You can read about the “We Are Not Waiting” movement and the ethical considerations of doing this research, writing the software, and documenting and even to an extent productizing the software for mass consumption.

It is not a zero sum game. Not having this control over the pump can also kill you, because the systems that were available before this movement got started were so poor.

When the hacker community started putting together remote monitoring systems for the CGMs that allowed, e.g. parents to watch their kids at school, or through the night from the next room, that improved quality of life and maybe even saved lives.

Hackers have already tapped into the Medtronic pump to build the world’s first closed loop system. The OnniPod is just another pump in line to be reverse engineered.

If you saw first hand the quality of software being put out by Dexcom and Insulet, this work is serving as an important check&balance as well as pushing them to invest in R&D versus sitting back and milking their patents.

It’s also worth noting that the pod has important hardware safeguards that mitigate the impact of a software error on the remote control side. You can’t just send a message asking for 100 units of insulin because the hardware won’t dose it. You can also hear (and somewhat feel) each 0.05 unit of insulin being delivered as a click about once every 1.5 seconds.

And again I’ll reiterate that it’s not a zero sum game. The software and UI is so bad on the Insulet/Omnipod side that it’s easy to screw up a basal program, or when applying a temp basal on top of an extended bolus, or when changing a pod while an extended bolus is active. All these events can result in low blood sugar events that are potentially dangerous.

Efforts like Nightscout have actually saved lives and while they are not without risk (what thing worth doing is?), the T1D world has been measurably improved because of their efforts.

Finally I’ll says that the reverse engineering effort already uncovered one significant bug in the protocol that we know of. They didn’t delve into the details of the “nonce” but I’m willing to bet that imaging the chip was not actually necessary and that the “encryption” is some homebrew POS which is highly insecure. We deserve to know the protocol which is protecting the communication between the pod and the controller, for example is there a secure DH key exchange happening when a new pod is paired and initialized? Can a third-party controller potentially spoof commands to my kids’ pods? OmniPod would never disclose how this works, so I’m supppsed to just trust them.
You might find this interesting: most mammals have a maximum number of heartbeats of about 1 billion in their life and the smaller an animal, the faster their heart beats. So the faster the heart beats, the shorter their life is. Why this is a rule, I have no idea.

Humans are an exception to this with approximately 4 billion heartbeats possible in life.

It is only mentioned in the german Wikipedia [0] but not in the english.

That’s the only one I mentioned that I haven’t used. I just figured it’s open source, so it’s more suitable than Slack or Hipchat. Thanks for the feedback, won’t be going out of my way to try Mattermost.
Wow, that's a really interesting fact. I hope you don't mind but I updated the article to reference this and credited you accordingly :^)
Thanks for the feedback. I agree, there should some progress display while downloading. I'll be sure to make sure that's there. There are other optimisations I want to make in this area like selecting a resized version to download depending on the current screen dimensions and pixel density. This will improve loading times.
I plan to make a working custard antenna. This was explicitly attempting to tune a bowl of custard, not so much radiate
It looks like developers were just another group used by FB for their own purpose, when convenient. In this case, developers were the "growth hack" doing a big part of the legwork of increasing FB's value and stickiness to end-users, themselves used in order to sell data to the customers (advertisers). Rememeber when Zynga's stock was used as a proxy for FB as they were the first to go public?

Now that FB the ad broker is big enough, they don't need to care about developers and only need to give the illusion that they care about the users.
Why was this downvoted? I literally thanked the poster for sharing this because it was interesting and a thing I may have to run into soon.

I'm sorry you're all offended that I'm on legacy projects right now and we're not at this point yet.
Follow through and don't use what people do on HN/Reddit/etc. as 100% truth. Allow yourself to take breaks, but just continue exploring and doing.

People are always trying to sell themselves and embellish what they do. Plus, in posts, you're only viewing a small window of their lives. You have no idea if they suffer the same problems and just happened to write about completing one thing, ignoring all the failures along the way because no one talks about failure.

In short, don't use other people as a yard stick, but focus on yourself and being happy with what you do.

