This kind of nuance is very suited to a mother tongue and I would probably like it in French, but as a non-native speaker who uses english mainly for professional or hobby stuff, c…

Thanks. This is the first time I encounter the word "beachhead", and googling a bit made me indeed saw something related to an invasion. But I was so annoyed by the claudeisms that…

I've had "tractable beachhead" a bit earlier today. Like in "the tractable beachhead was the coupling between X and Y". A bit of googling did not help me, I have no idea what this …

Very cool. Are you near Aspet ? I often hike with a friend who lives there. The Cagire is one of my favorite peaks of the Pyrénées.

Sadly not as I exclusively practice visual astronomy. Here is a nebula, NGC7000, drawn by an excellent observer, which appears that way (very wide field, but a bit dimmer than thei…

Thanks for the clarification. I don't think so, my largest eyepiece has a field stop of 39mm, and I'm taking advantage of the fact that edge illumination falloff is not perceptible…

I'm sorry, I did not find what you meant by a 220 format frame. Is it a film photography type ?

Very nice, are you documenting this somewhere ?

We still do it ! But the designs have evolved, see : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SWhxCwHVPms I'm planning this kind of build for my 16". It's still a dob, still uses teflon aga…

Well, I could, but checking collimation at 1-2D magnification for an instrument used at 0.16D provides no observable advantage once star collimation was done. My rule of thumb is t…

Hi ! It is quite easy, with 2 tilt screws at the secondary cage, and the primary cell floats on three heavy duty springs. I can shake it and nothing moves, this is my first criteri…

To me, there are two models that stand out from the crowd : - The Hadley, a 4"1/2 f/9 dobsonian telescope, which is a smaller aperture but easy to build and to find optics for, and…

Hi, thank you ! I am using DFTFringe ( https://github.com/githubdoe/DFTFringe ) with a Bath interferometer (specifically this model which is super handy : https://www.printables.co…

After this year's Paris marathon, I ran the same per-minute graphs, and they match perfectly the "overall study" graphs with more than 9 million finishes in the article. I also add…

There is no rest. There is just (properly done) a continuous output from start to finish, or a very slight increase of output (negative splitting), but effort to maintain it feels …

Yeah you're right, I hear it more like "this is a week long hike, not a sprint" as if a marathon included rest. In any length of racing there's no tomorrow. But I'm doing tongue-in…

It makes me smile when runners use "X is a marathon, not a sprint" to hint at an effort that accumulates over time and an optimal use of energy. I do it too because it's a common e…

"German mode" is an interesting idea !

I routinely use "load bearing" in conversations and writing, both seriously and ironically (like a "load bearing just" or "load bearing paint").. maybe I should stop.

I felt that but find it worked way better by invoking it with `claude --effort max` only

The hydrogel textures (not maurten but naak, but close enough), for me, allow while racing to swallow a full 40g gel in half a second without feeling the sugary taste a lot, which …

Converting an app that started per-client deploy, single-tenant, cloud-ignorant and mono-node to multi-tenant, multi-node, cloud storage and a cluster of a few nodes. On one hand, …
