Fitbit Sense 2 is pretty dumb for a smart watch, but Polar H10 should be more accurate.


What does that mean? Are you using cash? Are you copying bank transaction history to your git?


Yeah, I source my ledger from multiple places like bank transactions, investments accounts, cash transactions etc.

I can't really think of a case where I have made a mistake, but if, for example, I sold something to a friend I would debit (+) their "reimbursement" account with the amount they owe me. If I typoed that to 10x the amount, I would just go and correct the typo, I wouldn't make two new entries to revert then correct the mistake.


Professionally 'B&W' is used to describe two-color image, and 'grayscale' to what colloquially known as 'B&W'.


I was referring to the dark and light side of the force :-)


>> Anywhere that accepts an Operation Enum type will just as happily accept an int.

>Well, this is simply not true.

As comment above [1] pointed out `printOperation(2)` is still valid.

Not trying to nitpick here, but '2' is not an int here. It's the constant evaluated at compile time. But yeah, valid case if users of your code are in the habit of typing magic numbers into your function that expects enum.

My understanding is that on a practical level, these kinds of issues arise from misusing types (or not caring about them) and naively putting variables of one type into the function that expects another. Examples with number constants typed in manually do not hold ground.


Or you can buy a jig like Spyderco Sharpmaker and have a razor-sharp edge in 5 minutes.


I find the Sharpmaker great for touching up an edge, but not nearly aggressive enough (without adding an aftermarket set of diamond rods) for repairing or setting a new edge


I used to own one, but I find the rods too short - it's good for small, 12-cm blades, but it's useless for anything bigger.

Right now I switched to proper water stones :)


this is basically the 2023 answer

I don't care if you are a fifteenth generation swordmaker who practiced for sixty years...you cannot hold a blade in your hands steadily, at sub-mm precision, for more than one stroke

changing the angle even slightly is effectively starting over

but if you must go old school - BELGIAN COTICULE...all other sharpening stones are inferior, it is no contest imho


>> you cannot hold a blade in your hands steadily, at sub-mm precision, for more than one stroke

That's what the guiding rails are for... So far whetstones with guiding rails are the best sharpening method I found. As you can see from my other comment in this sub-thread, I find Spyderco lacking.


This is FUD. If you believe this I have some $8000 speaker wire to sell you.


Photos just show that it's capable of long exposure.


The theory is that 'baking" it could reflow a bad solder joint and fix it. A popular fix of last resort.


I get that that could work and might solve the problem entirely. What I don't get is why you'd ever have to do that every few months.


Laser printers have parts that can get very hot. If their "baking" reflowed the parts, but just barely, maybe those hot parts would just cause the exact same problem all over again.


Ah! There we go! That was what I was missing. Thanks. It all makes sense now.


It's called Hacktoberfest.


>trying to convince children that they’re a different gender

What a ridiculous thing to say. Nobody does that.


If only that were true.
