I think I agree: no winner for ca 10 years should do it. Are the contemporary Tours much worse than what Bahamontes or Anquetil used to climb? Much more difficult, I mean.
Thomas Willingham

It's hard to say.

Routes are much shorter than they used to be, and all have much better roads (dirt tracks and cobbles used to be normal, now riders protest about them). The Tour de France has fewer mountains than it used to, and less Time Trialling. The Vuelta has more mountain top finishes than ever, but fewer mountains in total, whereas the Giro d'Italia tends to be as hard as it ever was (except this year, which was deliberately "easy"). Of course, because it's shorter, it's also faster...and you can't just compare speeds, because a lot of it is flat, and can be accounted for by drafting.

The closest you'll get to comparing eras is to compare power outputs on the climbs, and it's best to do that for one day races (like classique des alpes - in the mountains, drafting isn't too important) where fatigue isn't a factor, weather reports are available to adjust for wind speed, and the route barely changes.

The clearest way to see why I think "everybody dopes" is to race at a high level (high being top end junior in my case, or amateur-who-gets-invited-to-pro-am-events in other cases). Almost everybody does it. They talk about drugs like we talk about Friendica; it's the one thing everybody has in common.

elinks and surfraw
@Linux-Group @Arch Linux You might find this useful and/or fun, if you use elinks (compiled with lua scripting support) and have surfraw installed. The following script will use surfraw from within elinks. When entering an url (after pressing "g", that is), if you start with "!", the rest will be interpreted as arguments to surfraw. That is,

!piratebay wargames will look for wargames torrents at piratebay. The script is very simple, and it's here (linked because I've been unable to paste it to this post!)

it should be part (or whole) of ~/.elinks/hooks.lua. Enjoy.

Hume and the Epistemic Argument
I hadn't noticed this passage in Hume's A Treatise onf Human Nature until now:
In common life 'tis established as a maxim, that the streightest way is always the shortest; which would be as absurd as to say, the shortest way is always the shortest, if our idea of a right line was not different from that of the shortest way betwixt two points (Book I, Part II, Section IV)

Hume is arguing against the suggestion that the definition of straight line is the shortest path between two points. It can't be, Hume says, because if it was saying that the straight line is the shortest path between two points wouldbe as uninformative as saying that the shortest path between two points is the shortest path between two points, and it isn't.

This is reminiscent of Kripke's so-called epistemic argument against descriptivism: "Plato" cannot mean Socrates's protegé because, if it did, it would be a priori (uninformative) that Plato is Socrates's protegé, and it isn't. Hume's example, though, would not pass another prominent Kripkean test: it is impossible for a straight line not to be the shortest path between two points -- assuming Euclidean geometry. Anyway, it seems to me now that a Kripkean would have to agree with Hume that the shortest path between two points does not give the meaning of "straight line". Which is, maybe, unexpected.

@Tobias is right - use poco. If your account has "don't show my friends" enabled is the only time when the API might be a better choice, since the API logs in as you and can see all your hidden resources.

If using the API, @Michael Johnston is right - use (for example, with json format)

api/users/show.json?user_id=xxxx

for each user_id entry returned by the api.

Markdown to bbcode
@Friendica Support Hello, helpers,

I'm trying to get a system going for writing my posts in markdown (pandoc, really, but this is irrelevant for the present point) and then uploading them to Friendica.

I've noticed that the standard way in which markdown deals with code blocks (adding <pre><code>...</code></pre> to the html) does not play well with, I guess, the html2bbcode converter. In any event, my code displays as plain text. 

Is there a way to fix this from this end?

Yeah.
I know how to send a post and control whether/where it is xposted, but that's it.

I would like to know more about permissions controls over api, especially, but also this html thing (I suppose I must read api.php).
