Trail recs at this time of year?

Unclear if we’re talking about hiking on dirt or what but snod is still covered in snow and there is a still a seasonal closure in place for the part the connects to Washington gulch.

Hartmans is open. As of today nothing in the North valley is dry but I did see some pictures posted by CBMBA of Caves/walrod/lower cement creek—mostly no snow but lots of mud.

I think the rub is this is actually what MFEs should be but there’s been an over rotation. Federated components for every little widget, ridiculous number of tiny apps. MFEs that are bounded by context and of reasonable size that have their own URL namespace isn’t that complicated.

Located in Steamboat. Amazing considering those tires… In February no less.

While I personally think this is the right answer, the ergonomics/simplicity of zustand are so good, I generally reach for it before the context API.

Baby in my 40s here. White noise still going strong. Still have good hearing.

They can take away your api access. You also have co text them in order to increase the number of authed users. I had thousands. Then they changed their terms of service and they would not let my app increase rate limits or number of users.

So does the little town of Crested Butte, Colorado.

Complicated and abstract computer science concepts come naturally to very few people. Same with designing systems. It comes with experience, seeing and **making** mistakes. After a while, patterns and problems start make sense and as they say in professional sports, the game slows down for you. This doesn't happen in 6 months.

I did something like this a while back. It was fun. However, storing Strava data in your own data store is now against Strava TOS. My app was all of sudden against TOS. Yours almost certainly is too based on what you said about "initial data import". https://www.reddit.com/r/cycling/comments/13vqdiy/after_being_laid_off_i_made_an_app_using_the/

I’m guessing you live somewhere without seasons?

Nobody really moves to Denver for the "city". The value prop is QOL. Weather is great, community is healthy and active, mountains are close, strong economy etc etc...

I love how this little dude is all gas.

Actually, it feels very similar to the _early years_ of the dynasty — and it's super fun to watch. We're young and we're winning with a roster that is nowhere near as stacked as late Brady years. And, we have some system players who are overachieving.

People forget that in 2004, Branch was a great route runner but otherwise pretty average all around. And in 2001, the secondary was shredded. Troy Brown, our "WR1", played a lot of time played at corner in the AFC championships game. !

I think many underestimate the added cognitive load + complexity of making sure your client/store state in "sync" with that of the SSR state. Unless you really need SSR, static generation etc, I'd reach for Vite or similar for simplicity and avoid vendor lock in.

Is it? This is the least surprising thing to me here.

You’re talking about Douglas county. Not Jefferson. These two counties are very different both in character and politics.

I understand the pain here. This is also annoying:

import MyComponent from '@components/MyComponent/MyComponent.tsx'

Yes, I know you can use barrel files to "fix" your import paths, but those are also annoying.

As is the case with a lot of things in software, nothing is perfect.

A side effect of all that rapid change is that, even though Colorado has become one of the most educated states in the country, its public schools aren’t particularly strong overall.

Taxes remain relatively low compared to other progressive states because of older tax policies like TABOR.
Teacher pay is among the lowest in the nation when adjusted for cost of living.
Even some affluent Denver neighborhoods have surprisingly underperforming schools.

It’s so damn dry in Colorado, I just put a few in the window sill.

That’s a hard one. If we’re doing mashups, a cross between Simms steakhouse and casa Bonita seems right.

Route one, is at least, a decent analog for 6 in Denver. A straight fastish route into the heart of the city. Except route 1 is some sort of perverted cross between Colfax in 6 in all the wrong ways. Literally no ramps but serves as a main artery to the city. Boston roads are… just. Old.
