Thanks for that link. It is pretty shocking to read that Proton is being run by such a toxic CEO. I'll be looking for alternatives.

There is a syntax you can use to search for entries that contain both A and B:

>+A +B

It is annoying but it works.

Several companies are developing thermo acoustic heatpumps that will have some advantages over regular heatpumps. They should produce less noise, don't use greenhouse gasses and work in a wider range of temperatures.

My Toyota hybrid reliably does not start after 4 weeks not driving. The 12 volt (1 year old) battery is drained too much after such a period of inactivity. I was not expecting this from Toyota, pretty disappointing.

It's only a limitation in the UI. Using powershell you can still create client secrets that are valid for hundreds of years.

Wow, this brings back memories from more than 3 decades ago. I created a routine on the C64 to copy memory and calculated the performance then around 25KB/sec.

The first version contained a memory corrupting bug that took some time to figure out. Depending on the locations of the source and destination you have to start copying forwards from the beginning of the source, or backwards from the end. If there's an overlap you risk overwriting the source before it is copied to the destination.

I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes or LADA in my early forties and two things helped me deal with it. The hospital put me in a room in the oncology department. Seeing the other patients I was sort of glad I was there with 'just' diabetes and not cancer. This made it easier to accept.

After a couple of months of living with diabetes I created a simple app to enter the numbers, glucose level and insulin units, involved in managing diabetes. Among other things the app showed percentage scores of how much the glucose measurements were on target. That little bit of gamification was exactly right for me. Nowadays it's more like autopilot though.

Still it feels a bit awkward when I'm out having dinner with people that don't know I have this. In the first year or so after the diagnosis I would go to the bathroom to take the glucose measurement and insulin shot. Nowadays I explain the situation and take my shot sitting at the table. So far people have been cool about it.

When I scrolled through the page and saw 'TV personalized for you' my brain instantly appended 'ads' after 'personalized'. I had to read that sentence twice. Personalized is such a red flag.

For day to day usage you need at least a Premium account which is 8 Euro a month. I loved the user experience for doing iDEAL payments but that's all I used it for so I stopped my subscription.

As a type 1 diabetic I'm always a bit disappointed when diabetes is mentioned in an article without specifying the sub type. It makes me wonder if they only encountered type 2 diabetics, or other types as well.

The folks at the hospital were not sure at first. I'm neither young, nor old and overweight so there were different opinions before some specific blood test was done.

Exactly that.

4 years ago I got diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in my early forties. The hospital staff showed me how to manage my glucose with long acting and fast acting insuline.

As a programmer I'm good with numbers so everything was pretty much under control but I started noticing that I needed less and less insuline up to the point that I needed no insuline at all. This was about a year ago. At that same time I had some new physical health problems and it turned out I had celiac disease as well. Bummer :(

One side-effect of 'untreated' celiac is that carbohydrates are less well converted to glucose and so my glucose levels stayed normal without using insuline. Unfortunately it meant I was not cured from type 1 diabetes.

Now that I am on a gluten free diet my insuline usage is back to normal and I stopped farting as a bonus :)
