Just so you know, those numbers are way off. If you think about it how would a hummingbird consume that amount of calories in half its bodyweight? See https://www.birdspot.co.uk/bird-brain/how-many-calories-do-h...

I mean, when extrapolated to human size it's still 125k calories a day, but 6600 for a bird of 3g is just not possible.


They are (deliberately?) juxtaposing calories (the scientific unit of energy) and kilo-calories (the nutritional unit of energy).

Unfortunately, the latter are, confusingly, also called called 'calories', despite one nutritional 'calorie' being 1000x of a 'regular' calorie.


I thought it was accurate - k-cal are usually represented as Calories (capital C) as opposed to the individual unit of measure: calories.

See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calorie


Yes, that must be the source of confusion.

6000 to 12000 calories, not kilocalories, per day, means 1.5 g to 3 g per day of sugar, which is plausible for a humming bird.


125k calories is about half a chocolate bar. It’s not a lot.


Only the "6,600 to 12,000 calories per day." is way off, because it's physics cal not nutritional (k)cal.

And it's more like 100lb of hamburger for a human, not 300lb.


Wrt Azure App Service, thats basically just Kubernetes (well, AKS to be precise) under the hood anyway so it's really not an argument against the perceived complexity of Kubernetes. Which illustrates nicely that offloading the complexity of managing K8s clusters to cloud providers is a very valid way of doing things imo. Having said that, I really don't like AAS, but that's a different story:)

I once made something like this to mount json files as a fuse filesystem. It's not maintained and one of my first projects, so the code is somewhat questionable, but it does work.

It basically mounts a dict on a filesystem, the exact opposite of what you want :)

My big question is why? you wanted to navigate or display a JSON dataset using filesystem-viewer tools? i.e. "Explore" the JSON dataset?


Well, mostly because I wanted to play with fuse, but it started out as an ansible thing (doesn't work with >2 though).

The ansible setup module returns the system information in json, and if you mount it with the --realtime flag, when you open a "file" like ram for instance, ansible fetches the current value for you. That way you have your infrastructure mounted so to speak. Sort of a /proc filesystem for your linux infrastructure.

I never got further than a working poc though. It works, but there are some bugs and there is no regard for security.


This does look very similar to the setup I am using (https://github.com/huyng/bashmarks)


Reopen closed tabs is, afaik, Command-z


That only works immediately after I close the tab. If I close one tab, close another tab, navigate to some other site, browse it for a while, and then decide to reopen that two closed tabs, then I can't do that.


Not a problem, I stumbled onto it by accident. Since I am interested in mathematics, but lack a lot of basic knowledge, it's nice to have this handy in addition of resources like Khan Academy.
