Probably when you stop, for example while at a stop light. This is how Waze is doing it too.

My problem with blue apron is with all the waste/trash generated by their packaging. I tried their services and the recipes were ok — although for someone that likes to cook or is a more experienced cook, their service is not worth it.

An interesting tangent: sound can be recovered from visual information too:

We're evaluating PM solutions and Workmajig is one of the contenders. Do you mind sharing your experience with it?

You can use IFTT to automatically archive the songs from the Discover Weekly playlist to another playlist.

Same here. There are a lot of advantages if you use a credit card to pay for most things, as long as you pay the balance in full every month.
Re:Ask HN: What keeps you from exercising? on Friday August 12, 2016 @04:08PM (#12278414)
You just need to find something that you like doing and doesn't feel like a chore. For me it's soccer - I would play every day if given a chance (too bad that my wife wouldn't agree with that though). It's so much fun that I play even if I'm injured and know I shouldn't.

I also go to the gym 4-5 times a week. This is harder to get into. What works for me is going over lunch time. It's a 10 minute walk to my gym and I spend about 35-40 minutes there lifting weights. I would probably go less if I had to go after work as I am usually tired and I have a 40 min commute. If you're looking into starting to lift weights I recommend doing StrongLifts 5x5 - It's beginner friendly.

Re:2016 Stack Overflow Developer Survey Results on Thursday March 17, 2016 @08:27PM (#11308881)
I noticed the same. Maybe the results are skewed a little bit by the SO audience but I think it's a real trend.
It's more probable that the knee pain was related to your running habit :)
100% agree. That's how I grew up too and I never felt like I needed/wanted more space.
