I mean, you're effectively saying if things require less time and effort while providing the same benefit then more people will do them. Surely this isn't surprising?

Thanks for flagging the sale of Bartender. As a long time user I had no idea and am saddened to hear the new. I'll be switching to Ice or another open source tool immediately.

While I see your point (and largely feel the same way) I suppose the other side of it is pull requests. Nice to enable the community to provide supplemental software development.

Been there with longer term trades. Bought some DXCM back in 2014 and sold later for a small profit. Was trading at $8-9. I used their continuous glucose monitor (am type 1 diabetic) and was certain they would be successful. Sitting at arou

I'm curious as to why you stopped (feel free to tell me to mind my own business!)?

> We are talking small numbers (maybe losing 15k in total) but an amazing amount of time and energy spent doing all this which generated a lot of stress. This was roughly my experience too. Stopping after the above trade meant my total l

Like many other people who should know better, I tried my hand at day-trading. I bought some course by someone who in hindsight I'm certain made more money off selling courses than they ever did off of day-trading. I got my account set

Absolutely love Balsamiq. So quick and easy. IIRC there used to be a post-processing tool by a 3rd party that would turn Balsamiq Mockups into code - wonder if it's still kicking around. Edit: it was called napkee. looks like it was op

I'm right there with you. Thought that the lego build would replicate the warp effect without need for photographic trickery. Was disappointed.

That is very good to know, thank you. I can't imagine the intersection between devs who need this and devs who would pay for this versus scripting it themselves is that large. But who knows [shrug]

As a matter of interest, are your issues on iOS or Android? No real reason for asking beyond curiosity...

This is a bit of a wild jump. OP hasn't even explained their grievance with the software.

I think you're greatly overestimating the problem. The only action a user can take in the app is to give a bolus. This is a relatively (1-2 years?) new feature that I believe necessitated FDA approval. Everything else is surfacing info

I moved to the 7 and have no issues with the (iOS) software whatsoever. What issues are you having? If I had one issue with the 7 it's that it appears much more impacted by bluetooth interference than the 6. I suspect that this is a ha

These look great. I'm a bit ignorant on the topic - what makes an icon a 'Reach Icon'? Can these only be used in React apps? Am I missing something fundamental?

Super cool but I'm guessing a long way to go. Notice that nobody lifts their feet when walking on this. I'm not sure if it's fear (those small careful steps conjure images of people ice skating for the first time) or if the t
