I looked it up and running slowly at a 12 minute per mile pace is about 8 METs, and vacuuming might be around 4 METs so that doesn’t seem to be true.

Also running tends to be more repetitive and pounding on the joints which requires more recovery time than simply vacuuming. I’ve never heard someone get injured vacuuming but I know dozens of people injured from running.


You forget that METs have time in the denominator, so half the MET for twice the time is equivalent.

A mile of slow running is ~11 minutes.


Luke, if you want to interactively run commands like “find” like you are used to, you can run: “docker exec -it my_container bash”

Though there are many reasons why you wouldn’t want to go in and delete a file since that won’t persist or be reproducible.


Another option is to do margin borrowing on some investment assets that you have. Because it is a secured loan the interest rates are much cheaper than credit cards. Schwab has a good set up, it can be configured to automatically do a loan if you withdraw more funds from your checking account than you have. They currently charge about 12% but there are other options around 6%.

My friend used this set up for his emergency fund since he felt like it would be better to earn an investment return and take a loan in an emergency instead of sitting around having your money earn minimal amounts in a checking account.


Yes, borrowing on margin is a really good strategy, although it depends on your broker how that functions. I've had a good experience using this for smaller amounts, but given market volatility I'm concerned about borrowing this large of a sum on margin, as I don't know what clown stuff is going to happen in the next 6 months, a credit card feels lower risk to me, although the interest rate is higher. I actually considered this, using a credit card will cost me $530 in additional interest over taking margin, but has lower risks in my estimation. That $530 is not enough for me to feel it's worth it to do it via a margin loan.

That said, margin is really useful as a tool because it lets you unlock the value of your investments without tax penalties in lower volatility markets.


I would have just had the slider move in increments of $0.10 or $0.05.

If I was a user, I might be confused why the increment is not consistent across the whole range.


There are plenty of things I did outside when growing up that kids could still do: invent sports (we had one involving a hockey net and a koosh ball), bike around the neighborhood, have a water fight, go to the pool, play capture the flag, ghost in the graveyard, jump on a trampoline, go to the ride scooters, play basketball, play with sidewalk chalk, etc


All of This! And shout outs to the Ghost in the Graveyard! We also had "Survival Masters." A whole neighborhood (or multiple adjacent, if you can organize that many youths) affair with everyone in two teams, a single safe area, but it is still, at its core, "Tag After Dark." Strats, tactics and patterns emerged, soft skills, team building, athleticism, they were all on show here. As was the neighbor 's tolerances for youth running through and hiding in their properties.


That sounds useful. My company tends to work out of Slack, so having it interface that way would be cool.


Yeah I tried to watch the first demo video, but it wasn’t clear to me the problem that this solves and why this is better than some alternatives. It really needs a 60 second elevator pitch.

I don’t know how versions being coordinates in space helps me solve any of my problems.


Yeah, at least in this post the OP talks about the technical details, but if they are not explaining what the purpose of the product is, and why users would use it, I could see that getting rejected.


That's a really interesting metaphor. I worked with Dan years ago.

It seems like the talk was at CraftCon 15 and called "Beyond Features: rethinking agile software delivery with Dan North".

I couldn't find it, but I found a similar talk he gave at a meetup that discussed surgery: https://youtu.be/EoJFWdhv8q0?feature=shared&t=1564 or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lz5HBtDl-1A
