I agree with much of this advice on testing.

A postmortem of a bad C book from the 90s.

A nifty spreadsheet with some useful tools for people who train according to Daniels' Running Formula. Works fine in LibreOffice Calc.

An excellent review of JD's marathon plan by Trent Gill. This is basically the plan I'm planning to follow this summer.

Greg Kroleski's account of his 8:09:48 Boston Marathon this year.

And he got some press coverage:

I like this guy's writing. I'm currently planning my summer marathon training and came across this article. The entries after this one mention him getting sick and DNFing his race -- but I'm still probably going to switch to 7 days a week of running as I increase my mileage.

Lots of ways to show git branch graphs.

Nice overview of NB and HMM.

I use Asciidoc/Asciidoctor to write all my weblog posts here and at https://americancynic.net

Greg Kroleski's marathon training plan, loosely based on Jack Daniels' formula, which got him to a 2:42 finish. Interesting to me because he only ran 5 days a week and averaged less than 42 miles per week, less than what I plan, but is much master than me. (He also has a plan where he runs only 3 days a week.)

I recently started defaulting to xz.

H.P. Friedrichs (AC7ZL) made this audio amplifier by using a VFD as a triode. A neat idea I've seen on hackaday a few times. Some characteristic curves are provided at the end of the article.

Ted Nelson tries to explain in 1979 why personal computers will be revolutionary.

Stumbled upon this running weblog while reading about marathon training plans. I like her race reports.

Even though it conflicts a bit with the Jack Daniels plan I'm trying to follow (which has me running 7 days a week, about the same mileage every day during the first phase of training), I found this video by Jason Fitzgerald on planning weekly mileage to be useful as I try to put together a marathon training plan.

Scott Wlaschin's talk/slides on "railway oriented programming" as a technique of handling errors and composing functions.

How to extract a file hierachy from a docker image and run it in a container with systemd-nspawn.

A documentary following two attempts by Gary Robbins to finish the Barkley Marathons (2016 and 2017). I recommend first watching the documentary titled "The Barkley Marathons: The Race That Eats Its Young" (available on Netflix) to get an idea of what the race is all about.

Robbins ran again this year (2018) and was the only person to finish the fun run (but didn't make the cutoff for lap 4).
