Darktable is fantastic, and their darktable-cli is really clutch as a photographer turned SWE.

If coming from lightroom or the likes it does take some dedicated learning to adapt to the "Darktable" ways of doing things. Deceptively similar UI, yet very different approaches and naming.

Darktable is however, bad at photograpy organization and collections. Something Lightroom shines at.

Built many processes around it for my own post-processing needs.

If you align your printer and desk just right, youll have the new cheatsheet sliding onto your desk before Claude's even done updating itself.

yes, the new normal is crazy. Claude/Github et al.

They are dogfooding their own tools and causing so much downtime, all in the spirit of "staying a head".

Same, emacs being the barrier for most.

Over my years working, I've never seen such a popular service with such a rainbow colored status page and frequent outages.

We know Anthropic is dogfooding claude for all its worth, and clearly they are working with a widespread set of issues.

Is this going to be the new normal, or is it simply clear it's not working well based on past measurements?

Openclaw is just that, it wakes on send and as cronjobs and get to work.

What made it so popular I think is that it made it easy to attach it to whatever "channel" you're comfortable with. The mac app comes with dictation, but unsure the amount of setup to get tts back.

These are some thicc glasses. We're getting close, but saying we're there of "regular" glasses is a stretch.

> Our mission is to understand fitness so you can achieve your athletic dreams. Recently, athletes have been gathering lot of data, but nobody has been able to fully leverage these sources to help people become more fit.

Strava has an entire data scientist dep devoted to analysing the captured data. They also publish a lot of their thinking around Relative Effort (RE) and other performance metrics.

Where do you differ?

I can't answer this for everyone, but as someone who has run 5 marathons and is running my 6th in 5 weeks (Frankfurt).

Boston has some kind of mythical status among marathoners. You're _not_ really there until you've qualified for Boston. I do not know where this comes from, but what I do know is that QUALIFYING for Boston as a male (33) is a BHAG that's fun to chase after.

Boston is the 6th of the 6 Abbot Marathon that are considered the "big" 6. New York, London, Chicago, Boston, Berlin and Tokyo. All the others you either win the lottery our you've 4 of the other ones. Nothing you can really do in 6 conseq years.

It's not even the fastest course, but it's the course for those who are "serious" about running as a hobby. Running a marathon isn't enough. Running Boston separates you from the try-hard crowd, with a lack of a better word.

The processing we're starting to do on the standard images on these phones are crazy. I'm always excited for the camera advancements in the phones, but always have to go hunting for an app that does exactly this.

I'm also surprised with the lack of mention of keycloak. It's been great to work with, and immediately curious how it would compare.
