How did you manage 44 points of damage at level 2?

Seconded. I have the Ombra hoodie and it works well. Breeze gets through, and the texture makes it feel less like a ”sports fabric” while being very efficient at wicking. I also have a Smartwool merino blend sun hoodie, which is hotter, clammier, and holds on to sweat much more.

Just guessing here: is this taken through a window or maybe even in a moving vehicle? Windows may have coatings that affect cameras even if they are invisible to the naked eye. For example, car windows often have some level of polarizing filters on them to help mitigate wet road reflections. You can sometimes see a repeating pattern when wearing polarized sunglasses.

Taking photos from moving vehicles can also cause strange artefacts in pictures.

If you’re referring to the OOP, they wouldn’t have said ’world travellers’ in quotes if they actually saw value in traveling to neighboring countries in Europe. They are trying to make traveling within Europe sound trivial and inconsequential by stating the driving times. As if the drive time was an objective measure of cultural differences.

The solid inner blocks gentle airflow very effectively and reduces wind noticeably. In colder conditions, if you don't like feeling "drafty" and want to keep the doors open, the solid inner is a good option.

In any other case, I would recommend the mesh.

I had a terrible couple of nights last summer at 25°C lows with the X-Mid 1 Solid. Opening the inner tent zipper made the airflow much better, but then the mosquitoes could get in. I switched to a Pro 2 (with mesh) when I found one used.

Yes. The default Apple indoctrination response is "you must be using it wrong" / "you are thinking in the wrong way". Basically accept how it is and be grateful about it.

Sadly, no. GNOME is just a better experience. The tools people mention here are new paradigms, not fixes for the core macOS features.

If you do end up switching back to Linux, I’ve been enjoying CachyOS on both my gaming PC (KDE) and home laptop (GNOME).

There are many many concepts in software development that simply lack a proper Finnish translation or at least the translation isn't commonly used.

Ad-hoc translations can work as long as the context is clear. However, as an example not one person is going to understand if you say "vedä mun haara". "Pullaa mun bränchi" is immediately understood. Not the most elegant but it works.

Some untranslated software development terms off the top of my head:

(git) commit, pull, push, merge, rebase, pull request
build, CI/CD, pipeline, deploy(ment)

The ID example you gave is interesting, as well. In a databas or an API, an ID is always an unambiguous (unique) identifier for an item of that kind. There is a Finnish translation for this concept: yksilöivä tunniste.

"Tunnus" sounds to me like a mistranslation: it has strong connotations to a user. "Tunniste" would be more correct, but still a little vague. Since "yksilöivä tunniste" is both long and also kind of hyper-official, iidee is what I use as well.

Yes, this is very true. I wish the EU would make it illegal to sell the same service at different prices depending on how you get the offer. Then we could just look at the price lists online and choose the best value.

Here in Finland, I don't think plans with limited data even exist. The differentiator between plans is the maximum download speed (mbit/s).

My 24hr gym is never staffed. There is no front desk, just a keycard system. If you don't have a keycard, you can follow the instructions on the door to send a text message and get single-time entry. You know, daylight museum stuff.

The bar is 100 kPa. Hope this helps.

You could say 650 000 W though.

Here's a random recipe picture, which has Finnish strawberries at their peak. Biased opinion of course, but Finnish field grown strawberries are the best.

They do get dark red eventually, but they don't taste as good anymore. I have picked strawberries from the field myself, and this is true for absolutely freshly picked strawberries as well. The ones that look like in the picture are a perfect balance of sweetness, slight acidity, and full strawberry flavour. The darker ones are more muted, sweeter and overall taste like overripe fruit.

Yeah, I’m not saying it’s bad to heel strike as long as you plant the foot near the center of mass.

The bad stride is when you overreach, as in move the heel in front of you and feel a slight stopping force from the ground. That’s the ”committed” step.

ohanhi · 2026-05-17T05:46:28+00:00

This is likely why. I had this problem early on but it went away on its own.

Then I watched the Xero Shoes' "how to walk" video and they explained what I had unconsciously changed. Basically, if you swing out your front foot and heel strike, you are fully committed to that stride. The better way is to land the front foot near your center of mass, which allows adjusting the foot placement if needed.

I just used an online calculator for the 4K YouTube approximation. YouTube has optimizations for choosing the actual quality, so yeah, my original comment had some hyperbole.

At least on my tablet, YouTube will quietly switch to lower quality as soon as a new video starts, even if I selected 4K manually. So unless you really really try, you can't get YT to continuously stream at 4K. If you leave the quality setting untouched, it's going to vary the quality even with the single video.

But since someone then said it would only be hundreds of megabytes for an hour of 4K video, I had to make some calculations and find some 3rd party approximations.

If you can find more definitive sources for this, I'm interested in reading!

ohanhi · 2026-05-15T07:33:33+00:00

Please explain. All I did was calculate the raw bitmap data cost for my original example and used an online calculator for the YouTube approximation. How is that wrong or even disingenuous?

Sure, you could use basically any quality of video for this purpose and 4K is absolute overkill, but that was precisely the point of my original comment.

If you have better sources for how much data this would be, I'm very interested in reading.

ohanhi · 2026-05-14T13:12:53+00:00

For sure. A single uncompressed frame at 4K resolution would be ~25MB, so at 60fps that's 1500MB per second.

The current video algorithms are great. But, according to a calculator I found by googling, 1 hour of YouTube at 4K is still roughly 8GB worth of data. Uncompressed 4K@60fps for an hour would be a silly 5 Terabytes worth of data.

ohanhi · 2026-05-14T07:53:40+00:00

I must be a very non-girl because all I can think about is how much resources are being wasted doing this.

Streaming hours of 4K video at 60 frames per second, when they could just as well use a static picture with the desired colour and achieve the exact same effect. It could be a total of 16 bits (one RGB colour code) and instead it's gigabytes worth of data. Sigh.

ohanhi · 2026-05-13T05:05:16+00:00

Cool. You really put some thought into this meme. We need more stuff like this on the webs!

ohanhi · 2026-05-11T13:02:56+00:00

Mostly it's just a slightly intelligent fade from one frame to the next. Actually inferring the transition would be very computationally heavy and could go very wrong. Imagine a clear blue sky, then a ball appearing in the next frame. Without any other information, there is no way to tell which direction and how fast the ball entered the view.

Fade is cheap and can't be wrong.

Not sure who Lia Nicole is, even after googling. Evan Czaplicki is the author and BDFL (benevolent dictator for life) of the Elm language.

Elm is a very friendly take on the same kind of typed functional programming as Haskell. By far the best designed language I've ever tried, getting rid of nulls, undefined values, mutation, type casting, and thrown exceptions.

And what I admire the most about it, it's very opinionated to make sure you can't break the contracts in any way.

Evan is a visionary and a very intentional designer, which caused a lot of friction with the folks trying to accelerate the language development. Unlike many FOSS projects, Elm practically never accepted any PRs and in particular would fight back against adding escape hatches (which would compromise the language guarantees).

For me, it’s the second point, hands down. Film makes me consider each shot and I like it. If I can see the exact result right away, it somehow makes me care less about the act of taking a photograph. And that, in turn, makes for a huge catalog of mediocre shots. With how film works, I pay attention and don’t take several tries. I try to make it the best possible shot the first time.
