ssorc | 2 years ago | on: Ask HN: How did you migrate off Evernote?
I'm in the process of migrating from Evernote to Joplin, doing a careful migration by individual notebooks (with a total of 19,959 notes in Evernote).
So far it has been reasonably painless; for example, I have a few Evernote features to work out how to manage, such as text searches on scanned images.
I had tried a number of other tools (Obsidian, Loqseq, Notion, Bear, Apple Notes) and Joplin seems to fit my use cases the best.

You can upload the activity via PC: the FIT files are directly accessible via USB mass storage in the "Activity" directory.
This allows you to upload FIT files to cloud-based services such as Strava to see your running stats, or into a PC-based application to do the same locally.

To be fair on Strava, they have made some effort to addressing this over the last few months:

> My subscription lapsed just about every year for some glitch or another
This exactly -- of all the magazines I subscribe to, Make has (had?) the worst subscription department by far. It was surprising given how important a subscriber base is.

Similar to Soma FM's SF 10-33 station:
" Live fire/police scanner audio from San Francisco processed and mixed with ambient and experimental music. A surreal audio zeitgeist of the city."

Notion has tables; is there specific table functionality you need that they don’t offer?

cal works on most Unix systems, but is not part of Windows (is there a Powershell equivalent?)
If you don't have cygwin (or similar) installed, these types of one-liners have saved me a number of times for quick hacks on Windows systems.

A major reason why the accuracy on blood sugar strips is +/- 20% is because that is all that the standard (ISO 15197:2003) requires:
* Within ±0.83 mmol/L of lab results at concentrations of under 4.2 mmol/L
* Within ±20% of lab results at 4.2 mmol/L or more
Companies are juggling cost, reliability and performance/accuracy, with the first two generally winning in the marketplace as key selling points.
Some devices offer significantly better accuracy than 20%, depending on the market that you are in (not all are for sale in USA, IIRC).
