Thank you! Native apps not released yet but you are welcome to try the web app at my.strengthlevel.com

I'm working on a workout API and native apps (iOS/Android) for Strength Level [1] as another interface for my.strengthlevel.com [2]. Strength Level helps you understand your relati…

The Faber Book of Science by John Carey I’m a professional HN lurker but I can’t not contribute this one. The book all scientists should have read and would love, but haven’t heard…

Thank you for the encouragement! Did you find any areas to improve? The seed standards reference data is mainly from publicly available race data in CSV form and common running for…

I built Running Level https://runninglevel.com/ recently along the same lines as my other site Strength Level https://strengthlevel.com/ but have only done a soft launch. Gyms are …

Yes, so we have to say you are better than 75% of other users instead of 75% of humans. Do you have any advice in this area?

Thanks for the positive feedback. It would be great to monetize Strength Level, to fund further development and expand its capabilities. We have two ideas at the moment: 1. iPhone …

I like this a lot. Could we make it the default theme?

That's a great point. Photoshop has extensive capabilities for visual rearrangement and transformation. Once the core design is created it can be cut up and extended with further X…

In the first year all of us do Computer Science (2 papers), Mathematics (1 paper), and a science subject (1 paper, I did Physics). It is predominantly theoretical (something I foun…

As a student at Cambridge, I doubt Oxford is "far" more theoretical. The London Universities like Imperial are also notable for focusing on theory over practice. I think they assum…

Reading that letter makes me proud of the Security Group at Cambridge University. Ross Anderson took us for a couple of Security courses in second/third year Computer Science and w…

I went into the theatre not knowing what to expect. I left dumbstruck, somewhat in doubt of the world. What if I was three levels deep and this wasn't the real world? It was great …

That would be great.
