I don't know, I understand the advice and I guess that's probably one of the reasons Loop (https://loopkit.github.io/loopdocs/) is not on the App Store. If they had turned their project into another data-logging platform we wouldn't have commercial closed loop systems.
It does, mostly because Europe is not a country. In Spain you can't drive until you're 18 and they'll take your license away if you're found to blame, even though not forever.
There are a few variants on how to do a closed loop system. OpenAPS is phone agnostic and everything runs on a RaspberryPi.
I myself use Loop. It's an iOS app that uses a RF-to-BT bridge to talk with the pump and intercepts the CGM reading from the official Dexcom app (there are forks that support different methods, being the Dexcom source the "official" one). The bridge is the size of a 9V battery, I never stopped to see which processor uses but it's probably 8 bit.
Each system support different pumps, sometimes people want to use one but are stuck with a different one to be able to use their pumps.
What ISF does your kid have that a single unit will kill him/her? A single unit is barely noticeable on the graph for me.
I've been using Loop for a few weeks now and the improvements in quality of life are so huge that any concerns I had about safety went away. Reading the docs, which are a great example on how documentation should be written, helped a lot with that too.
I've tried to like Fusion 360, but the login screen the first time you boot it up turns me off. It's also slow as hell on a top of the line iMac, and that's with very small projects.
I like OpenSCAD a lot, but being productive there outside of very simple (squarish) designs is hard.
That's countersteering [1]. I find it very hard to explain but it's something that most people on a bicycle (at speed) or a motorcycle (again, at speed) do naturally.
Since there doesn't exist a good panel without Smart TV capabilities, what I do is just don't give them access to the network. Everything runs through an Android Box connected to an HDMI or a PS4 when I want to use Netflix (I never managed to make it work on the Android box)
I wonder why glucagon isn't done in the same format as EpiPens are. I'm a T1 diabetic and I have one glucagon vial at work and one at home. In the case I go low (barely responsive low) someone has to go grab it from the fridge (it needs to be there) load the syringe and use it on me.
When people sleep over I teach them how to use it and I do something like a show and tell at job from time to time so new people know about it.
I bought a new (to me) motorcycle last week. It's a 2008 and it has loads of electronics (compared to my old bike). One of them is an immobiliser that deactivates when it detects a transponder inside the key.
The motorcycle comes with three keys: a red one and two black ones. The black ones will turn on the motorcycle but can't be copied. The red one can be copied and is intended as backup in case you lose the black ones. If you lose three the only way to turn the motorcycle on is to get a new ECU from the manufacturer.
Solr and Cordova are on different realms, I don't see how that's relevant in this discussion. FWIW I've used Solr a lot and it's great for faceting and geometric search.
Bandwidth have been going down for years. I don't think they release numbers but the community in imgur is pretty active. There's a lot of people browsing imgur directly (they have a voting system, comments...) and know nothing about reddit.
They have a lot of direct traffic to compensate for the cheap hotlinking.
