Re: You Say EEther, I Say AYEther

zimpenfish — Wed, 05 Apr 2017 04:28:33 -0000

Thinking about it (UK, English, middle-aged), I'm fairly sure I use both but "AYEther" seems to be winning when I'm thinking of examples ("AYEther one or the other.", "I don't get it AYEther".) But I'd definitely say "Me EEther".

Sounds kinda like the bikeshed argument if you have "nuclear power station" as "not language" and "bike shed" as "language" - http://bikeshed.org/

Similar here - I use the Podquisition for long walks which isn't really doable with the written or video content.

I reckon about half of those are shared with English (lollie, lino, choccy, Woollies, brekky, footy, toastie, cossie, etc.) No idea if that's convergent evolution or copying though.

And in 2015, we still don't have webhooks...

Have you considered allowing updates from other barometers like the StormTag? e.g. https://www.kickstarter.com...

"couscous" should be another degree 4. "undergrounder" is degree 5 and in OED as a derivative of "underground".

I don't think it's possibly to do it 100% automagically but a big red disclaimer saying "If you share sensors, tagging won't be reliable. OBVIOUSLY." For people like me with bike-specific cadence and power sensors, it'll work fine.

The auto-uploading app sounds ideal if it can automatically select Bike vs Run vs Swim vs Other vs Multisport workouts and only upload the relevant parts/ones.

What I would love is "auto-tagging of bike used" - from my experiments, you can guess at which ANT+ sensors were used in a workout and - given the SETTINGS.FIT file - link that workout to a named bike (assuming the sensors don't move, etc.) I have a perl script which demonstrates the theory if that helps.

Because everyone knows you only get one kiss. And they've wasted theirs.

The code shuffling wasn't for the benefit of the compiler though - it was for the benefit of the reader. Which is still kinda the goal.

Re: Synching and RSS

zimpenfish — Tue, 25 Jun 2013 16:36:47 -0000

What do you do with the read/unread/flagged status changes whilst you're offline? Ok, put them in localStorage too and ... then what? You need to reconcile them back to the server. Note that you need to do this even for temporary network glitches like a tunnel - or do you just not count things as read until you have the full successful roundtrip of "mark read please", "marked read ok"?

Or you can say "nothing will work without a network connection" and get laughed out of the room.

zimpenfish — Tue, 25 Jun 2013 14:40:27 -0000

What about offline support? How does that work? Seems to me that comes straight back to syncing...

iOS 7 is definitely "we really need to use Retina's potential". Which might explain why the iPad wasn't demoed if the mini is causing problems.

Re: How to Implement A Binary Search Algorithm in iOS

zimpenfish — Thu, 09 May 2013 06:50:56 -0000

I guess conceptually it's the same bug (you can still overflow an NSUInteger, right?) but since you'd need probably more RAM than exists on the planet to hold your list before you get anywhere near hitting it, the bug will never happen.

(Is a bug that can never happen still a bug?)

Re: Sharing OPML/RSS Subscriptions

zimpenfish — Wed, 24 Apr 2013 14:42:42 -0000

I reckon you'd want the MVP of "share my OPML" before worrying about the analytics and data munging. It might be that only 5 people upload them.

I suggested this to IFTTT about a year ago and ... we got more gimmicky channels like the WeMo stuff (doubly handy for UK people!) whilst the gmail channel still can't do useful things with attachments. Yay.