I haven't released any product, personal project, or website, but I have worked hard at my company and have been happy with things I've done for it. Does it hinder my opportunities? Probably. Do I really care? Not really, because it isn't required of me to live a good life.
As I was reading the other comments, a tip came to me: speak to your boss that you are getting frustrated at his demeanor where he doesn't give you the credit you deserve. And that he is quick to dismiss.

Don't reveal that you don't think he doesn't know much.
How is it anglocentric? To me it seems the opposite.

This is be being unable to buy the show in Russian, in the united states. Region locking doesn't just prohibit US content from being played elsewhere, it prevents Americans from seeing a lot of amazing things produced around the world just as readily.
Just out of curiosity, is anybody here looking to create a new consumer operating system to compete with Windows and Mac? I'd like to, but I have no idea where to start. Talk about putting it off because something already exists! :)
As a developing photographer, having the biggest image isn't as important as having a large-ish image with additional metadata.
That article gives me the chills, treating false rape allegations as if it was some trivial "no harm done" kind of thing. It's a serious matter.

It's up there with allegations of murder, except that people who are cleared of murder generally face less prejudice and discrimination than people cleared of rape.

Intentionally making false allegations should carry a sentence proportionate to the alleged crime, not to mention compensation for harm done to the reputation of the accused.

Most of these people got off easy.

The article also glosses over the fact that most of them were found guilty by a jury, whereas if the alleged rapists would've been found guilty, nobody would've spared them a second thought or cried foul.
Yes, but FOMO [1] is a common thing. Let's use Game of Thrones as an example. If you are a fan of the series, you keep up on all the latest discussion. Right now Reddit is chatting about S8E3, which aired 12 hours ago.

If someone is forced to wait another week, or in the case of films, another few months, the movie could very well be spoiled by reading some online discussion. Fan-based communities move very fast. While they do try to censor spoilers immediately after a new release, the censoring dwindles down rather quickly.

By the time a new film is available in your region, you may have already stumbled across some very severe spoilers which would inhibit your experience.

The better solution, IMO, is to make content available globally at the same time - eliminate regional distribution for online content.

Having worked alongside pentesters, I can assure you that there is plenty of pentesting that is far more complex than QA.

There are already many automated pentesting tools, and those are a good first pass, and yes, they could improve much further and take more of the bottom end of the pentesting market.

However, logic vulnerabilities, hardware vulns, research against browsers and operating systems, malware analysis, and even advanced network and web security testing, are all far from being automated.

It's unlikely that he would step on a needle, specifically, but not so unlikely he steps on something sharp, e.g. glass, or a stone.

> I have never once heard someone suggest it was a bad idea to walk in the vicinity of automobile traffic

you've never heard anyone suggest a 2 year old should not walk near road traffic? young children are explicitly told to stay away from roads without an adult all the time, and parents will often hold their hands near cars so they don't run in front of them.

> but large amounts of sugar are just fine

On the contrary, I hear people complain about kids sugar intake all the time. alcohol is an entirely different thing entirely.

> once someone turns 21 years old then any amount of alcohol consumption is considered more or less fine

It's legal, it isn't necessarily encouraged outside that age group.

As an enterprise software developer who makes software for 'internal' customers, I've not really had to address the issue of accessibility. However, I find this really neat and hope I can be more mindful about it moving forward.

Pretty neat to see how much effort was put into this.
> 99.99% of traditional media and social media are just fillers with no substance or value.

I absolutely and completely disagree with you here. 99.99% media is filler? Just look over the things you read through out the day and tell me it doesn't have more substance than a picture of a girl in an obscure outfit captioned "it's cold outside today".

Today I read about game of thrones theories about newest episode, read news about a terrorist being stopped in France, upcoming events in my town, checking what people selling on facebook market and what's the current employment state in crypto world etc. etc. I can actually explain substance and value in all of these posts. Can you explain value in the instagram post? Other than some questionable social-well-being-acceptance pseudo-science?

To claim that 99.99% of all media and social media is like the absolutely absurd instagram influencer posts is just completely and utterly silly.

I'm convinced that almost nobody is good at the whole cycle of creating/maintaining something.

