The TrackFace stuff is in example apps (consumers of the SDK), so AFAICT it's doing what you want: unit conversion in the front end. That said, while I think you picked an example that undermines your point, the point…
Acknowledging I'm in a small niche, programmable high quality GPS watches are kind of not really a thing. As a developer, I find the hardware offering compelling and is something I jumped on. Agreed that it won't reach…
Not that it changes any of the rest of your comment, but from their Kickstarter campaign updates it seems like there are at least ~800 watches out there (and the public store just launched).
It's not Windows only, it runs on Linux just fine (not virtualized). It started Windows-only, but has quickly been patched up to run on Linux.
If you're looking for modern GPS, then this watch is really it right now. It's a pretty sparse landscape. Would love to hear about other watches, I ordered this one for exactly that reason as I couldn't find anything…
I ordered the watch and just had it show up this week. The software side of it seems pretty immature (as you'd expect from first launch), but there's visible progress from the tiny team already. Appeals to me to be able…
> Based on my electrical costs of about $0.35/kwh Definitely it's massively less compelling in areas with extremely high electricity costs. That's pretty much as expensive as electricity gets in North America, isn't it?…
I have a hard time with threads like this because it feels like half the comments are straight out of an Apple ad. "It's simple", "It just works", "PC is some nerd twiddling bits but Mac is cool and gets things done".…
I have a Garmin Fenix 6 that definitely can do this, I do it all the time. You can customize the display so that it only displays the heart rate, or e.g. the heart rate and heart rate zones. While the Fenix 6 is…
In what way is that question antisemitic?
I think this is too loaded and subjective to form a useful conversation around. Maybe you can expand and get more specific answers? For example, > Android phones still feel like cheap plastic to me I personally think…
Yeah, I get that. I think just a terminology thing. It seems like you're using "casual" to describe your mindset whereas I'm understanding "casual" to be offhand, or without significant investment. Forgetting about the…
> I’m more-or-less a casual runner > I typically run about 100km/week This feels pretty naive or disingenuous. I'm pretty sure vanishingly few people understand 100km/week to be "casual". While you may not feel like…
I think generally "green building" (at least the mainstream stuff) focuses on insulation + air tightness, and then mechanical ventilation. In that context, operable windows would be mostly be a "just in case of…
Is it possible your parent's house is not well insulated/sealed? Potentially _really_ uninsulated? I've talked to people here (45 degrees latitude) who are happily using their heat pumps and we're looking at models for…
Is this an actual construction technique in real life (beyond DIY-ers)? Is there a name for it?
I'm not sure, reading the local stats really discouraged me and also made me aware of some stuff I had been recycling that wasn't actually handled so would be redirected to the landfill anyways. I guess because some is…
I think by and large recycling programs could generally be described as "a sham" pretty accurately. I'm sure there are good programs somewhere, but locally I think it was estimated (ballpark, just trying to remember)…
> I've had "good" black coffee. Too acidic and bitter. Without trying to talk you out of your preference, I think there's a distinction that might be useful here. A "good" buttery chardonnay isn't going to be enjoyable…
> I've tried some of the pretentious coffee before. It's just not as good. It distracts from life. Cheap standard coffee just gets out of the way and enhances life. While my personal preference is the opposite, I guess…
I think this is the same principle as pretty much everything. Variety is almost always sought after, and then within that variety specific characteristics are cherished. I think the "anti dark roast" thing is "anti…
Ah, then I'm following. I would generally agree with you! Despite the labeling differences, I think almost all of those are going to be roasted to the point where that's all you can taste (rather than the bean). In a…
I experienced a very similar thing. With the pandemic I've been splurging on coffees, exploring different types, finding ones I really enjoy. Then I went out into the world and had a coffee from a regular ol' sandwich…
I agree that it's not really about the "quality" of the taste of the thing, I strongly disagree it's generally about tribal membership and signaling. I'm reasonably deep into coffee snobbery now, but not as a part of…
Without any idea how to do anything, I was able to use the cheapest DJI drone (Mini 2) and ODM to stitch together a giant orthophoto of my parent's maple sugar bush. It overlays extremely nicely over Google Maps without…
