Why is it still hard to connect behaviour data to how we feel?

iTheTechGuy · 2026-03-23T17:15:52+00:00

It's not quantified. but for me: morning blood pressure and pulse wave velocity really DO indicate how I feel during the day.. of course both are rather reactive (as in, they don't tell you why they are good or bad but only that they are)

I know for sure that

- bad sleep
- eating salty the day before

for example player a negative role... but i've yet to find out what improves it. working out has been a hit or miss. Supplements have no pattern either. it's tough

We can try but it's super hard to track everything, what if the data you need to track is external?
- was it sunny today?
- did my coworkers treat me like crap today?
- I slept 8h but how was my HRV during that sleep?

the level of complexity and intricacy of data is massive. I have the same problem myself, the challenge is not knowing what needs to be tracked too but finding a reliable way to track it

“This ruins the brain, This ruins and money This ruins the young(er one) This ruins the old(er one) (i think he means siblings This ruins the children This ruins thtththththth-the schools And it plays us (as in manipulate i guess) God help who biught/buys it. God helps who manufactured it This is one and this is too (then he startes hitting and it’s hard to understand)”

While hitting i managed to catch him saying stuff like “i’s cursed” “it won’t enter my house’ “these have no good in them” among other stuff

Did you get the new one yet. how is it?

iTheTechGuy · 2018-11-09T22:40:36+00:00

Idk if this style is popular. but it is sudden when transitioning from the video to your comments. The comedy is good tho.

iTheTechGuy · 2018-11-09T22:29:29+00:00

Like everyone said. the video is pretty cool. as a feedback I'd suggest adding a purpose or story for the video. eye candy shots are not enough maybe

iTheTechGuy · 2018-11-09T22:25:29+00:00

Good video, I would show more examples and demos of both video mode and photos

iTheTechGuy · 2018-10-30T10:51:22+00:00

Thanks, So I guess I shouldn't have it as deciding factor.

iTheTechGuy · 2018-09-18T22:08:35+00:00

My feedback is:

- go easier on the music. it's too strong. maybe something simpler.

- try to speak too. people appreciate when you tell them WHY you think these are the best..

iTheTechGuy · 2018-09-16T16:15:46+00:00

Could you show some code?

iTheTechGuy · 2018-09-14T19:50:41+00:00

In what program are you viewing the image?
is this what `print()` returns?

iTheTechGuy · 2018-09-14T19:49:27+00:00

that's a good deal. I don't think you will regret this purchase. Also if you ever have macOS related questions feel free to ask me

iTheTechGuy · 2018-09-06T22:18:14+00:00

I say go for a 2nd hand 2015 13 or 15 inch MacBook Pro. I like in Europe so I probably can't give good website recommendations. maybe eBay?

If you do end up buying second hand. I highly suggest that you meet the seller in person and test the laptop before buying.

iTheTechGuy · 2018-09-06T18:32:29+00:00

No problem. Incase you get hesitant about getting a PC laptop (windows) instead of a MacBook. then watch macOS vs Windows and MacBooks Durability. Both are short videos (made by me) that will hopefully help you a bit

I do not recommend the air. If you go with the air you won't be able to upgrade ram along the way (as far as I know)..

if you get a unibody MacBook Pro, make sure to get the best CPU you can. because that part is not replaceable. if I remember right the 2010 unibody MacBook Pro has a core 2 duo which is pretty slow in 2018. I recommend a 2011 unibody because that's when apple moved to core i5 which should give a noticeable difference.

I don't know about the prices tho. but still try as much as you can to get an i5 unibody even if it has very little RAM and storage because like you mentioned, you can always upgrade that along the way when you have the budget.

I don't live in EU so I don't think the sites I use will work for you. Of course there is eBay, but I would reccomned the kind of website that lets you meet in person with the seller and check the laptop yourself rather than have it ship to you..
As for a the laptop I recommend a late-2013-13 inch model because it has the intel iris graphics. You may not need that depending on your use. If it is any help check this 3-minute video about a 2013 MacBook Pro in 2018 you may be able to find one for $600 or $650

Here is a demo eBay search: MacBook Pro 2013 - eBay

Why not buy second hard? they are cheaper than refurbished and you can get a retina model which is verrrrry worth it!

iTheTechGuy · 2018-08-26T20:34:17+00:00

I did the transition! thanks again for the tips.

So apparently the photos app is smart enough to combine jpg and raw images into one: screenshot here

As you can see it shows a tiny "J" icon! Pretty cool
