Can you share some posts of good examples of prompts and comparisons?

by maccard 2mo ago
Great - can you show us some examples of these? Every time this topic comes up here it’s full of people saying “you’re using it wrong” and apparently it should just be intuitive. Yet all the material is like this.

I find the whole “get the thing close enough to the reader” action to be difficult with the watch.

I’m not using it for live-live data, or for mapping recovery times, I’m just using it to gauge 120 vs 140 vs 175 heart rate while running

Not the person you replied to but - I do my best to disable as many notifications as possible. It’s just DMs, group chats, email and banking.

Is that really new compared to the friend who will look at their phone every time it pings, or my parents who will stop mid conversation and answer a phone call?

> ordering via the app can help a little... I’ve used the app once - it was slower than ordering at the kiosk, I was bombarded by ads and promos, and they didn’t pre cook my food.

I had a flip phone. It was silly, and a waste of money, but I’d buy another one. It was fun, quirky and a bit different to the general black rounded rectangle.

I can’t say I’ve ever found myself thinking “I wish I had more RAM” on my phone. On laptop, I’d take it in a heartbeat but on my phone (which has 6GB) I’m perfectly happy.

I love my Apple Watch. Alerts mean I don’t look at my phone which means I don’t unlock it and get sidetracked. I have plenty of ways to tell the time so it’s actually kind of useless for that. It’s a passable golf watch, a passable fitness

I worked at a big corp and we paid out randoms for a program (not bug bounty). It was an absolute minefield, people would lie to us about where they were located only for us to find out they’re in <insert sanctioned country here> and

Yep, and the cost is borne by the receiver of the letter. The person sending shitty LawyerGPT messages will just keep doing it until there’s consequences, but there aren’t any.

No, it really doesn’t.

I’ve had the same experience as the parent (well, 7am). No idea but it was a marked difference.

Yeah - that’s what I mean by it being a self reinforcing cycle. I have no kids which helps hugely, but I have a checklist of things to do that I made during a period when I was feeling good and had good habits. I don’t think it matters what

We allowed people to choose their own equipment at a job about 15 years ago. That policy stopped when in the open office, someone chose a mechanical keyboard with blue switches…

Yeah we had the same thing. We had one person choose a massive curved ultra wide screen and then decide they didn’t like it so it sat in the hall beside their office for 6 months. > the only sustainable solution I’ve seen is when enginee

Being charitable to OP, I think their advice is to look after your health before hyper focusing on your sleep. I’ve had a similar experience - the better I care for my body the better my sleep is (and the opposite is a self reinforcing cycl

Anecdotally, I’m a night owl by default but if I force myself up for exercise at 7am, I am tired that night and I am better (mentally and physically) that day. My workouts aren’t as good as if they were after work, but it doesn’t matter if

Yeah, I replaced my 24 inch with a 27 inch and it's too big to have two of them on my desk.

The happiest I have ever been with my monitors was with 2x 24 inch 1440 displays (dell s2421sgf) - it’s not an IPS display but it’s a single panel high refresh rate with solid software support and good color mapping. I calibrated it and it

It’s predominantly artists, and art pipelines are usually fairly scalable .

For the most part, those teams are art teams. At my last studio, we had more artists than programmers, designers and producers combined. Games are still being made by small teams and succeeding - “sir we have an orc problem” was a 4 month p

I think you’re technically right, but the point of the connector is to indicate what it will work with. It’s all well and good until you grab one of the white or black cables and put the wrong one bacj. > they get everything they want No

You’re somewhat underplaying it - plugging a cheapo random Chinese knock off cable into my MacBook is effectively useless. Plugging a 480Mb cable into a thunderbolt dock is effectively useless. > The only optional feature you'll run

In the alternative world I use the cable that came with the device and I can tell apart from the other 10 black cables.

But the current situation is I can take two devices with a USB C connector, connect them with a USB c cable, and they won’t work. Is that really better?
