you can add the sailing frenchman -- great mix of caribean sailing, singlehanded racing, pretty down to earth:

Huh, I thought he was on there. I will try to get round to adding him.


I suppose it's time to share my dream excel functionality: Turbo F2.

F2 should enable the user to trace calculations back to the original data, not only the current calculation step.

In basis spreadsheet, this would yield a jumble of steps that are undocumented and hard to parse. But that's where the python, lambdas and custome functions come in: They enable legibility of turboF2.


The meritocracy trap, David markovits.


Super nice. A feature request: for each time zone, show the offset to sun time. Helps with the question: will 8am be like I expect it to be ?

Useful for outdoors activities.


I'll take this opportunity to ask for help: What's a good open source transcription and diarization app or work flow?

I looked at https://github.com/thomasmol/cog-whisper-diarization and https://about.transcribee.net/ (from the people behind Audapolis) but neither work that well -- crashes, etc.

Thank you!


I developed my own solutions, pretty rudimentary - it divides the MP3s into chunks that Whisper is able to handle and then sends them one by one to the API to transcribe. Works as expected so far, it's just a couple of lines of Python code.


I would like to know the same.

It shouldn’t be so hard since many apps have this. But what is the most reliable way right now?


Step 1 for all sailing outings. Super well integrated with most forecast providers… and for everyone else, better radar than the Weather app on IOS.


I like the windfinder.com interface.

with regards of quality of forecast I don't know: don't really know if they just aggregate other's data or make some kind of forecast themselves.


When reading these stats, two useful things to do:

- ask yourself how people in similar situations would be categorized in other countries

- whether there are benefits to self selecting as economically disabled in the UK


Curious what benefits you think there might be.

Economic disability is hardly generously rewarded in the UK.


But the typical choice is between disability and unemployment benefits, not disability and work. How do they compare ?

The UK has an order of magnitude more people it considers disable than neighboring France, last I checked (15years ago).


92£/MWh in 2012 £, and indexed in inflation - on mobile and can’t adjust but we’re talking 120-130 now.


Looks like sampling on the dependent variable.


Aka the screwdriver’s turn policy.
