I've built Caloree an iOS/Mac app that allows you to track your daily calorie intake, go on a calorie deficit diet and track your weight which has worked wonders for me. It's freemium, but most features are available for free

The company Stefan founded is just 5km (around 3 miles) away from where I live. I have friends who either worked or still work there. I also met a bunch of the folks at InnoQ over the years and they are a great team. Whenever people or his

I was just about to comment about my dear of bumping into a grizzly bear while hiking there, but apparently “only” black bears live on Vancouver Island. That would still keep me away and I always wonder if I’m just way too cautious or if th

Makes sense, happy to report that this will make it into the next version amongst some other things that didn't make it into the MVP. Thanks a lot for your feedback! As for the food db: I use Open Food Facts which is great, but can be

Completely off-topic, but I was an avid IH user before I somehow lost my password. For some strange reason resetting the password doesn‘t work for me. It tells me it‘s going to sene a mail with instructions in a few minutes and then nothing

Hi quickthrower2, thanks for the feedback. Glad you like it and apologies for the late reply. I somehow totally missed that there were comments in this thread. I got a lot of feedback on producthunt and apparently that was enough to distrac

Apologies for the late reply. Somehow I didn't catch what was going on here :| Your are indeed correct, it is indeed an BMR calculation, specifically I use a revised Harris-Benedict equation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wi

This is definitely not one of these balloons. Check out the discontinued Google Loon project to see a closer representation of what the world was looking at. I have used weather balloons like the one you linked and I can assure you that the

I recently got interested in installing a TTN gateway in my home and adding some temperature sensors. Having played with LoRa years ago my thought was that there should now be readily available and cheap sensors. But to my disappointment ev

I have a genuine question which I have been wondering about for sole time: Is there anything positive to this “one nation can veto everything” rule? It feels like this is really blocking a lot of progress in the EU where some of the right-s

Came here to say exactly this. Great job! :)

Yes, same here! I got my first Mac with 7.5.3. It was a Performa 5200CD. Good times :)

Starlink will be a LEO (low earth orbit) satellite network. Satellites travel at much lower altitudes resulting in much lower latencies (I think easily below 50ms was what I read before).

Does anyone know what the UI of Edge is written in? Since it runs on Mac as well, have they ported some of the .Net UI frameworks to Mac or is it native all the way?

Curious, what makes Chromium better in your opinion? I have probably just touched the surface of the dev tools on both and haven‘t used any features that I would be missing on either.

Honest question: how did you arrive at 1$/1000 mails? When I look at S3 peicing it says 0.005$/1000 PUTs. Are there a lot of requests made or am I missing something else?

How do you ensure that the 500 concurrent keep-alives land on different Lambda functions? I.e. requests 220 and onwards might hit lambda functions which were warmed up by requests 0-219. I just made the above numbers up of course.

Doesn't it have much higer payload to LEO and GTO though? It's much more than D-IVH payload if Wikipedia is to be believed: FH: 63800kg LEO, 26700kg GTO D-IVH: 28790kg LEO, 14220kg GTO The Falcon 9 actually comes closer to the D-I

I've also been a Mac user for 20 years and can totally relate to the conclusion he made: I felt betrayed by Apple's pricing on this machine. I decided to not get a Mac for the first time since 1996 and so far haven't regrette

Switched to Win 10 after 20 years on the Mac. The bash was the last missing point for me. So far I'm really happy with the OS.

Currently running Windows with Bash installed though. I briefly tried Xubuntu, but occasionally it froze while booting up. Didn't have time to check what was wrong (needed to hurry for a project) so decided for Windows.
