I had hit similar issues with weight lifting and climbing. As a beginner I adopted approach of others - keep pushing yourself, grow. I had frequent minor injuries, and it was very frustrating to stop for few weeks and lose gains from months of efforts. This gets worse with age, and earlier than you think.

These days, I just keep my stable set of weights, which are rather light compared to what I used to do, but I increased repetitions to at least 2x. Didn't have any injury anymore. Also, if you are smart you eventually realize huge muscles are outright stupid for real life, extremely hard o get to and maintain, especially without ruining your body, and completely impractical for any sport. Long term you end up exactly opposite than healthy. Same for climbing, I climb easier routes but have always tremendous fun, I simply love climbing and whole ballet on a vertical rockface, especially on real rock out there in the nature.

Great for health, longevity, happiness, but also attractive to other sex can be a bit of muscle and lean. Your personality, approach to life etc. makes much more impression and gets you stable long term relationships easier if that's the motivation.

Oh and I do similar but a bit shorter walks, earplugs in my ears, walking around wineyards around us in almost complete darkness, just moon and few villages far away. Sometimes stoned :) Since I love them I don't even think about them as a workout, rather head cleanup, connecting with nature.

Just my 2 cents.
It is a interesting question. Some percentage of the harm from smoking is probably that it makes you more sedentary and likely to avoid cardiovascular activity. People who walk briskly for 22 minutes probably also eat better.

OP has a point. We could do with more discipline when it comes to naming conventions in C. We're not using punch cards any longer.

Somewhat related, there's another comment about the 80 char max... clang-format keeps to this. I'm kind of OK with this particular remnant of punch cards because I can get four editor windows open side by side on my ultra wide monitor.

The nginx codebase is pretty freaking fantastic and I've learned a lot from just randomly browsing through the source, but I mean, come on:

https://github.com/nginx/nginx/blob/master/src/core/ngx_arra...

if ((u_char *) a->elts + a->size * a->nalloc == p->d.last) {

What's p? Oh, ngx_pool_t. Object pool? Memory pool? What's a again? elts? Is that elements?

If that read:

if ((u_char *) array->elements + array->size * array->nalloc == memoryPool->d.last) {

It's time for the old school conventions to change a little bit. C ain't going anywhere. Let's embrace a world where descriptive variable names are not subject to cost/benefit analysis like they were in 1977.

It's multi-pronged and I imagine adopters may use a subset of features. Broadly, I think folks are going to be interested in a) branch/tag/reference protection rules, b) file protection rules (monorepo or otherwise, though monorepos do pose a very apt usecase for gittuf), and c) general key management for those who primarily care about Git signing.

For those who care about a and b, I think the work we want to do to support in-toto attestations [0] for SLSA's upcoming source track [1] could be very interesting as well.

That doesn't sound remotely close to reliable.

Same screen size as the original EEE 701, only in a smaller case. That was only just touch-typable, in my experience.

What I'd worry about with this is the weight of the thing. Not too heavy, too light - you kinda want something with a little bit of inertia so it doesn't scoot across the desk while you're typing on it.
I find that it’s more popular to pontificate about what it means for software to engineered to a high standard. That sorta rest on ignoring the fact there are localized fields where we know how to do it. People want to talk hypotheticals rather than go see how we do it.

We know how, it’s just slow, expensive and the tooling isn’t some fantasy perfect environment where safety and effectiveness is already built in and developers just do the business logic.
We are just launching something related. Basically the harm from static sitting actually begins at around 10-12 minutes and builds from there. The more often you can interrupt it before that the better, but of course that also starts impacting productivity. There are also many sitting health impacts from muskuloskeletal to metabolic and these kinds of studies might show benefit in some areas but aren't testing everything.

Our thought is if we can also build significant posture changes (sit-stand) more easily into the workday it can help a lot, and our first study showed this dramatically.

We just launched on Indiegogo here: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/movably-pro-the-freedom-o...

> Any idea if this is why, in Japanese-dubbed anime, the voice actors seriously mangle some English words/names? E.g., they often add a vowel sound to the ends of English words that should end with a percussive syllable.

I don't know anything about anime, and little about Japanese, but I think Japanese (and Chinese) have a fairly strict consonant-vowel form for all their syllables. That makes foreign words that have runs of consonants or do not end it a vowel hard to pronounce, so speakers of those languages have a tendency to insert extra vowels to make pronunciation easier for themselves.

It's kind of like how English speakers will usually change the Pinyin "X" (as in Xi Jinping) into an English S or SH sound when they try to speak it, because the actual sound doesn't exist in English.

You're confusing with mechanical engineering applied to medical devices with medicine.

It's like claiming bakeries have incredible rigorous engineering processes just because mechanical and industrial engineers design devices and automate processes.

