If you’re training right it never gets any easier, but you do get faster.

Having said that, most people when they first start can’t run slow enough to maintain a stable aerobic heart rate. The solution is alternating run / walk, building up to progressively more running between walk breaks.

As an example, right now I can maintain 11:00 mi / mile at, my threshold heart rate, where I can maintain a conversation, and feel like I can keep going indefinitely. So I run 80% of my runs at that speed, and the rest at faster speeds over shorter distances. Great.

But 2 years ago when I restarted running after a break, my aerobic pace was more than 13:00 / mile. That’s a problem because at that speed I can’t physically maintain the running mechanic. It breaks down. So the only options are to run faster than optimal, which means you’re not getting aerobic training (instead it’s anaerobic training); or to slow down into the walking mechanic.

Research suggests that slow running in the aerobic zone is the key to improving aerobic pace and endurance. And if that aerobic pace is not possible because of mechanics, then alternating run / walk is a good way to average out the heart rate.

Allegedly, Outlook doesn’t handle intermittent broken connectivity very well when you’re trying to configure it initially. Such as when your gateway is handing off between TDRS and the fricken Deep Space Network.

In Gentoo, you have to compile the kernel

This is not true any more. Gentoo provides sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel-bin as an option.

For me 1.0 only means that I’ve delivered the software to a paying customer.

Eh, the fucking cellular modems in my car that stream the camera data for training can be used to track me. Hell, the anti theft tracker that I paid money for can be used to track me.

Normally, if they’re gonna invade shit, they stage the invasion forces, meaning tanks and grunts, at least in the theater.

All I’ve heard about is two carrier groups, which is a lot, but it’s not going to invade anything. I also heard that one of the carriers deployed with broken shitters, so that’s got to be going great.

Maybe not exactly the same, but Bodhi Linux is an Ubuntu derivative that develops the Moksha desktop environment based on the Enlightenment window manager.

That painting should be old enough to be in the public domain. (Although photographs thereof get their own copyright terms.)

Just to be clear, the astronaut was cleared of wrongdoing, meaning there was no real space crime. The false report charge is an earth crime.

This was the very first time that a space crime was investigated.

For reference, Oklahoma has quite a history with alcohol prohibition. The state retained full prohibition until 1959, some 20 years after the 21st amendment and repeal of the Volstead Act.

Liquor by the drink, aka bars, were not legalized until 1984. Before then you had to pay a membership fee to join a “private club” where you could then have a bartender pour you shots out of “your” personal bottle that was kept behind the bar.

Oklahoma had 3.2 beer until 2018 when it was repealed by state referendum.

Not even. ed is The Standard Editor.

this department has sent our best and brightest officers to Harvard, hoping the university would better understand and appreciate our warrior class,

That’s, uh, not why DoD occasionally sends officers to Harvard and other elite universities. DoD does this because they want some of their officers to have high quality advanced degrees.

“It’s a bit scary to know that the most valuable private company in the world has your address and has shown up and has questions for you,”

That’s how “service of process” works. “Process server” is an entire career for people who figure out how to deliver legal documents to people personally.

They’ve had individual -bin versions of a few big builds, like firefox, chromium, and libreoffice for basically forever.

They had something called distcc for a long time too. That let you, the user, cross-compile packages on one machine for installation on different machine(s).

But at the end of 2023, they dramatically expanded the system, adding configuration machinery to install $packagename from source or binary (i.e. not like firefox and firefox-bin). And they set up the server infrastructure to host a much larger number of official binary packages for amd64 and arm64. Around the same time they added a “distribution kernel” as an ebuild, so users no longer had to “compile it yourself”. And I think the dist-kernel is now available as a binary.

Gentoo has optional binary packages now.

They’re all hat and no cattle.

Windows does, in fact, have signals. They’re just not all the same as Unix signals, and the behavior is different. Here’s a write-up.

You’re correct there is no “please terminate but you don’t have to” signal in Windows. Windowless processes sometimes make up their own nonstandard events to implement the functionality. As you mentioned, windowed processes have WM_CLOSE.

Memory access violations (akin to SIGSEGV), and other system exceptions can be handled through Structured Exception Handling.

Colombiana (2011) started its life as a sequel before it changed.

It was also common to have a single step mode, where the CPU advances one cycle per switch press. Very useful for debugging.

And you could frequently read out the contents of registers directly on rows of lights. This led to the trope of the blinky light computer in Star Trek (original series) and elsewhere. Because the lights would flash in various patterns when the computer was running, as the register contents changed. But in the single step mode you could interpret the values.
