Two of the best things for my mental health is maintaining a 7 day moving average of +10k steps and working out every Mon-Fri during lunch time.

You're ignoring all the depreciation costs.

I take 3 weeks in a row every summer, couldn't live without it.

English is a mix and merge of Norman French and Anglo-Saxon.

The x-ray scans are interesting, I didn't knew the canvas was taped together from 33 smaller ones.

It's not. I think it's just the wooden frame behind the canvas

You're right, it's the stretcher!

On: A soft robot has no problem moving with no motor and no gears

[world2vec]

There's this YouTube channel called "soiboi soft"[0] that is doing many experiments with air-powered soft robotics and microfluidics.

It's a pretty cool concept and might have interesting albeit niche applications.

I'm getting "Prompt is too long" a lot today

On: Show HN: Sundial – a new way to look at a weather forecast

[world2vec]

Very pretty. Would be cool if the Moon followed the real Moon phases (if the sky is clear enough to see it). For example April 2nd is full moon and the sky is clear so the Moon in your Sundial should be full too.

On: Claude Code's source code has been leaked via a map file in their NPM registry

[world2vec]

Did they remove that in some very recent commit?

[raesene9 → world2vec]

I think the original repo OP mentioned decided not to host the code any more, but given there are 28k+ forks, it's not too hard to find again...

On: Earthquake scientists reveal how overplowing weakens soil at experimental farm

[world2vec]

In my parents' farm the compost comes from cleaning up the forest around it (trim branches, vegetation, dying trees, etc) mixed with the chicken and goat manure plus whatever else gets mixed in there (food leftovers, ashes, coffee grounds, etc). Of course it's at a small-ish scale (less than 1 hectare) but my parents definitely don't denude 4 hectares to do so.
