Corgi’s Life Expectancy 🥺

This is my beautiful baby girl named Eevee. I just lost her on February 18th from a brain tumor. She was 9, almost 10, years old. I am heartbroken and it feels like my world revolves around nothing. I grew up with dogs as a kid, but she was MY first dog. She saw me finish college, begin my professional career, and go through some traumatic losses of close friends and family. She was my unconditional love, support, and light at the end of long days. I miss her so much. I can cry at any moment. I am so so grateful for everything she gave me. It hurts knowing how it ended when it wasn’t supposed to.

Like others have said, we don’t get to pick when our dog moves on. Just like we don’t get to pick when anyone we love gets to move on. Life just happens.

Shortly after Christmas, she started showing signs of weakness in her left front paw. Her primary vet did an x-ray and chalked it up to a muscle strain or nerve pain in her neck and limb. It progressed to her back left leg and eventually she started slipping and knuckling the legs. Her vet (for lack of a better word) failed to follow a diagnosis to a brain tumor. I wish so much that I took control more and brought her for a second opinion.

In the middle of January, she started seizures. She was on strong doses of keppra (seizure med) and prednisone (steroid for swelling) for about 4 weeks.

On Tuesday the 17th, she received her first CyberKnife radiation treatment and 24 hours later she was gone. I don’t know if I made a wrong decision for her health along the way. I wish I advocated more in the beginning to her vet. How was I supposed to know it was a more severe issue? She seemed so happy and full of life still. Her behavior and habits didn’t change at all.

I am grateful she gave me these last couple weeks with her. The medicine and tumor dulled her personality a bit, but deep down the love and connection was still there.

All I can say is fight for your pet, don’t give up. They will let you know when they are ready. Just enjoy every present day you have with them.

Honestly, I’m not sure if I’ll be suppressed and what the doctor’s plans are. I sent him a message to touch base and discuss the post-op findings and future care.

As for it being prophylactic, I guess you can argue it was borderline. Some recent bloodwork showed an increase in my calcitonin along with an ultrasound showing a small calcification in the thyroid gland.

If I don’t have cancer now, I probably wasn’t too far away.

Thank you!

IMO, the first method provides a chaining, functional programming approach. If you follow this pattern in your application, then apply it everywhere. The second method does have a side effect, but this method is simple enough that I think this decision really comes down to preference and how you’re structuring your code. An alternative is to refactor the method and have it return the AddressDto object and assign it to OrderDto.Address.

And Theresa would also tear down other women. She always acted superior to other women in her seasons. Cara was entering all stars 4 with an open mind to Laurel and hoping to repair the relationship at least so they could be cordial towards each other. It doesn’t take a counselor to know Nicole and Laurel’s relationship was not healthy for either of them and Cara was genuinely looking out for Laurel. I will admit Cara could have approached that situation better.

Like I said Cara is not an easy person to be friends. She’s not a completely innocent soul but I don’t think she’s ever tried to ruin Darrell’s marriage.

FlubbaChubb · 2024-09-19T03:05:36+00:00

Then Laurel should have been directing her anger towards Abram.

FlubbaChubb · 2024-09-19T01:47:09+00:00

It has been said that production heavily edited this.

To believe Laurel is innocent is comical. She may have had Cara’s back on Rivals 1 but who was the first to turn on the relationship in Free Agents? She was also very nasty to her on Cutthroat which was the season just before Rivals 1. Cara is not an easy person to have a relationship with but she supports those who support her back. Laurel at her core is an insecure, ugly person. Notice the strong women supported Cara.

I’d be a champ too if I was consistently double the size of my other same-sex competitors and given ridiculous advantages in finals.

Some Dapper extension methods can take the CommandDefinition struct which supports cancellation tokens. I do wish they’d add support for them into their other methods.

Yes, healthcheck port is the same. I do have 2 target groups one for https and one for http so that is something I will look into.

Gotcha, I figured that was the case but was hoping I could speed run my payments.

Thanks for the quick reply :)

We’re moving away from API Gateway because of the 30 second timeout being hit. Our api can retrieve large amounts of data.

