Garmin watches work well with the desktop sports tracking program MyTourBook.

I've never had to activate a Garmin watch or register it online in order to use it. Not connecting it to Garmin Services and apps may limit access to 3rd party apps, or at least make it harder to load them load though. (I haven't researched side loading since base features are fine for me).

MyTourBook supports FIT/GPX/TCX/etc, has maps, calendars, charts and activity classification. It's built with Java so can run at least on Windows and Linux. There may be other good programs now, but as of a couple years ago it appeared to be among the better options.

It's open source (and they were supportive of PRs for improving Garmin import).

Edit: It's also not limited to Garmin devices. There is support for formats from Suunto, Polar and some other companies.

Edit 2: This is with syncing over USB btw.
Linear regulators are craptastic, inefficient, and ancient like 7805 circuits. Sure you can throw them together with a few parts, but why? Apart from extreme PSUs used only briefly, they will rapidly eat more electricity than the added cost of switching components.

Switching DC/DC is generally what you want. Buck -> V down, boost -> V up, buck-boost -> V up or down (sometimes 2 PSUs or 1 with shared components).

I have a 90VDC to 12VDC 10A buck converter to power a train air horn on my electric scooter. It's in a solid-state, ruggedized, industrial form-factor that's potted into a heatsink.
Eastern Massachusetts. Also there are literally programs to help people like her move, such as https://www.rainbowrailroad.org/

But unless her friends are also moving its a hard sell. Her living situation won't be much better if at all, it could even be worse because everything is also more expensive and she knows no-one.
I'll try to explain this better.

Sometimes you hope to get a system that works without constant tweaking. Once you've adjusted it properly, it should work without adjusting the settings. So there's one setting that works for all the inputs you care about.

But instead you have a system that you have to adjust all the time. For every input, you can get it to work. But you're never done tweaking.

This is actually fine if you're expecting the user to do some work. Consider doing a Google search, seeing what you get, and then modifying your query when you didn't get what you want.

It sucks if you're hoping to go into fully-automatic mode. You didn't get that, you got an interactive application. (Or maybe the tweaks aren't reasonable for the user to make themselves, so you got nothing?)

So the scam, if there is one, is selling something as fully-automated when it's not. It's a tool that requires a person to work with a machine, and you're never going to be able to take the human out of the loop. (Let's say you're hoping for a driverless car but you never quite get there.)

Often, it's not the end of the world. An interactive tool can be very valuable! But you need to set your expectations appropriately.

So? I would imagine this would be orders of magnitude greater in a neural net, no?
humble? lol

genius? lol

he is certainly not humble and he's no smarter than anyone else. right place, right time.

his LACK of humility is what gave him the persistence required.
In my experience Pimsleur is way better, and a good primer to be able to quickly get a lot out of immersion.
> IMO if you're learning from GPT you ... have to go through the same song and dance.

Yes but my song and dance is now in 8x fast forward.

> my no.1 use case right now is bash scripting/short scripts/tedious model translations

It is wonderful for scripting! Especially regex. 100% agree.

> I'd disagree on the fastest tool part ... responses are full of pointless fluff

As i use the tool more, my prompts are getting sharper, the machine is understanding me better, and i am finding much less pointless fluff IMO.

I see it like a musical instrument that i am starting to get an intuitive feel for...
Yes layout is semantic and the automatic layout configuration should not be random nonsense. Configure a style that makes sense and apply it.

I've never seen that code that needed to be weirdly formatted with its own rules separate from other files in the codebase in order to make sense. That just sounds like a developer being a prima donna with their code style, not something that genuinely improves understanding and collaboration.
The white plastic iBooks, especially the G3s, were incredibly prone to damage this way. I think I went through three G3s (on warranty) before they replaced it with a G4, and then swapped out a busted G4 still on the original warranty. Never occurred to me to change how I was using the system; it was clearly a design defect that was on them to handle. And none of the metal laptops ever gave me problems, although the TiBook certainly felt a bit fragile due to its size.
Great Wikipedia page with numerous examples, including the one I was going to point out, the Princess Bride DVD cover:

It's a bit weird that all these people signed up on the same Saturday night.
I've been misinformed that the planet can't support infinite people?
I have worked with a supplier / service who advertised us their brand new shiny REST/JSON based API that we could use to replace the drop a csv in a sftp workflow they offered previously.

