows them to treat both publishers and readers like crap.

My take is that they had a unique value proposition at the beginning: "YouTube for text: audience and authors all at the same place, with recommendations and unified comment platform". But then it became apparent that they will not magically become profitable or bought, so they started with the crap.
I think the core point about adding more people to a team still holds true. You have to deal with more communication issues.
Ultra running is a completely different duration than the events you mentioned.
i guess it was just lucky they had robots visit all the apollo sites to set them up, hey....
Or maybe call your representative and pass a law that makes parents more responsible.
Or maybe they genuinely believe that their products are safer than cigarettes and believe that they are helping people by giving them an alternative.
> “I ended up taking both awards—the overall winner and the first place female,” Pell said. “I felt bad that the first place man didn’t have one, so I tried to convince them to blot out the ‘fe’ on ‘female’, but they said to just keep both trophies. It was pretty funny.”

Yeah, so basically modals, banners, reminders to use the app etc. (vide https://www.webdesignerdepot.com/cdn-origin/uploads/2019/06/...) are new toolbars of the late 2010s (http://i.imgur.com/X7ipc.png).

I don't like the direction where the Web is currently heading. Shutting down open APIs, forcing users to use the one and only official app (Facebook Messenger, Instagram, Reddit's starting to do so more and more), ubiquitous tracking, aggressive ad targeting and so on.

How can we - users, programmers, hackers - fight this?
They can still guarantee to store it in the EU, which should legally be enough for any EU company. I don't think laws are allowed to require storing data in a specific member country.
It's sexism by definition because it's making a choice based on gender, but that doesn't make it wrong.

Men are more physically performant than women, so if there weren't two leagues then in the overall majority of sports women would just lose.

The article describes how long-tail outcomes have been excluded from forecasts out of a desire by scientists to present a unified voice so as to minimize perceived doubt.
Congratulations to her. But that’s really not true. Women’s records lag behind men’s records in all endurance categories. Women’s results lag behind men’s results in major events. The woman’s world record marathon wouldn’t be a first place at any major event. Her time in this 50k was more than an hour and ten minutes behind the 50k world record suggesting the competition at this event simply wasn’t very stiff.

She didn't win the 'Male' trophy, she won the winner's trophy and the 'First Female' trophy.
I second this. I migrated from Middleman a while back because I couldn't be bothered to handle ruby dependency conflicts during an update anymore. Hugo is what I use now and it's great. Migration from one to other was actually surprisingly easy too.

In other words, the compiler can infer this from the function definition (or at least clang does), but it cannot infer this from a function declaration, because the implementation is missing - unless you are using LTO like the parent mentions.

Having worked at a company with a useful architect described above, it’s impressive to see what can be made to streamline developer lives.

Also, the amount of knowledge developers can absorb from the arch team code base to use in the future is amazing. Ie; personal projects, etc...

I think to help offset the junior bothering the arch. Team, knowledge transfer meetings + documentation is always necessary.

Thank you for the other perspective of how architect can go wrong!

Looking at those record tables has me wondering what GP is referring to when they say that barely any difference exists between the sexes...
Well, they said no woman ever won this race so I guess it's a fair assumption that the first place will be a male.

They probably added the female winner trophy to be more inclusive towards women even.

The situation is kind of stupid but does not seem malicious to me, just happened to be like this.
I think you're talking past each other. Grandparent is examining the case where there is a function call (the printf), but you do not pass anything relevant into it. You're looking at the case where there is no function call, so peephole optimization can observe that the memory at that location can't change.

"volatile" basically tells the compiler "Hey, wait, this might be modified by DMA, another thread, or another process. Assume nothing."
I can understand Medium wanting to make a profit but they've taken the wrong path (IMHO). Too many popups, distractions and recently reading limits.

I know I'm going to be downvoted for this but I'll give it a try :-)

I tried Hugo before but came to the same conclusion. The simplicity draw me into trying it, but in my opinion the solution is not streamlined.

That's why i finally settled for a Flat File CMS [1], in my case Grav [2]. Like with hugo you get total control. And with most of them you get a single web interface to administrate the site, manage extensions and write blog entries. And you still have the possibility to git push everything on the dev server and git pull on prod, without managing a database. It's a dream.

They are not without problems though. You need to host your php site somewhere. Sometimes it's necessary to dive into php to fix some problems and creating something unique still takes some web skills (in contrary to wordpress for example).

2. Women generally tend to be better at long-endurance than men
Using OpenFaaS on AWS doesn't exactly alleviate all of the lock-in. It locks you in to a larger spend. This is because OpenFaaS is heavily dependent on, generally, a k8s cluster that is going to be chewing through bill time 24/7. I think that's the trade-off: you pay to not be locked into Lambda. Personally I don't think that's a bad thing, but I've seen plenty of times where customers would balk because their initial serverless trials cost $5, $10, $15 a month but when running something that would be better for them longer term it would initially be 4-8x that in opex. So they go the "easier" (cheaper) path and build everything around that lock-in tooling.

I'm using Jekyll for my site[0] which currently has 240+ blog posts that are filtered by tag but I didn't have to use any plugins to get that functionality. It's really fast too.

The way I set it up was with tags but that's really no different than a category. For example if you click the #docker tag, you get back a bunch of posts I tagged with #docker. Each post has a `tags` item in its front matter where I can pass a list of strings (a post can belong in 1 or more tags).

It would be too much to type in here to cover everything but if you Google for things like "Jekyll filter posts by tag" you'll find a bunch of plugin-less examples.

What's neat is you can also define a custom page title / meta description for each tag's index page using nothing more than what's built into Jekyll.

You know what's creepy ? "You read a lot. We like that."

Or install our mobile app and get more content, or signup and get more content we figured with our fancy algorithm for you.

Here's the thing, Medium never worked for me.
I had over ~300 followers and if I published something none of them would see it, no reaction, no visit, no read at all and I repeated the same thing over and over again with no luck.

I'd only get visits and reads on my articles when I shared the articles on social networks.

It seems your followers, real or fake don't matter are spammed with Medium algorithm to read "recommended" content.

I'm a developer, I like simple thing, but I don't like using static site generators to build a blog out of rst or md files and push to github etc.

I want a community around my blog, I wanna nice simple UI, a simple commenting solution, a place to upload my files and attach in posts optimized for web.

Plenty of blogging platforms may or may not provide all of it out of the box, but each with their own weird ToS and privacy policy.

I simply had enough of it and created my own blogging platform, https://www.gonevis.com where I have my own blog https://alireza.gonevis.com
