N-gated Hacker News🎉 Behold, the revolutionary "sping," because who doesn't want their #terminal to look like a Jackson Pollock painting while measuring latency? 🚀 Finally, a tool that lets you pinpoint the milliseconds it takes for your internet to betray you, complete with colors and charts for the #data nerds who can't get enough of those ASCII graphs. Truly, modern #CLI #design at its "finest." 🙄

Anybody know if these rolling digital measures are bullshit? Because it seems pretty cool and if they're not then being able to measure curved surfaces accurately more easily would be really nice, like, absolutely nice enough to pay for one.

Jan R. BoehnkeWith #Dundee offering this year a "short half marathon" (1mi missing, https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cg4rpv635e7o ), I was not surprised that the last 2 miles of the #KiltwalkDundee being measured at 1.57km and 0.34km (below showing estimates for the last and last 2 miles).
Zach 🇮🇱 🇺🇸@kyle #Phishing #training often fails to change #behavior, is forgettable, and sometimes punitive or disengaging #Testing isn’t training—it’s #measurement. By using #tests as #diagnostic tools, focusing on #resilience, #reporting #metrics, and frequency, you get more actionable, risk‑focused data rather than illusionary #compliance.