The API was a post with a single JSON field called data, with a CSV string value. You just know they were asked by management to deliver an API and decided to do quite literally the minimum viable.

They had 'no plans' to expand it.
I agree regarding the time needed, but it's not clear to me that the Duolingo way would really lead to proficiency, even if one would invest all the time in the world.

Over the last couple of years, I've invested some serious time into learning Portuguese, first in Duolingo and then in an actual classroom. Duolingo was definitely helpful for reading proficiency, but did almost nothing for my conversation skills (let alone pronunciation). The real classes helped with the conversation skills, though I ended up supplementing them with a spaced repetition app for vocabulary drilling. Grammar is still lacking.

Another Duolingo language that I've spent quite a bit of time on is Yiddish, and I find that I can now read it quite well — but only in the exact font the app is using. I'm not entertaining much hope of ever being able to write or speak it.
There's a different media volume and call volume.
Thank you! I will definitely try to read up on this. A similar thing happened to servo drivers somewhere around the early 00's up to that point they were pretty involved hardware wise and then from one day to the next it was super simple hardware and a very beefy controller. It's interesting how when you solve math in software (and some of the math involved is quite complex) the marginal cost is like with every other piece of software: close to $0. But doing the same thing in hardware is expensive and it will decrease your MTBF considerably (and it probably will have other negative effects as well). Servo motors are an interesting case (as are steppers, but for very different reasons), especially when driving large loads and decelerating them again at speed. Those are definitely non-trivial control problems and I can see some parallels with these inverters.
Only the young die good.
Right, but this seems like strawmanning to me. The vast majority of useful technology ever developed has been "a complex tool which might be used to find a solution, with non-zero effort".

The complaint here seems to be about the existence of marketing.
I've seen base64 encoded XML embedded inside a form post. I think it was for SAML? I was truly horrified.
If he is also including Russia in this group then I would guess this might be the basis for China reclaiming lost territory from Russia after it loses the war.

Today the Chinese are buying Natural Gas and Oil from fields that were once Chinese territory. I'm sure this must really hurt their pride, that Russia stole this land from them.
See your uncle comment. It fits the label to a T.
In practice they're not so delineated today either. How often do you find RPCs labeled "REST-like API". Few "REST-like" APIs actually apply HATEOAS, etc.
I am a bit wary of arguments from pollution or other indirect deaths due to fire. (I do accept them, but I am still wary.)

For example, the 2019-20 bushfire season is cited as 33 direct and 417 indirect deaths. Direct deaths vary mostly with fire detection, response, and evacuation. Indirect deaths vary mostly with fire volume and wind patterns (19-20 killed so many because the weather abnormally pushed pollution into heavily populated areas, and kept it there for an abnormally long time). It seems hard to control fire volume (and really hard to control weather patterns), while it seems easy to control detection, response, and evacuation.

I do take your point that it seems easy to control fire volume specifically for slash-and-burn agriculture in South East Asia, as those are mostly artificially created fires and we could stop them from doing that.
I unironically have a soft spot for xpath to query a document. The JSON equivalents just dont hit the same spot.
You mean Chinese battery companies have the largest Lithium battery market share in China where foreign competitors aren't allowed to compete? Last I checked CATL makes mostly NCM, largely based on LG Chem's tech, and then LFP.

>> Japan and Korea dropped the ball is what happened, it wasn't any singular error but many unforced errors over a good 10 year period that led to them being now substantially behind.<<<

You don't seem to understand the battery market. Japan and South Korea have been in the battery business at lease since the mid 1990's. Japan's manufacturing has declined over time, but LG Chem is the largest EV battery manufacturer in the world. Of course, that's the global market share, outside China -- ie, there won't be any Chinese battery in North America.
This is easily googled. Look what just happened in Missouri. Florida is next.

