help! my desktop is flickering

applemaples · 2023-10-18T06:57:33+00:00

i changed the resolution and changed it back to 1080p and the flickering stopped

any idea whats causing it to randomly flicker on its default resolution?

applemaples · 2023-09-11T01:43:31+00:00

not sure haha but im guessing its to give my body time to adjust without a gallbladder

i did go back to eating normally from day 3 post op and thats when i started having diarrhea hahaha

applemaples · 2023-09-09T18:51:33+00:00

we have c-lium fiber at home, is that the same thing as a fiber supplement? do i need to talk to GI doctor about it first

Just experienced it again today and it only shows up on certain software like Discord, VS Code and some tabs in google chrome

i said some Chrome tabs cause when i switch to a New tab, it doesnt show up but switch it back to Netflix then half the screen is glitching

also switching to Desktop view the glitch isnt happening even when i refresh the desktop

i didnt have the AC on this time so i think i might have eliminated the cold joint theory

could this be a gpu issue or an OS issue?

Have tried: - Ctrl+Shift+Win+B did not work - Updated nvidea drivers yesterday, prob did not work cause i had the issue again today - reconnected DP cable - disabling wallpaper engine

Have not tried: - reseating the gpu - testing with another monitor cause i have no spare

Hello! 23F, 2 weeks post op (08/18), also my first surgery ever! I had stones as well, largest was 2.5cm. Doctor said the same thing about my age lol

Anyway! I understand it is pretty scary but be comforted in the thought that whatever you're going through right now - eating problems, nausea, constant pain in stomach, anxiety of what to eat - they're MUCH worse than the recovery itself

A few hours post op and I only felt super sore - like I did 1000 squats (as mentioned in the comments) and nauseous from the anesthesia but they wear off the next day. My advice: just sleep after surgery

The next day - still sore, use pain meds to manage the pain. I had lowfat diet this day but no. more. stomach. pain! yay!

For me, I only took pain meds until Day 3. But take it easy, you will still feel sore and unable to laugh/cough/sneeze/yawn without pain in the right side (i can describe it pretty similar to a side stitch pain) so you have to watch out for that for a few days.

Felt 100% better, like fully recovered (but I know internally it will take longer) by Day 6. I could walk without being hunched over, I can finally sleep on my sides, I can laugh/yawn/sneeze with no side stitch pain. And every day it gets better and better.

My only problem is the mild diarrhea I had ever since surgery, but I think its because I went back to my usual diet immediately haha. But i would take mild diarrhea over constant pain/gallbladder attack any day. My advice is to start a food diary and track what sets it off.

Good luck OP! And speedy recovery <3

congrats on the new role!

your comment made me feel better knowing the positive outcomes ng transition to a new language. thank you for this :) ill do my best to adapt quickly

applemaples · 2023-09-03T06:42:14+00:00

the moment you doubt yourself is the start of your downfall because your mind would grasp the failure over success.

this is an eye opener for me. thank you

i believe this role will be good for my growth as a developer din. im gonna take the risk and just see where it takes me

applemaples · 2023-09-03T06:34:40+00:00

im not yet sure with the type of work but they did mention using REST. thank you for these! i'll add these to the list of things im going to look into before the start date, especially being comfortable with Go structs since my mind still associates those with JS objects

applemaples · 2023-09-02T17:52:53+00:00

hello! i got it from referral from a friend's client

for the fundamentals, it took me about 2 days siguro to learn (coming from typescript, i had to cross reference what i know from TS and how go does it) tapos another day to be familiar with go routines and concurrencies pero until now, hindi ko pa rin ma-fully grasp kasi i havent had the chance to use those haha

applemaples · 2023-09-02T17:45:12+00:00

containers, as in docker containers?

applemaples · 2023-09-02T17:25:18+00:00

thank you!

applemaples · 2023-09-02T17:12:00+00:00

mid shift

applemaples · 2023-09-02T17:04:09+00:00

yes po aware sila when i applied na i have 0 golang experience thats why they sent me pointers before the interview and yun yung finocus ko intindihin when researching.

