They really are comically bad (Cerner, Epic, Meditech, all of them), but they are effective data silos which is a step up from having that data silo'ed in filing cabinets. People outside healthcare really don't understand the shee

I agree. This article is off the mark. On the contrary, doctors want tools that will assist them in providing better patient care outcomes. In all my career, I've never met an anesthesiologist, trauma surgeon nor a hospitalist who ha

I don't really see how this is newsworthy... I've been purchasing virtualization and cloud services from a variety of smaller providers for years -- without fail, all of them are more than happy to provision custom images. My curr

I hope so, but I think it's unlikely. The Node.js Foundation isn't in the business of supporting open source contributions to existing projects.

Yep, that's true. However, JavaScript does it right out of the box and the JavaScript ecosystem is very well-aligned for async. One of the most significant reasons to use a language like Node for server-side async programming is that f

It's a combination of both. The event loop and non-blocking I/O are inherent in JavaScript. The language lends itself very well to scalable server-side programming.

I'm no expert on the history, but I believe JS Foundation was the re-launch/re-brand of the merging of the jQuery and Dojo Foundation.

I'm not really happy to hear about this. To me, it demonstrates that the JS Foundation continues to focus on the wrong priorities. They've thoroughly neglected their stewardship responsibilities for a number of different open sour

Holy moly! My browser has been loading that page for the past 2 minutes. Over 100 separate HTTP requests, nearly 15MB of data downloaded thus far and several dozen entries logged to the console.

I could see this being used in a "pre-fetch" manner for single-page applications. For example, preparing and rendering the next page or component before the user has opened it. So when the user does click to open the next page or

Unfortunately, IE11 is still quite prevalent in large enterprise organization with IT departments that control which browsers are installed on desktops across the org. There's a lot of bureaucracy and legacy apps to contend with before
