Nerds, geeks, gamers... this may be one of the toughest things you read today. Men, I ask that you stand with me and if you EVER see any behavior like what the gal in this article outlines, you call out the offender right there on the spot. Pardon my French but I defy some dipshit to try any of that in my presence!
From the post:
"In every discussion of online harassment you will find men telling women to call the police. What you don't hear is the police telling women to stay away from gaming communities for their own safety. What would gamers say if they knew that police told women to avoid game stores the same way they avoid frat houses?
"Why is this so important to you, anyway?" The officer is blunt, but I appreciate it.
"It's my hobby. I love it. I've been doing this for twenty years."
Her response cuts me to my core, "Find another hobby or... more »

It's finally sunk in: I will have been married to +Lynea Tomlinson for 15 years as of 23 December 2016.
I knew the math, I understood the numbers, but the meaning behind it finally hit. I have literally spent more than half of my life with her.
Cognac is a wonderful drink. :)

15 minutes total time to check-in 3 over-sized bags and get through security, even after setting off all of the metal detectors. That has to be some kind of record o.0
Now it's just a matter of playing the waiting game. When +Lynea Tomlinson wakes up I'll be on the last half of my flight and should be home in time for dinner :)

My daughter has been using this app for a while and last night I decided to give it a shot. So far we've made a few little videos together (despite being in different countries) and it's been a blast.
This is quickly going to become the "go to" app for parties if it hasn't already :)

This was definitely hard to read. Games are supposed to be fun for all involved. ALL involved, not some select few, not some "special class" of gamer. ALL. It's sickening to read/hear about people being mistreated during activities which are supposed to be building communities and making people feel good.
Gamers of all stripes shouldn't need to resort to bringing a posse of security to make sure people keep their hands and other body parts to themselves. If your gaming community is only safe for one group, then it's not safe and it's most definitely not a gaming community worth being a part of.
Thanks to +Tshaka Armstrong for sharing, hopefully more people step up to try and keep their gaming groups safe and fun for everyone.

[Batman vs Superman: No spoilers]
Yesterday I was able to get to the theater to see Batman vs Superman and it took me about a day to process it. When I left the theater I didn't regret having seen the movie, but I was definitely disappointed. Here's why:
1. It felt like several TV shows taken at once: This was "Batman Reboot: HBO edition", "Man of Steel 2: High-end Netflix edition", "Where is Wonder Woman?", and "Cinema Sins Trailers: Justice League intros".
2. Jesse Eisenberg's Lex Luthor was not given the screen time to really show those chops: I actually was on my way to being impressed with this Lex Luthor portrayal, about 5 more minutes of his dialog would have sealed the deal, but really, you don't see much more of him than you see in the trailers. That's sad considering his plans and their execution ... more »

The good news: This Lavabox kicks ass and hits the lungs like a fucking semi!
The bad news: The Escribe software can't read USB via a default Wine installation, so I'll either have to figure out why Wine doesn't have access to USB devices, or run Windows in VirtualBox. Sorry +Peppermint users, I'll keep trying.

I'm so excited despite being utterly exhausted, that I don't know if I'll be able to go to sleep. I got to meet my cousins on the Tomlinson side online. I didn't know I had cousins on that side of the family, much less that we had actually met at least once when I was just a little kid, there are even pictures! I also got to meet my aunt. I spent so many years thinking that the Tomlinsons in my family stopped at my dad, grandfather, and an aunt that passed away after only a few phone conversations that this was a really welcome event!
Now, not only do I have my dad, grandfather, and two brothers, but also an aunt, four cousins, and seven second cousins! What's more, they're all in California and Arizona, so visits after I get stateside in June won't be difficult at all.
Here's a really cool part to all of this: almost all of them speak Spanish too! I... more »

[The rumors are true]
Some of you may have noted that I was outed as moving back to California after 3 years of living and working abroad in Norway. Well, it's true. Here's the gist of what's happening:
1. The wife and kids are already living in Anaheim, waiting for me to get things sorted out here so that I can get home to them.
2. I'm starting my own software company (an LLC) with a trusted friend, business partner, and serial entrepreneur, Jeff Skinner (+Fawnlake1).
3. My company is being hired by my current employer to startup, manage operations, and develop for the soon-to-be US arm of my current employer's company (at which point the employer/employee relationship ends and the customer/contractor relationship begins).
3.a. That means I'll be operating and managing two companies at once, one of which I (co-)own!... more »

[I Highly Recommend This]
I've been using the +Vivaldi Browser for a few months and am very impressed, so much so that in all of that time, I've neglected to open Chrome at all.
There are lots of features to mention, but that's what their website is for, so I won't go rehashing it all here. Suffice it to say that it's worth taking a look at. There are of course some integration features that the team hasn't been able to implement yet (such as email), but those things are on the roadmap and the team has been very open about their progress and how they are prioritizing work.

