Re: T-Mobile - On United you can just set your laptop user agent to a mobile one and sign on with your phone number. Works fine for both the short period and full flight options.
Before Eat. Race. Win. I had this entirely uninformed idea the food the riders ate would be incredibly streamlined and controlled - I was thinking something like Soylent and protein powder and supplements. To see them chowing down on "normal" food and drinking alcohol (at all) was surprising for me.
The alcohol really surprises me given how meticulous they are about everything else - especially sleep monitoring. After a big win, it's not uncommon for the entire team to have sparkling wine or beer that night. Maybe not a big deal for one day races, but with stage races they usually have another hard race the next day. On the podium during stage races, victors will often drink sparkling wine/beer too. After winning a stage at last year's Vuelta a España (one of the major multi-day stage races) Sepp Kuss took a huge long chug on the podium - and then went on to when the entire race [1]!
Some riders used to drink during races too. Freddy Maertens was able to do it and still win [2].
Any risks in terms of performance have to be weighed up against the benefits to morale. A grand tour is long, a full year's calendar of racing is even longer, but a glass of champagne to celebrate a win goes a long way towards breaking up the monotony of suffering.
and then there's the Radler, a beer and lemonade mixture specifically created for cyclists. It's quite tasty and thirst quenching, although I'm not sure I'd use it as as peri-workout drink (post-workout? sure)!
Your "join" page is a little UX uncomfortable. Middle click doesn't work for the description or apply link (just loads the whole join page again), and the apply expands/embeds the greenhouse.io page (in a narrow column) instead of opening it in a new window.
I use the fact you can configure git to use custom diff tools and take advantage of this with the following in my .gitconfig:
[diff "pdf"]
command = ~/bin/git-diff-pdf
And in my .gitattributes I enable the above with:
*.pdf binary diff=pdf
~/bin/git-diff-pdf does a diff of the output of `pdftotext -layout` (from poppler) and also runs pdf-compare-phash.
To use this custom diff with `git show`, you need to add an extra argument (`git show --ext-diff`), but it uses it automatically if running `git diff`.
I use some custom tools for PDF comparison (visual, textual, and perceptual hash) for my personal records/accounting purposes.
A number of the financial and medical institutions I deal with re-generate PDFs every time you request them, but the content is 99-100% identical. Sometimes just a date changes. So I use a perceptual hash and content comparison to automate detecting truly new documents vs. ones that are only slightly changed.
Bolt will cool itself, but it does so more aggressively when plugged in (even if not actively charging). I always leave our EVs plugged in when it's over about 80F and below freezing because of that.
My 2021 is complaining loudly (running the cooling system) about the heat-wave today.
If you're using AWS ElasticBeanstalk Tomcat distribution, 21 isn't supported yet. I realize this isn't a huge segment of the market, but it's probably not the only example.
