Horry County Running: 7.00 miles, 00:09:17 average pace, 01:04:56 duration
beach run. i think it was around mile 4 where my leg and glutes had the piercing pain again. although my pace and HR did not really show it i was in a lot of pain. the following two days i took some ibuprofen which is very rare for me but i needed whatever inflammation on my ITB to ease a bit.

Fairfax County Running: 4.32 miles, 00:09:29 average pace, 00:41:01 duration
kept it easy since my left glute is a bit tight with some pain. just ran back and forth in the neighborhood hitting those rolling hills. nice chill to the air even though no rain. the pain was piercing and did not stop throughout the day. it helped to stand because sitting aggravated it more.

I finally found the NASM assembler.

https://nasm.us/index.php

I had heard that name before, many times, but somehow never looked into it. Weird. 🤨🤔

This is the kind of program I was looking for.

  1. It is free software. Especially in the DOS ecosystem, free/libre software is a very scarce resource.
  2. It’s a small command line program, not a huge behemoth.
  3. Documentation appears to be well written.
  4. It can even cross-compile DOS binaries from Linux.

Pinellas County - Easy: 4.83 miles, 00:08:46 average pace, 00:42:20 duration
went out easy. HR was around 149 until stopping for a traffic light. afterwards it was consistently mid- to high- 160’s. overall effort was still minimal, but maybe higher HR was due to the congestion i seem to have picked up the last couple of days?

Pinellas County - Easy: 7.00 miles, 00:08:35 average pace, 01:00:05 duration
i know the stats won’t scream easy, but as far as level of effort goes it completely was. it started off at a decent pace which was comfortable and at the first crosswalk my HR was 129. i did not check it again until the next crosswalk (~3 or 4 miles later) and it was 168 or 170. i just kept the same pace since my breathing, legs, and overall feeling still pretty comfortable and easy. no knee issues. this was a great boost in confidence.

I’m really bad at competitive programming. 🙄 For today’s #AdventOfCode puzzle, I spent an eternity trying to understand exactly what kind of bG9naWMgY2lyY3VpdAo= the puzzle input describes – I haven’t done that in well over a decade, so I made little progress. I knew right from the start that SSBoYWQgdG8gbG9vayBmb3IgY3ljbGUgbGVuZ3RocyBhbmQgdGhlbiBmaW5kIHRoZSBMQ00K. It just didn’t occur to me to just run my program on cGFydGlhbCBpbnB1dAo= and print those numbers. 🥴 I only did that after over 4 hours (including time to debug my nasty C code) and then, boom, solution …

GPT-4 wins chatbot lawyer contest – but is still not as good as humans

In-reply-to » @adi @prologic It's worth bearing in mind that

@prologic@twtxt.net I’ve had a Teracube phone for about 3 years now. Theirs comes with a guarantee of 4 years–if something that’s covered breaks, you send the phone to them and they fix it and send it back, or they send you a new one. I took advantage of that last year when the screen broke; their tech support even helped me figure out how to wipe the phone when the screen didn’t display anything. Pretty painless all around. Have to say I’ve been very happy with it. It doesn’t have the top-end features that new big company phones have, but I don’t want those features so that’s not an issue for me. I dunno if it’s available in Australia or if it’s just a US thing.

In-reply-to » Li-Fi, light-based networking standard released Today, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) has added 802.11bb as a standard for light-based wireless communications. The publishing of the standard has been welcomed by global Li-Fi businesses, as it will help speed the rollout and adoption of the  data-transmission technology standard. Where Li-Fi shines (pun intended) is not just in its purported speeds as fast as 224 GB/s. Fraunhofer’s Dominic Schulz points ou ... ⌘ Read more

A GTK 4 application showing an empty window uses about 160 MB of RAM:

$ wget https://movq.de/v/138ab3e622/win.c
$ cc -Wall -Wextra -o win win.c $(pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk4)
$ ./win

It also takes several seconds to start on my machine because it is compiling shaders and initializing DRI (it’s faster on the second run, unless you happen to lose ~/.cache/mesa_shader_cache/). This might be a hint as to why it’s using so much memory: There’s obviously much more going on behind the scenes these days, not just a little bit of internal housekeeping and then creating a window.
