Re:Garmin's –$40B Pivot on Tuesday January 21, 2025 @11:46AM (#42782197)
forerunner 265 - I've used it for running triathlons and marathons and have had no issues. Garmin has great automated training plans where you can upload various races you're preparing for and Garmin will schedule your runs so that you can meet your time goals. Also highly recommend the vibrating metronome feature to improve your cadence. This feature has dramatically reduced the number of injuries I get. I don't use it to track gym workouts (e.g. lifting). There is a feature for that but I haven't tried it. If you want to really nerd out on your running the HRM Pro Plus provides amazing running dynamics information which again is very helpful for improving running form and reducing injuries.

For women you may want to look at the forerunner 265S which is identical to the forerunner 265 but is slightly smaller. The HRM-fit I believe gives the same data as the HRM Pro Plus but is designed to fit under a sports bra

I would encourage you to read why Stallman resigned from MIT [1]. The emails that were “leaked” were not private discussions. They were sent to email lists that included everyone in CSAIL and to be frank, were awful.

Here is a link to the emails [2].

that’s awesome but when would it be useful? wouldn’t that lead to data loss?
how did you manage real time collaboration in sveltekit? are relying completely on firebase?

i agree it’s great. some minor ux issues. for example if i select text then click highlight it should highlight the selected text. keyboard shortcuts for annotation would be amazing.

Having a good mental model of a language seems like one of the fastest ways to be more productive in that language. Do you have any recommended resources for developing a strong mental model of python? For reference, Dan Abramov’s course JustJavascript [1] provides an amazing mental model of JavaScript, and Josh Comeau’s css for js developers [2] course provides an amazing model for understanding css. I have 5+ years programming in python but admittedly do not know much about the internals so my mental model is pretty weak!

Ahh I love this. Would be very useful for tools like foam for vscode or dendron. A lot of these tools would benefit from an off thread asynchronous language server. Because most of them use the same features, most notably double bracket links and hashtags, a generic implementation could support a lot of these tools

This reads like the reply to the Dropbox release.

Absolutely worth it. Top 3 books I’ve ever read on web design
Re:List of Epidemics on Sunday January 26, 2020 @08:42AM (#22152014)
probably focused on pandemic illnesses rather than seasonal illnesses. seasonal illnesses kill more people over time but pandemic illnesses are potentially more dangerous since people often don't have antibodies to fight them.
Not sure what you mean by that

finally found a way to do it with applescript objective c :)

Yea I was trying to find a way to do it with code that's by default shipped on the mac. Unfortunately imagemagick is not. And the php functions to actually add text to an image are not loaded by default. Maybe I can do something by converting the images to pdfs. The speed of the program isn't an issue it just has to be completely automated.

How did you get the watermarks. Programmatically and if so how. Or did they come that way
