> Less pain

Is there anything to back this up? The people I know who work out are always complaining about their muscles and joints.

When you start working out, you will have soreness in your muscles from lactic acid because your body isn’t used to it.

Once you get in a routine of doing it at least twice a week you won’t get that soreness anymore. People who start working out, then miss a month, then start back experience it all the time. Consistency is key.

brightball commented on GitHub is no longer independent at Microsoft after CEO resignation   theverge.com/news/757461/... · Posted by u/Handy-Man

I think that just like it happened with Apple after they made it out of bankruptcy, Microsoft being the cool guys phase is slowly over.

Xamarin is no more, after the whole MAUI rewrite without backwards compatibility to Xamarin.Forms, killing VS4Mac, shortly after having rewriten the underlying Xamarin based IDE into Mac, what survives is a subset of Xamarin tech for mobile and WebAssembly workloads.

.NET is now cross platform, but only as long as it doesn't hurt VS sales, with GUI workloads, profilers, still being mostly Windows only, and partially supported on VSCode, which also has the same VS license.

A proper cross platform IDE experience requires getting Rider.

Then there is the issue they seem to be shoting into all directions, with GUI frameworks, Web, Blazor, Aspire, to see what sticks.

Github even with the previous CEO was already a delivery mechanism for Azure and AI efforts, now it will be full steam ahead, as per new org chart.

VC++ after betting other compilers in C++20 support, seems to have lost its resources struggling to deliver C++23, and also probably affected by the Secure Future Initiative, and decisions for safer languages.

But hey 4 trillion valuation, so from shareholders point of view, everything is going great.

I’m glad Gitlab is still an option, just sitting there waiting to absorb the market pivot if Microsoft takes it the wrong way.

Am also using it with minimal eye candy stuff.

It's pretty solid but I dislike that I had to install many additional things for everything to work smoothly. I think some "more sensible defaults" really wouldn't hurt.

I mean just go to https://wiki.hypr.land/ and take a look at the "Hypr Ecosystem" navigation entry. Really? I need to install and learn about ~15 additional hypr* binaries to use this as intended?

Omarchy gives you sensible defaults to save all that time.

Give yourself a treat and visit an Apple Store for a Vision Pro demo: ask to see the newly released immersive video where you're in the cockpit with Brad Pitt as he roars down the road. Fantastic!

…I will definitely do that

If you live in a region where F1TV is standalone (eg: US) and not part of an expensive sports package (eg: UK) it's good value. You can watch old races and related content, and each race weekend there is a good 4 hours worth watching live (qualifying and race, with good pre/post content). You can open multiple streams with the main race footage, any driver's live on-board video and radio, and various screens of telemetry. It's worth watching on a mobile device even if you are at a race watching live from the stands.

Yea, I subscribed and used it to watch the Hungarian GP this past weekend. The driver view was really intense!

I’ve been catching up by binging a lot of content that was recommended to me. The movie Rush (2013) was great. Brawn on Hulu was a fantastic story. Currently shopping for some vintage gear from them.

Watching a little Drive to Survive on Netflix too.

I tried to read this. I gave up after the forced slow-scroll and convoluted layout.

It's a shame that all this lovely artwork and data is trapped in this horrid presentation automation.

Wow, I read your comment before I clicked. What were they thinking.

I’ve been getting into F1 this summer since the movie got my interest up.

brightball commented on UN report finds UN reports are not widely read   reuters.com/world/un-repo... · Posted by u/anjneymidha

This is an institutional reflection of the individual tendency to talk about problems rather than solving them. Or, an important variant, where the urge to help those in need is expressed as directing them to "appropriate resources", which are also services that direct those seeking help to other appropriate resources, ad infinitum. The net result is a whole army of people who's expressed goal is to help people but who's effect is to send needy people into a loop of endless communication. We'd all be better off if they all quit and helped out at a soup kitchen, volunteered to visit with house-bound elderly, or something similarly physical and real. (This is in part driven by an individual need to "scale". We praise this desire to "change the world", but we pay no heed to the cost when ONLY world-changing action is praised.)

There are a lot of other contributing factors too. If a potential reader pre-assumes bias from the report, they may just choose not to invest the time. It's the same way bad faith political discussions play out with people making assumptions about the stance of a person voting the opposite way.
