The 10/10/10 Rule For Tough Decisions - Fast Company - Pocket

It’s easy to lose perspective when we’re facing a thorny dilemma. Blinded by the particulars of the situation, we’ll waffle and agonize, changing our mind from day to day. Perhaps our worst enemy in resolving these conflicts is short-term emotion, which can be an unreliable adviser.
It’s worth applying rules as much as to break them all.

Postgres on Synology

Image
I own a few Synology NAS, one of them is dedicated to development for various projects. More than once I need to store data into a relational database. Synology comes with MySQL Administration tool (MyPhpAdmin) and the cool MariaDB. It actually also comes under the hood with Postgres. By default, it’s not configured for your consumption. Below you find my recipe on how to get it up and running. If you are not familiar with vi (the editor) then you definitely want to install a package manager (iPKG) that allows you to install what you give for granted on my UNIX OSes. Say nano as for the editor. To do that the best guide ever that I found is already written by @zarino – follow his instructions and you can’t get it wrong. There’s only one piece of information that is missing from that blog post and is for a special case: When you log back into the system the profile that enables all the goodies of the packaging isn’t loaded by default, you can force the loading doing  source /etc/profil…

Exercising can be fun if done with others and even that is not the case for everyone. Doing it alone is more than often a chore. Anything that can make the activity less than “mandatory” can only lead to build up the necessary confidence to perform the "chore" more frequently and with a due rhythm that actually leads to results. Fun and rhythm are two cardinal pieces to get results. I would argue about anything but particularly at the job of losing calories while not feeling miserable.  A gaming experience meshed within some type of workout is hardly a nuance those days. However, as all fads the excitement tend to fade out when the link between the investment in time and sweat doesn’t balance with the perceived results. Most humans, particularly the male homo sapiens patience for any result is not in spade available as for the counterpart of the same species.

If you didn't pay attention in school about the breakdown that likely you belong too (my cat reads, it doesn't …

Build an independent watch app - Part II

Image
In PART I, I explained in super details on how to make an independent watch app. A reader posted in the comments a request on how to make the dinos do sounds. I wasn’t taking on the ask until I found that the reader is a little young girl learning how to program Apple Watch. I am a sucker for such combos so I figured let me show the way.

The project still the same we used last time. Here’s what changed: Added a button on screen twoAttached a function to the button to play the dino’s soundAdded some sounds UI changes Open the storyboard file and on the second screen at the bottom, add button. By default, the buttons are ugly and uninteresting. Use the inspector to change its appearance. Here what mine looks like.




Enable the assistant like we did in the previous post so that you can see code and UI at the same time. Holding CTRL (or dragging with right-click) draw an outlet from the button to the source code DetailsInterfaceController.swift. Pay attention …
