Dexcom G7 has had inaccuracies for me. A standardized product meets non-standardized living beings, I guess.

I'm a T1D and tbh it's not that hard to manage, I just wouldn't need that. But for kids or the elderly, I see a use case. The hardest to learn was that an unhealthy lifestyle resul…

The reflex to assign our morally wrong behaviour to the animal part in us is quite ironic. I just don't see jellyfish building concentration camps.

Probably led the LLM to dial up the "hubris" setting to 11

Is the QR code feature also supposed to work in the UI? Couldn't get it to work on firefox and chrome on my phone.

I thought "Dominate or be dominated" was the problem you saw in democracy? Well, then I guess Germany's example is not too bad. "CDU/CSU + SPD coalition won a majority" ... well, n…

I believe your view of what democracy is tainted by what USA democracy looks like. Quite a few countries have more or less successful parlamentary democracies, where winner-takes-a…

Definitely will do that!

"But I will say that trying to solve this problem by hiring more perfect humans is a fool’s errand." No worries. I want to help him, not fire him. I guess the team's situation is a…

Updated with an example. We do, in fact, automate stuff and improve our processes, though nothing's ever perfect. It's the sheer 'randomness' and 'creativity' of the ways typos can…

Sure, it is one way to look at it. My caveat would be: Processes aren't ever perfect.

"What action will he be able to take by pointing out he might have dyslexia?" I definitely agree, that's why I wouldn't tell him that. The json stuff was just an example. I see you…

Thanks for your insight. I guess his reaction deterred me from pressing the issue but that there may be no way around it.

Example: A string value in a json config needed to be updated. On one prod instance, typo while updating the config by hand. Config validation of the software caught it, software s…

We had that culture in the team until recently, if not that structured. The mentioned problems took an emotional toll, I suspect. Maybe we should formalize the process around this.…

Interesting, thanks!!

We do use those, I clarified.

We have a staging environment. I will clarify.

Happy new year! Weird question but here goes. My colleague has a strong work ethic, works hard, learns fast, goes out of his way to increase test coverage etc. I would say his cont…

I don't know about you all, but for me this page is showing dark patterns trying to get me to install malware ("a virus has infected your phone" etc.)

"The executable is around 2 MB"- Every dotnet programmer: "Those are rookie numbers!"

Fun!

OOP and FP are in theory orthogonal principles. Maybe I'm too much of a pragmatic and purists might scoff at me, but I use and appreciate both.

And yes. Everything I like is good-label, everything I don't is bad-label. I happen to like democracy and value viewpoints from conservative to leftist. I don't like fascism.
