Uh, not a great article. > Those with type 2 diabetes are not producing enough insulin. No, that's type 1. Type 2 is characterized by the body's resistance to insulin. So the pancreas produces enough insulin, but the body can&#

Couldn't disagree more. The fact that the company doesn't like those questions would be a massive red flag to me that they indeed expect me to work weekends. Times are great to be a software engineer. Don't squander that oppo

But it is static. The visual output is usually in jpg form. That's pretty much the definition of static output. The only output I can find in Jupyter that is not static is coming from Bokeh which takes Python and generates javascript c

Similar in Polish, but for some reason, in Slavic languages from the Balkans it is "Ipsilon".

> Why do we care so much about design? Because it's the lowest common denominator. Because everybody can have some input there. Because somebody in the org needed an "initiative" and the design is the easiest to explain.

You're totally right. If the voice communication was more crucial, I would definitely think twice before going with this scheme.

I like following a naming theme. I used to be a ballet dancer so I use ballet steps for my machine names: Enterlace, Revoltade, ... They are all single words that are super uncommon outside of the ballet world

Which is a shame. This is the only reason my wife still uses old 11" Mac Air. She has an Apple Thunderbolt screen which she doesn't want to replace and is unusable on the Macbook. Pros are just too big for her, so she keeps on usi

Agreed. 20% margin of error isn't really that relevant to me either. I don't really care that much if I'm 70mg/dl or 100mg/dl if the line is horizontal. Both values are, roughly, in the "OK Zone" that I ju

12 hour startup time? Wow, that's crazy. Any idea on the reasoning behind the startup delay? I understand the reasoning for disabling it after 10 days, dexcom does the same, but I can't find any reasoning for delaying startup. I&#

This looks really useful. I'm surprised SO doesn't already have that feature.

I believe his complaint isn't about not using MongoDB, but about storing JSON as strings in a database that supports actual JSON(B) data type. As you said yourself, you migrated to PG JSONB columns, not to PG Text columns for storing J

I thought Wing Commander Saga was complete, no? http://www.wcsaga.com/ It features a prologue of 5 missions and a full 50 mission campaign. That's on par with regular WC games, I would say.

Blue Planet, especially War in Heaven, is absolutely amazing. Excellent storyline, great missions, great voice acting, and a devastatingly emotional experience. It's a pinnacle of gaming for me.

"It doesn’t have heart. It doesn’t trust its own people. So it has no self-identity in the sense that it has never accepted human rights as common values. No freedom of speech, no independent judicial system." All of this was true

Absolutely. I see people saying how "blame" has a terrible name and to use git praise instead. In the end, it's all irrelevant. If you work in a company/team that has a blame and shame culture, you're going to have

Yeah, subway being "wonky" lately is putting it lightly. I'd love to bike to work. When I lived back in Europe, I used to bike every day to work and back. However, biking in NYC is just insanely dangerous in comparison. I&#x2

We are pretty close to that already, in some areas. Google Search is a good example; autocorrect on the Android keyboard is another.

This seems to only be a video of the closing of FOSDEM. Some stats, thanking volunteers and reminders for people to clean after themselves. Am I missing something?

Thank you for pointing this out. I spent so much time with the old ZX Spectrum, but I still totally missed the reference. For context, Clive Sinclair is most famous for the ZX Spectrum computer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki&

Probably thrice since that looks like a pun. "Jebo" means "fuck" in the local language.

Yes. So much wisdom is so simple. There are apps that benefit from being SPAs, your google maps, and the like. Our CRUD app is not one of them, but here we are still with React, and Redux, and Mobx, and ...

Insulin lowers blood sugar. Hypoglycemia is "low blood sugar". Insulin is NOT treatment for hypoglycemia. Insulin shot can be fatal in case of hypoglycemia. In case of hypoglycemia, it is imperative to raise blood sugar as soon as

I'm a T1 diabetic. This is quite false. What you're describing are the symptoms of hypoglycemia; a very low blood sugar level. Not only would insulin not help in that case, but would probably be fatal. The best way to treat hypogl

It's old and boring and sensible. You need a SPA if you're building something like Google Maps, but most products just don't need it. It introduces so much overhead and so many new problems that just don't exist in a ser
