I am currently working on a breastfeeding tracker for Garmin devices. It is already released a time ago, but I want to include a companion app for this app.

I used it with my first child, and it helped me greatly. After releasing the support has been amazing and I recently passed 1000 downloads :)

I am hoping to extend the functionality with more insights and helpful tips (double-checked with professionals) to help young parents with the beauty of breastfeeding their newborn children.

Don't underestimate the will of young children to do what is 'forbidden'. Especially when in puberty, they will find ways.

They are humans as well and can therefore think ;)

Stand up at around 6:15, no snoozing the alarm. Get a glass of water and some yoghurt, cereals, fruit or bread, at least something light and not too heavy because after that I run around 30 minutes with my dog. This is my exercise and the dog needed to walk anyway. I do this 5 times a week.

After that drink a cup of coffee, and another glass of water, after which I first go to work at around 7:30, where I start with reviews, testing changes, and get through email. Standup is at 9:15, when I get another cup of coffee. The rest of the day is just cruising along; coding some stuff, fixing bugs, having some meetings etc... Usual SWE stuff.

Having started early, I can finish early, which gives me time for cooking, which I find very important. Because I already had my exercise in the morning, evenings are for me, my family and friends.

Weekends are similar, except I wake whenever I naturally awake, so my body and mind can recover where necessary, Although most of the time I still am awake at around 7:00.

This routine works very well for me. I try to keep low on alcohol and caffeine, of which the first one is going very well, but the second one a little less since I had a child a few months ago. Oh well...

Author here. I made a simple small app for my wife to track breastfeedings and bottles on her Garmin smartwatch.

I deliberately made it simple without fluff. You have a baby in your hand while feeding, so the app needs to get out of the way :)

Happy to answer questions!

A Dutch satire program had an item on this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WflYjsaC19g). A lot of these injuries is with the elderly and the teenagers. It is suggested that this due to the rise of e bikes, which go faster.

A helmet should be required for ebikes.

Or program a GUI interface using visual basic to track the killers IP address.

I get your point, but the fact remains that the interface is miles ahead of Google, just by not having all the garbage.

The results are fine for me in day to day usage and I find that Google will not provide me with better results if I cant find it on DDG.

Would it be better if they had their own indexer? Maybe...

What's even more frustrating was the removal of 32-bit apps in Catalina and the continued deprecation of OpenGL. So many functional apps where the developers have lost interest are now non-functional. Not to even start on the irritating, vista-like security prompts for apps that are not signed (which in development is a lot...).

MacOS has become less and less pleasant to use in that last 3 to 5 years for me as a developer, because of this. Which is such a shame, because the new Macbook Pro's are really amazing machines, hardware-wise. Great keyboard, Magsafe, no Touchbar, amazing screen and great battery life.

I will be requesting a Linux (or Windows.. whatever) laptop at work if this one dies.

Counts become incredibly slow on some databases like Postgres. It needs to do a sequential scan, which results in slow(er) performance on even a ten- thousands of rows. When operating at scale, this is very, very slow.

I find it hard to call this a good argument for why this is. If an appliance does not work out of the box, it is not finished and not ready to ship to customers.

The game industry does this, which is crap, but appliances are people use to cook their meals and should not be unfinished.

If you are right, it should be illegal.

Booking at the venue itself will almost always be cheaper and provide more luxuries like a free drink in the bar or free breakfast.

The third party takes a cut of the cost. The hotel wants that cut badly, so just call them up, say you found a cheaper price at the third party and see what they do. They will likely give you a better offer and they themselves will have a better profit as well in the proces.

Don't get me wrong, but that implies she is not using Firefox as her daily driver.

Changing the icon to, shudder, the edge icon might help and call it "Internet" and maybe she will use it. Most people do not really know, or care, that their browser is.

I do this with very un - techsavvy people and install uBo and they have a fairly safe time online.
