I'm not worried about it per-se, just a bit sad that it puts my "age" a couple of decades older than I am, where my more fit colleagues get values younger than they are :D I'm happy mine has improved over the 6 months I've been measuring it, and I hope it will cotninue to do so.

For two or three minutes of walk? Really? Oh okay \o/ Of course, my VO2-max reading still says I'm geriatric
What's depressing for me is that a brief walk around the office to clear the "MOVE! bar" on my garmin has pushed my HR up to 100 which, I can imagine, just indicates how horribly unfit I really am :/

Okay, I looked back over my resting heart rate data for the past 6 months and I can see how being unwell makes it go up; but still, 96 is almost tachycardia levels. *hugs*

Crikey! Take care of yourself man. I've just had a vat of necromantic grade tea and mine is only 54 right now.
@monzo Is it possible to have the coin-jar action also take effect on DDs and so on? It's distracting to have pennies left over after a DD, particularly one which isn't consistent month-to-month.

Oh right I get it now. (I'm too much of a geek and assumined 'vers' was short for 'version(s)' :-D
what is 'true vers'? Because I think I am five for five as I don't have/haven't done those things.

I read a heck of lot more than I write, and I'd send code with that kind of closing ladder back for refactoring :-D

You need to not structure your code such that you need these brackets. It'll change yours, and the lives of all your colleagues too.

I contracted a friend of mine, who is an illustrator/artist to help me. Of course, I paid a lot more than a fiver :-) If you want something cute, I can see if she has time to take on a commission.
Mmm, the 'bites' I've experienced have included Go programs segfaulting, which just feels BROKEN for a managed language. I mean, I've seen Rust programs panic too, but somehow that feels less bad.

I fear I've been burned by software written in Go one two many times to just snap it up, but I'd be interested at least.

I'd love to see more of our core functionality written in the safe subset of some other language such as Rust. I fear Haskell and Go have too much 'runtime' to really want to be at the systemd level, but who knows :-D
