For those following along, it went great!

The procedure itself was as comfortable as they could make it, you know, for cutting a flap in your eye and blasting part of it away.

This morning I went in for followup and have 20/15 vision. A mild amount of blood under one flap which will dissipate within a week.

So far, only mild discomfort after the initial healing yesterday, which was pretty irritating. Now, it just feels like there's an eyelash that won't go away. I have to keep reminding myself that I can't adjust my contact lenses any more.

There is some staring I noticed looking at the clock display in a dark room, but nothing worse than the old pair of glasses I was wearing in the interim. But that's supposed to almost completely fade over 6 months.

I know that, "time will tell", but thus far, I'm very optimistic. I'd definitely recommend this doctor to anyone.

This is a bit disturbing of a headline to see, literally a couple hours before I'm scheduled for a Lasik procedure.

But after reading the article, I don't know how much weight there is to this. Seems to be a small sample and that report is heavily highlighting a couple negative items out of a largely happy pool of patients.

Was there any connection to the doctor or clinic? Did some clinics or equipment have a higher rate of complications? I'm getting mine performed at a well reviewed practice in San Jose.

This article isn't enough for me to cancel the procedure, but it was enough of a scare to put me on the edge for a second. Sensationalism? Maybe not quite, but it'd be great if these reports would work to remove their bias.

This is only a mildly disturbing headline to see, literally a couple hours before my Lasik procedure...

But from what I see in the article, the negative experiences are few and far between, not to mention, they don't seem to take into account variation between different clinics. Is there a connection in quality to the doctor or their practice? Is there some problem with a piece of equipment?

WPF (and the other UI technologies listed) still rely on a lot of the underlying Windows API. Now that they are open sourced though, someone outside MS can work on a port, though I imagine it will take a non-trivial amount of effort. The change here is that .Net Core now supports it, but only if you reference the appropriate SDK[1]

Oh hey! I know you guys! That's really cool to see stuff the Church is doing online to further technology growth and use. Way to go!

I'll definitely keep this in my pocket as we move towards our own live streaming platform. Thanks for sharing!

Seems odd to me that they crossed a camel and llama and expected a better temperament. I've never seen a camel, but llamas are some of the most vile tempered animals I've ever seen.

It's not like the TrafficAware Cruise Control is meant for completely autonomous driving. It's supposed to be a convenience. To not pay attention to the road, regardless of how good your cruise control is, is not just idiotic, it's life threatening.

Have they not mentioned, time and time again, that this is not an autonomous car? I have adaptive cruse control in my Mazda, automatic breaks, but they're not a replacement for paying attention to the road.

Correct. But look at who has a corner on the advertising. iPhones are still seen as another class above by many, if not most, people.

Edit: Forgot to say, that by comparison, Android/Windows/whatever smartphones are relatively unknown.

Ditto

Not to mention, all of the images take a hell of a lot longer time to load than text plus a font. I had a 16 second load time, granted my connection isn't the best. But she's not applying for a web designer/software position, so I guess we shouldn't be too hard on the site...
