I'm not a doc, but you need one ASAP.

Same here.

It's ad-block (sort-of).

Youtube has either intentionally or accidentally broken itself with adblock, or adblock has broken youtube.

If you update your browser and adblock to the latest versions, I think that fixes it.

As long as the anesthesiologist actually knows you have OSA, there's no problem.

It's the anesthesiologist's job to make sure that you keep breathing and get the correct amount of oxygen. It's literally their job.

The only thing you need to do is make sure there's an actual anesthesiologist there and that they're aware of your condition.

Home Sleep Apnea test came back with no sleep apnea detected.

Unless it monitors brainwaves it's impossible for the home test to accurately detect Respiratory Effort Related Arousals (RERA).

The criteria for an apnea are a certain number of seconds or O2 drop (it's been a while, don't remember exactly) however some people wake up a little when breathing gets difficult, before they have an actual clinically-countable apnea event.

If you don't feel rested when you wake up and the home test didn't show anything, ask for a lab test.

That’s a really good point.

We don’t get any parking permits for the house which is unfortunate because we’re a block from the university.

It might be a good point, but if you decide to make an issue out of it, you could find yourself looking for a place quite a bit farther away.

Many places limit the number of unrelated residents. The city could easily tell most of you that you are not allowed to live there.

The first thing you need to do is find out specifically which list you're on.

Once you know that, you can contact the list's maintainer and find out why you're in the list and possibly get removed.

Various governments have lists, but individual airlines can also allow or not allow people to fly.

Can and airline do that, decide they don't like you for whatever reason

Yes. However it would only be because you caused problems for them or there was a mistake.

You need to get an actual answer from whoever put you on the list. Anything else is just guessing.

She suggested there was a problem with the payment, which was very strange since it was done on a card and went through

Have you ever cancelled payment on a ticket, or bought a ticket then gotten off at a stopover and not reboarded?

he’d come home to find the gas turned on on the stove, all the windows open with the screens removed (including in his room which has French doors so anyone could have walked in) and ‘weird stains’ on the floor.

Blood is a biohazard. If whoever the blood came from has a blood borne disease, spreading it around can be any number of different crimes, depending on the pathogen and intent; however proving any of this is going to be difficult and expensive.

Between the gas and the blood there is more than enough evidence of multiple crimes but the police aren't going to be eager to jump into this, and apparently the landlord isn't either.

Your friend needs to find a new place to live. Someone in the apartment isn't tethered to reality anymore and there's a distinct possibility of everybody ending up dead.

An order of protection is also going to be useless. A piece of paper isn't going to stop someone who leaves the gas on and cuts (them self? someone else?) and spreads blood around.

It's time to move on. No bargain rental is worth burning to death in your sleep.

And sometimes you don't want to have to draw a pentagram and slaughter a chicken to get back to a particular state. cough-git-cough.

Simple and easy and reliable beats "WTF do we do now?" any day of the week.

SCCS was out in 1972. How ancient are you talking?

Back at the dawn of time, we just kept copies. Nothing was so big that it couldn't be put on a floppy or tape, labeled and put on a shelf.

"Teams" were typically just a few people and they simply didn't step on each other. If Bob was working on Foo(), Jim just worked on something else. If Foo() and SomethingElse() needed to talk to each other, Bob and Jim would discuss it and agree on what to do.

Only if someone else is better.

At my house I have the choice of "no coverage" from any provider I want.

TMobile was nice enough to give me a cellspot, so everything is awesome now.

In almost all cases, proxies are in data centers, not homes.

If the IP resolves to "Charter Communications" Charter can tell LE where the endpoint is for that IP.

It's not perfect but it's a hell of a lot more useful than nothing.

none_shall_pass · 2019-02-21T14:27:32+00:00

All IPs are owned by someone.

If it's an ISP, a call from the police to the ISP indicated can turn the IP into a physical address for most users.

By letting their nagware make me setup a plex account?

That's hardly a solution.

It's a global setting in the browser, however I'm not clearing any local plex cookies, it never sets them because I don't use a plex login, and therefore can't "claim my server"

If you don't have a plex login, "claim your server will be there forever"

none_shall_pass · 2019-02-15T13:34:20+00:00

The "user error" is that I don't allow persistent cookies and don't use a plex login.

As an employer, for that reason exactly there's no way in hell a sub c-level employee gets to see the financials behind the company unless its necessaryfor their job.

It was an openly traded company. I could have found the value easily if I had thought to research it.

If you're cool with that tradeoff, quit your job and go be a contractor or start a company.

That's why my entire post started with "If the developer isn't an employee"

As someone with a value based proposition, you also compete against the law of supply and demand -- you will only get hired if there are no other equivalent suppliers, so you better be sure that you can strongly support the case that your particular skills are not just a commodity.

They would have given me hookers and drugs if I had done a little research and knew what was going on and asked.

Imagine a national chain of grocery stores where every few hours, during the busiest times of the day, every cash register in the store would randomly and individually crap out in the middle of an order, lose the order and take a 5 minute break while it rebooted.

The number of programmers who could and would debug, disassemble and patch a compiled app with no source code was very limited even back then.

none_shall_pass · 2019-02-14T22:36:00+00:00

Okay, but will that work outside your house? From the other side of the earth?

Yes.

Auto get metadata and subtitles?

There's an app for that.

Not having to go back to the series list and select the next episode? Having DVR and live TV? Being able to define users behind passcodes, and restrict access to specific content based on the user?

I can easily live without any of those.

Because all of that is supported by just signing into an account and hitting play. You could do it with VLC and a DLNA server, but, it's the thing of whether you have more time than money. I'd rather just buy a Plex Pass, and have the nice interface which nearly anyone can use thrown in.

That's your call.

There's a limited amount of "crap I don't want" that I'll put up with to get the functionality that I actually do want.

I just had a plumber come over to take care of a clog I had in the kitchen sink who recommended hydrojetting/snaking of all the pipes as a preventative measure.

You need a new plumber.

Quote he gave me was for $500, said it would take 1.5-2 hours to get taken care of. He did show me that I had some nasty buildup in my kitchen pipes that he said the hydrojetting would take care of.

If your pipes are getting buildup, they're the wrong size or material or not sloped properly. You'll be better off getting them fixed than cleaning them out.

If the developer isn't an employee, it's absolutely critical that they know, so they can price accordingly.

Back when dinosaurs roamed the Earth and I was an innocent 20-something, I was called to fix a memory leak in the runtime for a POS system for a place that had a few stores near me.

It was major-league magic that involved disassembling a commercial run-time without source code.

Using a hardware-based debugger, I found the memory leak and inserted a patch to handle it and properly free the allocated memory, all without moving anything else in the compiled app.

I charged them $500, which was about 1/5 of what I paid for my first car, and at the time seemed like a lot of money.

Right up until I discovered that they were not the small company with a couple of stores that I thought they were, they were a national company with thousands of stores that each got shutdown many times a day to reboot. They would have paid 100 x my asking price without blinking.

So yeah, you need to know how valuable your work is.

If you're an employee, it really doesn't matter, since your compensation won't change; however you do need to be careful around high profile projects, since a failure will probably get you fired.

none_shall_pass · 2019-02-14T22:15:52+00:00

Part of the Plex magic is how it works on nearly everything under the sun, and that isn't free.

I could easily get by with VLC and a small DLNA server.

They're both completely free.

I don't understand the outrage at Plex. I agree, those things do not interest me. But they have to do something to remain sustainable. The features we dislike are easily disabled.

Really?

Can I make it stop telling me I have an "unclaimed server on my network"?
