    How long until the AI estimates how fast you were going based on the time you were tagged at 2 cameras? The system says travel between these cameras should take 3 minutes. You made…

    If you’re on a Mac, I recommend qlmarkdown. It’s a customizable quick look renderer for markdown (md) files. https://github.com/sbarex/QLMarkdown

    Exactly my experience. After my last couple races or long workouts, my HRV dipped a few ms for a few days before coming back to normal. In this case, it’s not telling me anything I…

    I’ve heard about 75-85/25-15, but just round it to 80/20. Zone 3/Tempo sessions can help to raise speed so that Z2 is faster for the same intensity. Obviously lower intensity worko…

    Careful there. By combining running and cycling, you’re 2/3 of the way to triathlons. And why suck at 1 sport when you can suck at 3?

    Not that it’s perfect, far from it, but Movies Anywhere is a baby step in the right direction for at least Movies (on some services).

    I have a limited background in computing hardware, but I really appreciate the thought he puts into explaining both the why and how. His 8-bit CPU videos are just amazing, and even…

    And the “include_link.mk” file. Yea, that’s probably a good thing.

    As a non-developer, the whole situation with a bad software update to the Voyager spacecraft really puts things into perspective as far as how bad remote updates can be. It’s also …

    It certainly caused me to rethink my spending. I signed up for Apple One Premium as soon as it was available. With the latest hikes, I’ve ditched the bundle and now I just have Mus…

    Sam’s club has the app checkout, which I prefer to waiting in line at Sam’s. Just scan everything as you go using your own phone. Tap pay and bypass the line (or at least the check…

    Yeah. I came here to post this. It’s funny that the article lists the XR as compatible when the XS and XR were released at the same time (A12 bionic SoC).
