Garmin has been crushing it with their smartwatches.

* App store with 3rd party apps and faces.

* Always on screen

* Physical buttons (Vivoactive is mostly touchscreen oriented, but all their "athlete" watches use buttons)

* Week long battery life - Even running GPS tracking for 12 hours straight leaves enough battery for the next day.

The biggest downside to the Garmin is trying to figure out which watch to buy. They stupidly gate certain activities to specific watches. For example Garmin has a Hike activity on their Fenix line, but not their Vivoactive so I need to track my hikes as a Walk.

There is no email verification. The article appears after you submit any valid email address.

I'm not really interested in game development, but what stood out in this article is that this is essentially the author's brag document. It would be very easy for him to continue to update this article and send his manager a link any time performance reviews come around.

How is this a monopoly? Walmart is a competitor and they also have a pharmacy.

You’ve haven’t used those much then. Pumping water in the backcountry is a giant PITA. Even the clearest mountain stream ends up clogging the filters after a few liters and require you to back flush them. We despise using them and will often just boil unpurified water for our dinners.

Sawyer filters tend to be our favorite. Although if you only want to do a Nalgene amount of water and don’t mind some grit, then Steripens are a good option too.

Because the alternative is to say that ranchers need to protect their livestock from wildlife, and then wolves end up back on the ESL.

They only remove your information every 3 months. If I'm paying $129/year I want the removals to be submitted daily.

They acquired the Keybase team to implement this. If there is a backdoor, I'd expect a mass exodus of the team.

USB-C monitors are a complete mess too. My LG monitor only charges at 65W over USB-C, so I still need to plug in my MBP charger to avoid depleting my battery. A lot of docks also face this problem.

That’s a false equivalency. A more apt comparison would be if you could only buy a game at GameStop for one year, while all the Best But shoppers weren’t able to buy the game from their preferred retail store.

The waveform option looks pretty cool. What is the best way to play it back? I could see it being a very sentimental reminder in case something tragic happens.

FaceID is terrible when driving. I often have my passenger read and send texts for me, on my iPhone 6S I just had to grab the phone and put my thumb on it. With my iPhone 11, I need to lift it up in front of my wheel, and look directly at it instead of the road, because if you aren't looking at it then it won't unlock.

Not that difficult, except that you need:

* sign up / sign in routes.

* reset password flow

* multifactor enrollment and validation

* email verification and email templates

* rate limits to prevent brute force attacks

There is a reason entire companies exist to solve this. Properly implementing your own login creates a lot of wasted development time, especially when OAUTH2 is an industry standard.

Any recommendations on a TB3 dock? I recently searched for one, and none of the top rated ones can support a 16" MBP power requirements. One of the manufacturers even went as far as saying "How often do you really use your CPU/GPU at 100%?"[0]

Dell and HP have higher powered docks, but there are many conflicting reports on if it can deliver 96W to non-dell/hp laptops.

TB3/USB-C is a giant mess that is too confusing for even techies to reliably navigate.

I refuse to support what Spotify is trying to do to the podcast market.

> "Whenever looted cultural property is found in this country, the United States government will do all it can to preserve heritage by returning such artifacts where they belong,"

How does this tablet differ from any other artifact in a museum? Couldn't it be argued that any ancient artifact from another culture is stolen?

Joplin or Bookstack are probably the closest. Joplin is closer to Evernote.

This is my exact experience. I wanted to share a page I put together for our garden, so we could both edit it. Notion wanted 16/mo for us. While that pricing makes sense for a company, it doesn't make sense for a household.

National Parks are the sacrificed land that gets people interested in preserving public land. It's much easier to get national support to "Save Yellowstone" than to get people to care about saving Bridger-Teton National Forrest. However, the policies that benefit one often benefit the other.

Let as many people in to Yellowstone as possible so that they can look back on that one trip through Wyoming and feel like they have a personal interest in saving our public lands.

People have significant others and children at home. Even people that work remote full time will be taking a productivity hit during the COVID-19 disruptions. I fear companies are going to look at the decreased productivity and conclude that remote work isn’t viable for them.

The Yelp integration is so terrible because Yelp forces you to download the app to see any information.

My flow is: Find place via Apple Maps, click the reviews, get sent to Yelp's mobile website that says "We don't do mobile websites, download the app", then I say screw it and open up Google Maps.

Once coyotes establish themselves, you can never get rid of them. If you try to exterminate them, they just start having larger litters until their population recovers. They are adaptable and cunning. I hope that South America’s animals are ready for them, because they can permanently change an ecosystem.

Skiing has never been cheaper for the people that actually use the passes. Last year I skied ~40 days, at 8 different resorts in 3 states, for a total of $650.

Of course if I were flying in for a 4 day trip once a year vs living near the resorts, I’d be singing a different story.

In response to Prism, they immediately started encrypting all internal traffic. They were not willing participants and were likely furious to discover they were infiltrated.

Their competition includes Nvidia, that is testing a streaming service that allows you to buy games through other platforms (Steam, Uplay, maybe others) and stream them from the cloud.

If you are ever in the Black Hills, I suggest skipping Crazy Horse. You can see it from the road and the museum is nothing special. I’ve been there twice, once in 2003 and once in 2017. Absolutely 0 visible work has been made on the sculpture, despite two blasts per year.

My hypothesis is that the sculptor was completely unqualified to sculpt a mountain, and that physics are preventing the outstretched hand from ever being completed. The people running Crazy Horse realize this, but there is too much money so they need to keep up the charade.

I think that permits should only be used sparingly at National Parks. For a lot of people, their only exposure to the outdoors comes from "that one family out west trip". If we want people to pressure politicians to protect public lands, the more people that feel a connection to those public lands the better.

I view National Parks as a sacrificial public land. Let them be overly crowded in order to keep all the amazing BLM, state parks, national forests/prairies, etc... special.

Yes. It’s trespassing.

I use JSON to store my resume, and Latex to format it.

Here is a snippet:

```

\begin{luacode}

require("lualibs.lua")

local file = io.open('data.json')

local jsonstring = file:read('*a')

file.close()

local jsonData = utilities.json.tolua(jsonstring)

-- Header -- local personal = jsonData["personal"]

-- Education -- local education = jsonData["education"]

tex.print('\\section{Education}')

for key, value in pairs (education) do

  tex.print('\\cventry{' .. value["year"] .. '}{' .. value["degree"] .. '}{' .. value["school"] .. '}{' .. value["location"] .. '}{}{' .. value["specialty"] .. '}')

end

```

Can you go in more depth about this? How did you integrate it with the entertainment system, and what do specifically do you do with it?