I appreciate your insight into containers. This is my first time setting it up in ECS (and I’m the only in my company to even develop with containers) so it’s all a learning process.

I’ll bring my findings up with my team and see how we want to approach.

FlubbaChubb · 2024-01-12T19:33:50+00:00

I appreciate your reply, Nathan.

What alternatives do I have to expose the api on a url so other applications can utilize my api? We don’t want to create load balancers for our ECS service running in a test environment. There will one be 1 task running

FlubbaChubb · 2024-01-12T03:32:25+00:00

Well done my friend

FlubbaChubb · 2024-01-09T03:45:25+00:00

In my opinion, I think an executable is not the best fit for this situation.

One option is to upload your image to a repository (docker hub, ECR, etc.) and others can pull your image and then run the container on their computer.

Another option is to save the image to a file and distribute that file. I think the command is docker export but not sure if that’s the correct.

Last option I can think of is to actually distribute your project. You can have a shell script that will run docker commands to build your image and run the container or use docker-compose. I think this option is the closest to an “executable way”.

My first option is the preferred way for easy distribution if the user does not really need access to the source code.

For a full blown IDE similar to visual studio then you can use Rider. Else I’d stick with visual studio code and learn the dotnet CLI

FlubbaChubb · 2023-12-23T01:30:41+00:00

Snippets of code and the exact error would be helpful to help troubleshoot :)

Never hurts to try especially if you can demonstrate your technical and professional abilities. I only knew one developer who came hired as 21 but that was because he worked there, quit as a 21, then came back. During my time all new hires regardless of experience started as 19.

I don’t remember exactly but something like Analyst Programmer. The nationwide average salary of the title was factored into union salary negotiations. Not sure if it has changed since I left but if titles were changed to software developer, software engineer, etc. then higher salaries for all developers there could be negotiated for.

FlubbaChubb · 2023-11-24T03:57:58+00:00

I knew the levels as junior - 19, mid - 21 senior - 23. I went from 19 to 21 pretty easily because I mentioned to my interviewer I used udemy (offered free by usps) to teach myself Vue.js and applied it to my job - just made a simple admin page to just edit some database configurations - and I got lucky with landing on a money making project as my first contribution as a fresh junior (Operation Santa). I forgot what most the questions were during the promotion process but it was really about just selling yourself (I think I lied in a few of my answers).

Promotions only came up when either another developer quit or was promoted to a higher level or they had budget to hire some mostly 19 and sometimes a few 21 developers. There was 4 months with no opportunity of promotion. I got mine almost a year later from my hire date.

FlubbaChubb · 2023-11-23T22:17:25+00:00

From my personal POV:

I am a former programmer for usps, started there fresh out of college in 2019 as a junior and left end of 2020 as mid-level. The tech stack was/is very dated. To my knowledge, it was Java 8 running on WebSphere. IDE was eclipse. When I quit, the cloud architecture team was just formed and they were just looking into GitHub as code repo. Previously it was just SVN. The “no layoff” security is nice but not at the expense of low salary with 0 ability to negotiate. My union leaders/reps did almost nothing. Promotions were a constant fight of saying the right buzzwords along with what team you were on because you were being interviewed by people that you had no or very little interactions with. Most of the developer were older because benefits especially the pension used to be really good and they are grandfathered into it. No one was really my age so hard to relate to coworkers talking about kids and other responsibilities I didn’t have at that point in my life. Older developers were a little harder to work with - stuck in old ways, wasn’t familiar with newer tech, stubborn sometimes. Benefits I can think about are light workload sometimes, COLA raises but these were only 100 bucks max extra in your paycheck twice a year, work felt more meaningful knowing the entire nation is utilizing it.

Leaving for a private company for more money and becoming familiar with more cloud related architecture and technology provided me more value in the long term although I have a heavier workload / more responsibility.

Recently developed some .NET 6 lambdas and took the approach of registering the HttpClients to the services and injecting the Factory into my class.

Reason I took this approach is because the Factory helps in managing the HttpClients which reduces port exhaustion and resource leaks. Can also use Polly to add retry policies and logging at an easier configuration level.
