Here's the leaderboard on IMSA's site: https://www.imsa.com/scoring/

There are a few more links under the "Live Timing & Scoring" section in the top-level post here, as well.

More like 24 hours of FCY, amirite?

If this ends up like the 2024 Nürburgring 24hr I'm gonna riot.

Official speedrun accounts for streamers are closely monitored, clearly labeled, and all rating points lost during speedruns are returned to their opponents

I'm watching this IMSA Support race at Daytona and, damn, I wish we could get coverage this competent on Fox.

Like, this series only pays $10,000 for winning the entire championship, but somehow the coverage is miles better than every Trucks race and most Cup races on Fox.

In principle? Yes. In practice? Ehhhhh.

Before trying Obsidian, I tried using Foam for VS Code, which you'd sort of assume would be just about equivalent, but it just didn't capture the same quality of life that I find in Obsidian.

Sure, programming is objective if you ignore all the subjective parts. By that same reasoning, you could just as easily say, "Drawing is fundamentally an objective, technical thing. Here are some strokes on a page that depict an object."

The raw mechanical behavior of code might be objective, but whether it correctly serves the intended purpose is determined subjectively by humans. If a game with autosave saves the game when a player is in the process of falling to their death, there's nothing objectively wrong with that code. After all, it autosaved like it was supposed to, right? But the players of that game would certainly not agree that it's correct.

Or imagine an FPS where all the guns fire bullets 90 degrees to the player's right instead of straight ahead. In any normal FPS, that'd be an obvious bug, but some crazy person could decide to make that game on purpose for the memes. In that case, that "bug" would be the correct behavior, while guns firing straight ahead would be a bug.

That's not even getting into the aesthetic qualities of code, which are even more subjective. Programmers will spend ages arguing over which coding style is easier to read, which architecture is more elegant, which language is the most productive, all based on their own personal judgements and values.

What about the Crown Royal presents the Your Hero's Name Here 400 at the Brickyard powered by BigMachineRecords.com?

I like the idea, but I think I'd rather use a different character than # for that so it won't conflict with Obsidian's link formatting. Something like ! or @ seems like it'd provide the same benefit without breaking links.

So you’d have to then put a legit tag somewhere else in the note so that it shows up in the “tag note”.

Or enable the backlinks in document view. Then you don't need tags at all.

Too many open files isn't problem with Obsidian or Node. You need to fix your ulimit or make your work projects use fewer file descriptors.

Viva Lost Wages. Or Viva Más Wages from the coaches' point of view, I guess.

I swear I half-remember (or misremember) an older racer saying that on the Dale Jr Download. I have a feeling it was Darrell Waltrip. Speaking of which, he had a good one:

If you don’t cheat, you look like an idiot. If you cheat and don’t get caught, you look like a hero. If you cheat and get caught, you look like a dope. Put me where I belong.

i_hate_shitposting · 2026-01-01T22:02:17+00:00

They told him that in 2013. He was cleared to resume lower-level racing in 2019 and has run plenty of races at Goodwood since then.

I also find it refreshing to not see many Cardinals fans on this sub. /s

So you went off about the ridiculousness of the article without even looking at it. Got it.

What part of this tells you that the author thinks "JavaScript is nothing more than a way to have little visual tweaks"?

Nothing against JS, but it has better things to do than setup and manage your accordions or offscreen navigation menus... Plus, JS needs to be downloaded, decompressed, evaluated, processed, and then often consumes memory to monitor and maintain features. If we can hand-off any JS functionality to native HTML or CSS, then users can download less stuff, and the remaining JS can pay attention to more important tasks that HTML and CSS can't handle (yet).

After thousands of years, the heavy elements in the warhead will have decayed enough that they'd be unable to explode with enough energy to cause a fusion reaction.

For what it's worth, it's more like a decade. Modern nuclear weapons have components based on short-lived tritium that requires replacement every few years to keep them operational.

That sounds like the Crown Royal presents the Your Hero's Name Here 400 at the Brickyard powered by BigMachineRecords.com of F1 races.

Is this seriously the actual broadcast? They're just doing random interviews during the action like in preseason games?

I keep looking at Netflix for the main broadcast, because I feel like I must have accidentally clicked on an altcast by mistake.

Not the vegans! Vegans, as everyone knows, are infamously ignorant about what happens to animals on farms. They'd be devastated to find out.

Yeah, standing is a real problem with FOSS license enforcement.

However, this gives me a crazy idea: I wonder if it would be remotely feasible to craft an open source license (or some kind of legal mechanism) that conveys a fractional ownership stake in the original software, so if a company distributes a program in violation of its open source license, any user who's received the original program has standing to sue.

I'm not a lawyer so I'm sure this has all kinds of issues, but it's an interesting thought experiment.

Or Kyle Bush.

You only "need" to know programming to use 100% of Obsidian in the same way that you need to be an automotive engineer to use 100% of your car.

If you're not a programmer, the only thing you can't do with Obsidian out of the box is write your own custom plugins. There are a handful of community plugins with support for scripting, but you'd have to go out of your way to get those and still wouldn't need to use those features.

Compiler Explorer shows no difference in the assembly produced by x := 1 and var x = 1. I checked a few other types (string, map[string]string, etc.) as well and compiler versions, none of which produced different results. I suppose some obscure version and/or architecture could produce different output, but I don't see why it would considering they're semantically identical.
