It doesn't work well with assets served via CDN, for example.
We didn't evolve to walk on concrete and asphalt, though.
Bowlers often like to use their own balls, so it would be more useful to have a system that doesn't rely on modifying the ball.

Look into Eversense 355 (implantable), it has so much better accuracy for my wife than the Libre and Dexcom CGMs she has tried.
No, the gloves leave stearates (not plastic, but similar looking particles) residue on contact. So there are not literally micro plastics flying off the gloves. Read the article.

Probably PowerPoint, based on the aspect ratio. Why do so many people not bother to use the Export feature and just go with a screenshot??

Imagine an AI recipe building app that helps you create a recipe with certain ingredients, then generates an image of what the final product might look like.
Android runs Java, which runs on the JVM.

That is some scary-sounding information. Do you have any links where we could go to learn more about the toxins in spices and the oats?

Re:Engineering Sleep on Saturday November 30, 2024 @11:17AM (#42282324)
If you're required to work 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, gaining an extra hour or two per day could go toward leisure or recreation or exercise. Or maybe you're already sleeping only 6.25 hours a night, but it is having negative health and mood effects, and eliminating those negatives could improve quality of life without detracting from waking time.
Yeah, you can try this on the ChatGPT app. Take a picture and ask ChatGPT to give you the nutrition info, then do your own calculations based on weight and the USDA database and see how it compares.

Fair use. There are lots of fan remakes and demakes out there.
Thanks for chiming in here. I use Monarch and didn't realize there was a Sankey visualization. Actually I didn't know what that type of visual was even called before this post.
Re:Taking my diabetes treatment into my own hands (2024) on Wednesday July 24, 2024 @12:11PM (#41058534)
FFor more context:

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease. Your own immune cells attack your insulin-producing beta cells in your pancreas, leading you to lose the ability to produce insulin to absorb glucose from the blood. You will lose weight, be frequently thirsty, and have to pee frequently. T1D seems to have a genetic factor which you can be tested for.

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a lifestyle disease where you become less sensitive to the insulin that your body produces. It can be prevented by maintaining healthy diet, exercise, and weight, and it can usually be detected early as prediabetes. There may be a genetic factor predisposing you to T2D, but I don't know if there are tests for it.

You need to know which disease your family had to know which answer it is. They are two totally different diseases that just happen to both be related to insulin.

In the US, the official Omnipod 5 with Dexcom G6 closed loop solution is also available, starting early this year I think. My wife prefers her DIY AndroidAPS setup with Omnipod Dash and Dexcom G7, though, because the G7 allows you to warm up a new sensor when the old one is still active, so she doesn't have any gaps in her data.

Re:DeskHop – Fast Desktop Switching on Wednesday December 27, 2023 @11:44PM (#38790142)
It already exists commercially. Search for boundless or borderless or roaming KM switch.
Re:DeskHop – Fast Desktop Switching on Wednesday December 27, 2023 @01:17PM (#38784782)
I tried to use this for a while but it didn't work well when using different VPNs on different computers. So, I bought a commercial device similar to the DIY one here and it works amazingly well. It doesn't require you to log in to the computers first and you can switch by moving across screen edges or with a series of keystrokes. You can also switch the attached USB devices independently of the keyboard and mouse.

The product is sometimes called a boundless, borderless, or roaming KM switch.

It solely exists for CAFE. Make money with trucks, boost fleet mileage with a low-end EV.
