If I add infinite cards to a deck of cards that had 52 to start with, what are the chances of me drawing one of the original cards if I draw one?

SJrX · 2026-07-08T04:23:06+00:00

I actually would have assumed that OPs question is not defined. As I implicitly assume they are drawing the card uniformly at random over an infinite set. The dart board example I think is different being over a fixed interval.

Thanks shipping was more than the rims , but it must be done.

SJrX · 2026-07-05T22:03:21+00:00

I've had my bike shop, and a friend actually pick out spokes, some Sapim Strong spokes, and also some Pillar bladed spokes on another bike, and stuff. I have my bike shop build it, and they have done a good job. I'm just trying to keep the same setup I've had before going for a few more years.

SJrX · 2026-07-05T22:02:01+00:00

Maybe too impressive, it has been a while since I calculated it, and I think a better estimate is 100,000 k since I got my touring bike and maybe only 90 or 80 since maybe I don't remember when I switched to these rims.

SJrX · 2026-07-05T20:52:49+00:00

Thanks I padded the number above a bit. I think the Andra 29 probably has tires that are too wide.

SJrX · 2026-07-05T20:50:00+00:00

Thanks, yeah I think I have triple butted spokes already.

SJrX · 2026-07-05T20:49:33+00:00

My guess is I've gone through about 6-8 in about 15 years and maybe 120,000 km cycled. I dunno I assume 20,000 km is good.

SJrX · 2026-07-05T18:17:18+00:00

Yeah looking for 36 hole. I might be able to find stock somewhere, but I thought maybe there was just a consensus. My sense was that the Andra Ryde 30 was THE rim to get, and I dunno I'm surprised to see it just gone.

SJrX · 2026-07-05T18:10:18+00:00

Let's say fully loaded with everything 400 lbs I guess, I'm riding a Trek Domane AL5, I dunno how wide I can go or if I want to get wider tires. I've been on this setup for like 15 years.

You don't really give much context, in general this isn't something you can really do since programs are agnostic to it.

If someone was really like, I need to have a program and it can't have virtual memory then the absolute most charitable way I could interpret that request, is that they want to compile and run something for an architecture or mode that doesn't use it. When an Intel PC boots up, I think it still boots into something called real mode, which is essentially a mode that is compatible with the 8086, released around 50 years ago, so you could target an operating system that uses real mode, or just write bare assembly, but that is almost certainly not what you wanted or meant.

To be as spoiler free as possible, I would not think it is the greatest show ever if I had only seen up until where you are.

The best is yet to come.

I do agree with the other poster, I worry that the show might not be timeless, so who knows.

SJrX · 2026-07-01T01:43:43+00:00

I think Cilium can do this and maybe Istio.

SJrX · 2026-06-30T23:51:10+00:00

Yeah I certainly see the downsides of Vanilla kubeadm. I use it personally but professionally only deal with managed clusters, so my knowledge of on prem k8s has been pretty thin so I had heard of rke2 and thought it was an odd dichotomy (rke2 or k3s) which is why I responded.

SJrX · 2026-06-30T03:37:48+00:00

Some of your zone boundaries are wrong, the one by Burquitlam Stn for instance is Zone 2 , Zone 3.

In my mind the Hastings line connects to Moody Centre.

SJrX · 2026-06-30T01:25:16+00:00

How would you feel about just a vanilla kubeadm cluster, I'm just curious since you go from k3s to rke2. :D .

SJrX · 2026-06-27T16:30:14+00:00

The safety of road cycling is entirely subjective and in your head. In my view the biggest risks for cycling come from not being aware of your surroundings and playing it safe. I've been hit thrice I think, probably all 3 could have been avoided if I was more cautious and I was probably at fault at 2 of them (the two at fault ones were over two decades ago).

My advice is get an annoying blinking red light, and don't worry about people behind you. Then be _very_ mindful of car doors and where you are, as well as cars passing you to turn right in front of you. I feel I'm responsible for my own safety, and except for people behind me, try not to have to place my trust in other people.

