For me, I don't always go with a CPA because I've had bad experiences where they've made mistakes or didn't know about some basic things and I still ended up doing a lot of work to gather and pass along the information.
I've had the same issue with the Fitness app on my smart watch (and others like Readwise). I wanted to keep the streak alive for the sake of it, but I was starting to get hurt. For Readwise, it was just becoming mindless daily review.
Thankfully I got out of it and am much more consciously breaking streaks.
The downside is that I've clearly been exercising a lot less since I stopped focusing on the streak, so it works in some ways…
We should have a way to adjust what we consider a streak: maybe a daily streak is important to you, but maybe 3 times a week is what matters to you. Having the option for each app would be great.
Yeah, daily streaks make no sense for strenuous exercise. Everyone needs a rest day. Makes more sense for food, though. Since you usually never skip a day of consumption.
It’s a bit frustrating for how much time is spent showing a screen.
However, making the same video with screen capture would require a good amount of editing to also show the toothbrush. Here everything seems to be in one take. I don’t blame him; as easy as it is now, editing is still time consuming.
> how useful is said feature if you can just use ChatGPT yourself.
Integrating the access to ChatGPT in your product can be very valuable to the user. The basic thing is that it removes the need to copy and paste from your product and then back from ChatGPT.
Beyond that, it allows the product to automatically inject relevant context in the prompt.
Simple example: an email client can add “this is a reply to this email sent by so.and.so@email.com: {email}”.
I looked at my `~/.ssh/known_hosts` file and that key is associated with a few IP addresses in addition to github.com. Those lines stayed after I ran `ssh-keygen -R github.com`.
I imagine that I also need to remove those other lines manually, but isn't that something that GitHub should have mentioned? I'm not sure in which circumstances these got added either…
I work at Superhuman. We used to have code to detect Vimium, though we evidently we removed it very recently, while working on something tangentially related. It was working but definitely finicky over the years.
The initial way we checked for it was looking for document.body.matches('*[_vimium-has-onclick-listener]') but apparently that stopped working in 2018. We then used a variation of this code: https://github.com/hackape/Detect-Vimium/blob/master/detect-... which seems to work still.
> these days is there any good reason to back up the rest of your system
From experience, there is definite need. I spilled some water on my work laptop and it died. I was able to get a replacement in maybe 3 hours, but setting everything up again was a major pain.
A Time Machine backup would have let me continue more or less where I left off in a matter of an hour or two, vs. many hours/days (and some lost work). (not that Time Machine is perfect either, but much better than just iCloud)
I agree that getting rid of system cruft can be good, but it's better handled proactively than on machine failure IMO.
I had the same issue happen but on a fax machine. Naturally, I couldn't hear anything when the 911 operator picked up, so I continued to try out various combinations, until the watchman and a cop showed up to check on the situation: just me trying to fax something abroad late at night.
