On a sidenote, what is this new style of writing using small sentences where each sentence is supposed to be a punchline?
"And most of those sequences? They don't fold into anything useful. They're junk. They aggregate into clumps. They get degraded by cellular quality control. Only a TINY fraction of possible sequences fold into stable, functional proteins."
Short sentence are good. Especially when you interact with low attention individuals. Make sure they stay engaged. It's not just a style. It's a game changer for your blog.
Any information on how comfortable the strap is? I am wearing a Garmin HRM Pro for one hour a day during workouts and it is not very comfy. I know a lot of athletes are moving to way less precise optical hand straps just because of the comfort issues with chest straps. I would not wear a chest strap for longer periods of time, unless I absolutely had to.
sadly, comfort for chest straps compared to hand straps is a known issue and ours is definitely no different. Wve done a bunch of tests, tried different materials/custom solutions, and honestly we're still clueless how to make it significantly better (if anyone here works in textiles or wearable fabrics, I'd love to connect). So yeah, if wearing your Garmin for more than an hour already feels uncomfortable, ours probably won't be much better in that regard
Great idea! Great website! Terrible video. The 90 second format is great, this is how much I would like to spend learning what exactly your product does. But the whole video is just clicking some user interfaces with no result. After watching the video, I have even less idea of what it the product is for. I would love to see a video that goes through the "next, next, next" in the wizard and then shows the actual outcome.
Great feedback, I'll work on the video ASAP. I intended to immediately create a follow-up video that steps through each component of a newly created decision, got distracted, never circled back.
Total Commander is still the first thing I install on every fresh Windows install for the last 20 or so years. Copy/move/delete etc keys are the same as in mc.
The best are the youtube movies that try to explain to amateurs how to use the horrible built in windows file manager WITH A MOUSE!.... while there is total commander.
Windows Explorer? It's not that bad. Granted, I only ever use it with the keyboard. But then you can tile two windows side-by-side (or four) and it's a bit like a commander of sorts.
The only time I ever have to use the mouse in WE is when I try to move to the Quick Access side-bar: sometimes focus gets lost somewhere around all the bloody menus I never use and I can't place it where I want it. It's weird and I'm not describing it clearly because it happens only occasionally and I don't understand exactly how.
This still implies that the person who is currently paying freelance programmers is 1) good with LLMs 2) knows some html and js 3) can deploy the updated website.
You're probably right that these people still need some baseline technical skills currently, but I'm really not assuming anything here – this is something we've seen multiple of our clients do in recent months.
It's funny you say they need to be able to deploy the update to be honest because we had a client just last week email a collect of code snippets to us which they created with the help of AI.
This is the problem we have though because we're not just building simple websites which we can hand clients FTP creds for. The best we can do is advise them to learn Git and raise a PR which we can review and deploy ourselves.
Honestly, every point you mention in my opinion is positive.
- if you feel like using static classes and methods, you should spend more time thinking about architecture
- namespaces are just what they are
- in modern IDEs just write /// before a member declaration, it will insert the whole comment block for you
Static methods in modern C# are either extension methods or some other very rare cases like mathematical functions.
The super complicated comments become readable and useful when you hover the mouse cursor over something. There are also tools that can parse those comments and create documentation.
