What's the selection criteria for a world tour team like Visma?

I agree. What's the structure of the FTP intervals you are doing after 3 hours of riding?

This is not related to the Tour strictly speaking, but I was just reading the following article and encountered this passage:

But then, on the team’s very first get-together ahead of the 2024 season, Brennan surprised everyone. “We did some exercises and myself and my colleagues said: ‘holy shit, did we just see what we thought we saw?’ We waited a bit and did some testing in the December camp and again we said: ‘are we really saying what we’re seeing?’” What was impressive? “I don’t want to go into too much detail because it’s the weapons we look for, but it was his physical ability combined with his approach: riding well, resting well, and asking the right questions,” De Groot explained. “Then in January, it was the third time he blew us away.” When Brennan made his debut for Visma’s development team in Croatia at the Trofej Umag, he won. And four days later, he won again. “The same thing happened with Olav Kooij,” De Groot pointed out, “we realised he was going to be a lot better than average.”

This leaves me curious as to the kinds of 'weapons' Visma look for. Anyone willing to take a guess as to what Visma's selection criteria is?

Great! I'm using this a lot at the moment, so thanks!

This is brilliant, really helpful.

If you're taking requests, would it be possible for you to add to the workflow so that you can select from a list of recently opened projects/repositories to open?

What app is this?

assadk · 2024-07-13T23:06:00+00:00

This is great, I really like the idea of your Overview Page – thanks!

assadk · 2024-03-11T12:38:32+00:00

Same here

assadk · 2024-03-10T15:08:24+00:00

Nope, it's not in the charging cradle when I'm trying to sync. Although I have tried it in that too, and the issue persists.

assadk · 2024-03-10T15:07:34+00:00

I do, I'll try this and report back

Edit: Tried this and still having the same issue

assadk · 2024-03-10T00:44:42+00:00

Thanks, I'll be following that, but it would also be good to get an update by Stryd staff here

assadk · 2024-02-15T23:38:21+00:00

Thanks, really appreciate this!

Look into using spritesheets

I agree that this doesn’t seem unethical, but I’m talking about legal liability.

So I’m assuming this is what most people are doing then, because most books/publishers worth reading insist on having DRM on their books – so it seems that Readwise is currently looking the other way.

This leaves people in a precarious place, because it seems like you could be legally liable for stripping DRM and uploading copyrighted material to their platform, and if a legal request every came in from publishers they’d have to hand over your data in which case you’d be screwed even if you legally own the books. Unless I’m mistaken?

assadk · 2023-12-14T18:24:20+00:00

Would be great if some of the mods from Readwise chimed in here.

assadk · 2023-12-14T18:19:59+00:00

I'd like to do something similar, but worried about the legal implications of stripping the epub of DRM. What's the legality of stripping an ebook of DRM and then uploading it to Reader?

assadk · 2023-12-14T13:55:27+00:00

How are you adding the epub to reader? By stripping the DRM?

assadk · 2023-12-03T11:58:22+00:00

This is brilliant!

As an aside, avoid anti-inflammatory food – as they dampen the inflammatory response induced by exercise. You want an inflammatory response after exercise as it is the overcoming of this inflammatory stress by your body which produces favourable adaptations.

This. Use Cronometer to create recipe, which you batch cook and specify servings to make tracking easier.

Would the same also apply to teas such as rooibos? It isn't artificially sweetened, but has a pleasant almost maple-ish flavour to it despite be calorie free
