I would, but for a different job just for sustenance. I don’t love my job, but it isn’t a total grind either. I’m working because it pays. I live in a developing country and would use a good chunk of the $10 million (if I had it) to get out to, preferably, an English speaking developed country (it’s not as easy even then). Nevertheless, I think this could be a life changing amount (positive or negative) for most people around the world.
Do you use it for workouts, especially for longer periods everyday? I’m a constant Apple Watch user and workout everyday, but I do find the battery life lacking when I’m out on hikes for a few hours. My watch is only a few years old and is supported for watchOS upgrades.
My guess is that the sensors use a lot of energy (even when the display is normally off) and that the longer one uses it for workouts within a day (with the sensors continuously on [1]) and the older the watch is, the lower the battery life.
[1]: there is a setting to in the workout app to reduce the frequency of GPS and heart rate readings during walking, running and hiking workouts when low power mode is also turned on
I love my Apple Watch (it’s a few years old) and depend on it everyday to track things and keep me motivated to exercise and move. I do have to charge it for nearly an hour everyday, though like others have said I would prefer longer battery life (as opposed to getting a bigger and more expensive one like Apple Watch Ultra).
I wouldn’t be exaggerating when I say that it’s changed my life for the better. At the same time, I personally know people who have it but aren’t used to it or don’t use it for what it does best.
Oh sorry I can see that’s unclear and I’m assuming a lot!
I’m in Australia so almost everyone who has grown up here has been taught to swim, and generally knows the basic strokes at least (I mostly just do freestyle and breaststroke). I didn’t think of people who might not be at that basic level, I’d definitely recommend some lessons if you’re not up to that!
I was more meaning starting swimming laps regularly - for building fitness and stamina and correcting my technique (not having done lessons since I was in school). For this I’ve mostly used Effortless Swimming [1] and Skills N' Talents (swimming) [2].
I’m confused. What if none of the tones or sliders match the sound of my tinnitus? Mine is a very low frequency hum or buzz. I find all the sliders on this page to be a high frequency sound.
It depends. But as GP also said, it can be because one is not exercising (that part of the body) regularly. Anecdotally, I have seen that soreness is not really observed when exercising regularly. Some aches and a little fatigue? Probably. But not really muscle soreness.
> I just figured that I couldn't be dehydrated if I wasn't thirsty
This is what I learned, but from others online. I also learned that sometimes our body/mind may mistake thirst for hunger and we may end up eating some food instead of just drinking water (this is generalizing things a bit). This made me a little more aware of what I think of as hunger signals and I started tracking water intake (other than from food) everyday.
BTW, a tiny nitpick: it’s “led”, not “lead”, when you talking about the past.
> I asked one of my teammembers – what’s up with that? “Oh, you know, there’s a release coming up soon, nobody wants to give an impression that they’re dilly-dallying around instead of working.”
This is what I’d worry about too. Apart from this, I don’t know how the chats will be used, who else might have some kind of access to those (IT, HR), etc. The pervasive monitoring of all network traffic makes it all seem like always being under the view of a panopticon.
I love working remote and don’t really want to go to the office (a tiring commute is one of the reasons; not having as much flexibility is another). But I’d be wary of off topic channels on Slack or Teams or any company owned/managed platform.
> The disadvantage of feature branching is that it's very easy for management to cut costs on testing.
Have to agree with this. In a large (lower than 2/3rd in the Fortune 500 list) company with cost cutting as a constant mantra, our ever shrinking team hasn’t had a testing/QA team for several years. We never got to automating a lot of tests either. The developers create something and test it manually as per their limited knowledge. Then it’s the end users who do the bulk of the testing.
