mounjaro day 11

2025-08-25T14:37:00.001+03:00

I am doing 48 hour fast so far so good, one thing I realized mounjaro slow down my digestion a lot, thats why I do these fast, it's not like I am pushing myself, although I feel the hunger, so far I lost only 5kg, which may look big but basically 105 to 100 is not big for me, I was 85kg 4 years ago, my target is there in 6 months .

mounjaro day 6

2025-08-20T08:45:00.002+03:00

I haven't eaten around 67 hours and I am feeling pretty good, like I said after 48 hours I started another 48 hours of fast and come this far, I am hungry but I am holding.

the hunger comes and goes, I used to eat after this much hunger and I am above 100kg, I really don't need food my BMI is 35 meaning severe obese.

today I will break my fast at lunch and then go for 90 hours fast, also I had a headache yesterday, so I drank some tomato juice to get some sodium. I am drinking 3 liters of water everyday. hunger comes and goes every day but I don't start eating, and this is happening on mounjaro 2.5mg

mounjaro day 3

2025-08-18T09:12:00.001+03:00

I went for 10k walks in the weekend and did not have any energy problem, did not eat on 16 Aug then I ate in Sunday 17 Aug.

- Rice + Kale + Yogurt then cake

I ate a lot but I did not really was that hungry, I was thinking to clean the fridge. cake was about to expire too. After heavy meal felt sleepy as usual. Next time I should avoid too much cake.

I am writing this in 18 Aug Monday morning, I have no hunger. I think I can keep fasting until Friday or Wednesday. let`s see

mounjaro diary day 1

2025-08-16T06:05:00.002+03:00

I took the first jab in August 15 around 10:30 in the morning.

no pain or nausea or dry mouth, I have been intermittent fasting since 2017 , so I am familiar with hunger and I wanted to do longer fasts, so since jab I haven't eaten, and I am hungry, I am not sure if mounjaro helped or not but 109 £ helped me to not to eat , I will try to make 48 hours fast, so my target is Sunday 17 August lunch.

I did 48 hours fast before it's not easy , hopefully I will keep it, I am writing this in the Saturday morning

sony xperia 10 VI did not like the case

2024-10-14T23:45:00.005+03:00

After iphone 16 I wanted to test an android and looks like sony xperia 10 VI is nice, which is 6.1 inches, but it was narrow and longer than expected, I went back to my google pixel 5, probably I will wait for smaller and thinner phones longer, I do not want to use big phones

Asus zenfone looks nice but also too expensive for a phone from 2023

apple iphone 16 return in UK Glasgow

2024-10-05T14:03:00.009+03:00

After I saw that WhatsApp desktop is not working(I tried 2 different laptops, uninstalled or resetting the app but did not work) and uBlock Origin is not compatible on iPhone Firefox I decided to return the phone, I looked for starting return online, but it is not available, then I needed to call the support, then a bot talked to me and asked me if I want the SMS with link for return, I said yes, and it sends the orders page link 😊

then I said connect me to a real person, that person asked me what is the problem I said software is not as good as I wanted she said, but you did not have the introduction lessons, I said I used iPhone before (around 12 years ago in 2012 I used iPhone like a year) then she said okay, anyway she started the return process, I am surprised it is not as easy as Amazon, I thought it would be, but no apple is hard to return, anyway she said tomorrow (Sunday - I do not believe this) there will be someone to pick up the phone and return 🤞

took like 10 minutes to compile in my machine. Downloaded from https://riverbankcomputing.com/software/qscintilla/download I am surprised in year of 2024 CPP does not have maven repo like structure. compiling the code is soo old now :)

how to show a dialog box in wix

2024-05-07T23:29:00.001+03:00

Sometime we may want to show a dialog box to user from installation package, below is an example

<CustomAction Id="ConfirmAndCleanUpOldFolder"
              Script="vbscript"
              Execute="immediate">
  <![CDATA[
    On Error Resume Next
    Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
    strProgramData = WshShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%ProgramData%")
    strFolderPath = strProgramData & "\sompath\"
    Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
    If Session.Property("UILevel") = 4 And fso.FolderExists(strFolderPath) Then
      result = MsgBox("An older version of the data folder exists, which is no longer necessary for the application's operation. Would you like to remove it now ? " & strFolderPath, vbYesNo + vbSystemModal, "Clean up redundant files")
      If result = vbYes Then
        fso.DeleteFolder strFolderPath, True
        If Err.Number <> 0 Then
          MsgBox "Failed to delete folder: " & Err.Description
        Else
          Session.Property("OLD_FOLDER_CLEANED") = "yes"
        End If
      End If
    End If
    On Error GoTo 0
  ]]>
</CustomAction>

and put

<InstallExecuteSequence>
  <Custom Action="ConfirmAndCleanUpOldFolder" After="InstallInitialize" />

finally I have seen https://github.com/imartinez/privateGPT working in my local computer, it is kind of a search engine for documents, I was looking for more conversation level bot which can learn from the conversation and start answering accordingly, why am I searching for this, it is about our jira`s, there are some repeatitive tickets, if I can teach a bot to realize those and solutions, it can answer users directly or can tell me which doc to answer. not bad privateGPT

solving hackerrank Queries with Fixed Length

2023-04-16T16:24:00.001+03:00

first solution is

public static List<Integer> solve(List<Integer> arr, List<Integer> queries) {
    List result = new ArrayList();
    queries.forEach(k -> {
        List<List<Integer>> partitionedList = new ArrayList<>();
        for (int s = 0; s <= arr.size() - k; s++) {
            partitionedList.add(arr.subList(s, s+k));
        }
        List<Integer> maxes = partitionedList.stream().map(m -> Collections.max(m)).collect(toList());
        result.add(Collections.min(maxes));
    });
    return result;
}

which is working fine but some is getting timeouts

now optimizations.