Some people are great at coming up with new ideas but quickly bore with the implementation. Some people can relentlessly improve on an existing thing but can't come up with the initial idea. Some people are great stewards of an established program but don't thrive in the chaos of rapid iteration.

I think instead of trying to mold yourself into something you're not naturally good at, you should try to figure out what you are naturally good at and build a team around it to support you.

I'm speaking in broad strokes of course, but reading your post, I think you are just not going to be a sole proprietor. You need a team member who can catch your early enthusiasm and then help see the project through to completion.

You need a finisher. Not every starter is a finisher, and not every finisher is a starter, and not every finisher is a good maintainer, either. They're different things.
Is there any of these that can be pointed at a photo library on a NAS or harddrive, instead of having the application copy all the images into it's own location/database (which therefore required double the harddrive space)?
> Does it matter that GitHub themselves is not open source?

It matters a lot actually; a lot of free-software/open source software are licensed that way because the projects themselves are ideologically predisposed.

While that does not hold true for certain (even large) projects like Linux, it certainly holds true for Apache (historically) and GNU.

To put it another way; if you found out GNU coreutils were hosted on Window machines using IIS web servers then you would probably consider that the people making the software (or, certainly those hosting it) are ideologically at odds with the project and are hypocritical.

So, I mean, you get to choose, if you go the Linux way and say "we are open source for pragmatic reasons" then there's no doublethink. If you say "we believe that all software should be free" while simultaneously forcing your users to contribute using closed source software on a proprietary platform then then you're not practicing your ideology, and worse; you're forcing that non-practice on your developers and users.
> They put fans on tall poles in their orchards and run blowers up and down the rows. But this isn’t usually effective.

From my armchair I wonder what the reason is for not having a ground-based solution. Running a small vehicle (lawnmower-size?) with a fan mounted on top between the trees seems like a much more economic way to have the same effect.

Is there not enough space between the trees to pass through (but then, how would they harvest)?

Do the trees suffer, branches break if the air flow comes from below / from the side?
> 2. They mention you should "check security logs to see if any unexpected actions have taken place" and linked to GH/BB security audit log pages, but I don't believe that's sufficient, you also need to check for rogue commits.

It does not seem to me obvious how one would go about determining with confidence that "no unexpected actions have taken place", in really either of these venues, and the process of doing so does not seem trivial.

This is what makes it scary, indeed, and I agree the advice glosses over it as if it is obvious and easy how to do this.
Except in most of these cases the allegations aren't false, and harm was done. The harm isn't being done to the abusive men, but to the vulnerable women.

And, in the context of rape, false allegations are vanishinly rare. In the UK commonly accepted figures say there are 90,000 rapes each year (and the real number is likely to be higher). That's a huge number of people who aren't seeing justice.
Picasa was so useful, so of course Google had to kill it.

It took multiple disparate photo directories and presented everything in a timeline of folders. And because everything was local, that happened quickly, rather than waiting for your browser to get the next 100 photo results from a javascript call or whatever.

Are there any photo clients for windows that present multiple folders as a single coherent timeline? And can manage tens of thousands of pictures? I've got stuff going back to the late 1990s and would love to be able to find all those old cat pictures or whatever.
Which could be never in some places...
In this configuration, yes, the wires are most likely doing quite a bit of the pickup.

The custard is more or less a dummy load - I didn’t intend it to radiate or really work as an antenna - I just wanted to try it to see what would happen.

I do want to see if I can make custard radiate though. It’ll probably be quite lossy but it’ll be fun to try!
While I tend to agree about owning, it's easy to say coming from a place where I entered the streaming media age with a large library of ripped/bought digitally/otherwise downloaded music that covered a lot of the music I liked listening to on a day to day basis.

It's harder for me to make the case that someone growing up today should spend on accumulating a large digital library. Of course, it's a lot easier for people to make a copy of a digital library than it was to tape albums in the old days. But if everyone is pretty much streaming, that option largely goes away.
This is the kind of bullshit advice that alienates people while they are young. They is no dearth of senior developers who are absolute morons, who have coasted on the other people's work and the only proof of their expertise the $years on their resume.

