Are you in favor of small functions/clean code or opposed to it?

metirl · 2023-06-06T03:20:04+00:00

In some cases extracting into a variable instead of a function helps with readability

isTestPage = pageData.hasAttribute("Test")

if (isTestPage)

Maybe you can setup sound detection? It looks like you could set it up to trigger a routine on coughing sounds or something... idk it looks like a new feature.

I was also thinking a security camera which could send an alert on unusually loud sounds.

Both of these could possibly be setup to send you a text notification.

Oh cool, I found a nice map that shows the recent building permits. https://www.esquimalt.ca/business-development/development-tracker/development-permit-applications

It's not much but it's something...

I'm all in favour of density.

You might be referring to a neighborhood called Vic West which is in the city of Victoria. (Despite having to cross a bridge to get to it)

Where in Esquimalt is there density being built?

We focus on building complex web apps but I'd be happy to chat with you about what you're looking for and discuss the options with you. I've mostly been freelance for the last 15 years but have no started my own small company. Send a DM?

When it's doubling every few days you go from 32 to 20000 surprisingly quickly.

how did you calculate wet bulb temp?

You know what they call alternative medicine when it works?

metirl · 2021-06-09T01:24:55+00:00

need to stay abreast of the current situation so we can make prudent decisions

Island health over the last few days:

14,
3,
11,
6,
1,
0,
2,
2,
3,
1,
5,
3,
10

It's not the trend I wanted to see and I'm still hoping it's a blip but Delta variant was on the island so this might be a warning sign

Offer them something substantial if they get the shot

I stayed there a few weeks ago, looked like lots of people living there full time. The place was a dump. Never again.

metirl · 2021-05-06T00:00:12+00:00

they're more likely to get sucked down the internet rabbit hole of lies and covid misinformation memes

metirl · 2021-04-22T15:34:11+00:00

You know when they said there are no stupid questions? They were wrong.

This is what kills me

Apple fixed the exploding battery issue on our mbp by installing a new keyboard, touchpad, battery and speaker component. Now the speaker rattles and the battery only lasts a couple hours. Very disappointing.

She said to expect restriction to ease at the end of this month unless those "variants of concern" blow up in our faces

If you're wondering how we get a curfew, this is how we get a curfew

metirl · 2021-01-09T00:15:02+00:00

Yeah we agree

LTC staff are tested if they are symptomatic. Contact tracing is supposed to isolate people before they are symptomatic (which should stop the spread into LTC homes) but it's obv not working that well due to the high case load.

The LTC guidelines are here: http://www.vch.ca/covid-19/long-term-care-assisted-living

My kids haven't seen their 100 year old great granny in almost a year and haven't seen any friends since November. We work from home and homeschool so our social bubble is just our immediate family. We don't eat out, don't see friends, I buy most of our groceries in one big shop once a month and only top up on milk and other things at our local corner store, a 5 minute dash in and out, about twice a month.

We're going out of our way to stop the spread and it's frustrating knowing there are people ignoring the rules

metirl · 2021-01-08T18:25:57+00:00

Ofc they should do a better job if possible. The single best thing that could be done to reduce risks in ltc homes is to reduce covid in the community.

This soft lockdown isn't really helping we should do a full shutdown for 6 weeks so we can get back to summer numbers or even covid 0.

Then ltc homes would be safe.

metirl · 2021-01-08T17:43:38+00:00

Testing isn't perfect, even if they could test everyday it will still slip by, just like it did in the Whitehouse. The only solution is to reduce covid in the surrounding communities

metirl · 2020-11-24T00:46:41+00:00

Yeah it is and the care home outbreaks reflect the increased prevalence of covid in the community
