Valid concern, but at the same time, if you start slowly, watch videos, record yourself and review your form, and listen to your body you'll be fine. Barbells are psychologically scary, but nobody worries about hiring a coach when they

I'm a big fan of both programs (I built a lot of my current strength with 5/3/1), but I just want to add a couple things for anyone starting out: 1. If you're new, realize that your muscles will get stronger faster than

Someone please explain to me how labeling the word 'black' as offensive represents some kind of social progress. It reminds me of that joke from The Office where Michael acts like the term "Mexican" is problematic. If th

I tried so hard to be a gamer on macOS, and I kept telling myself it would eventually get better. But I had to give up. You can't even turn off mouse acceleration, which is a bare-level requirement for RTS games like StarCraft. There

I've been a freelance iOS app developer for almost a decade. Apple has always operated this way. They have rules that are somewhat vague, and they choose when they want to enforce them and how they should be interpreted. For example:

It would be interesting to see how they count a "user" too. If a good portion of those 2 billion people don't use YouTube very much then the % of users who are using it regularly and subscribing might be a lot higher.

My point is that you've removed one instance of the Facebook SDK from your phone, but you still have 50 others. Plus probably hundreds of other analytics frameworks that you've never even heard of that are just as bad or worse.

So it sounds like Zoom was using the Facebook SDK, and now they're not. I've been and iOS developer for a long time. I can tell you from experience that everyone does this. I have never worked for anyone who didn't ask for

Yeah a firewall where you open a port, but have to plug a monitor and keyboard into your router every time you want to use it. I'm not "upset" that it needs authorization. I think it's a design flaw that you can't d

One thing that drives me nuts is the way you get a security popup when you're working in a terminal. So you're ssh'd into a mac, you try to do something (like xcodebuild or whatever), and then it just sits there doing nothing

I sure hope it's a war on VVC. I don't know why anyone would want a patent encumbered pay-to-use video codec over an open free one unless you're a stakeholder.

Mosh also refuses to cut a new release, even after almost two and a half years. If you want truecolor, for example, you have to build from source.

I, for one, would contribute to an ongoing "Project Jengo" type of thing, especially if it targeted the broader patent troll portfolio. I don't even think it would need a bounty system; just create something where people can

If you're a Linux user, a logical extension of this idea is to use a tiling window manager, and then you get the paneled window management for everything, not just your terminal. Being able to detach and re-attach to sessions is still
