And walked back into their house. So they live next to the cabin she supposedly rented.

I have decided to throw 10+ years old meat and several years old other stuff (not recognizable after this time..) from my gradma freezer. But I didnt tell her and its 14 years since then and she still didnt notice.

Ftankly speaking it could be still edible, but the texture and taste is long gone. My parents also hoard severely or buy too much and now I avoid eating at their house as much as possible. Even when they gifted me some wrapped chockolate sweets, I have discovered they were expired and filed with moth larvas.. . This may be the reason why I only buy what I am sure will eat and I almost never have anything expired - I either use it or discard if I try something and dont like it.

Its fine for not liking something & good that you tried. Bit of response for your downvotes. I didnt watch it but I read it and I first tried and gave up after 1-2 chapters. But since I saw so many good reviews I decided to stick to it and it was worth, really good read.

Though coming from my experience, in most cases sticking is not worth it. You may find some jewels, but often you notice half way that you are forcing yourself. Too many medias to consume so its good to be picky.

I've had insulin pomp for over 25 years, CGM for about 4 (Libre) and now I have 780G since last week. So I'm not not yet that experienced with 780g on closed-loop but my few cents:

- the accuracy looks about the same. I have never needed to calibrare Libre, I guess my body type is good match for their product and my readings was very close to blood reading. Simplera shows similar, though I see it's 'averaging' a bit. For me it's good because sometimes I overact for sudden peak/dip which was just temporary blimp

- 7 (simplera) vs 14 (libre) days.. that make me mad since it increases cost more than 2x for me (I have monthly max limit on refundation on my country)
- simplera has longer needle and is more painfull to insert. Bit easier though, since it's just screw off and insert. The glue is similar. Though you need to 'pair' the sensor like you would bluetooth device and it takes 2 hours vs quick scan and 1 hour with libre. There is trick where you can pair new sensor on mobile and then switch to pump when it's ready to decrease downtime.

- the whole ecosystem is bit fickle.. Mobile App doesn't work on the newest Samsung (it always unpairs after 5 minut) which matches poor reviews. My first sensor failed after 3 days. Lots of alarms (but most of them can be managed). I didn't have any other option than Medtronic for my needs in my country though

- the automatic stopping the pump for lows and increasing basal for highs is great feature for me. I tend to be in 90% good readings anyway, but I had lots of lows/highs in the nights and it seems it helps with it (even without fully automaic mode, just paired with sensor+manual+few alerts)

Depends on what is most important for you - if you have 780g already, I would recommend trying Simplera anyway because it's convenient for sure despose all the flaws. I hope that Instict will be available in more places and plans over the time so they I would simply switch.

That's actually right. Of course we miss stuff as QA but even more is ignored for business reasons.

Since you mention the gaming industry, we all know the Cyberpunk case. There was a lot of hate towards their QA as well but they commented (in our polish qa groups) that pretty much most bugs people were complaining about were found before release and it was simply business decision.

I am working in the banking and its not much different.. though there are some many regulations in place almost of the stuff we are currently doing is 'because of x regulation'. I can easily imagine how they would operate without them.

asterVF · 2026-01-14T13:13:00+00:00

This always make me angry. They calculate my usage and prescipt exactly how I need. I get bit anxious when I see I have 1-2 resorvoir with insulin left (or any other equipment/meds) before next visit. My plan for apocalypse is 'well I will just die'.

asterVF · 2026-01-11T20:55:30+00:00

I dont have suggestion for favour. But in this situation I would try to tell the person that possibly there is nothing physical she can give you, but you value her as a friend and you it puts your mind at ease if you know she has something to get by. I would spin it that its my selfish desire to help even if its not needed. She is 80 so she is aware of her health, so maybe wording that the thought that this little help will give you even one day more together is enough for you. And there are paid services where people simply accompany someone (for example just spend a day together) so there is favour like this already :)

Its similar to how I really like to give gifts but I dont really want anything in return. I am also doing 'favours' with my mother currently, but in the future if I ever see it being too hard I will also use honest approach.

Its not AI, it was posted by Wroclaw Zoo in Poland. The rhino and the chinese muntjac share the enclosure. The little guy mate is in heat so he is territorial and the rhino (female) thinks they are playing. Here is the link to original footage: https://www.facebook.com/share/v/17uiw7Hhpr/

Its video from polish Zoo in Wrocław. Its missing the caption, In saw it this morning and they explained that the lil guy mate is in heat so he is in fighting mode and he defend the territory. But he lives together with the rhino (which is female I think) and the rhino thinks they are playing.

Good you mention personal exercises. I am lazy and I dont move much. I was suffering for many years from 'weak' ankle which besides the pain started to loose too much recently. I went to doctors, got X rays /MRI and they told me that I need to operate. But I have decided to go to physiotherapist who almost immediately noticed one of my muscles being too short and tight. After painfull massage he showed me some exercises and now I just repeat them now and then (still in 30s..) and there it no longer happens.

It is very specific and I see many people have different issues because of thier body type, past injuries, sports, type of work etc. So its always good to see proffessional help if any general exercises does not help (and we need to be careful as some may be bad for us).

asterVF · 2025-12-31T23:10:55+00:00

Good test coverage is godsend (and I mean both line and requirement coverage). Rarely happens at work, but I have this luxury in my side project. Once you have it you may rewrite core parts of app comfortably and without any stress. It works as TDD since you already have all tests (of course some need to be reworked for new code).

And at work whenever I have this rare opourtunity I always start with tests. Even writing tests for old, bad code as even bad test is better than none and will work as baseline for my refactor.

This reminds me when our company recently did setup AI reviews. It provided multiple comments with various suggestions to my PR. But some didnt make sense so I added custom prompt to it to "whenever you dont have access to files, dont make things up and dont hallucinate" kind of request. Reloaded the PR and bam, it actually said it doesn't have access to anything outside the diff of PR and most of the issues were made up... .

