Back when I was invested into todo lists and the Android task list app I was using was still available (since archived by the author):
01 Today
02 Soon
03 Month
04 Scheduled
05 Later
09 Cancelled
other tasks lists like "1 SuperImportantProject", "9 Someproject".
Then discipline to recycle your lists, and force yourself to stay on list.
The key app features required: 1) multiselect and move between task lists, 2) easy, low friction task creation, 3) calendar and task integration for scheduled tasks
This. A grouped agenda style would be really good, if it can handle repeated entries properly. On Android I exclusively use agenda mode but it's quite cluttered with recurring events.
I find HN rife with its own form of "I'm too smart" bro-science.
Your cardiologist spoke directly with you; they're a trained, accredited, licensed, and in good standing professional. Go with your interpretation of what they told you.
Additionally, lets learn how to over-come HN's own form of bro-science because I'm pissed off right now.
Step 1: go to pubmed and throw the most basic of terms in: "marathon training cardiology damage"
Step 2: Quickly review the studies listed; we want to see studies after the advent of advanced hormone and mRNA quantification--that's around 2005 to 2010 or so--or anything within the last 5-10 years.
Step 3: Read through one study especially if it appears to be well setup or specific to what we are trying to understand--we can look at the abstract if we have some knowledge in the area, or are just getting a feel for the topic.
Step 3b: take note of terms; this study is an easy one and has everything we want to see in the abstract: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36767963/ "Effects of Long-Term Endurance Exercise on Cardiac Morphology, Function, and Injury Indicators among Amateur Marathon Runners" in the Int J Environ Res Public Health
. 2023 Jan 31;20(3):2600. doi: 10.3390/ijerph20032600.
- left ventricular end-diastolic volume and left ventricular end-systolic volume indicator;
- myocardial injury indicators, serum levels of cardiac troponin I, creatine kinase (CK), creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and N-terminal pro-b-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP)
- Long-term high-intensity endurance exercise (not indicated; but "High intensity Steady State" (HISS) and similar will creep into our vocabulary)
Step 4: refine search to something like "cardiac morphology myocardial injury marathon amateur"; throw on "biological indicators", "creatine kinase"
Step 5: rinse, repeat, and read deeper into some of the studies.
Anyways, "Long-term high-intensity endurance exercise caused some damage to the hearts of amateur runners." and your cardiologist said the same. Or you can believe some rando giving medical advice on this forum. And honestly, I'm beyond irritated at the consistently bad takes on medicine, biomedicine, and exercise on YC HN.

No, his cardiologist apparently said this:
>my cardiologist said that everyone who trains hard for a marathon has some level of heart damage from the excessive training.
There is a huge difference between "some damage observed in some people that do X" and "everyone that does X has damage from doing X". They are completely different statements. They say different things.
Scaremongering about the "dangers" of exercise causes much more harm than exercise does. Even if it were true, it would still be better to have a few heart attacks from exercise than TONS of heart attacks from obesity and unfitness.
I heard this presented as a photography class. Doing a quick search shows that it's from a memory plot in "Atomic Habits" by James Clear.
The story features Jerry Uelsmann and having his class of photographers either work by quantity or quality of shots.
The specific example I remember was "you can only take 1 shot" vs "take as many as you can"; and the lesson being /the group that did many reps had ultimately better photos/.
It might not be obvious, but the date on the gpsjam page is an input field: You can change it and see the map for any day. If you do that, you'll quickly see that Cyprus is constantly, always being jammed.
Thank you for giving that insight against my assumption!
I discovered GPSJam a few months ago, and have enjoyed some of your content on Twitter, and really enjoyed your work on the longer form article from a few years ago (the FBI one; "Secrets of the Sky") [0].
No edge case dependencies on the WWW server's configuration, and no sudden "why did we just saturate our external connection?"
No emergency change requests from the outage team that has to be impacted by other areas and fit into the infrastructure's teams maintenance windows and their capacity to address that.
No rebalancing of workloads because Jane had to implement (or schedule the task and monitor it) that change, Joe had to check and verify that the external availability tests passed, and Annick had to sign off on the change complete, and now everyone isn't available for another OT window for the week.
(excluding the smaller pool draws of 5/6, 4/6, etc)
One ticket as the width of a human hair (60-80 µm).
The winning numbers are a hole the width of a human hair.
The odds of winning 1:14m is hitting another hair head on in a line 14,000,000×0.00007 m=980 meters wide. (~840 meters to ~1,120 meters)
The odds of winning 1:33.3m is hitting another hair head on in a line 33,294,800×0.00007 m=2,330.636 meters wide. (1,998 meters to ~2,664 meters)

If I buy a ticket, it's so I can daydream for myself.
