Physical activity and the reduction of all-cause mortality, from 2 very large prospective cohorts 1. The relationship is non-linear, suggesting a threshold effect for many types of exercise as seen below

Suni Williams - astronaut, combat helicopter pilot, test pilot - is retiring after 27 years at NASA. She flew 4 rocketship types, did 9 spacewalks, spent 609 days in space and commanded the ISS. I served as her backup for her 2nd spaceflight, and have nothing but respect. Suni's a powerhouse.

Yesterday it was cows using tools, today its penguins using satellite imagery.

We are honoured to have our interview with @seancarleton.bsky.social included in this article on residential school denialism he wrote for @canadiandimension.bsky.social #canPoli #bcPoli

You have to actually listen to the full ~17 minutes of this speech. As an Indigenous person I wasn't expecting him to be this honest. Not all is resolved between our peoples, but more of this going forward is a step in the right direction. Amazing speech either way. www.cbc.ca/player/play/...

Big news if you're Inuvialuit. Unrelated: As usual my browser spell checker does not recognize the word "Inuvialuit". I don't normally mention such things because I've gotten use to it. Thanks as usual Imperial White folk. Your technology is as enlightened as your foreign policy against Greenland.

[cctmp] Mostly I'm taking the day off because from here on out I'm now building well known functional list algorithms for the next ~1.5 weeks. It'll be easier and more enjoyable than lower level C++. Regardless, before I continue I've been thinking over one last optimization [see image]. 1/5

In my brain every time I read "doge team" I'm like: Sled dog team?

If you can't live your best life, Find your doppelganger and live theirs.

I can resonate with this. I grew up watching Red Green, the Odyssey, The Raccoons, Reboot. I wanna say I watched North of 60 but our mother needed her "adult time" shows and games. I don't agree, but I get it. (also I shunned my family, so who am I to talk) www.cbc.ca/arts/canadia...

I could be wrong, but is that the X-Files?

A view on the US from Greenland: “We do not want to be rich like Americans. Look how greedy they are, even trying to invade their friends. We would not sell ourselves. We know what happened to Indigenous people in Alaska and Native Americans. Their land was taken, and they were not treated well.”

A remotely operated bulldozer sank in mud-like material at Diavik. It could stay there forever as the mine says retrieving it isn't "safe or practical."

Greenlandic politician Tillie Martinussen on the sovereignty of Greenlanders, the greed in the US, and how they view their land. Also comments on how the US treated Natives, as a very good reason to not want to be a part of the US. youtu.be/xs53IESxz80?...

“One notable MIT study found that 95 percent of companies that integrated AI saw zero meaningful growth in revenue. For coding tasks, one of AI’s most widely hyped applications, another study showed that programmers who used AI coding tools actually became slower at their jobs.”

Nunavut will fly Greenland’s flag near the territorial legislature!

The makers of Arctic comedy North of North say production of its second season has begun in Iqaluit and Toronto. Season two will be released later this year.

Mark Carney takes the sign out of the window. A brave and powerful speech, calling for middle powers to stop appeasing and pretending this is business as usual - and start building new alliances. I think this is the speech - and the PM - that a lot of Canadians have been waiting for. #cdnpoli #Davos

Solidarity with the peoples of Kalaallit Nunaat (Greenland) and all who stand for democracy and against colonialism.

International residency seeks Indigenous artists from northern Canada Aejlies is now accepting applicants from Canada's north for the second round of its Indigenous Arctic Art Residency set to take place in northern Sweden.

[cctmp] Okay this one is exciting! [see image] I introduced an "auxiliary" paradigm to my concord type system to reduce memory usage within concords themselves (i.e. temporary memory). I've now added the ability to create compile time concords which can still generate run time auxiliaries. 1/3

[1/3] The JHR team is saddened by the passing of Kanienke:haka (Mohawk) journalist Thaioronióhte Dan David. Over a 45-year career, Dan reshaped Indigenous journalism in Canada, most notably as the founding force behind APTN News.

Dr. Gladys West, the pioneering mathematician whose work laid the foundation for modern GPS technology, has died. She was 95.

It's wild how people just forget that the US is a European power occupying a continent through force. It has no land base of its own except Britain.

This is exactly my first thought when is comes to literally *anything* about Greenland. The native Inuit who were colonized by Europe, and who have fought long and hard to regain some level of home rule, deserve better than to have their homeland considered "for sale" by this bullshitter president.

To calm your doomscrolling, birds at a feeder on a very snowy day.

This is hope giving and a timely reminder to me personally as I constantly feel like I'm failing in this moment because I can't be out in the streets for a lot of reasons. Please, if you are like me and can't be on the front lines, read this thread and remember all contributions matter.

Minnesota should get the Nobel peace prize.

[cctmp] It took an extra week, but I've overhauled my library implementation. I dropped my "method equip" paradigm, replacing it with a style I was using previously (I don't have a proper name for it). 1/3 codeberg.org/Daniel-Nikpa...

[cctmp] So after the redesign this is what my compile time type system code looks like now [see image]. a) define the concord type, along with classes of type operators. b) define required type objects. c) define an auxiliary concord as temporary memory. d) define values on the auxiliary. 1/3

I rewrote the words to Strauss′s "Kornblumen" because the original poem is a bit icky, from an icky set about how girls are like flowers and here′s all the different types of girl-flowers... (Mädchenblumen). But the music is beautiful so I wrote new words, about my favourite whiskies.

On this day in 1987, Degrassi Junior High debuted on CBC. One of the first soap operas for kids and teens, it ran for three seasons and was critically-acclaimed for its subject matter. It won eight Gemini Awards and an Emmy Award. Its sequel series, Degrassi High, began in 1989.

I got accepted to give a tech talk at NDC Toronto in early May. The conference is broader than C++, but my talk is C++ heavy. I'm realizing now I have just over 3 months until then which frankly is enough time, but also very little time, ahah. I have rent / utils paid until the end of April. 1/3

Easy way to put it: All that was good about the old design still exists in the new one. All that was bad is now gone. Currently my only complaint about the new design is the error readouts are just as info dense but less telling. It's fine in this unique case because I handle my own error messages.

[cctmp] Was hoping to update my codeberg repo today. Didn't happen. As with the last several days I got a lot done, but it was just out of reach. I think tomorrow, but I've done this long enough to say who can tell? The new design is good. Frankly the old design was good, but this one is compact.
