You should, but you should always apply as early as possible.

The main reason the jobs are reposted are to get them to the top of the feed

With the person wearing the watch. It’s no different to someone walking around with a lapel mic

Where I live it’s forbidden so I’m pretty confident that nobody is doing it, at least unintentionally.

They said all their tests are written by agents so probably, yeah.

I have a soft gold ring, and I lift. I take my ring off to lift or it would get absolutely destroyed.

> The most important metric to me was the sleep score and related components. I've noticed my performance (mentally and physically) is tied to sleep in a huge way. I was skeptical that it would capture sleep metrics accurately, but after about a year of use, I can say without question that the number it presents as my sleep score is a very good proxy of how good I feel throughout the day.

For so many things, the absolute number being correct doesn’t matter, what’s more important is having _a_ scale that iou can use to chart against whatever you want. A “sleep score” doesn’t need to be accurate as long as it’s measuring the same thing (and that thing is the correct thing). Calorie counting is the same - it doesn’t matter if I think my breakfast is 500 calories but it’s actually 600 - as long as I consistently enter it incorrectly and measure my weight, I know I need to reduce my portion size somewhere.

Agreed. It has been consistent enough that I can make a pretty accurate guess each morning based on how I feel. With a consistent scale, I can work on the components (timing, duration, and other factors like alcohol, etc.) and I've made big improvements over the year.

So you don’t actually need the ring? :)

This is actually a serious question: I would want to use a smart ring for the things I can’t tell by myself. But then I also can’t judge the accuracy and consistency of the corresponding measures.

I can estimate a portion of rice within about 5-10% without a scale, but I needed the scale to learn what the portion was in the first place.

same thing applies to the ring!

The internet revolted against 8 and stuck on 7 until it was EOL’ed and went straight to 10. I don’t recall 10 being positively received, but the hate has moved to windows 11. I’m happy to be corrected though.

The problem with 8 was that the UI was designed for a touch screen without a thought given to the fact that most users were going to be driving it with a mouse. Reliability-wise, it was perfectly fine.

The problem with 10 was that it was pushed as a "security update" on Windows Update. It was force-fed to unwitting/unwilling Windows 7 users like caged geese at a foie-gras farm.

That betrayal was arguably the first step towards the near-total enshittification of Windows that we see today, if you don't count the introduction of product activation with Windows XP.

It absolutely does.

Disagree. They’re stored _somewhwre_ anyway, and they may as well be versioned.

Putting toolchains in perforce is how it works for lots of C++ shops, the setup instructions are “sync and hit build”, whether there’s a toolchain upgrade required or not

I really, really don’t want to carry a second clunky device around with me.

Isn’t that the case already for most devices? I can pay £80 and have a guy show up in a van and replace the battery in my iPhone in his van in 30 minutes or so.

Yes, and a lot of that happened in preparation for this specific EU directive.

This happens a lot, see Samsung and Apple announcing more years of security updates and feature updates, Apple announcing the switch to USB-C for the iPhone.

Once it's clear the EU will not budge, some big companies will just switch over in advance, other companies will lag.

The guy has trained himself to replace iPhone batteries and carries special tools for each model of iPhone in his van because it's not a simple process. The new law says he should only need a screwdriver set (roughly).

This is what the OP said, and what I was replying too.
