  • Something isn’t right with this article. I’m suspect:

    • Type 1 is where your islet cells die off and you lose insulin production. Type 2 means your insulin production is fine, but your cells are resistant to the insulin. A Type 2 should have plenty of islet cells so adding more doesn’t seem like it would do anything. Your body should regulate those cells to output the same amount of insulin as before.

    • This same treatment has been done in Type 1s already. It’s not new. The problem is their body eventually kills off the transplanted cells and you have to do it again. Plus, you have to take immune suppressing drugs forever.

    • “Despite a kidney transplant, his pancreas still doesn’t produce insulin.” - This is just nonsense.

    Fucking Microsoft, with their fully featured toolsets, libraries for everything, fantastic IDE, second fantastic IDE, and cloud infrastructure that actually delivers on the promise of cloud, and isn’t just “bare metal bullshit in the sky”. Hate those fucking pricks.



  • Hear me out: Ernest Saves Christmas

    Been quoting lines from this movie for years:

    • Every time we see Santa at the mall: (lean it to the wife) “His real name is ‘Santos’”
    • Everytime we see a sleigh decoration: “‘Slay’! Not ‘Sleigh’”
    • “Call it a fifth sense. Call it extra sensory perspiration.”
    • “Right as rain sugar. Pork’s my meat!”
    • “It’s all dem movie people want. Poison!”
    • “Having walked from the airport, I’ll be dead soon”
    • … and much much more

  • It’s fallen out of popularity over the years, but reading programming books. The big ones. There is an expectation that a book will contain every bit of info about a technology, and you can learn it, in depth, in one place. Online articles, videos, etc., often just skim the surface. You don’t get that deep learning and facts that the books would have. I find even “Official documentation” online is sparse and often doesn’t include examples to gain understanding.

    Unfortunately, the pace of change, especially in cloud services, cause books to be out of date too quickly, so I don’t see it making a comeback.



  • I’d argue you’re right until you need to track down a bug in the code. Then, to the author’s point, you have to jump back and forth in the code to figure out all the interdependecies between the methods, and whether a method got overridden somewhere? What else calls this method that I might break by fixing the bug? (Keep in mind this example fits on one screen - which is not usually the case.)


  • I worked at a restaurant that had a contest once for which server could sell the most orange juice. At the time, sodas were $0.99 and orange juice was $1.98. So, any time a table ordered 2 sodas, I’d ring it up as 1 orange juice. I won by a landslide. The customers would occasionally ask why their receipt had orange juice, but I’d just explain it’s the same price as the 2 sodas, and that was the end of it.