And then there's the fact that dozens of red states have banned health care for trans youth.

We will die by the dozen. By our own hand; by gunshot. 'Death before detransition,' as we say.

But you will remember who really pulled the trigger, and who did nothing. It can and should haunt you.
I disagree, I think 1-2 are not really applicable, but SWE has some stuff other engineering fields don't have, either.
Did you consider adding a voltage-protection circuit, e.g. based on zener diode?

If not for being mechanical, I could imagine using a 48V motor and a 5V generator; both can be 95%-98% efficient.
How would app review work?
That's a great analogy, actually! The components of a hydraulic ram line up perfectly with a boost converter -- there's an inductor (the inertia of moving water), a switch (the waste valve), a diode (the check valve), and a capacitor (the pressure vessel).

I'm only seeing this now (so not sure if you'll read this), but:

The thing is, vast swathes of the world doesn't know what that word means. I didn't know it until I learned about this controversy. If the name had been the "greatest barrier" to its acceptance, GIMP would have been taken up in a LOT of the poorer countries, both because it's free and almost no one knows the word well enough to see it as offensive. Maybe the name played a role in some small way in US academic institutions or something similar to that. But without more fundamental issues (usability issues, stability problems in the past, UI latency, a thousand other little papercuts), the name itself would not have been a great barrier for GIMP.
I don't know about Monet specifically, but the ability to see UV light after having cornea replacements that aren't tinted is pretty well-documented.[1] Our retinas don't have dedicated UV receptors, though, so it's not like getting an additional primary colour beyond red/green/blue.

They are not. They are inherently high dropout devices which is why LDOs were created in the first place. LDOs are a refinement on those early generation of linear regulators.

The rise of 3.3V devices created a demand to derive regulated power from a 5V rail. Traditional linear regulators are unsuitable for this because the dropout voltage is in the range of 2V. LM317, the most likely old school variable output candidate, is 3V drop and can't do the job either.
Just being able to make a case doesn't mean they will consider the legal fees and resulting judgment to be valuable enough to their business, nor that the suit will even make it into the courts resulting in a final judgment.

A lot of behavior that rides this line is rationalized via a careful cost-benefit analysis.
Tesla as a brand is heavily associated with musk in a eta no other car company is associated with their owner/ceo.

Musk is a reason I wouldn’t get a Tesla. There’s more than one reason but he is one of them.
That sounds severe and so unlike what I’ve experienced. But some amount of noise in vision is normal, you just don’t notice it unless you focus on it, or have a background that really makes it apparently. Light is inherently noisy. If you look at a blank sheet of paper and all you see is #FFFFFF, you’re not paying attention.
It kind of makes sense. Both are closed systems that place rules what is good or bad for their members. If we cannot trust a person to choose whether a certain salary is good or bad for them, why would we trust them to decide what apps are good or bad for them?
If you're playing sound on a website, you need an easy way to disable it or adjust the volume.
What a lovely comment!

Is there a term that describes the sort of oscillation you're talking about, by the way? Wherein object A is embedded 'within' object B?
I encourage you look into reports from amnesty international, they document such stuff well. They are usually a year behind on stuff, the German report about 2022 reads

> Darüber hinaus wurden in verschiedenen Bundesstaaten Dutzende von Gesetzentwürfen eingebracht, die darauf abzielten, den Zugang zu gender-bestätigender Gesundheitsversorgung ("gender-affirming healthcare") für trans Jugendliche einzuschränken. [1]

Which i would loosely translate: Different states introduced dozens of law proposals which aim to reduce access to gender-affirming health care for trans teenagers.

In 2023 a lot more stuff has happened [2] and might be in preperation.

Gender-affirming care is as far as the data suggests the best way to treat ICD-10 F64.0 and sub categories. Denying people those treatments to a legitimate and internationally recognized diagnosis is depriving them health care. Health care is a human right [3].

I haven't had to work with XML all that often. For the few programs I've made that need to speak XML, I've always used the XML module in Python's stdlib. Is that bad practice? What does lxml provide as a benefit?
How they will do it likely is they will charge to install the App store app and assign it a CA and require it to sign the apps downloaded from that app store.

