Oh, how revolutionary! 🤔 A #blog #post that rambles for 12 minutes about the groundbreaking concept that you *can't* #unit test "taste." Who knew? Certainly, no one would have guessed that an app tracking your Strava mileage on virtual maps isn't the solution to the complexities of #flavor. 🍕👟

You can't unit test for taste

I’m building In the Long Run where runners do virtual runs on famous routes around the world. The app tallies up your Strava mileage and plots your total distance as progress against country- or continent-spanning routes. The intention is to provide long-term inspiration and motivation; life is a marathon, not a sprint. You can have a bad month or season but still make progress on your virtual traversal of the world.

So I have a small pile of lithium-ion cells sitting beside me, freshly charged. From the count of cells, their rated capacity in amp-hours, and the nominal voltage of 3.7V, I calculate the stored energy as being close to 850,000 #joules.

One megajoule - only 17% larger - is described in Wikipedia as the amount of #kinetic #energy of a one-tonne mass moving at 161 km/h [1]. It's also traditionally described as approximating one 190g stick of #dynamite.

#Respect.

[1] Despite specifying the mass in metric tonnes, they give this velocity as "100 mph" primarily, thus displaying a Canadian-like schizoid approach to #unit systems.

[edit: fix position of footnote]
