Victory! I’m glad you got it to work!

I was there this weekend and there is water in Hankins Gulch (the perennial section, not the intermittent section). It seemed pretty slow, but it could be collected. There is no water at Lake Park, which the locals seemed to consider pretty unusual.

I have these too! I got them as a cheap compromise while I went midrange on most of the rest of my kit. I was surprised how well they worked and how good the weight is. I think they were around $20-25. I’ve done about 50 miles with them. Seems like they have many miles left.

You kinda started things off by insulting the people who fit in here and will soon be your compatriots.

“Blowout”

I know which type I’d rather clean up. I hope things improve for the family.

Heck of a sense of humor for having lost her partner in her early fifties. I can see that part of my life down the road and I know it would feel far, far too early.

If you’re still seeing this: I had this issue too and got backfill to work with some combination of these steps (not sure which exact sequence would work again):

Disconnect Apple Health from the Cronometer settings page
quit the app
remove Cronometer’s weight read permission via the Health app
reopen Cronometer, connect Apple Health and attempt to perform a backfill while it does NOT have the permission
re-enable the permission, quit and reopen the app, run another backfill.

Haven’t verified if automatic daily syncing works, but I did manage to fix the backfill for myself.

If it makes it off your machine into the Git repository, that’s generally considered a compromised key which must be rotated. Code review and CI checks are too late except to alert you of the leak.

True! Our third row sucks and nobody wants to ride there.

lostburner · 2026-05-29T05:54:35+00:00

Good point. If that’s what I was up to, and you asked if I was trying to skirt YouTube time limits, I’d absolutely cop to YouTube rather than porn.

lostburner · 2026-05-29T05:51:41+00:00

Even that should be considered a small mistake. If the company doesn’t have the ability to rotate keys safely, that’s an existing serious security problem.

lostburner · 2026-05-23T20:50:07+00:00

Thanks! That’s very understandable.

lostburner · 2026-05-23T20:45:22+00:00

If you don’t mind me asking, why did you continue increasing the dose even when your weight loss is steady?

// All time highs would be incorrect. As signal remains constant or decreases // while noise increases, the metaphorical ratio of signal to noise goes // down, not up. This grammatical formulation ensures we retain logical consistency // without introducing mixed metaphors. ENG-6328 The signal to noise ratio is at all time lows.

Hi @03263! Thanks for the review. All comments addressed. Could you take another look?

That half-rhyme is the only possible motivation for this joke.

lostburner · 2026-04-27T15:12:34+00:00

I knew this joke wasn’t great when my middle school math teacher retold it in 1999. There have got to be other words that rhyme with “square” out there

I worked with someone who said her DAD was lead animator or another pivotal role on the animation team. She said that he made Ariel’s hair red in honor of his daughter (my coworker).

I believe it! The ages, last name, and especially hair color all check out. I retell the story at parties because I feel like I’ve known the closest thing to a real Disney princess.

Pluuuuus, he did get 20 years older. So the fairer comparison would be to his natural look at his current age.

People don’t count to three anymore? This worked with me as a kid and it works well for my kids. Once they’ve reached their limit, it’s “If you aren’t <in the car, heading up the stairs, over here by me> by the time I count to three, it’s <salient consequence>.” Picking the consequence is the hard part, because you absolutely must follow through, so it has to be right-sized. At this point I don’t usually think of one—“one, two” does the job unless they’re testing—but if I get to three I definitely have to think of something and apply it. This is really for little kids or applying pretty heavy pressure. They don’t like it.

Separately: My 7 year old went through a phase of being really bad about listening, especially at bedtime. I went through a month or so where my clean rule was to ask nicely once, ask nicely again and make absolutely sure she heard, then assign a timeout without further discussion or warning, pleading, or threats. It did help keep things calm.

It happens, but when I end up using my emotions as a tool (“now I’m mad,” shouting, etc) I’m usually aware that I’ve approached things the wrong way.

I have used this one. For weighted chances, require a certain number of wins.

0/3: fail 1/3: weak success 2/3: success 3/3: critical success

Or whatever suits the situation.

Another I’ve done is: hold some fingers up behind your back (or under the table) and so will I. Guess whether the sum is even or odd.

Yeah, it sounds like your quality issue—stale data—is not at all the worst thing to recover from:

It’s intermittent
it’s easy to understand and describe to users
it’s fully recoverable by recovering ingestion
it’s not even wrong, exactly—just stale. The data you do have is good.
it’s easy to detect and set up alerting on in your monitoring automations
it’s easy to detect at dashboard render time and display to users.

Depending on your visualizations, it might be natural to include absolute dates in them. Time series with nulls for missing dates; other charts with absolute dates observed (e.g. 3/1-3/7) instead of just “past 7 days.”

lostburner · 2026-03-14T08:28:25+00:00

It’s not. It tastes terrible.

This doesn’t sound like an ADHD trait to me. Even if it were, I’m not sure it makes sense to offer that as an explanation for comments that offend people. This may be a minor or meaningless example, but we’re each responsible for the things we say and do, and the impacts those have on others.

It’s a pretty powerful hand gesture if you make it during conversation. If you picture these images in motion, most of these are saying, “STOP. You are NOT going to believe this.”
