This is a great idea, thank you! If I can get myself into shape for it by late June, I'm going to try doing the JMT this year. This tip may come in handy. Thanks.

I just looked at your profile and saw what your company is working on. Very interesting! My wife and I were recently in a situation where I'd wondered why the hospital didn't have such a thing! My wife has T1D and we just spent 3

This kind of exists, and here is one such system: https://www.tandemdiabetes.com/products/t-slim-x2-insulin-pu... The pump delivers insulin and gets blood glucose readings from a CGM (continuous glucose monitor) over b

Thanks for sharing this. I wasn't aware of this, going to keep on eye on it.

I don't know much about medical research, but I've looked into some of these trials. They are generally being done by startups and not the established players who sell the diabetes management stuff. So think disruptive tech. A new

The alarm fatigue is no joke, and CGMs get less accurate the lower ones blood glucose goes, so false alarms on the low end are common. My wife has a Tandem T:Slim and Dexcom G6 and she can't turn off the urgent low alarm. The alarms dr

My wife has t1d and when we were dating we backpacked the Lost Coast trail. She was pretty paranoid of bears, so made sure we didn't have any food in our tent and did a good job of hiding our bear canisters some place where any bears c

A commenter above guessed right. Though Leavenworth and maybe George were in our high school sports leagues.

This was an absolutely fascinating and chilling story. The thing that struck me about it is the scam didn't work for a few reasons: 1. He typically had a practice of not using his main wallet for things like this. 2. He got wary and ac

Only slightly related, but a story from back when pay phones were still a common thing. My first or second year of high school I lived in a rural town in Washington state with very little to do. But it was also a tourist destination. In the

I kind of love this idea. It reminds me of a redis use case we had at a former employer. We had a cluster with a high double digit number of nodes that delivered a lot of data to various external APIs. Some of those APIs required some metad

I remember staying up all night downloading Slackware 96 (version 3.0) floppy sets over my 28.8kbps modem. I think I used it for my first 6+ months of home Linux use. In retrospect it was probably a good thing to learn on because Slackware

OpenBSD tends to really value high quality man pages. However to submit a patch you have to email a diff to their mailing lists. They even prefer it inline vs as an attachment. The GitHub repo linked in the post is just a read only mirror,

Yeah I didn’t mean settle for money. I mean the town agrees to follow the law.

Yeah and it's cured me of any idea of ever running for one of those offices. No way could I handle sitting in every one of those meetings for several years.

I'm not a lawyer... but... You sue the town for violating state law. The town either settles, or you go to court, and if you win, the court compels them to comply with the law, and the town probably has to cover legal fees.

And the Weinsteins are both very smart. But being smart can mean you’re very good at making a compelling argument for something that’s wrong. That’s what they do. Same with Jordan Peterson.

Yeah I don’t think it can do that, unfortunately.

Corollary 2 reminds me a bit of software like djbdns and qmail which was relatively simple and worked incredibly well for it's time. I managed a number of production systems with both and it always worked beautifully. That said, licens

I feel like there could be an Explanation #4 which is something like: for many people lots of math is used so infrequently, it's hard to retain after you're done with school. Maybe more drills would help that? I did pretty well in

And now I have FreeBSD 14 (13 won't boot and the issue is only fixed in -current) running in Parallels on my Apple Silicon MacBook Pro... works well.

This is hardly a production use case, but I've had a bare metal server at OVH for several years. It's currently running FreeBSD 13 with bhyve. I have about 4x VMs running on it, including OpenBSD and several different Linux flavor

Other concerns I have are systemd dependencies and browser support. I'm not as familiar with how it works in FreeBSD, but the OpenBSD Chromium maintainer asked Google to upstream their patches and the Chromium team refused. So OpenBSD

Also wasn't it during the 5.0 release process when DragonFly BSD split off? And, RE the point about "that's fixed in -current", I'm reminded if a talk from Netflix engineering about how they just run -current in pro

I think OpenBSD has support for some 802.11ac chipsets, but they don't operate at 802.11ac speeds. For example see the CAVEATS section here: https://man.openbsd.org/iwm.4
