“certain open-source systems come close to regulating blood sugar completely autonomously. Although commercial systems are advancing, none is as near to solving this important problem; they currently use hybrid algorithms that manage insulin dosing most of the time, but they require a lot of manual input. For instance, users must program in meals to ensure that the devices deliver large corrective insulin doses.

By contrast, many open-source systems do not require meal announcements and come close to being a fully closed loop”

Dogs are the best. This is such a beautiful, sweet story in The Washington Post: "Dog kept escaping shelter to sleep in nursing home. Staff adopted him."

• A precariously stacked tower of wooden blocks nearly four feet high. The tower itself is labeled "all modern digital infrastructure." The entire structure is clearly held up by one thin pillar on the bottom of the left side, which, if removed, would cause the entire tower to collapse. This pillar is labeled "a project some random person from Nebraska has been thanklessly maintaining since 2003." (remote)

What if Apple and Google are behind pushing React as the default framework for the web, so the experience of using a browser becomes so shitty everyone wants to use native apps instead? 😱

Nice addition to CSS! 👉 Chromium Intent to Prototype: form-sizing CSS property

• Screencap of the PT-BR version of Shining in the Darkness. The scene is a throne room, the king on the throne and flanked on either side by advisors. The caption reads (without diacritics): "Meu senhor, este e quem eu lhe falei."

Feeling anxious about hanging a collage of nine picture on the wall. They need to be aligned just so, but the hardware on the frames is… merely an excuse to have something. A single hook in the middle-ish of the back is a guarantee for it to go askew, and it does matter when they all hang near each other.

I'm sure I'll solve it eventually, but every night when I have some time on my hands I just can't force myself to start doing it! Oh well, waiting for an inspiration I guess :-)
