High-intensity exercise is obviously good, but beware of the trap of doing just high intensity exercise and doing it too frequently - the body does not handle that amount of stress particularly well, and it will be counterproductive to your health.

Low intensity exercise that holds your aerobic base is vital as well - and for a well-rounded exercise week, it should constitute the majority of your exercise time.

That is not to say that you should neglect higher intensities, it's just that you cannot do them as often due to the disproportionate amount of fatigue they generate.


Interval training also seems like a great way to burn out and make yourself dread the thought of exercise.

Other than for elite athletes tuning specifically for bursty competitions, interval training is such an unnatural torture that I do not understand the appeal. Even if the dubious popular claim that it is a short cut to optimal fitness might be partly true, I would much rather have an hour or two fun cycling or light running and exploring than 10 minutes of interval agony.


There is a constant stream of pop-science/lifestyle-advice articles advertising HIIT as a way to save time on exercise along the lines of "this smart technique, developed by a Japanese scientist will make you as fit as someone who exercises 8 hours a week with just 4 minutes per day!". Search for "Tabata" if you are curious. So a lot of those, who find regular exercise too hard, try HIIT as a replacement.

I have a domain and a contact email address for that domain that I have exclusively used through GMail, I guess this means I need to figure out a different path forward for that, then?

Since you planned ahead, it should be as simple as getting a new provider and updating the MX record. If you are looking for suggestions, I'm on Fastmail's $50/year plan and quite happy with it.

Good thing they are reminding you to get out of Gmail for real

It's not an easy task! I had mine account since gmail beta, so much stuff is going through it.

Two years ago I moved to Fastmail(they're great), and pretty much setting up an alias per site/purpose. While I'm happy to see that gmail receives less & less, I still have about 150 entries in 1password that say @gmail.com... maybe one day...


I switched to migadu which was not too painful for a single account (basically the advice was to put both accounts in thunderbird and then move everything over, thunderbird does the work). For email very happy with the provider, notably also as it allows infinite domains.

But I miss a proper calendar which migadu is strangely mostly lacking (basic caldav only). Is fastmail better in this respect? And can you do wildcard emails and send/receive as whichever name you want with fastmail? E.g. I have it set so every email which comes to xyz@domain.com arrives in my single inbox (so not catchall but all with a certain letter combo) and use this to have custom emails for every site.


Just do email forwarding and progressively update your accounts?

Yeah, I'd say it's this easy, but it just takes a very long time to get confidence on it being ready enough.

It's a very easy task. Move your stuff and accounts to a different provider in the pace you prefer, and set gmail to forward to the new provider. Keep your gmail account around as a haunted house for the occasional messages that can only come through that way.

Compare it to somebody who eats fast food every day. They can start eating healthy instead, but it doesn't mean that they are never allowed to eat fast food again, or even once per week if so be.


I know! I got my own domain and it probably took me over a year to be confident that no important email was getting to me though my gmail handle I had been using since 2004

Same, although I have multiple domains

Are you looking at a real mailbox provider, or trying to keep Gmail somehow?


This is actually wrong, it was never QT. It was however not built with web technologies back in the day

>Unfortunately on MacOS it seems you have to use Amazon's app to access the filesystem.

I can recommend using a Filebrowser plugin for KOReader, that way you can access the file system over a web interface and upload that way. No cables needed or anything, quite convenient.


The latest generation paperwhite (“PW6”) and color readers use MTP rather than acting as mass storage devices.

I use OpenMTP rather than Amazon’s software, and that works fine for me.


Adopting interactive rebasing along with curating my commits for the benefit of the reviewer has been the best upgrade I've made to my git usage in probably the last five years.


Pricing, presumably


Radical concept: you could provide UBI in the form of housing, food and transportation


Food and transportation is extremely cheap nowadays. Big bag of rice is couple dollars and a bicycle is a 100$.

Oh, people don't want affordable food but a 20-buck burrito and a 100k truck of ridiculous size?


If your city is bikable, that's terrific!


What's happens to the price of construction when the state suddenly commissions millions of homes?


It plummets. Standardizing the building process and building at scale unlocks some major efficiencies.

Were you under the impression that it would be the opposite?


when each home is a cardboard shack?


Municipalities have far-reaching power in deciding what gets built where. Getting things built can take quite a long time.


I think the reason behind using React and JavaScript is simpler - these tools are heavily vibecoded, and React/JavaScript is what was most present in the training data and as such is what the models excels the most at generating.

The crappy laggy UIs have the same root cause - heavy use of vibecoding with lackluster quality processes


vibe coding is barely a year old, this trend is older


Books3 is public data on the internet in the same way that the Claude code source code is public data on the internet.

Except Anthropic published the Claude code source code themselves, while Books3 was not published by their original authors.
