Is this #HBOMax #WW84 film grain a compression artifact or was this intentional? The film is glorious but the grain is overwhelmingly distracting.
I’ve been looking closely at this and here’s what I thing. #ww84 added a film grain to get that 80s look, but expected the film to be on a big screen at a FAR FAR higher bitate. Whatever codec that #HBOMax is using is emphasizing the grain to the point of distraction.
Moving off the Xbox #hbomax app to a chromecast ultra to see if 4k helps #ww84’s film grain
#ww84 looks WAY WAY better on Chromecast Ultra than the #hbomax Xbox app. Seems the bitrate and res on that app are suboptimal. Hope they fix it.

After a week of virtual high school here’s the virdict - online document management is a hot mess. It’s a mishmash and URLs, PDFs, google docs, links to docs, attachments, and proprietary comment systems. Underpowered Chromebooks struggling to zoom, PDFs with no way to markup.
Watching my kids get a crash course in online document management. We are stuck at 80% as an industry and we have no standards other than nasty looking URLs, OAuth, and the clipboard. The kids are the integration point and everyone is struggling.
The teachers are just ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ “email me a photo of your PDF.” This is an area that needs open standards, not better google docs or O365 systems. Document templates -> document instances -> links or copies.

First, welcome to your new life! Ask questions! Find a work buddy with whom you feel comfortable asking any tech question. Never let anyone make you feel bad asking a question - there are no dumb questions. Ask a lot. Draw diagrams. Read code. Reassert your assumptions. Breathe.
Build a network of positivity and mute or block negativity (online and off). Learn git and learn to type fast - it narrows the distance between your brain and getting the code out of your brain. Save EVERYTHING. Collect links, code, samples, beyond stackoveflow.
Take care of yourself. This job can destroy your hands, back, shoulders. Walk, talk, stand, squat, whatever. Your hands and back and brain are your money. Treat them right now and they’ll last you 30-50 years.

I don’t speak in hyperbole very often, and I want to make sure that you all understand what a big deal this is for the diabetes DIY community. Everything that we’ve worked for for the last 20 years, it all changes now. #WeAreNotWaiting
Every diabetic engineer every, the day after they were diagnosed, tries to solve their (or their loved one's) diabetes with open software and open hardware. Every one. I did it in the early 90s. Someone diagnosed today will do this tomorrow. Every time.
I tried to send my blood sugar to the cloud from a PalmPilot. Every #diabetes person ever does this. Has done this. Then @NightscoutProj happened and #WeAreNotWaiting happened and we shared code and now we sit on the shoulders of people who GAVE THEIR IDEAS TO USE FOR FREE

It’s kind of bad that one political party says it’s the party of biz and entrepreneurship when the number one thing keeping folks from starting a biz + quitting their regular jobs isn’t capital - it’s healthcare. Give us universal healthcare and millions of businessss will start.
I speak to hundreds of businesses, even ones with 10-15 employees often have no healthcare. And there’s two kinds of people at those companies. Folks that buy healthcare on the open market who are young and healthy, or people like me who have A Thing and pay triple or have none.
I enjoy where I work and I love my job but with my Type 1 Diabetes and my wife’s Cancer, we are listed as the riskiest of the risky. I have no extra life insurance, can’t buy it. They won’t sell it to me. But I’d put my blood work and test results up against any of you, anytime.
