Expectations vary but I find that regardless of perfect comfort and battery life I don’t want to go more than a few hours without a break. I’ll watch a jumbo movie or a few hours of tv on a flight no problem

Comfort: For me, the answer was “no” out of the box. I had to exchange my light seal twice before I got the right one. This was no charge but obviously it would be great to get it right the first time and it seems like a large number of users never did this and those are the ones who complain most about comfort. Not blaming the users btw, Apple needs to fix this if they care about the product

Onlookers: I always wonder if somebody will bug me and they never have. If you are self-conscious, it might not not be the product for you

Gestures: You learn that they can be done very subtly and you don’t need to bother the person next to you

When will this stop being controversial? All you need to do is look at past winners of this farcical prize

Without question worth it for the big CO’s like salesforce (market cap $230B) and MS (market cap $4T)

CEO-hate is bipartisan and antithetical to the mission of our media (propaganda). Getting the working class to argue over wedge issues keeps them from seeking meaningful change.

The site is cool but as a runner this is not admirable and not something others should emulate. Interesting how few comments call that out but perhaps not surprising if your audience admires The Hustle

Respectfully, if this guy has been doing it for ten years, it’s obviously not so bad as you make it out to be. It’s not a grind set mentality, it’s just one guys choice to exercise in a certain manner.

I am a runner. I train at what is probably the 80th percentile for longer distances, so I am by no means an expert. But I do understand that if you are running 7 miles a week, most of the time, your body isn’t going to be that beat up, especially if you are taking it slow.

It's not about the running but the "running through sickness and fractures". It's just plain stupid to risk your health like that. Great that it worked, but this is nothing anyone should blindly emulate. Have fun with the heart infection because you needed to run for virtual internet points.

Scientific information on the topic is quite sparse. There are ascientific recommendations about vigorous activity that probably have some merit, but unless you are terribly, terribly ill, a very light workout is not known to increase adverse health outcomes.

Read it out loud ‘7 miles a week’

Most people sit at a desk for 40 hrs a week. That is way more damaging to your health.

Yeah once I read that I realised it wasn’t extreme at all.

I take ~2 mile brisk walks every day (the kind where my pulse will average to 130), interspersed with casual multi-mile hikes up the mountain trail nearby. That’s just my baseline cardio and movement to feel good and keep myself healthy.

What I’ve learned is a lot of people would call a “brisk walk” which takes your heart rate to average 130 “a run”. A runner’s definition of running can be quite different to a layperson’s.

I always thought (and still do!) it's about whether there are moments when both of your feet are off the ground, not about the pace.

Isn't that running?

If my heart rate is 130, that's a run for me, all be ot slow. 33-35min ish 5k.

A brisk walk would be 95ish

Lots of change in elevation, with steep hills, stairs etc. For comparison my resting heart rate is ~57 on average, and for more intense workouts I can go up to ~160 for periods of time, so I think my range is healthy. But I can get a lot out of a brisk walk in this terrain ;) I've found it's a lot better for my knees than running or jogging, which I've practically replaced in favor of mountain hiking and said brisk walks, as well as indoor cycling when the weather is bad.

Ten years might not be long enough for long term damage to make itself known. In fact, most of the time, it's nowhere near long enough.

However, the cardio should help. With overall health that is, not whatever blown knee or hip or whatever he'll have to deal with later.

It worked out for this specific person under these specific circumstances with a methodology he might have not even fully shared.

You should not conclude from that, that it is healthy for every person to do so.

> with the occasional 0:01 run to be sure I get one in that day

> i call the one-milers "streak savers"

If that game helps, fine.

I believe that he means 00:01 as in one minute after midnight and not 1 second runs. The minimum distance is a mile for his streak I believe

Do you think it matters what they mean? It's a game with arbitrary rules. If the game helps then fine.

I (still!) have an uncle who had a similar mindset, broke his leg half way through a race and only realised when he stopped at the end, that he couldnt walk any further

finally when they had to (successfully) defib him during a race, that shook him into assessing his health not running for the sake of running

There's a mindset with distance runners that I have seen over and over, just sometimes way too much of a generally good thing

as a runner, i love the site.

Amazing, this is exactly the kind of thing I happened to be looking around for this week. I'm sure I can reason it out but would you mind adding macOS steps to the readme? I notice you marked an issue about macOS compilation as completed so I assume it works?

Edit: Yes yes yes this is awesome, thank you!

Alright alright I did it myself :)

* git clone https://github.com/Interactive-Echoes/IEMidi.git

* git submodule update --init --recursive

* cmake .

* cpack

I also had to install Vulkan because I didn't have it

Nice! yes IEMidi is cross platform and works on macOS, but i haven't gotten the time to finalize the Packaging for that system yet, but extremely glad it works right out of the box on your macOS.

Given there’s a mini genre of games that emulate using assembly to solve puzzles the answer is clearly yes. Not sure if any of them teach a real language.

The most popular are the Zachtronics games and Tomorrow Corp games. They’re so so good!

It’s definitely not for everyone but I feel like, of the people who were intrigued enough to buy one, you’re probably in the minority. I would have found it worth it just with the first season of games. It has exceeded my wildest expectations

In case you haven’t seen this nostalgic strip

Yes, thank you for saying so- reading about all this, but especially all the people chiming in who already knew about a lot of it? The fact that the founder of LessWrong coined the term “alignment,” a subject I’ve read about many times… it feels like learning lizard people always walked among us

Honestly it feels like this is the first time people are realizing that six degrees of separation means that crazy people can usually be connected to influential people. In this case they're just realizing it with the rationalists.