Not the same thing, is it?

You're just pointing to standards that engineers working on specialized devices need to comply. One covers quality assurance and the other is focused on specialized electrical equipment.

They'll probably be even harder to see than bicyclists with riders and get hit all the time by human and robot drivers.

Not at present! Do you have a link or so I could use to familiarize myself? I'm curious if and how it'd fall within gittuf's scope.

Nope, it doesn't. That said, the repository will have more objects, gittuf tracks additional objects through custom refs in `refs/gittuf/`.

> how do you ensure that the developers are really the developers and there's no spoofing?

At present, gittuf policies use signing keys. It doesn't rely on the commit metadata for author and committer but rather the commit's signature. We support GPG and Sigstore's gitsign [0] right now, and we want to support other signing mechanisms like SSH keys as well.

German has an official and fully information preserving transcription to basic latin (which is really what all this talk about "anglo letters" is, just the basic latin letters in common use in the early modern era, with no diacritics at all), which can be used in official documents, too. Other languages, like latinized Turkish, obviously copied the diacritics, but seem to have left out the transcription rules, most probably because they borrowed the letters long after their history was relevant.

I have been working on obtaining Greek citizenship, and it has been crazy dealing with the documentation from my late grandfather who never updated anything upon moving to America. There are two ways to spell his surname depending on if the documents come from Greece or Albania (due to borders changing between countries since his birth). When he was in the process of immigrating to the US through Ellis Island, his last name was converted to Greeklish (English alphabet representing Greek characters) on all of the manifests. This resulted in a few mixed spellings. At Ellis Island they ruled his name would be too confusing for Americans, so they entirely altered the spelling to make it phonetically more pleasing to an American. Fortunately, his name was short enough where the new name sounds the same as it does in Greek. My grandfather proudly took his new name and enjoyed his new life! Many immigrants from Greece had their names shortened and completely altered. To a Greek, they are incoherent gibberish with no meaning.

Then there is the issue where women’s surnames are conjugated into a feminine ending, so women have similar but different last names than their husbands. The US didn’t like this and didn’t understand this practice for a long time. I know a few women that have dual citizenship and maintain a passport for each country with a different spelling of their last name. Updating documentation in one country to the other causes all sorts of issues with this setup (since everything requires a translation via an apostille). My friends recently got married in Greece and then separately again in the US at a courthouse to avoid all of the paperwork and translation pains from the woman’s Greek maiden name differing from her American maiden name.

Many of these issues are easier to deal with now, but they have a long history of confusion and extra effort going back more than 100 years. Safe to say, I’m relying on documentation from my other Greek grandfather where things are more straightforward for pursuing my citizenship.

At present, gittuf's access control policies are centered around _write_ permissions rather than _read_. That said, we want to re-use some of the same policy semantics to build _read_ permissions too. So, you'd use the same mechanism in the policy to determine who can read an object, by their signing key to share the key used to encrypt the secret. We've looked at git-secret, git-crypt, etc. a little and we'd like to integrate with existing tools where possible rather than build anew. With the alpha release coming up soon, we ought to have more time to develop the read permissions side of gittuf.

I liked Edge originally too - it seemed cleaner than chrome and had some cool features like vertical tabs and the Dev tools that were better than Chrome's. I made it my daily driver.

Then they adding a shopping helper; then more ads to the new start-page; then a notification about Microsoft rewards; then popups about how "Bing is better" or that "Bing AI" was there to help - don't forget the "Open links in Edge on Mobile" popup; then they added a side toolbar with a giant B[ing] button that wasn't removable unless you toggled a group policy (now there's an option for it). The damn button was the last straw for me because of the amount of work I needed to do to just disable it.

> I just want to get on my computer - do a few things and get some stuff done

Yeah, so do I and Edge kept getting in the way to keep telling me about all the new things that Microsoft things I should use.

Chrome isn't great - the privacy sandbox/built-in interests stuff is disgusting - but Chrome wasn't as "in your face" so I could just start it and go. Brave avoided the the privacy sandbox and now Firefox works for me everywhere.
The letters ß and ss are pronounced exactly the same, a hard 's' sound. Their effect on the preceding sounds is slightly different, though -- 'ss' makes the vowel short, 'ß' keeps it long. In all, a rather minute difference.

I would only recommend pgvector if you're already primarily relying on postgres and the scale is limited (<1M documents). It won't handle the part that generates the embeddings though. You could use cloud vendors if you're in one of their ecosystem, do it yourself [1] (but model serving can be tricky without prior experience in ML), or use some other service to generate embeddings [2].

Alternatively vespa cloud [3] offer both but… not the easiest to work with, it's tailored for businesses where search is a primary component.
