AmEx is great for this. I've used it twice, no issues that I can tell. I had my personal card attached to a BrowserStack account that used a work email address. Forgot to cancel it when I left the job and BrowserStack support was compl

Thank you for the recommendations! If I had the condition you can bet your ass I'd be building these, both look fantastic. I'm going to bookmark both so I can take the time to read their docs later -- Diabetes management from the

You should be testing your software on the typical device it will run on. It's just good engineering to do so. If you have to eBay a bog-standard laptop to do this, do it. Developing software on the average potato device? Hell no. Wh

My partner is a rare example of this. A little over 2 years ago at the age of 37 she was diagnosed as diabetic and put on metformin. The doctor thought it was LADA, or Type 1.5. The then the doctor kinda.... forgot about her? Historically h

Agreed. It's been a decade or more since I and the teams I worked with did anything other than squash-merging a feature branch into main. The PR body becomes the commit body for the squash, and we're done. Developers can be as f&#

There was certainly an art to being able to get your jokes in at just the right time. A few seconds(messages) later and it's just not funny, so type fast!

As a homeschooled kid, the thing about your story that really sticks out to me is that you even felt you had the agency to make any of these decisions. You just ... decided to enroll? You, as a child, can do that? I didn't obtain that

I was too succinct in my previous message, I guess. To you and I there is a difference between tracking and metrics. To everyone else there is none. All my Mom knows is that the software dialed home. It is impossible to verify what it s

There's no difference between tracking and metrics, they're the same thing. You get your metrics out of the data you track. Browser phone home? Tracking. And there's no way for a user to validate that any tracking is indeed a

Obviously I don't know your product, but that just sounds like an endpoint that exposes a join table. Any time I see status code sidestepping, it informs me that something more basic has been skipped earlier. "The monitoring is fi

404 is not an error, it's a status code that says "What you asked for does not exist". Why are you worrying about log spam? Why are you monitoring 404s? Now you have an endpoint that lies, how is that better?

I suppose losing iOS updates would compel me to upgrade. If history is a guideline I've got ~2 more years. Not too bad, that brings the daily cost of ownership down to $0.42.

Yeah, I'm still using an 11 Pro. The phone works great, fills all my needs, and I've seen no compelling upgrade reason. $15/mo for service from Mint helps too, I'm no longer seeing a $70/mo bill and thinking that I
