That's the type of meter the VA issues to me. And, I send my readings to my Diabetes Coach about once a month and we discuss how I'm doing and adjust things if needed. I've been doing this for about 20 years, and am very well controlled.

Much better then finger sticks 20 times a day leaving the tips of your fingers covered in bruises, pin pricks or just numb.

Man, you must have some seriously major case of diabetes if you need 20 sticks per day! I take 22 units of Lantus every morning and Novolog on a sliding scale with each meal and only four sticks per day. One before each meal and one at bedtime.

I agree that for those of us who come into the field before Java, C is about as simple as it gets; there's literally not much to know about the language. However, the majority of post-Java programmers have no idea what a pointer is or the first thing about manual memory management. I actually prefer to work in C over Swift, and luckily Swift bridges to C quite nicely. I use C and Zig for much of my server work, and for smartphone and desktop apps under the UI. Why? Because I get fine-grained control over memory and threading, so my apps are smaller, faster, and more memory-efficient than comparable apps, and by a wide margin. That said, I do think that those who know how to program in C WELL are shrinking. It's not that it's hard, it's that newer entrants haven't used it and it does let you blow your leg off if you aren't careful.

Why do you think that he's going to take the time to look up references for you when you never do?

Block early. Block often. Social media is already an echo chamber. Accept that and keep your chamber enjoyable.

If they buy the Mona Lisa and decide destroying it is what they want to do that is their decision.

Destroy the Mona Lisa? It's been done before. Nobody noticed.

From what I can see from reading TFA, Europe has not one, but two problems, both climate related. One, of course, is the heat. The other, that nobody here is talking about, is a massive drought. I'll bet that we're reading about crop failures and famines later this year.

I hope someone is letting them know this game is stuck in permadeath mode.

Maybe they could call it 20 minutes into the future" .

They're destined for West Texas, where gas companies will pay you to take the natural gas they have to burn off otherwise. They are installing private natural gas turbines to power these things. Amazon is building a huge one as we speak. What's halted is connections to the grid, the off-grid ones are marching along unabated, and there are a lot of them.

No, no, no! That's DeadRat! Can't you get anything right?

I'm using Fedora f43 and running 7.1.5-101. Debian is falling behind.

However, they are very cryptic with brevity seemingly valued over understandability.

Agreed. However, all a new user needs to learn to get started in a CLI is one command: man. Once you have that, and a little practice in understanding what it's saying, you've got everything you need.

We have levels of wealth inequality that are worse than the gilded age right before the Great depression.

Where did you get that utterly wrong idea from? Not that the Gilded Age was a time of great wealth inequality, but that it was just before the Great Depression during the Roaring Twenties, roughly a century ago. If you'd bothered to check, you'd have learned that it ran from the late 1870s through the late 1890s, decades earlier.

So echo chambers for singers with weak voices are still OK, right?