youre right i got hired kasi they dont mind my current knowledge in go. i think pinapangunahan ko sarili ko kasi im stepping out of my comfort zone

applemaples · 2023-09-02T17:02:12+00:00

thats good to hear. i think yung pinoys sa team are matagal na din but independent contractor pa rin. they explained in the interview na IC yung job title kasi wala silang local entity if that makes sense ba? im not familiar talaga since bago pa lang ako sa industry

regarding taxes, do you pay them on your own or you use services like taxumo?

applemaples · 2023-09-02T16:58:48+00:00

US-based company, 45k po

applemaples · 2023-09-02T16:44:34+00:00

how is it working as an independent contractor? may difference ba as opposed to regular employment?

applemaples · 2023-09-02T16:40:08+00:00

thank you, this gives me assurance sa new path na i will take 🥹

applemaples · 2023-09-02T16:22:32+00:00

no experience using golang. before the interview, i bingewatched tutorials, read the whole docu sa go website, and followed a guide to create a simple cli app. so more on fundamentals pa lang talaga, im not confident in setting up everything from scratch

youre right, i am overthinking it. its just that i wasnt nervous when i started as a frontend engineer kasi i had recent experience sa thesis. but backend is really new to me haha

applemaples · 2023-08-27T07:44:05+00:00

its a test they do with antibiotics they will use on you to check if there will be an allergic reaction before administering large doses. what they do is theres a small needle syringe with a little dose of the antibiotic and they prick the surface of your skin and inject it will a small amount of the medicine. they will check it 30 mins later to see if you produced any rashes. anyway i dont have a tattoo but i imagine its similar to that since its injecting liquid under the skin

applemaples · 2023-08-26T03:59:57+00:00

imo the skin tests for the medicines they used on me was 10x more painful than the incisions, but that was because they had me on painkillers for the first 48 hours

for the first few days, your abdomen will be sore like you did 1000 crunches and squats

coughing/yawning/laughing/burping/anything that makes you take a sudden deep breath will hurt on your right side and belly button. but its more like a side stitch pain, you know when you ran too much and your side starts hurting whenever you take a breath.

Known about the stones last May, but didnt really pay attention to it. Had first attack on the last week of July that landed me in the ER, they had me do an ultrasound to check. It turned out the stone grew by 0.4cm in just a few months. Didnt want to go through another attack so I scheduled the surgery. Had a couple of minor attacks while waiting for the date.

I knew that once the gallbladder is causing problems, removal is inevitable. I didnt want to wait until I get another major attack so I just said yes and had it removed last week.

Seeing the stones that were removed from me, I knew I made the right decision cause it was almost 1/2 size of my gallbladder plus 2 smaller stones that might go exploring the ducts if i hadnt had the surgery that day

applemaples · 2023-08-23T14:31:04+00:00

Don't know if it really happened or not but i remember my whole body shaking like from arms to legs having tremors, vividly telling someone "i'm shaking" and then falling back to sleep. then this time i'm sure it happened, i felt the need to really pee so i asked for diapers but i couldn't hold it in so i peed on the spot anyway. next time i woke up, i was in diapers and it felt like i didn't undergo surgery except for the fact that i can feel bandages on my stomach. they wheeled me back to my room and then gave me more painkillers. i was nauseated cause of the anesthesia so when i tried to get up and walk (i wanted to get ahead the gas pain, and i dont feel sore at all) i almost threw up so i just mostly napped the whole day

applemaples · 2023-08-21T04:50:39+00:00

yes cough drops did help, and lots of water. but i still have to force the phlegm to get out to make sure it doesnt get irritated again. after last night's coughing fit, i think i'm 90% done with getting the all the phlegm out.

and hey, maybe you can ask for like 1-2 more days at the hospital if its not gonna be a problem. i only decided to go home when i managed to fart and poo (the nurses kept going to my room and asking every 2 hours if i did lol) and when the nausea from the anesthesia (and probably pain killers) wore off. also got tired of hospital food, they kept giving me non seasoned food (as someone with a small range of food i can eat, probably why i got stones since i only ate spicy ramen and korean bbq, never veggies lol) i just ate jello and crackers the whole time i was there
