Another incredible ultra-runner from Lithuania is Aidas Ardzijauskas who last year completed his 444 day run covering 30303 km, which is on average 68km every day for almost 1.5 years! His plan originally was to run around the world, but during the pandemic it wasn't possible to do that so he just ran it all in Lithuania. Unfortunately there isn't much English-language coverage about the monumental feat, but this is readable with Google translate: https://www.lrt.lt/naujienos/sportas/10/1568074/finisas-pasi...

And he tracked everything on Strava too - https://www.strava.com/athletes/16416410

I've attended Computer Architecture lectures with David May - incredible character with profound knowledge of anything related to computer hardware. His new company (http://xmos.com) is also worth looking at if you're interested in parallel computing.

I think it tracks everything with the public key that you use to push to github. The username will look the same, but will not be linked to your account.

I meant from a user's perspective. You shouldn't care if the song is stored in /foo/bar or in a remote database somewhere in the cloud. You access it through some obvious interface e.g. iTunes. Having 'file' as a central concept of accessing data doesn't have much connection to the actual way it is used. My vim config file doesn't have much in common with a song I've just downloaded. It is stored the same way, but that's about it.

I guess the next one in line should be getting rid of file as a concept. Not much point knowing where exactly the song you want to listen or a movie you want to play is stored.

The funny thing is that I actually understood what he was talking about. Very well explained and undeniably one of the coolest things you could have in a garage.
