Running barefoot forces you to improve your technique in line with this description. [0] There's also a sizeable market of "barefoot shoes" that's between being barefoot and the regular running shoes, with the manufacturers trying to convince us buying such shoes is the solution. The gait issue become more obvious (and painful) in barefoot shoes, but you can adjust your technique in mass-market running shoes as well.

I first found out about this back when Chris McDougall's "Born to Run" book came out. For anyone that does not know, he follows an Indian tribe in Mexico known for their running prowess, using non-traditional sandles to run in instead of the heavily padded sneakers most of us wear.

I switched briefly around that time to running in vibram five fingers, which trained me how to change my stride and stop heel striking. I no longer wear VFFs but do tend to favor lightweight, minimal heel-drop sneakers, and I still don't heel strike.


I'm not sure you can run with appropriate gait (stop heel striking) in modern mass market running shoes. The heels on many running shoes are 2 inches+ and make it just impossible to avoid heel striking without wasting a lot of motion picking your knees up.

Also, the chances of twisting your ankle when your heels are elevated that much from the road is far higher as well.


Best marathon runners can do it in "conventional" running shoes [0], but I agree it's easier to find the better technique barefoot or in barefoot shoes.

But the Gateway API has only been generally available for two years now. And the last time I checked, most managed K8S solutions recommend the Ingress API while Gateway support is still experimental.


We also now have multiple full featured Ingress implementations that work better than the old nginx-ingress


You can still get hit by a path traversal exploit. The safest option is to only have the public files on the server.


A path traversal is different from putting private files in a public directory. For a simple static site there will always be certs, /etc, and other things outside of the document root that shouldn’t be served.


There's this 6.1 inch phone, now stop complaining.


Not any more - nowadays being aero is more important and that adds quite a bit of weight. And disc brake sets are also heavier than brake pads used to be.


The UCI weight limit still seems to be in place. Disc brakes have been allowed since 2018 it seems.


It is, but the minimum weight is harder to achieve with the extra weight of the disc brakes...


The Specialized Aethos shows it's not hard to achieve at all. These are regularly built up to less than UCI minimums.


Agreed.


Heat adaptation is a thing.


A democratic government can set up an independent emergency response organization that doesn’t need government involvement to declare and respond to an emergency.


For holders if a particular political ideology, inherent government incompetence is a deeply embedded meme that wont be undone by a single counterexample. Any example of competence has to be attached to cost to salve the cognitive dissonance.


Based on DORA research it's correlated with the engineering team/company being a high-performer.


The "Accelerate" book claims it is not just correlation but even causation: Higher deployment frequency causes better company performance.


Given that its trivially easy to produce unbounded amounts of useless PRs this cannot be a causation.


That's kind of what I was feeling. There is nothing that really keeps someone from just making BS tiny PRs


You can build the first pipeline with oneliners, but as long as you want to keep optimizing the pipelines, the yaml code will keep piling up with CI vendor's specific approaches to job selection, env variable delivery, caching, output sharing between jobs and so on.


Kinetic energy increases with the square of the velocity, so in a head-on collision everything not buckled on the back seat becomes a missile heading towards the passenger seats. Even a bag with a laptop is dangerous and you should put it in the foot compartment. And that's like 3kg while an average person will weigh around 70kg.
