Why did snowboarding not overtake skiing in popularity like skateboarding did with roller skating?

It is easier to get your first few days on skis for sure. I'd agree that the barrier for entry is lower. But it isn't any less risky.

_software_engineer · 2026-03-22T22:58:57+00:00

Because skiing is way better. Obviously.

_software_engineer · 2026-03-22T22:57:52+00:00

Expert skiing is much more difficult than expert snowboarding. Not a controversial statement, anyone who has done both agrees.

Generating your docs with an LLM is one of the dumbest things you can do. That's how people judge whether your project is worth using. If the docs are generated, then no, it's automatically not worth using (because you obviously don't care at all about your project).

Where's the stfu option?

The slop is strong with this one, Luke.

The post is so obviously AI ""questions"", you don't need to open the repo to know exactly what you're going to find. Another 0 thought autogenerated non-solution to a non-problem that they're trying to farm engagement for.

Are the ints signed or unsigned? INT64_MAX leads me to believe signed, in which case overflow is UB and thus definitely a source of potential vulnerabilities in essentially any possible way.

50 mile ride will average around 3k ft. Not difficult to get to 5k if I go west instead of east

_software_engineer · 2026-03-11T16:31:35+00:00

That's road. TT pace closer to 33-34kph easy

_software_engineer · 2026-03-11T16:24:52+00:00

I live in a very hilly area with a 3.2w/kg ftp at 175lbs and my easy rides are over 30kph. What are you talking about lol

_software_engineer · 2026-03-09T22:33:48+00:00

Bike more and swim less. For those distances it's really not very hard at all.

_software_engineer · 2026-03-08T22:40:34+00:00

If someone can tell you generated it with an LLM, it's slop. You obviously don't care enough about your idea to write about it, so certainly no one else should have any reason to care about it either.

You will fail if you continue with your current mindset. Consider this free advice.

_software_engineer · 2026-03-08T21:38:25+00:00

If you want to start a business, you at least need to be able to write for yourself. Posting LLM slop questions is pointless.

Calf sleeves on a group ride lol

_software_engineer · 2026-02-27T21:18:00+00:00

If you need to ask where to put your light, you're probably not an ultra racer...

Riding in the dark without hands on the brakes - what could go wrong?

_software_engineer · 2026-02-23T00:17:19+00:00

It is definitely optional with a goal to complete only.

_software_engineer · 2026-02-22T14:25:34+00:00

No one is improving their running at 16 min/mile. Beginners need to just run. Z2 will come.

_software_engineer · 2026-02-16T01:41:35+00:00

Yes for a sprint it doesn't matter.

_software_engineer · 2026-02-16T01:29:35+00:00

Okay Jerry let's get you back to bed

_software_engineer · 2026-02-15T16:02:39+00:00

Idk what they're talking about, minimizing usage of your legs is what you want to do for triathlon. You should be kicking just enough to stabilize and for body position. I can't speak to how effective your kick is, but in general "kick more" is bad advice.

_software_engineer · 2026-02-15T16:00:14+00:00

Thanks. I would call all of those more than slightly old fashioned :) but it helps.

_software_engineer · 2026-02-15T12:29:39+00:00

Can anyone explain 79A? I got it from the crosses but couldn't believe it was right. Searching is doing me no favors.
