SDB-300W family is still the best running watch I've ever had. I still have 1.5 copies of the WS-110H around on their last legs.

The key features that I've missed from any watch since is 1. good buttons and 2. "immediate" reaction time.

With the huge differences in per-country tariff, there seems to be a large incentive to reroute and relabel imports. E.g., build a bike frame in China, export it to a sister company in Japan, and export it to the US from there, claiming production in Japan. How effective are existing controls against that? (And what are they even, I'm ignorant.)

Global CO2 Levels 3 years ago

What's the view on the immediate impact on elevated CO2 levels on humans? I know high indoor CO2-levels correlate with poor mental performance, but as far as I know that might just be because it also correlates with reduced O2 levels. But it seems reasonable that a 25% increase of CO2 in ambient air would do something to our health.

I would guess it's rather mathematical. Each coinflip has some number of half-flips. Now analyze the distribution of that number. If this distribution were to start at its maximum with 0 half-flips and decay as it increases, summing over the even values (same side up) clearly gives more than summing over the odd values. Now the distribution isn't going to be like that, but I expect that it's generally "front-loaded" in a way that causes a similar effect.

Same here, I get 403s from tile.tracestrack.com

Edit: I think it's due to referrer filtering. I can load the tiles fine if I pass 'Referer: https://www.openstreetmap.org', but Firefox sends 'Referer: tile.tracestrack.com'. Presumably that's a measure to preserve privacy, possibly due to some extension (though I've disabled various adblock, tracking protection things...)

Also, how many of those tiny plastic wrappers accidentally fell from someone's backpack side pocket or similar? You have to do a bit of "leave it nicer than I found it in terms of things I'm aware of" just to break even.

Re 9, would it be possible to change the signature of expectEqual from

    pub fn expectEqual(expected: anytype, actual: @TypeOf(expected)) !void
to
    pub fn expectEqual(expected: @TypeOf(actual), actual: anytype) !void
What would the downsides be?
