Completely different experience though, since RAAM is a supported race, a very different kind of suffering. The Trans Am is a more comparable one (though still a race): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trans_Am_Bike_Race
I often do ultra races, always trying to be at the pointy end. I have all the training, and all the fancy equipment you could possibly imagine. Doing something of the magnitude of this article though still scares the…
I'm going through the same path right now, building my own product, and while I do indeed feel like it taught me tons, I don't want lessons, I want to get a business off the ground!
Fun fact: a previous company I worked for denied my request for a 4-day workweek precisely because they were scared I'd work another job. I honestly just wanted more time to ride my bike.
> I now understand that a rewrite carries with it a huge amount of various risks and that people are biased to overestimate the costs of the ugly stuff they see in the old application and underestimate the risks of…
I worked on some of these systems as well. Credit card details haven't been sent by emails for many many years, and I believe the last fax Booking ever sent was somewhere in 2018 or 2019, the whole fax system was…
Very long, relatively easy rides, for the most part. In summer that's 6 hour rides or longer at a conversational pace, in winter it's 3 or 4 hours on Zwift. Sometimes I do threshold work (because it's more fun than Zone…
I've been competing in ultra-distance bike races since 2020. In April this year, I decided to take a break from work and see how well I could do if I dedicated one year to training. I chose the Race around the…
As a matter of fact, at a previous job we used traces as a data source for event sourcing. One use case: we tracked usage of certain features in API calls in traces, and some batch job ran at whatever frequency…
I saw this worded as "you play like you practice", many years ago: https://signalvnoise.com/posts/3504-you-play-like-you-practi... It mentions how people that took self-defense classes would hand a gun back to their…
I left B.com in early 2020, and they had been using Kubernetes for newer services (I actually worked on the deploy tooling), but until I left nothing of consequence had been moved to containers yet. The overwhelming…
I wonder how many websites publish JSON feeds though. I don't recall ever coming across one, or maybe have I just not been paying enough attention?
Not all sites that offer feeds actually put the appropriate link tag (things that come to mind: youtube channels, reddit, a lot of wordpress blogs, ...), which is extra annoying. It actually takes a lot of heuristics to…

22 yo here, recently dropped out of college. I cannot tell you what to do, but I can tell what difference dropping out made to me. To give some context: I lived in a small city in Southern Brazil, and I've been…
This has been requested a thousand of times already, and we're listening. It's on the top of our list. We're dealing with some problems about feed data right now, but as soon as they're fixed we'll start working on it.
You got a point. About the features to come, I have to disagree with you tough. We didn't disclose on the page what features we're going to include, so I don't blame you. On the top of our list, there's pubsubhubbub (so…
Not yet, but we wouldn't be opposed to implement it if there's enough demand. It may take a while though, as we have other priorities atm.
We're planning to add a webapp for mobile very soon, right after we fix the issues that invariably will pop up from the launch. We'll be avoiding native apps for now. Offline reading is also on our plans, if that's…
We're now finishing the interface to properly manage your subscriptions. Should be online within a week or so. About the feeds, the updates are taking a little longer than expected, it's around 15 to 20 minutes now. HN…
Thank you for your opinion, I'll take that into consideration.