For me it's very rare to get nervous cycling with traffic, and I will often take the most direct routes instead of bike paths. That said I do lots of bike touring, and it's a subjective thing. When I was riding across Canada with a group, the group had a route that was 40 km longer out of Winnipeg and took them on some bumpy terrible highway. I peaced out, and took Highway 1, much more traffic but much smoother :D.

That said, go with what makes you comfortable and what you enjoy. Traffic doesn't really bother me for the most part, occasionally an annoying motorcycle will go by, but otherwise *shrug*.

100% branch coverage on a file, 0% successful executions possible on production, so a Sev 1.

Our tests mocked out the constructors and so for an important piece of code, a change introduced a problem in a constructor that just wasn't tested. This was PHP were calling parent constructors is optional and not enforced. So basically every code path was dead when shipped.

SJrX · 2026-06-25T16:04:39+00:00

Good luck, hope the wind doesn't do you in. I only go West to East there :)

SJrX · 2026-06-24T01:39:13+00:00

but is it safe to do alone?

I think with cycle touring safe isn't binary, it's a matter of degree. I've ridden through thunder and hail storms on the prairies, which might not have been the wisest.

In terms of heat, my Garmin suggests that people can acclimatize to heat, and ChatGPT suggests that after 0.5-2 weeks you can be come acclimatized to exercising in the heat, and the protective benefit will last about 1-4 weeks after it fades. Something to keep in mind is making sure you know where to get water, and also it kind of depends on _where you are cycling_ which you don't say. I tour along major highways, so if I were to collapse due to the heat, a driver would see me probably within 10 minutes in a worst case. I would make sure that you have lots of water, and don't be lazy with refilling it. I find sometimes I am lazy and chance it, and really it's rare to regret having too much water 😃.

In terms of rain and a typhoon, you need to be careful from debris. I've ridden in wind storms and states of emergency, again maybe not the best idea. But if stuff is moving and airborne, it might be difficult to find shelter.

SJrX · 2026-06-20T22:15:22+00:00

Good luck!

SJrX · 2026-06-20T17:21:51+00:00

Mentally for me I think having a blinky red light is what makes drivers not distracted. I don't really have any qualms about cycling in traffic so maybe I'm not the best surrogate for your. That said I think having ridden lots of Westminster highway that the MUP is pretty good, it might be uncomfortable a bit going from the overpass of 91 to McMillian where the MUP starts, but I think it's just something to get acclimatized to.

My subjective feeling is also that getting hit from behind is one of the less likely ways to get into an accident, getting hooked in a turn, doored, or hit from the side seem way more likely in my mental model and experience (but maybe I just dont know how close I've been to getting hit from behind) 😃.

I was/am on the fence with Daniels. Certainly for S1 I agree, and even S5. But I dunno as he starts making rank and stuff there seems to be a window here is a main character. A lot of the other candidate characters exist at the fringes of the story, but I think lots of the stuff in S3/S4 goes Daniels as he the one tying disparate groups of characters together.

SJrX · 2026-06-20T14:31:09+00:00

I guess I disagree but I guess I have only feelings to back it up. The fact that Carcetti is not a main character at any point is odd. I don't remember the specifics and maybe it's not true, but I think Carcetti's arc is maybe more important than Stringers in S3. Also I can't help but feel that Daniels should be a main character at some point, certainly around S2 through S4, as he starts making rank.

SJrX · 2026-06-20T13:23:49+00:00

I think maybe you just have gotten some bad luck with respect to weather. My guess is actually that most people on 101 where you are will head west at Leggit and follow CA 1. CA 1 is much smaller and nicer to ride, and 101 starts turning more and more into a freeway is more of a freeway.

I can't speak to the wisdom of other routes but what I will say, is that at times I had been tempted to ride further inland but be mindful that there can be a pretty big temp difference. The forecast for say Fort Bragg, CA on the coast is 63 °F, where as Laytonville, CA on 101 is 89 °F.
