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 …

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…

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 …

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 tha…

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…

> 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 elect…

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 b…

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 r…

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 ch…

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 signif…

> 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 "c…

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 b…

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…

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 lan…

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…

> 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 …

> 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 person…

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 th…

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 ca…

As someone who really enjoys coffee, this is wild seeming to me. Have you sought out "different" coffees, or just don't naturally encounter them? For example, have you ever had any…

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…

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 coffe…
