Found the anecdote at the end about him diagnosing problems while on a modern computer automated aircraft fascinating. Of course the roll of flight engineer was going to go disappear but it seems the are still knowledge gaps that modern pilots have that this roll was able to better address.
In Search of...[0] was the introductory conspiracy show for baby boomers.
The X Files was GenX's turn at the Art Bell wheel[1].
Stranger Things[2] is built on these foundations for the younger generation sprinkled generously with nostalgia of those eras of conspiracy television.
For WatchOS, you would start by running the Sleep App[0] and notice that there is an issue with your sleep stages.
Next you might move onto an app, like SnoreLab[1] where you record the audio of your sleep each night and can listen back to where you are having sleep interruptions. At that point, you would likely hear your breathing process.
Moving onto the Withings Sleep Analyzer[3] (as shown in the article) will fill out your data but by step 2, you will should probably already be setting up an appointment with your doctor for sleep apnea.
The Economist ran a story the other week on the topic of food costs talking about how the tomato can be looked at as a type of energy store & how British supermarkets differ from other European supermarket chains by rationing out veg rather than increasing pricing. [0] This was to say the "shortages" were more of a quirk of the British market rather than purely due to Brexit.
Not sure what the end-game is in this line of thinking but the consistent narratives against both charitable giving or government intervention to produce institutions of social assistance can not be good for the unfortunate and marginalized.
Garmin user for ages. Forerunner 9 series is my jam but you might want to find what works in your price point along with the need-to-have/want-to-have feature matrix of your choosing. Garmin's UX is stuck in the Symbian era of OS design. So I appreciate the competition that Apple brings to this segment.
Sport gear reviewer DC Rainmaker has a full write up on the good/bad/ugly of the Apple watch for athletes[0]. He also has plenty of other reviews on other brands of sports watches if you want to see what is out there for you.
All great points. It is also a young enough language that significant kernal dev can have significant influence on the future of the language itself. CPP's future seems to be predicated upon its past adoption.
Here is a 30 minute podcast episode titled, "Different, But Not Worse," on SwiftUI vs UIKit.[0] This thoughtful take is a whole lot less adversarial towards adopting SwiftUI than what you tend to read on this forum.
I don't know if other travelers have run into this but somewhat regularly when I arrive in a different major metropolitan area, I will get scam-spam calls within a day spoofed from that area code despite the fact that my phone number has nothing to do with that region and I haven't been in that specific location either ever or at least a longtime. It happens in both North America and Europe.
I know fake base stations might not be the reason for scammers targeting my phone but would be curious if others have seen this and have their own hypothesis?
I haven't personally experienced that, but I suspect the explanation is simpler: someone is probably re-selling your geocoded IP, which is then bucketed into a range of telephone area codes.
Interesting. Never saw the spam numbers transition either when travelling or when living in a new area long term.
I only ever get spoofed number calls from the area code of my cell phone number. Works out pretty well because I only lived there in passing 12 years ago, so never wonder if I'm missing a real call by ignoring them.
Not sure why the calls would be scam calls though. It would be one thing if they were legitimate marketing spam calls originating from phone number traceable back to the business originating the conversation but these are clearly cases where the number is faked in the new area code/country::city code in order to incentivize picking up. (Is that the car rental company? Is the hotel reaching out for some reason? Etc...)
I guess my paranoia here stems from this link in the OPs pdf[0].