For the last two work days I've been writing an Android application to demo for a client. Naturally, that got me in the swing of things with regard to Android development and I remembered how my very first Android app hasn't seen any love in a long time. In fact, it was such a long time ago that I I went through two computer changes and lost my old Apk signing key!
I decided to start from scratch and after a couple of hours have a completely new version of Art of War Quotes for Android. The old code repos have been flushed (both were in a broken state anyways) and a new one that I can actually maintain has been created.
Notable differences for this version (which is still waiting on Google's servers to update):
1. The book is no longer stored locally and then split into an array at load time. It now uses my server's JSON endpoint to get quotes.
2. It... more »

+Ikey D went and mentioned that he preferred Rust to Go. As a Gopher, I had to check out what the hell could cause him to spew such insanity.
After a few exercises with the Programming Rust docs, I have emerged. Enlightened.
Does this mean that I think Rust > Go and am gonna go all fanboy on it? Nope, but I do see where Rust would be the better tool for a particular set of jobs compared to Go.
I will say this: Go has (a lot) less syntax, but Rust's tools are more a joy to use. Since I've been fighting with tooling for the last few weeks on various projects (not just with Go, but with C# and others as well), it's both a notable and welcome reprieve.
There goes +Ikey D, startin' shit again... :P

Article: Welche Patienten verwenden Glargin U300 in der Routinebetreuung? Gemeinsame Auswertung der Diabetes-Register DIVE und DPV
Article: Risk Factors for Retinopathy and DME in Type 2 Diabetes-Results from the German/Austrian DPV Database[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: To assess the prevalence and risk factors for early and severe diabetic retinopathy and macular edema in a large cohort of patients with type 2 diabetes Retinopathy grading (any retinopathy, severe retinopathy, diabetic macular edema) and risk factors of 64784 were prospectively recorded between January 2000 and March 2013 and analyzed by Kaplan-Meier analysis and logistic regression. Retinopathy was present in 20.12% of subjects, maculopathy was found in 0.77%. HbA1c > 8%, microalbuminuria, hypertension, BMI > 35 kg/m2 and male sex were significantly associated with any retinopathy, while HbA1c and micro- and macroalbuminuria were the strongest risk predictors for severe retinopathy. Presence of macroalbuminuria increased the risk for DME by 177%. Retinopathy remains a significant clinical problem in patients with type 2 diabetes. Metabolic control and blood pressure are relevant factors amenable to treatment. Concomitant kidney disease identifies high risk patients and should be emphasized in interdisciplinary communication.
Article: Type 2 diabetes from pediatric to geriatric age: Analysis of gender and obesity among 120 183 patients from the German/Austrian DPV database[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: To characterize the clinical phenotype of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) with respect to age, gender, and BMI. Anonymized data of 120,183 people with T2DM from the German/Austrian multicenter Diabetes Patienten Verlaufsdokumentation database were analyzed based on chronological age or age at diagnosis (0-19, 20-39, 40-59, 60-79, and ≥80 years). Age, gender, and BMI comparisons with clinical phenotype were made using χ(2) and Kruskal-Wallis tests (SAS V9.2). Of all the patients, 51.3% were male, average age was 67.112.7 years, and average disease duration was 9.99.1 years. More girls than boys were diagnosed during adolescence and more men than women during adulthood (2060 years). No gender differences existed when age at diagnosis was 60 years. Patients were obese on average (BMI: 30.5±6.1 kg/m(2)) and had significantly higher BMI values than German population peers. The BMI gap was widest in the younger age categories and closed with increasing age. Adult women were significantly more obese than men. Obese patients more often had elevated HbA1c (≥7.5%), hypertension or dyslipidemia (irrespective of age), microalbuminuria (adults), or retinopathy (elderly) than nonobese patients. More men than women (20-60 years) had hypertension, dyslipidemia, or microalbuminuria while more women than men (≥60 years) had hypertension or dyslipidemia. During puberty, more girls than boys were diagnosed with T2DM while during adulthood males predominated. T2DM manifested at comparatively lower BMI in males, and younger patients were more obese at diagnosis. Age, gender, and BMI were also associated with poor metabolic control and cardiovascular disease comorbidities/complications.
Article: Milde und fortgeschrittene Retinopathie bei 60214 Patienten mit Typ-2-DM: Analyse der DPV-Datenbank
Article: Multiple complications and frequent severe hypoglycaemia in elderly' and old' patients with Type 1 diabetes[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Elderly and old patients with Type 1 diabetes represent a growing population that requires thorough diabetes care. The increasing relevance of this subgroup, however, plays only a minor role in the literature. Here, we describe elderly patients with Type 1 diabetes on the basis of a large multi-centre database in order to point out special features of this population. Data of 64609 patients with Type 1 diabetes treated by 350 qualified diabetes treatment centres were assessed and analysed by age group. Compared with the age group ≤ 60 years, patients aged >60 years (n=3610 61-80 years and n=377 >80 years old) were characterized by a longer diabetes duration (27.7 vs. 7.7 years), an almost double risk for severe hypoglycaemia (40.1 vs. 24.3/100 patient-years), a lower level of HbA(1c) [60 vs. 67 mmol/mol (7.6 vs. 8.3%)] and higher percentages of microalbuminuria (34.5 vs. 15.6%), diabetic retinopathy (45.2 vs. 8.3%), myocardial infarction (9.0 vs. 0.4%) or stroke (6.8 vs. 0.3%). Elderly patients used insulin pumps less frequently (12.2 vs. 23.8%), but more often used conventional premixed insulin treatment (10.8 vs. 3.8%). Differences between elderly and younger patient groups were significant, respectively. Diabetes care of elderly patients with Type 1 diabetes involves individualized treatment concepts. Increased hypoglycaemia risk and functional impairment attributable to diabetes-associated and/or age-related disorders must be taken into account.
