Two different approaches to debugging a software problem:

The Sudoku approach: stare at the limited set of clues you have, and think harder and harder about them until you find a way to deduce something useful.

The Minesweeper approach: don't even try to figure out the solution from only the clues you have right now. Instead, focus on finding a way to acquire another clue, and then using that to get another, and so on. Eventually you've collected so many clues that the answer is obvious.

Sometimes the Sudoku approach is necessary, because you've got all the clues you're ever going to get. But I think my new motto is "Never Sudoku a problem when you can Minesweeper it."

Can someone recommend a "hacker compatible" smart watch/fitness tracker? One that never connects to any cloud, one where I can SSH on it? <3 One that is less complex than Android/Wear OS?

The most important feature would be precise heart rate tracking over the course of the day. Ideally, I'd like to write new apps for it? I'm sure something like that must exist? :D

“What the wasteland warlord actually wants is a platform that is robust, easy to repair, fuel efficient when compared to its payload capacity, which can move lots of cargo and people and which can be fitted with heavier weapons.

And behold, providence offered forth the perfect vehicle of its wrath and fury: the Toyota Hilux.”