Perhaps I am salty because I am in the same situation as the OP, albeit with a little bit more experience.

I have one of these senior developers in my current team, who has about 10 years of experience. He consistently tries of evade code reviews, probably because a good part of whatever he writes is mind boggling gibberish (dead simple things like proper handling of database connections are not done). Most of the features he has developed are buggy incoherent messes that require debugging every other week. He might might be the most brilliant developer in this hemisphere, but the code he writes and the design decision makes it seem like might be a mentally disabled chimp. He the second oldest guy in the team after me, but he isn't able to answer literally any question related to whatever we've built. Worse, he doesn't admit that he doesn't know it, instead he spouts bullshit which is misleading or outright wrong and waste hours of others time.

Even the other so-called senior developers aren't any better, most of them do the bare minimum to keep things working. The situation is so bad my manager has started assigning the bulk of the development/deployment work to me and 2 other devs, since nobody else seems to care about anything at all.

So yeah, we don't know what situation OP is in (he might be at fault too), but outright dismissing his complaints based on his lack of experience isn't exactly right.
Does AI-Flavored Feedback Require a Human Touch?
Absolutely true, but it is not your sole responsibility to project justice. Society also should enact regulations and oversight to prevent the police from coercing people into forgoing their rights.

That’s why there is the Miranda warning, for example.

You should know and protect your rights. Yes. AND the police should not as a matter of course attempt to coerce you into giving them up.
Build it anyways. Who cares if there's competition. The point is, would you be better if you did build it?

The latest series of Brooklyn 99 is aired on FTA television (E4) and is on All4 (formally 4OD).

You don't appear to have looked very hard.
Given your comment about the two words in Finnish, I think the comment about comic cons has it backwards:

> “If someone says we are playing, it strips away everything we made, it strips away the reality,” said Ms. Aarniomaki.

She’s objecting to being compared to comics instead of soccer, hence “the reality” being stripped — you’re accusing what they view as akin to gymnastics as being mere fantasy.
The second is true. I dont see how their ads contributed to it. Their ads are a huge brake to virality. If they continued allowing e.g. pages to post to all their followers (which was the case initially) there would be even greater outrages. In fact it would be so bad that most people would have left. So, i think their idea to stiff people for $$ actually helped them sustain an audience. In medium term though, they have alienated marketers so much with their greediness that they are leaving.
The police would almost certainly seek a warrant to get cell phone records, location records, and even access to the suspect’s phone if they can show probable cause.

But as I noted in another comment, a warrant involves judicial oversight.
while that's true, a big project like apache could push gitlab instead, as that's _more_ free and open-source.
One little thing - the string that's running out of space here is the signature of the interface, not the signature of the method. You could use that fact together with method scoped type parameters to get a few more, if it weren't for the fact the descriptor would blow up too soon already.

Since it's not mentioned in the article - the signature of a method is the description containing generic information. The descriptor is the erased signature, which, because A strips to Ljava/lang/Object; will likely be a fair bit longer.

An aside - you can (mostly) still get away with corrupting signatures, if you want to obfuscate code.

(eg https://github.com/ItzSomebody/StopDecompilingMyJava/blob/ma... )

(yes, I used to blow up on one of these in https://www.benf.org/other/cfr - (my java decompiler), but it's all good now).
Find people who are also pursuing long term discipline, that like to talk about it and who celebrate your own pursuit thereof. Works best if you're tied into a non-emotional relationship with them like at work.
> none of them charge a subscription fee

Don't worry, they're working on that. EA Access, Microsoft All Access, and others are looking to fill that "missing feature".
Well, they've been using Jira forever.

Usually when people say this they are referring to either Gitlab or Gitea. Well, it's not like all of Gitlab is fully open source, it's just Open Core, but I'm sure that's a sizable amount of the code, but I would imagine there's a decent chunk of gitlab.com source code that's proprietary (I'm sure somebody will quibble with this in a following comment, but the original argument is an argument of purism of being free and open).

Gitlab CE and Gitea doesn't solve the hosting issue, though of course Apache could probably pay somebody to manage that, but then you've introduced extra overhead for collaboration that most people aren't that inclined to solve.