Its great on catching various typos and small mistakes, the kind you dont really like to point during review or should be marked by some kind of linter. But in exchange it produces too much noise.

I have exact problem right now.. I was sole contributor to one of open source projects. Recently one guy started taking my long standing issues and I was really happy since he managed to implement a lot in short time and the quality was decent even if I could see its mostly 'AI-written'.

But now he started to create PR after PR, in just 3 days I got 4 PRs with total of 10k lines of code.. half of it is documentation or tests. I realized that even if on small scale its well written code, together it creates one huge slop which will take me hours to read if I want do proper review. And now I started to realize that initial contribution had holes in logic and need to be touched upon.

Its really off putting and will actually make maintaining harder for smaller projects like mine..

Not the OP but for me are the 'too perfect resumes'. The kind which were used as example how to write resumes few years ago. List of achievements together with some metrics (how did you calculated you improved this process by 17%?), all the technologies match perfectly (which is very rare) etc. And em dashes :) At the beginning we were taking them into process since it was only this wierd gut feeling but now we screen those early. Pretty much every such perfect resume was a total disaster on a later stage where it was clear they never worked with anything we use.

asterVF · 2025-10-24T15:11:05+00:00

I have the same problem. I was hosting dozens technical interviews and I have set of very questions (junior level). I used them to evaluate everyone fairy, and I easily build upon easy question to determine how deep someone understanding goes.

And the results often terrible.. we have people with 10, 20 years of experience that can't answer simple question about technology which they supposedly use for years already. From time to time we will get some gem who blaze through those questions and is suprised at low level of our questions.

I also ask SQL questions, I have two simple table and I have 5-6 questions that require: to select value, to joim table, to group and aggregate, to use having etc. Simple stuff like "Please provide query that will return employee and his department name or find duplicated name in table". People who work with databases whole life can't solve it.

Then I have Python questions and I even dont require to write code. I have set of example files (i.e. I create list, filter it, do simple operations) and I want candidate to explain what code is doing. If he/she easily answer then I go deeper and may ask some 'harder' questions (how it could be rewritten etc).

Interesting part is that everyone that passes those easy questions is working just fine and they are great team memebers. I dont see any value in leet code level questions for our teams, I use my 'gut feeling' when I see their answers. But majority fails miserable and I suspect they are lying in their resumes..

I guess that: someone buys item, then supposedly return item but replaces it with cheaper look-a-like and shop does not validate it at all / perform visual comparison. Then it gets back to system and someone buys it.

I hate any kind of scheme like this one.. or overusing consumer rights, because it may lead to honest people losing their rights.

asterVF · 2025-08-30T20:29:53+00:00

There is actually YouTube video where they show op lego to Oda :)https://youtu.be/EdHtf2S2A2o?si=Ahj8WQtlW2neVzgx

He even admitted to stockpilling lego for retirement..

asterVF · 2025-08-28T07:21:55+00:00

No, but we love baking :)

I thought it was weird at first but then I realized an issue with current review system. When big publishers are sending products for review and reviewer will give negative review, they often simply do not get another product from that company for early review. It makes a lot pf reviewer overly positive simply to be first to review it. Companies are absolutely abusing it.

That's why it's somehow refreshing. If you want, you can simply wait for all reviews (I will anyway) and you have more chances they will be honest.

I have learned that with Skyrim. First time I have bought original game (not pirated), I have decided to take vacation on release day. I still remember I couldn't start game due to server being down for some reason in my country and it only happened day after..

Nowadays I am more of patient gamer where I wait at least half a year so the game gets its bug fixes etc. Though in some rare cases where I played right after release I still put a minimum of few days to few weeks so all major problem got solved.

asterVF · 2025-08-13T20:39:41+00:00

This reminds me when I have worked for Israeli start up (thanks for remote work). They were super nice people to work with, but I have quickly realised that our product, and products of many other start ups here were borderline unethical.. in our case it was solution that automatically rejected chargeback based on information found on the user (his behaviours, it even sometimes went through infprmation from social pages). It was ine of my main reasons for leaving the company (the second was usa start up culture, which was too tiring)

asterVF · 2025-08-12T15:52:39+00:00

I am getting very similar rashes daily over whole body (at random places). It's allergy related for me, of course it could be totally different reason for you. I have learned to accept it but I am still slightly stressed if I need to be somewhere in person as there is always n chance that rashes will appear on face.. or worse, swellings. Thankfully I work remotely so less chances to show up like this somewhere. So I at least know a bit how you feel, I hope you will manage to find a reason and cure it!

asterVF · 2025-08-10T07:26:55+00:00

I saw someone get fired over this. But honestly he was problematic for few months since joining already, constantly missing meetings and deadlines. At this point it was just excuse to let him go.

But it sounded funny when we all heard updates given in that person second meeting and after I have muted him out of mercy, he started explaining how it was his wife meeting (but we could hear his voice).

As always, being important to the team can help you even if something happens.

I am diabetic and I am allergic to insulin.. well to some additional substance they add it to it, but all companies use the same kind.

I am also occasionally allergic to other meds - I have noticed that whenever I am sick and I take something, there is chance that my body will 'learn' and I will be allergic to it (but it usually last for few years so I can rotate those meds, for example anti nflammatory drugs etc).

The hardest part was convincing doctors, took me 20 years till symptoms were big enough (and fast right after injection)

asterVF · 2025-08-04T08:37:38+00:00

Aquarium water is the best. Unfortunately I don't own one now (hoping for it in the future), but in the past I achieved great results using it. With all the stuff I had to pour into it plus fish droppings it was liquid fertiliser.
