I had an out of network emergency room visit with a kidney stone once while covered by a $1,000/month UHC platinum plan. When the bills arrived I stupidly paid them thinking it’d be easier to just file the claim for reimbursement from

For Rails apps, you can do this using the ActiveJob interface via https://github.com/bensheldon/good_job Had it in production for about a quarter and it’s worked well.

I get mild carpal tunnel symptoms when working straight on my Macbook, so I bought a Kinesis Freestyle Pro. The split and tenting are great and do the trick for my wrists but it's got a different layout than the MacBook. And a lot more

I have a good friend who is a hygienist for two dentists. One is completely inept and the other an outright scammer. The inept guy generates business by doing such a poor job with fillings that crowns and root canals are always eventually n

Damn. I haven’t read much of The Athletic (don’t have that subscription level) but I’ve enjoyed NYT sports coverage for forever. They always seemed to have interesting, subtle, and original takes on whatever they were covering. More “litera

Down for me on the US West Coast for 9 hours now. Love the service and it's been rock solid for over a decade for me. I do understand the concern with the lack communication with this outage, however. It's a bit of an organization

Yes. While it’s less common, I’ve seen orgs struggle because they didn’t have enough imagination. Every feature is done quick’n’dirty and eventually you have people whose full time job is to respond to customer complaints and fix data str

US ski patroller here, this is happening via Apple Watches here too. Not nearly as many as in the article, though. Couple times per month per resort.

I understood "infant amnesia" but wondered how far back my kids could remember when they were little. As soon as they could start to communicate with words (around 12 months?) I asked both kids about being born, and being in mom

Don’t forget that the flavors and textures will also be optimized along the way. It will taste better to more people than animal meat.

I downloaded and installed the first “browser” (what a weird name) to see what the hype about “hypertext” (sounds sci-fi!) was all about. It was a page of text where some words were underlined and blue. And if you clicked on a blue word, it

Yeah, I hear ya... of course there are degrees of in-between. In the article and the comments here, however, the tone of the criticisms of this guy and his ideas (e.g. "managed a few good years of self-promotion") seem weirdly per

Darn, I use YouTube as a quick communication channel to users of an app I maintain. I’ll throw up a video to show a new feature or that something has changed. Sometimes I answer single tech support questions with a short video. That’ll be

The apartment gem enables multi-tenant Rails apps using the Postgres schemas approach described by others here. It’s slightly clunky in that the public, shared schema tables, say, the one that holds the list of tenants, exists in every sche

Good luck. Just wanted to chime in that my Dad had similar (albeit milder than yours) issues and ran across the Norman Parathyroid Center website while researching his problems. He had surgery there about 6 weeks ago and indeed they found a

Love this. What I've seen lately, as a contractor at several different companies, is inexperienced devs getting a very long way building apps without knowing what's going on with their database under the hood. That's a testam

Do you mute the announcers? They're the ones constructing the narrative. And of course, the replays and camera angles are a huge part of the production too. So yes, it has changed with more technology: the virtual l.o.s. and 1st down l

My dad is 81 and started having hearing loss a few years ago. He just sent me a pic showing the degree to which he was able to shrink his DIY hearing aid once he settled on the circuit design: https://photos.app.goo.gl/4lOwf
