this is hilarious on so many levels...



This has always been an issue with both iPhone and my MBP (though I just got them last year). There are _so_ many options in Sys Prefs and otherwise, and there typically is an answer to problems you're having, but they feel hidden...

Pretty minor issue though, I still love both. I'm just not sure if I'll love the new versions everyone seems to be whining about :)


Also whether or not they have the updated edition with all questions...

I ran into that problem with my Operating Systems course this semester, I was just going to scan the problems I needed, but then found out they were different since the book was 4 editions behind.


whoa, that's really interesting, didn't know about that feature! not seeing the "cycles left" anywhere on my end though.


Sorry, my comment was a little ambiguous. The sensor will tell you how many cycles are left, not the little menu bar trick. If you want to see how many cycles are used and left, click on the Apple menu in the upper-left corner of the screen, click on "About this Mac", and then click on "System Report". Click on the "Power" section on the left, and it'll show you all the sensor information including battery charge capacity, cycle count, and more.


By the way, option-click on a menu item to see more verbose info / more options works for most Apple menu items. It's super helpful for Sound, Wifi, Bluetooth, etc.


the WiFi one is super useful actually... thanks! :)


Any anecdotes from anyone who has used this? What did you use it for and did it work how you expected?

Only curious -- it seems really interesting for a personal project I plan on working on soon.


Was just planning on picking up the book. Didn't even know about this album.. listening now! Thanks for sharing.


This is part of what keeps me distant from weightlifting. Everyone you talk to offers a different routine (admittedly, almost all of them are some combination of squats, deadlifts, etc., all of which are workouts I struggle with).

I should probably apply the same process as I have with frontend web frameworks... just pick one and roll with it, it will "workout" in the end.


I think people put to much emphasis on the program to follow. The real secret to progression in the gym is dedication. The guy who shows up 4 times a week for a year doing his own made up program is going to look better than the guy doing the latest program they are recommending online for 2 months then giving up.There isn't any perfect system or quick answers so I find its best to just do exercises you enjoy and set yourself little mini goals and work towards them.


+1. For me personally the way to keep things interesting is working towards measurable goals. Another thing that works well is getting involved with organized sports, the downside is schedule and overall time investment.


Thanks for the reply - both you and all others. I've been struggling with asthma lately which was quite a set back, but I think that's only more of a reason to try and get into better shape.


Almost any program will work well for a beginner. Don't overthink it. The important part of weight lifting is using proper form. Other than that, it's really just about picking it up and putting it down.


Isn't it like which language you code in, all are pretty much going to work, and if you want your project finished you better pick one. If you want to be fit, pick one, you can't go wrong with picking a popular program and sticking with it.


Don't overthink it. Just pick one and go.


Whoa, did I write this? Close to same age and fellow skateboarder here, same story. I can never get in a routine for weightlifting, but I found running in the winter can help keep active. Typically I'm worried about losing weight, which seems the opposite of most people's exercise motives.


No kidding, definitely an "oh shit" email.
