Reading the Command Line Interface Guidelines 👨💻
Yet with its creaky, decades-old constraints and inexplicable quirks, the command line is still the most versatile corner of the computer.

It’s probably smart to check with superior 📊 if one isn’t sure if one is really tired or just playing tired out of laziness 🥱 I find it hard to sense the diff. 🏃

If I exclude walk breaks, I ran on average 6:24 min/km. 10 kph now seems almost doable for a 15 km 🏃 at easy pace.

Time for my weekly interval 🏃 training. This time 10 times 200 m (200 m recovery), at an average pace of 5:06 min/km. I felt I could’ve done 5 more, easily. Baby steps, though. Who knows, perhaps in August?

This time next week I will receive my second vaccine injection against SARS-CoV-2, supposedly protecting me against the Delta variant as well. It was originally scheduled for late August. It isn’t a perfect protection, so social distancing and hygiene rules will remain the same.

Cities Are Not Loud: Cars Are Loud, and Places Without Cars Are Quiet - YouTube I need to visit Delft to experience this silence.

What We’ve Built Is a Computational Language (and That’s Very Important!)—Stephen Wolfram Writings Language both humans and computers can understand, as important as the introduction of Math symbols “+”, “-”, “=”, etc. centuries ago. 👨💻

Today’s 🏃 was relatively long, 15 km. As part of it, I did 9 times (900 m 🏃: 100 m🚶), which an average 🏃 pace of 6:36 min/km. Because of my orange t-shirt, someone felt the need to say the Dutch are out of the running, so wearing orange is no longer necessary 🤔

It seems my cautious approach to 🏃 is starting to 🐻 🍎 Not only could I run 9 km in 62 minutes, I also ran 1 km in 5:35 min, in an attempt to train my lactate threshold. Now my 💉 has been brought forward by 6 weeks (because of new variants?), I’ll be able to run in a group sooner.

I suppose my cats keep me sane. They don’t take any human BS, and they reflect my behavior towards them back to me. If I’m nice and considerate, they are. If I neglect them, they start tearing down the furniture out of boredom. So I’m on my toes, trying to keep them happy. 🐱

I forgot to post about yesterday, when I 🏃 the full 15 km without walk breaks. This was a while ago. I even had one kilometer running 6:38 min/km, or 9 km/u, while still having an “easy pace” heart rate. On the photo is a deer, which you can barely see, but it was there.

Python vs Swift Unlike many languages, Swift behaves like Maths, passing objects as values instead of as references, which saves a huge performance hit of having to clone objects to avoid other processes changing those objects unexpectedly. In Python everything has a pointer👨💻

I have given blood to Mother Earth (I fell) while running. When I started I already felt unsteady, not quite awake. After the fall I was very awake and somewhat bloodstained. The rest of the run went without incidents. My only worry was if I had enough bandaids at home. 🏃

Pursuit of happiness seems best with as little material possession as possible. It forces you to ask for assistance instead of being self sufficient. Most people love to help, and in return you’ll get social interaction and life experience. Happiness will follow as a consequence.

Lots of day trippers on the road this morning, trying to reach the coast, 70 kms from where I live, before the evening falls, and most turn back for a return home after ten o’clock. It sounds like madness to me. I simply ran 13 km around my hometown.