The sideloading of apps will technically be an apple approved app but enforced by another app store. To put it another way you would not be able to randomly download an unsigned app.
I'm reading this thread intently after a friend who was in a clinical trial for psilocybin went for a ketamine treatment only a few days later. She has that floaters and brain fog. She recently started on an epilepsy drug that seems to be helping
Why not have both? City law sets a baseline for the city, but that will be a one size fits all solution.

Someone who wants a place quieter than the noise level the city enforces can find a development with an HOA that sets a lower level. Someone who is particularly sensitive to smoke can find a development that bans outdoor fires on more days than the city does.

As long as an HOA is only limiting things that actually affect other people and maintaining common property, and it is legally structured in a way that prevents scope creep (or ensures that existing owners are grandfathered if new restrictions are imposed), I don't see anything inherently wrong with having an HOA.
Well, you decided to get kids so that's one point / part / way of fulfilling your life I guess...

I would expect it to be piloted in one region first and then phase across regions. It's not exactly something you want to YOLO and deploy to the entire world fleet all at once with customer devices and server infrastructure.
being proud of having an endless stream of people to block when your blocking action has no meaningful difference to the new people that will take their place, and feeling that it has a "significant" impact... is probably exhibiting one of the known cognitive biases, i'm just not sure which (Ikea effect?)
Text books are physically expensive and difficult to manage. A tablet or laptop, in theory, can reduce those costs to that of IP (if any). Even my kindergartner sometimes has to take home a bag full of books, the bag would be much lighter if it was just an iPad (which they also have, but don’t use for library books).
The last paragraph is the result of shadow rom working and cost savings. Of course firmware is now in SPI rom, because it's read once and SPI roms cost less than parallel roms and are easier to fit on the motherboard, and performance almost doesn't matter since they're not that big and again, only read once.

I've used NameSilo for a long time, back when it first started with 2 guys, with no issues. They have domain privacy, cheap prices, auto renew, and it's easy to verify contact information once for all domain names.

One thing I noticed recently that I don't like (and most registrars are doing it) is that they use some "domain broker" service if you want a domain name that is taken. It's very hard to figure out how to just contact the domain owner now that every has privacy turned on, and this middle man broker charges an upfront fee and takes a cut if the negotiation is successful. It's fine to offer that as a service if people want it, but to make it the default is pretty slimy IMO, especially for less techinical folks who don't even realize it's completely unnecessary.

I still don't think you know what backwards compatibility is. you are saying anything necessary to shut me up and concede and this point, and since you are confused about backwards compatibility, you are not correct.

backwards compatibility is not about keeping all features once supported in visual studio in all future versions. that is forwards compatibility. Microsoft does not do that.

we are talking about backwards compatibility: the ability of new operating systems to run software unmodified which ran on old versions of the same operating system.

The thesis of my argument is hiring that caliber of engineer provides little marginal value over a lesser engineer. The evidence is that Google has struggled to release successful products despite their supposed advantage in engineering quality.

> Obviously immersion is the best way.

I disagree with this dogma. I, like many, have heard this for years and took it as gospel. I tried it and didn't get great results. At the time I questioned where I had failed with a method so successful.

But the thing is, immersion only works if you're a relatively extroverted person (IMHO). Immersion turns language learning into a social activity. If you're more introverted, you won't get that social exposure. Worse, you may avoid that social exposure because way more because you have such difficulty communicating.

Immersion is not strictly the best way.
I know my COROS Pace allows for data export, but you probably need an account.
Even if this is small progress the headlines and framing of the story are still doublespeak. Installing applications on your computer is the normal state of things. Walled gardens and not having control of your computer is the new weird thing. The word "sideloading" is a feudal concept and it's unquestioned use is dangerous for society.

Properly stated this story title is, "Installing applications on iOS 17 might be allowed Europe" which highlights the absurdity intrinsic in the practice of users not being able to install applications on their own computers as a default.
