Sugarmate is a fantastic app/service that will call a phone number with an automated message if your Dexcom CGM falls below a certain threshold. It’s allowed my wife and I to sleep a tiny bit better knowing if our son’s blood sugar goe

IIRC the Dexcom G7 will have the transmitter built-in (and thus will also be disposable.) I'm happy about this b/c transmitter expiration anxiety is real with insurance companies being so stingy - you're lucky to get your new

Yep - my 10 year old son has a x2 pump and a Dexcom G6. Hopefully the software starts to improve at a faster pace with smartphones becoming more tightly integrated: https://www.tandemdiabetes.com/landing-pages/remote-bo

I don’t abuse it. If I enjoy a book, I keep it - even though I’ll likely never listen to it again. But if I slog through half of a book (depending on the book it could take a month or more to get to that point) and it feels like an awful sl

I've spent a lot of money on Audible (and have a subscription) and part of the reason is because I can return books if they wind up being awful or are simply poorly produced (tin-sounding audio, awful narrator, clipped audio, etc.)

You keep making these false statements. .NET is open source. You're not dependent on Microsoft at all if you don't want to be. If Microsoft closes shop tomorrow, .NET will live on. You've got a minimal amount of .NET experi

Hate Microsoft much? You’re not selling anything to Microsoft. You sound like you just stepped out of the 90s. As for the misinformation about writing 5-10 times more code than other popular languages, which languages would that be?

Real meetings, zoom meetings, most of them are a waste of time and resources. I’d rather have my time wasted in the comfort of my home.

My last PC build was using parts sourced from Newegg in 2017. I won’t buy another thing from them.

Your civil liberties don't give you a right to get other people sick. My son's a type 1 diabetic (this isn't a matter of diet, exercise - that's type 2 diabetes.) Diabetics are at higher risk for complications from COVID

Seeing as I have 2 kids and plenty of kids live in my neighborhood, none of them are walking around like damaged zombies - it's hard to take you seriously.

You're wrong. Deeply wrong. There is no deep psychological damage. Children are not fragile snowflakes - they're adaptable, resilient little humans. That's why as a species we continue to thrive. Stop inventing new problems t

That I should stop trying to reason with people who are so biased by their political leanings that they ignore common sense.

Republicans have faced fewer accusations because they have not implemented as many of the restrictions that public health experts have called for. It's hard to break rules that don't exist.

by GiorgioG 5y ago
Yes because only democratic politicians ignore the rules.

Apple isn't hiring these folks to launch a product next year. Whatever these folks are working on will probably take 3+ years to see the light of day.

Agreed - the cloud providers are laughing all the way to the bank.

I have a general dislike for Kubernetes because most folks don't need its complexity.

Employees usually stick around longer than 6-18 months (that was my typical engagement length range when I was consulting.)

by GiorgioG 5y ago
Once you've started an engagement, you probably shouldn't up and quit because you disagree with a decision. As a consultant there's only so much you can do.

Also: when the client makes sub-optimal decisions you can take solace in the fact that you won't be around to deal with the consequences. And if it causes you to bill more hours - it's a bonus!

They're constantly retooling their factories. My dad worked at several GM factories for nearly 40 years. I feel like every year or two GM would announce a huge spend per factory to retool/upgrade/etc.

I've worked on some legacy solutions that did indeed suck to open (100+ projects in a single solution), but none that would fail to load completely.

Laptops have always been a compromise between portability, battery life, thermals, and performance. In my opinion, Visual Studio was never meant to run well on a laptop.
