Medium has been going down hill fast.

I really like Zig.

Managing my 5yo son’s Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) at night is a lot like being on call as a software engineer.

I like shiny new things.

Our 4yo T1D son, Sam, needs to carry a phone everywhere he goes to act as his pancreas.

I use an app called NightGuard to track my Type 1 Diabetic (T1D) son’s blood glucose levels (BGL) and alert me if he needs some food or insulin.

My Laser Cutter bed is 300mm x 500mm, and I need to make a shape that is about 900m x 750mm.

I am building a Blood Glucose Display and just wanted to collect a few of other apps examples together to compare and get ideas:#### Dexcom Libre NightGuard Nightscout SugarPixel I don’t 100% like any of them.

Sam, our 3.5yo T1D, just started preschool.

I needed to implement JavaScript .length in Golang, the solution was pretty fun so I will tell you how.For some strings Golang’s len function will do, e.g. ` “Hello World!”

I was asked by an Insulet (manufacturers of Omnipod) representative if I would like to share our T1D story with Pharmac (the government organisation that decided which medicines and pharmaceutical products are subsidised) via Diabetes New Zealand.

I am thinking about using GoLang and SQLite for a project.

In this post I am going to discuss moving our Type 1 Diabetic (T1D) 3yo son Sam from CamAPS to AndroidAPS; Why we moved, the logistics of the the change, our current setup, and the results we are seeing.

I really love art by Martin Tomsky that is created with layers.

This is the third post about my 2yo son’s Type 1 Diabetes (T1D).

Managing our Son’s Type 1 Diabetes with Multiple Daily Injections and Dexcom G6 Continuous Glucose Monitor In a previous post, I wrote about my 18 month old son’s (Sam) Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) diagnosis and the first month when we were learning as much as p…

And what is NGSP, IFCC, GMI and eAG?

While catching up with some friends in 2021, they nerd sniped me by talking about all the interesting scaling problems they were having at Clubhouse.

This is just a short set of commands that I used to add a dexcom share follower with curl.

A quick guide to pumps available in New Zealand We are tired.

This is not medical advice, don’t base any treatments on this.

I use Redis and Redis uses Lua as a scripting language.

I got a new graphics card because I want to play around with some machine learning using tensorflow and pytorch.

There are a couple different types of security; preventative will stop something bad from happening and detective will alert you when something bad does happen.

AWS DynamoDB is popular because it is super fast & scalable.

For the life of me I could not find a python decorator that memoizes methods on an instance.

So I have been doing a lot of Python and Django lately, but I miss Go.

I joined Coinbase March 28th 2016; my last day is April 2nd 2021.

Everyone has a different path to where they are today.

How does go build compile the simplest Golang program?

I am a huge fan of CodeBullet, an educational YouTuber that makes game playing AI bots.

In my past few posts [1][2] I have written about building a desktop application using Golang with Lorca/Webview to run a WebAssembly (WASM) binary.

On my quest towards building a GoLang Desktop application I found some useful frameworks, Lorca and Webview (which I wrote about in my previous post).

I want to build a local desktop Golang app, there are a few ways to do this: Electron: bundled Node.js and the Chromium browser to create a packaged local web-app.

I want to build a desktop app with: Electron.js: A framework to build a desktop application using a Node.js and the Chromium browser Bazel: a build system to quickly build, test and run applications They seem like they might go well together, so let’s see.

I was looking for a domain name, got bored at not finding any I liked, so started looking for other, more specific domain names.

Gary Bernhardt at PyCon 2014 talked about “The Birth and Death of Javascript”.

In Bazel you put files into Rules and get files out, e.g: pkg_tar( name = "package", extension = "tar.gz", srcs = [:file1, :file2] ) The pkg_tar rule takes :file1 and :file2 and spits out the tarball :package.tar.gz, which you can pass to another rule as…

For reasons I wanted git log to be parsed in Go and it looks like the easiest way to do that is to output it as JSON and parse into Go structs.

How to calculate and manipulate Docker SHA Digests

LearnLog 8:00am — CleanUp Last time I was able to get the basics of custom resources in Fenrir working.

Learnlog 9:50am — Fenrir CloudFormation I am taking today off from learning Bazel and instead I am looking at how to build a CloudFormation static site deployer for Fenrir.

Learnlog 7:30am — What to do today In my previous learnlog I built a tree of docker images able to be changed and rebuilt.

Learnlog 9:45 am — What I want What I want to do is use Google’s build tool Bazel to build a tree of Dockerfiles that are FROM each other and use Bazels dependency engine to automatically rebuild docker containers if a container they depend on changes.

Today we’re open sourcing Fenrir, an open source AWS SAM deployer.

I wanted to parse an AWS SAM template file using Ruby.

Pre-Req: Must have Docker for Mac installed I wanted to play with AWS SAM to understand how it works and compare to other tech like serverless.

AWS Step Functions are hosted state-machines defined according to the Amazon States Language.

AWS provides an API for everything!

So your organization has many AWS accounts, but you have services (like monitoring, deploying, security) that require access to resources across many/all of those accounts.
