Sure, but I am totally willing to make that tradeoff, and when my earbuds die, I buy new wireless earbuds, not permanently switch to some wired headphones I have lying around (mostly just in case, to not be left hanging if my earbuds suddenly die). I didn't know that before I started using wireless stuff, but now I do. Because, you know, I can change my T-shirt, maybe even take a shower, and start cooking something in the kitchen without pausing that audiobook, all while my phone is charging in another room.
I am even cautiously aware that people have lost their hearing, because damn LiOH exploded in their ear. That's much scarier than knowing I will have to buy new earbuds in a couple of years. Didn't stop me using them either.
I'm not even sure people think that. Apple's marketing department thinks that, and other company marketing departments seem to be implementing some kind of master-slave architecture, where they are slave instances to Apple's master server. Does anybody really check specs and deliberately choose the thinner phone? Or do people just buy new iPhone regardless of whatever decisions they make just because having the last iPhone is cooler? Of course, I don't know, but I somehow really doubt it's the former.
Not sure why it gets attention here. The "finding" is the long standing assumption as it is, absolutely nothing new discovered here. It could be notable if it was of some particularly high quality, but here it is 20 untrained individuals doing some dubious exercise regime for 10 weeks and finding out that on average one dubious exercise pattern wasn't particularly better than the other, and overall exercising seemed to be good for all of them, although inter-personal coefficient of variation is up to 28.3%… Like, really? That was the study that impressed 211 upvoters?
These journals keep publishing such studies, because there is nothing better to publish in this branch of, uhm, "science", and I would even argue it's not a bad thing, because something is better than nothing, and it's basically impossible today to do more impressive research in this field (because testing humans is far costlier and logistically more complicated than writing equations and running simulations on your PC). But it's funny that it gets someone's attention.
Indeed. "Science-based" lifting become quite popular in the recent years, but the actual science behind it is quite loose with a lot of methodologically weak studies, small samples etc.
This seems like an overly cynical take. Is there no value in empirically confirming an assumption? Especially in the exercise world where other long held assumptions ended up being bro-science nonsense?
> although inter-personal coefficient of variation is up to 28.3%
Why does that matter? Isn't the entire point of this study's design to eliminate the impact of the inherent variability between test subjects?
What phone it was? I am sure that there is a lot of ML involved to figure out how to denoise photos in the dark, etc., but I never noticed anything that I'd want to describe as "AI filter" on my photos.
I removed it with devtools, so surely there is a dozen of work-arounds, but, still, it just weird that a page that is supposed to show a calendar, doesn't show a calendar.
The website isn't the calendar... The print is, so if you Ctrl p, you can see what you'll get, that's not a workaround it's the purpose of the website, I guess I'm confused how you're confused lol
Not sure what do you mean. I.e., what exactly is supposed to be the tricky part. Yes, I've dealt with quite a few processes like that, but I never tried, or would ever want to to put this into crontab. In fact, I don't know how the author intended his article, but if you consider doing that for production, I strongly advice you not.
What you do instead, is you schedule the cronjob for the most generic case, e.g. each day. And if it does not need to run 3 days before holidays with crescent moon when wind is blowing from the south, it is just the part of business logic of the process, which you write in the any proper programming language that you prefer (or that the system is written in anyway).
Now, how do you manage the list itself depends on the details and I've done all sorts dirty things that one probably shouldn't do (cutting corners), but in the most flexible case it is just some CRUD-type page in your back-office system, with a real UI, and there is a person (usually in the bookkeeping department of the company) who has it among his responsibilities to maintain the schedule. You store it in some proper SQL database and cache it aggressively, so the the myriads of cronjobs don't bother it more than necessary.
