I’ve wanted an app like this for ages. I’ve always suffered from analysis paralysis when trying to work out a good, short exercise routine. This looks like it will be the perfect solution — thank you!

Bin bag, bin lorry. I grew up saying dustbin but most people just call them bins these days.

I believe “dustbin” is from the Victorian era where what little rubbish people had was burnt in the fireplace. The “dustbin man” would come by and take away your fireplace ashes.

I’m not a doctor but perhaps try running with a smart watch that shows you your heart rate and put in an amount of effort that keeps your heart rate at about 60-70% of max. For now that may be a brisk walking pace not even a jog. As you get fitter your heart rate should come down for the equivalent speed. I also used to go for runs and hit max within a few minutes and stay there for the whole run but ultimately I think I was just pushing too hard.

When will the movie industry learn from the success of services like Spotify or DRM free music services like Bandcamp? I want media I can own, or consume from a single subscription. I would happily pay a few quid for a movie if I could download a high quality DRM free file. Piracy is not only free but provides a better product, a file you can do whatever you want with and watch anywhere.

Personally I don’t pirate, I prefer getting second hand physical media (funnily enough the movie studios miss out on any money there as well).

Read the post. It said that people trade in the wrong direction the majority of the time. So played the game with the strategy that I’d go 50x leverage long or short in the opposite direction to my initial hunch upon reading the headlines.

Ended up with a 1000% return. Just need a time machine now.

I love how many neat and handy features are baked into the iOS accessibility settings. Apple should make more noise about these features. I recently discovered there’s a white noise generator baked in which meant I could get rid of the annoying white noise app I had been using to keep my napping baby asleep. Another recent discovery was the on screen anti-motion sickness things that move around with the accelerometer. I get terrible motion sickness and they make a massive difference.

Reminds me of a similar situation I experienced while working on a big project. I came down with the flu and woke up in a delirious, feverish state at 2am feeling like I was trapped in the codebase and I needed to make all the tests pass so I could escape. It almost felt like my conscious brain had somehow found its way into the unconscious part.

But do LLMs dream of electric sheep?

I actually find this acts as a useful heuristic to bound the complexity of a diagram appropriately. For example if I'm making a diagram with Mermaid and find the code is becoming unwieldy, I take that as an indicator that I'm trying to stuff too much info into one diagram and I should split it into separate diagrams or redo it at a higher level of abstraction.

People do try to throw them away. A good chunk of my kids' lego collection is a mixed selection of blocks we found in a skip.

Comes down to personal preference at the end of the day. Would you rather know a lot about a bit or a bit about a lot. I’m definitely in the latter category.
