Didn't Doyle support the White Feather movement, which led to many suicides?



can anyone recommend a cheap but good bike computer with turn-by-turn nav? (for mountain biking)


I found that the usual American brands for bike computers (Garmin, Wahoo) are more expensive than Chinese brands. If you think a Chinese company handling your ride data is an okay compromise I think the Coros Dura is quite wonderful, with longer battery life (100+ hours) than the competition too.



actually, i think i'll use an old android phone...

And avoiding putting stuff in your body that makes your immune system react like air pollution, microplastics, hyper processed foods


>And avoiding putting stuff in your body that makes your immune system react like air pollution, microplastics,

Good luck avoiding either of those. For the first one, if you live in a heavily industrialized or urban area and can't just leave for X reasons, should you perhaps breathe less?

As for microplastics, from all I've read about them, they're now in nearly everything and many modern humans who haven't spent their lives living and eating/drinking entirely off the land in the deep remote country are unavoidably saturated with them to the point where (need to find the source again) the average modern adult human in the developed world has something like a teaspoon worth of microplastic inside their body. They've become essentially impossible to avoid if you eat or consume any modern food item.


Exercise raises acute inflammation but lowers chronic inflammation



I've heard the zinc kind is less likely to leach bad chemicals into your blood stream. is this true?


I don't know if its been conclusively proven yet, but the more natural zinc sunscreens (not all zinc sunscreens are that natural, some of it is marketing) have mostly zinc (and a bit of some other stuff of course), while some of the chemical ones have an impressively long list of random chemicals. On that basis I personally believe a zinc sunscreen is less likely to have future unknown side effects.


Avoid nano zinc and yes, it sits on the surface. The chemical ones absorb into your skin.


It's all very safe; certainly safer than sunburns.


Don't know if it's allowed here, but I'm selling my PC Engines APU2 if anyone is interested :)

It has OpnSense installed, but you can install anything you want

4GB RAM, 16GB ssd, wifi

didn't know Total Immersion was canonical, but I'm glad someone else thinks so!


heh, fair enough. I guess my considering it canon is mostly because of the elegance with which Laughlin explains the theory of everything.


Metabase is written in clojure, if you want to see the source code of a large web app

NASA's Common Metadata Repository is worth exploring too https://github.com/nasa/Common-Metadata-Repository

It is a neat example of how an org can structure and manage multiple projects and services in a single git repository. They've use Leiningen to achieve their objective.

> The Common Metadata Repository (CMR) is an earth science metadata repository for NASA EOSDIS data. The CMR Search API provides access to this metadata.

> Building and Running the CMR

> The CMR is a system consisting of many services. The services can run individually or in a single process. Running in a single process makes local development easier because it avoids having to start many different processes. The sections below contain instructions for running the CMR as a single process or as many processes.

(edit: add relevant context for quick reference)


wow I had no idea Nasa used Clojure. I do remmeber them using quite a bit of Java so it's not terribly surprising


Also: NASA used to use Common Lisp before


"Lisping at the JPL" is one of my favourite stories (all-time favourite, not just computery favourite).

> Debugging a program running on a $100M piece of hardware that is 100 million miles away is an interesting experience. Having a read-eval-print loop running on the spacecraft proved invaluable in finding and fixing the problem. The story of the Remote Agent bug is an interesting one in and of itself.


If you haven't heard it before, i'd recommend checking out this podcast episode - it's fantastic. https://corecursive.com/lisp-in-space-with-ron-garret/


I've heard it and I agree! Thanks for the re-up. Might give it a listen again :)


Sorry, what? Did you just say NASA uses Clojure?? That must be a pretty big honor for Rich.


Clojure(Script) apps and systems exist at a bunch of household name places.

Thanks for the shout! I recommend this video about our Clojure journey: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUe3slLHk20

The metabase "backend" is written in clojure.

The web frontend is written in TypeScript/React.
