Another fun biomass-related fact: spiders eat more annually than the weight of all human adults [0].

Probably influenced by the most popular JavaScript library for achieving this type of layout, Masonry[0]. The author notes at the end of the article:

> But do expect the name of this value to change in the future. And perhaps prepare for a future where we call this “columnar grid” or “Grid Level 3” instead of “Masonry”.

I expect this is the case, if I had to describe that layout in iOS-land I'd also call it "masonry".

It's a pretty common descriptor in the Wordpress world - grids/scrapbooks will often have masonry as one of their layout styles. Maybe 100 years from now when people are browsing in their neurodisplay they'll be able to think "masonry" and have their photos tile the way they like, never having heard of Javascript or CSS in their lives. Language is neat like that.

I'm just as lazy as you, but I just wanted to point out that you can create a new stacking context explicitly with

isolation: isolate;

oh, great tip - thanks! That's much more explicit. The other approaches have the new stacking context as almost a side effect.

I like this a lot. I had a similar idea for my own site[0], but I leaned a bit more heavily into the actual cord behavior of the thing.

Your lamp is awesome. The little bounce of the cord is really fun

Or Carmack.

Thousands and thousands of miles of practise. Elite pacers can hit 400 m splits with sub-second accuracy by feel alone.

That seems way too high. A rough ballpark of energy expenditure while running is 1000 kcal per hour. Strava has the activity at 16,751 kcal.

Dang, that would be SO impressive... <1000 calories an hour would mean he is running SUPER efficiently from a body perspective, but of course, with the right hydration, nutrition, and temperature it is all possible to burn less calories.

Whether you walk it or run it, a mile is about 100 calories. So, give or take, ~20,000 calories. Divide by 3500 calories/lb. and he burned five pounds of fat he probably didn't have to spare. But not so fast, he was also consuming calories along the way, and consuming a lot.

So calculating the net burn would be quite difficult. But the gross burn was probably about five pounds/2.25Kg.

I don't know about that, it's probably not super precise but an hour running is 600-700 kcal burned, reported by Garmin Connect

Seeing the download attribute mentionend felt weirdly nostalgic. I wrote a short blog post about that attribute which shot up to the number one spot here on HN when I submitted it back in 2013[0].

In the nine years since that post, I have not once used it in a real project.

Sure. And Occam's razor. These are nice one-liners but not rules to base perspectives on.

What I'm focusing on is how everyone loves to feel smart, and most do that by making others feel dumb. And when you are anti-something (yes, I am anti NFT), you have further motivation to just chalk it up to, "haha look at these bozos."

The more useful, and in my opinion, more likely hypothesis to spend all our oxygen on is, "what kind of fraud might be going on here?" For example, did someone just make a ton of money by convincing a bunch of chumps to fund this?

I can highly recommend the book Infinite Powers by Steven Strogatz to anyone who wants a non-technical introduction to calculus and its history. Great book.
