Being mindful is great. The article is just saying it's a health indicator:
> So why does walking speed even matter? It’s considered an important indicator of overall health. A hale and hearty speed signifies that your body’s systems—including your heart, lungs, muscles and nervous system—are working well together. “We call it the sixth vital sign”
1. The distinctive scent, caused by geosmin, which accompanies the first rain after a long, warm, dry spell.
2. The yellow organic oil that yields this scent.
From Wiktionary: "The term was coined by Australian scientist Richard Grenfell Thomas in 1964 for the article “Nature of Argillaceous Odour”, co-authored by Isabel Joy Bear and published in the journal Nature."
Some nuggets from the paper:
> There is some evidence that drought-stricken cattle respond in a restless manner to this 'smell of rain' which may drift with the wind for considerable distances.
> We have learned from the Indian Standard Association that the production and concentration of argillaceous odour from baked clay have been, for many years, the basis of a small perfumery industry centred near Kannauj, some 80 miles west of Lucknow, U.P., India. Baked clay disks, exposed there under the open sun during the hot summer months of May and June, are collected before the wet season and are steam-distilled and the vapours containing the odour and associated products are absorbed in sandalwood oil. The perfume so obtained is known as 'matti ka attar', which may be translated as 'earth perfume'.
> The diverse nature of the host materials has led us to propose the name 'petrichor' for this apparently unique odour which can be regarded as an 'ichor' or 'tenuous essence' derived from rock or stone. This name, unlike the general term 'argillaceous odour', avoids the unwarranted implication that the phenomenon is restricted to clays or argillaceous materials; it does not imply that petrichor is necessarily a fixed chemical entity but rather it denotes an integral odour, variable within a certain easily recognizable osmic latitude.
"...that I'll never replace", I mean you will replace the whole phone, including the battery? (Unless this is your last phone, in which case you won't be affected anyway :P)
Last year I found a vulnerability in a large annual event's ticket system, allowing me to download tickets from other users.
I had bought a ticket, which arrived as a link by email. The URL was something like example.com/tickets/[string]
The string was just the order number in base 64. The order number was, of course, sequential.
I emailed the organizer and the company that built the order system. They immediately fixed it... Just kidding. It's still wide open and I didn't hear anything from them.
I'm waiting for this year's edition. Maybe they'll have fixed it.
Azure and felt overwhelmed? As a student or first- time user to cloud computing, I've been there too. The idea of creating a chatbot or search app using GPT sounds exciting, but the process of setting up everything right from the vector database, provisioning OpenAl models, to integrating them,
