I'd just like to be able to get music off my iPhone to my mac without having to buy a third party app or buy a subscription to Apple Music.

Yeah there’s loads of research into it for both bikes and wheelchairs. Here’s a video from Cycling About that gives a good overview: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Lb4ktAbmr_4

> Interesting, I've had 2 Garmin Smart Watches and never felt like Apple was restricting them. Apple block Garmin watches from replying to text messages as they do on Android for example. Only Apple Watches are allowed to do that.

I like the reference to Stanley Kubrick's Barry Lyndon. For anyone interested, the story of how he was able to film by candle light[1] is a really interesting bit of engineering in the pursuit of art. 1. https://neiloseman.c

You could disprove that by letting a bike, without rider, roll down a slope. If it rolls oriented forwards it will stay upright by itself because of the steering. If it rolls oriented backwards it falls over because the steering now pushes

You don't think things like indexed gears, suspension, hydraulic brakes or lighter materials are innovations? Even dropper seat posts are a useful recent innovation IMHO.

There are plenty of lovely steel bikes but steel is definitely less common for performance reasons. It's neither more durable or lighter than frames made of aluminium, titanium or carbon fibre. For example, a typical frame made of stee

This sounds very like some of the high-rise estates built in the UK in the past. The experience here was... not good. I think what Barcelona has done is a much better model.

It's always worth reading Against Railway-Oriented Programming[1] before you commit to using it. Personally I've dealt with enough Trailblazer code now that for business logic I think I'd much rather work with a simple ruby c

There’s loads of good books like Machinery Handbook but I generally just keep a set of Roebuck Zeus Tables in my pocket. I love the Workshop Practice Series books including this one on the screw cutting lathe[1] is a good introduction. As m

I bought a small screw-cutting lathe during lockdown. Ever since I've found my self looking a small metal parts and wondering if/how I would make them on my lathe. i.e. what order of operations I would use, how would I hold the wo

Do you think so? My hardware vendor is Dell and I bought my XPS13 as a Developer Edition with Linux out of the box. Everything I've read suggests that this is just a fiddly config issue and setting up the correct script combination wo

Linux desktops definitely are usable but there are still rough edges. e.g. in Gnome when I open a media file with VLC the focus remains on Files app even if the video opened fullscreen over the top. So when I press space to pause I inste

This is really interesting. As Ruby gets better async and multiprocessing tools via fibres and ractors it will be interesting to see what style of concurrency suits it best. i.e. Go I've used ConcurrentRuby on JRuby for years as a stab

Hey, I'm not telling you the joke isn't funny. Burr cracks me up. I'm just saying that Armstrong did more than just cheat in bike races.

Yes I agree. I love Giant Sequoias and have fantasised many times about purchasing a sapling to guerilla plant in my local woods. I've never quite found the perfect spot to do it though.

My personal hate is when webpages rebind scrolling to zoom. I haven't used a mouse in almost 15 years. It's a constant source of annoyance when I try to scroll something with a map with my trackpad and it goes crazy zooming in an

It's an argument for going straight to small claims court. I wonder if there's amount of time they can keep you on hold before you can claim their not answering their phones.

Yeah this video is just cheesy strawman arguments. Make a claim that's not true then argue passionately about why it's a bad idea. Like droning on about scaffolding without acknowledging that it's just get you going training

I own (and prefer) a Garmin smartwatch but I actually think Apple got it right with the square screen. A round display suits analogue watch faces but square is better for utility. E.g. map reading or lots of data fields during exercise. Whe

I don't think this is about trade restrictions. Given the I-Soon leak I think it's incredibly naive to think that China isn't using data from the cranes for malicious purposes. https://eu.usatoday.com/story&#x

That's a great example, thanks. From the timeline that bridge was built in 1857 so I guess still dominated by foot traffic. It might be better for traffic capacity but I think Rochester must have lost something special when they remove
