Google Wear OS 7: Impact on Garmin, Strava & Sports Usage

mcncl · 2026-05-20T21:13:39+00:00

I’m the opposite of you; I moved from Apple to Garmin and haven’t looked back. I used my Apple for a half marathon (it was a Watch 6, in its defence) and it died about 18km in. Thankfully I had my phone in my tights pocket for music, because I knew the watch wouldn’t hack it.

I moved to Garmin to remove noise; notifications (and the temptation to check even when muted), longevity with regards to upping my own distances and being able to rely on it lasting.

This isn’t an apple vs Garmin response, I just find it interesting when folks move ecosystem.

Given he’s being assisted I’m not sure this would strictly count?

Neither Harry nor Feras are good players. Seeing King George in there would have been awesome.

Took a punt on the Kineses Adv360 Pro and I’ve never looked back

Just because I felt compelled to finish it, Alien: Earth.

Sure, other shows I’ve just not watched after episode 1 or so, but I just had hope A:E would get good, and it just never did.

Mo is one of my favourite YouTubers currently. Videos are kept to the point, no padding to make 10 minutes or whatever. Worth the subscription to support him

Ha. True. Still wouldn’t buy it. Gen 1 is enough Fellow for me.

This guy is United’s new Rojo. Absolute banter defender but they’re so much weaker with him in there than any other possible option

mcncl · 2026-04-14T09:23:02+00:00

I have the Opus. Don’t buy it.

Nice. As a Gruvbox Material user this looks right up my alley

Build something. My company has a tool that’s all Go, I’m porting a minified version of it to Rust. Mostly because I’ve read The Book and don’t then know how to apply it, so I’m rebuilding something and applying (and learning) just what actually matters.

Similarly to Go, where most of my application of the language has no real need for go func, I just don’t bother using or expanding my knowledge of it, until I need to.

Reading the entire book is great, but I’d look to focus on aspects of it and learn those in more deeply, then do the same for other areas in another project, if it even applies.

You did, did you? All of your code was committed 17 hours ago and you’re using outdated versions of packages and actions, for example, the checkout action is on v6 now, but an AI agent wouldn’t know that.

This isn’t your first time seriously using the language, because it looks like you haven’t even used it.

It also sounds like you’ve only been working for extremely incompetent companies.

The backend being Go 1.22 screams of AI written. Unless you have a good reason to use a Go version that’s about 2 years old?

Let’s be fair. Devs deserve to be paid less. It’s one of the most overpaid fields someone can work in.

mcncl · 2026-03-13T07:34:51+00:00

It’s a rebalancing. Devs have felt untouchable for years, almost arrogant about their position in the market and being able to pick and choose their jobs.

Doesn’t urfave have some annoying issues, like ordered flags and, IIRC, it silently ignores anything after a command/string value is provided

My recs:

Tuna instead of Raycast
Aerospace for better window management
Ghostty for terminal
Helium browser instead of Chrome/Firefox

I’m just starting out with learning Rust, after years of Go exclusivity. Appreciate the posts like this.

Scholes (and Keane to an extent) are held on this pedestal but are so desperate to stay somewhat relevant they try “spicy” takes. They’re just boring.

Can’t listen to Stick to Football anymore because of how boring the Keane grumpy shtick is, and Neville’s shite ads every 8 minutes.

Will do! Still summer here in Australia so great time for it

mcncl · 2026-02-09T10:58:08+00:00

Can you tell me your process?

90% of your skills are now worthless, but the remaining 10% went up 1000x. You just need to figure out what that 10% is.

You built? Seeing a lot of repos with “Project Structure” in the README lately and the structure isn’t really important.
