  First time at the new concourse at LGA. Where is the ‘third world’ airport I knew so well?
  

  ooh is it open? It was still under construction last time I was there!

  - Set up IFTTT for RSS -> http://webmention.app to send webmentions
  
  Fin? Maybe? I count 4 different web-apps necessary *and* two different code markups needed to get this all working correctly.
  
  Webmentions is a failed system.
  

  Not sure I understand why this is "failed"?
  
  I'm guessing you are using a static site generator. That's going to give you lots of problems trying to do anything dynamic, kind of by definition.

  I was *just* about to come back around and thank you and Remy for building these servies for starters. So thank you!
  
  Yes, this is a partial failure of static sites but it still just feels like an over-engineered solution. I know lots of bloggers and so few of them use webmention
  

  There's definitely room for someone to come in and build a better solution tailored to all the specific limitations of static sites! What you're seeing is the side effect of these solutions not having been built specifically with static sites in mind.

  Is it much easier for non-static sites? Is there a "webmentions in a box" WP plugin?
  

  Yep! https://wordpress.org/plugins/webmention/
  
  It's completely self-contained, no external services, and integrates with the native WordPress comments system.

  and I use webmention.io myself, but I use the webhook feature so that it pushes the webmentions to my website immediately, where I can then store the data in my website's storage. That's one of the reasons the client-side JS examples there don't include any rendered HTML.

  welp, the rumors were true, Google did in fact buy FitBit: https://www.theverge.com/2019/11/1/20943318/google-fitbit-acquisition-fitness-tracker-announcement
  
  I *want* to switch to an Apple watch, but I can't until it has built-in automatic sleep tracking like the FitBit does!

  there are some apps that take night movements of the watch and write them to the Health app as sleep tracking. They’re not at the level of the Fitbit, though. 😞
  

  Yea, I'm not interested in half-baked solutions for a $399 device. At that price it better be able to do at least what a $99 FitBit can do.

  @aaronpk I use AutoSleep and it detects sleep/wake times and gives a good amount of data on the sleep. Perhaps you've already considered that.
  

  Yeah it's more on principle that I don't think a $399 luxury watch should be less capable out of the box than a $99 FitBit

  I never tried to do sleep tracking with my Apple Watch, because the night is the time I need to charge it.
  I use "Sleep Better" on my iPhone.
  But even if that would work, you still wouldn't get the data out of the health app. -Or did I miss something?
  

  I know from past experience that anything that requires manual intervention by me to start or stop sleep tracking I will eventually forget to do it and lose data. FitBit (and Jawbone) are the only things I've used that are automatic.

  @aaronpk If that's your only criteria, then sure, but seems a small compromise, all things considered :)
  

  It's not a small compromise because that's literally 90% of the reason I even have a smart watch in the first place.

  have you considered buying an external GPU setup? I also love my 13" MBP. Have had the 2016 model now since....2016! haha
  

  Does the external GPU thing actually work? It's been a while since I looked into it but my understanding was very few apps can actually take advantage of it, and exporting a rendered video would not use it. It'd only speed up the UI while editing.

  I'm against that personally and purposefully left it out of here. That's something we had in OAuth 2 but almost no clients ever did anything proactive with it. There's a pervasive myth of proactive smart OAuth clients when the reality is much dumber, and that's a good thing.

  This sounds very familiar. That's also the reason why I opened ticket #87 at Overland iOS on github :)
  

  haha good point! For some reason I have no trouble starting and stopping trips manually in Overland, but I can't be bothered to manually start and stop a sleep tracker!
