    • The format works for both lossy and lossless compression, depending on the use case and need. Photographs can be encoded in a lossy way much more efficiently than JPEG and things like screenshots can be losslessly encoded more efficiently than PNG.

    Someone made a fair point that having a format being both lossy and lossless is not necessarily a great idea. If you download a jpeg file you know it will be compressed, if you download png it will be lossless. Shifting through jxl files to check if it’s lossy or not doesn’t sound very fun.

    All in all I’m a big supporter of jxl though, it’s one of the only github repos I actively follow.





  • It’s quite typical when you’re just starting out and do more work than you’re body is used to. It should get better time, the worst thing to do would be to stop moving.

    Take it light(er), but keep training and your body will adapt to the workload. There is really no need to start at 100% when starting to workout after a long period of not training, ease into it.

    Warm up/down will have no effect on the DOMS though, and eating healthy and sleeping well will only make your DOMS worse as your body’s immune system will have a stronger response to your muscle disruption (which is a good thing).









  • For general fitness wrist curls will be a waste of time as it doesn’t really transfer to anything in the real world, nor will you get much hypertrophy from the low volume. If you want something for your forearms, farmers walk will be a lot more useful as it trains your grip in a way that transfer nearly 1 to 1 with normal life activities.

    Likewise, calf raises isn’t needed, walking should be plenty of stimulus for your calf if you aren’t aiming for hypertrophy.

    The biggest issue with the program though is that it is completely missing what’s maybe your most important group of muscles, your back. You’ll want an exercise or two that trains your pulling muscles (other than the biceps). Deadlifts are great (and healthy) if you have a bar available. Dumbbell/barbell rows are great exercises, pull ups too if you got the strength. If pull ups are too difficult at the moment, you could try training only the eccentric portion of it until you get better at it.
