Completely different experience though, since RAAM is a supported race, a very different kind of suffering. The Trans Am is a more comparable one (though still a race): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trans_Am_Bike_Race

I often do ultra races, always trying to be at the pointy end. I have all the training, and all the fancy equipment you could possibly imagine. Doing something of the magnitude of this article though still scares the hell out of me. Every y

I'm going through the same path right now, building my own product, and while I do indeed feel like it taught me tons, I don't want lessons, I want to get a business off the ground!

Fun fact: a previous company I worked for denied my request for a 4-day workweek precisely because they were scared I'd work another job. I honestly just wanted more time to ride my bike.

I worked on some of these systems as well. Credit card details haven't been sent by emails for many many years, and I believe the last fax Booking ever sent was somewhere in 2018 or 2019, the whole fax system was decommissioned. By the

Very long, relatively easy rides, for the most part. In summer that's 6 hour rides or longer at a conversational pace, in winter it's 3 or 4 hours on Zwift. Sometimes I do threshold work (because it's more fun than Zone 2 all

I've been competing in ultra-distance bike races since 2020. In April this year, I decided to take a break from work and see how well I could do if I dedicated one year to training. I chose the Race around the Netherlands in 2024, the

As a matter of fact, at a previous job we used traces as a data source for event sourcing. One use case: we tracked usage of certain features in API calls in traces, and some batch job ran at whatever frequency aggregated which users were u

I left B.com in early 2020, and they had been using Kubernetes for newer services (I actually worked on the deploy tooling), but until I left nothing of consequence had been moved to containers yet. The overwhelming majority of their worklo

I wonder how many websites publish JSON feeds though. I don't recall ever coming across one, or maybe have I just not been paying enough attention?
13.
by juliogreff 6y ago
Not all sites that offer feeds actually put the appropriate link tag (things that come to mind: youtube channels, reddit, a lot of wordpress blogs, ...), which is extra annoying. It actually takes a lot of heuristics to be able to say with

To me this would be the way to go. I'm not really sure how all you people sort out visa situations long-term.

22 yo here, recently dropped out of college. I cannot tell you what to do, but I can tell what difference dropping out made to me. To give some context: I lived in a small city in Southern Brazil, and I've been programming professional

You got a point. About the features to come, I have to disagree with you tough. We didn't disclose on the page what features we're going to include, so I don't blame you. On the top of our list, there's pubsubhubbub (so

Not yet, but we wouldn't be opposed to implement it if there's enough demand. It may take a while though, as we have other priorities atm.

We're planning to add a webapp for mobile very soon, right after we fix the issues that invariably will pop up from the launch. We'll be avoiding native apps for now. Offline reading is also on our plans, if that's important

Could you elaborate about the downsides? It'll be good to have an opinion from somebody living in Berlin.

by juliogreff 13y ago
I've always dreamed of moving to Berlin. I'm even learning German. But I'm not sure if getting a job in one of the startups there is the way to go for me. Would it be too difficult to open my own company?

by juliogreff 13y ago
I would definitely move to Berlin. It's not only a great city from what I've seen, but it seems it's becoming a startup hub as well. SoundCloud, Wooga and CloudControl come to mind. Santiago also looks like a great place to g

I see Lector [1] mentioned on this poll. That's nice! We haven't launched yet (our schedule says we should launch this week), but I can give free accounts (until we launch) for people interested in trying it out. Just let me know!
