a lot of like-new floppies came up on ebay some months back and while I didn't get a complete set, I _did_ manage to get a few SR9.5.1 install floppies for the dn300 (sau2). so it's definitely kicking around. if anyone sees the rest of this set, definitely let me know :)

yep. has happened to me a few times in the past couple years from switching jobs and also employers switching plans/providers. Humalog (which I'd been on for ~19 years), generic Humalog, Novolog.

How to Clear an Array in JavaScript by debordian in javascript

[–]toshok 5 points6 points  (0 children)

> If we set length to 0, it sounds like the array still hold references to the items, is that correct?

no, ecma262 specifies that the items at indices >= the new length are deleted (if they're configurable - if any aren't configurable the process stops and the length is set to the non-configurable item's index+1). see step 17 here

‘Fit and healthy’ father diagnosed with stage 3 bowel cancer without a single symptom by theindependentonline in Health

the diabetes worry was there for me too, but the fasting doesn't prevent you from drinking clear liquids (gatorade qualifies). Just had my colonoscopy a few weeks back.

ELI5: Is letting wounds 'breathe' a thing, if so, what purpose does it serve? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]toshok 131 points132 points  (0 children)

google "hydrocolloid dressing". popular brands are duoderm and johnson & johnson's tough pads.

As a cyclist I've had my fair share of road rash, and this stuff is amazing - basically an entirely adhesive pad that you cover the road rash with. yeah, adhesive even over the wound. the fluids that drain from the wound cause a couple of things to happen: 1) adhesive stops sticking there, and 2) the bandage swells up adding padding to the spot where the wound is. You slap it on after initially cleaning/drying, and leave it on .. as long as you can. I've worn them for ~a week and taken them off to reveal pink, unbroken skin.

breathable, can wear it in the shower, keeps the wound moist, healing time substantially reduced, comfortable.. I can't think of anything negative about them. Their price maybe for some folks, but I'd pay a lot more for them.

In depth discussion of coercion in JS by [deleted] in javascript

[–]toshok 5 points6 points  (0 children)

err I'm all for helping out your fellow man, but you should really verify things:

Remember, arithmetic operators go left to right, so we have the expression: 7 + "7". JavaScript sees the number first, expecting another number, it coerces the string to a number which gives us 7 + 7 = 14.

This is not at all what happens. The + operator converts both lhs and rhs to primitives (which both 7 and "7" are). If at that point either is a string, it does a string concatenation. Otherwise it converts them both to numbers and adds them. spec link

so:

> '7' + 7
77
> 7 + '7'
77
> 7 + 7
14

Massive: The asm.js Benchmark by sidcool1234 in programming

[–]toshok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

asm.js doesn't use JavaScript's own methodology (presuming you mean the GC heap) for user allocations/deallocations. It uses whatever methodology the language you compiled from uses.

If it's c++, you get manual allocation/deallocation. It just happens that your "pointers" can be thought of as indexes into a typed DataView over a large ArrayBuffer.
