Amazfit watch gives a "score" that can be seen on device screen, in addition to the total hours and and breakdown per awake / REM / deep / light time.


Yes, many activity trackers do this.

It is interesting to wear 2 of the same trackers, one in each wrist, and see if they are close to agreeing.

I do that with 2 Mi Bands.

The variance of a single point estimate is infinite.


TFA says the task could be procrastination too

> And don't forget that it could be "take a nap"!


Do you honestly think that my procrastination, or any other activity, needs permission from a list? There is nothing of substance that comes from writing something down, doing it, and crossing it off. It's a ritual of submission to your executive function. That submission has a price.

Look, I'm making an appeal to you, guys. This is called "Hacker News." Have all you Hackers gone corporate? Maybe you don't agree with me, but is my point really merely "self-absorbed" or "stupid" as one wag has put it?


You need to check your own privileges

Not everyone has had the luxuries of your life, some people need to actually work hard to get somewhere in life

Don't overgeneralize your experiences into others


And JS can detect that and send it back to the server.


I thought that it's hard to radiate-away heat in vacuum?


Dump the heat into the ground.


Seems that the World Map is "fixed" and does not rotate to keep it aligned with the hands (expectation is that New York hand should roughly point to New York on the map)?


It rotates on my machine... :(


Submitted lino includes hardcoded location, maybe that's what's tripping people up?


That's it!

I could've sworn I made sure not to include it when submitting. It does redirect to that if there's no location found so maybe HN updated the link to the redirect destination?

I'm pushing a change now to ignore this specific lat-lng combination and fallback to geolocation


Presumably when inhaled, since the lawsuit talks about talc containing asbestos.


Asbestos is an extremely stable mineral fiber and sharp like glass. If you get it on your skin it may penetrate but it will eventually probably slough off. If it gets in your lungs, it has nowhere to go and can continue damaging tissue for the rest of your life. Similarly, if it gets inside your body through other routes, it has nowhere to go. The lawsuit is about the product being marketed for feminine hygiene.

Presumably if women put it on their privates every day, and it contains asbestos fibers, they will eventually have enough asbestos migrate internally to cause cancer, for example, in their ovaries - just like asbestos causes lung cancer when inhaled.


Better translated as "Professor Fortran's Encyclopedia"?


Indeed. We'll change it. Thanks!

Submitted title was "Encyclopedia Professor Fortran" (which does have a Russian sound to it in English).


Highly recommend you look into keyboards that have "Enter" and "Backspace" reachable by thumb/index fingers. I've been dailying a TECK for nearly a decade, and it's helped immensely with RSI.

Their new Clevo keyboard is a bit different, so can't vouch for it, but my SO likes it so far as first foray into ergo keyboards: https://trulyergonomic.com/


Plover[1] and stenography has come up occasionally on HN, but I haven't seen anyone say they've given it a serious try.

I keep feeling like it would be good for emails and documentation, if not code. More text for fewer keypresses.

I would really want to try that, but it seems extremely tied to the language. for English that's cool, but I write code, greeklish (Greek with English characters) and English daily. That means that for these three I would need to configure things and that seems like waaaaay to high of an up front investment for a trial.


I used some generation of Truly Ergonomic for a few years and it started getting repeating/missing characters... at $250 it was too big of an expense for me to rebuy. While it worked though, I was very happy with it


My impression was that they used some slightly chattery Cherry MX keyswitches combined with a controller with a poor debounce routine. (The electrical output of many switches "bounces" quickly on and off a few times when changing states. This can cause dropped or doubled key presses if not accounted for by the keyboard controller.) I’m not sure if the batches of Cherry MX switches they had were bad, or if some amount of chatter is inevitable given the switch design.

From their marketing it looks like they have changed to (Kailh-made?) switches that use a light sensor instead of an electrical contact. https://trulyergonomic.com/ergonomic-keyboards/best-truly-er...

I guess that’s one alternative to implementing a better debounce routine.


You should try the ergodox. I similarly bought the TECK because I wanted an ergonomic keyboard with a standard-ish layout and loved it, but it died in a couple of years. After that I bought an Ergodox EZ and have been very happy with it.


I don't know how reliable that Canadian towers site is, it shows seemingly ridiculous number of towers in some suburban blocks?


It's based ISED's bimonthly CSV data dump of licensed radio transmitters. Heavy concentration of cellular antennas in some blocks might be because ISED's database lists even nano/picocells.
