In my experience (not the views of my employer) the most important stakeholder for an EHR is the ONC (federal government). Design-by-committee requirements with the happy coincidence of making it almost impossible to innovate or disrupt the

Do you think that was driven by the code cache repeatedly filling and flushing? And bumping the size resolved it because it wasn't filling anymore? Did you experiment with disabling flushing? My team is scaling up a Java service and we

I went through this for years and was always felt so discouraged and guilty. I didn't have the repertoire or financial pressure to use the "leftovers". It changed completely for me when I decided to stop buying cuts like pack

This is actually a great comparison, and we can look at the proliferation of anti-witchcraft propaganda leading to the brutal murders of thousands of women and queer people for a prototypical example of the very real damage caused by disinf

The tech industry is like the Wild West- you can do (almost) anything you want! It's big enough that there will always be opportunities in our lifetime for tech workers to make money positively contributing to society. On the other han

And those fees have been infamously exploited to functionally deny access to material or financially harm the requester. Perfectly illustrating why charging fees for these things is such a bad idea.

I want to make this distinction because I don't think it's obvious to a lot of people reading. You're not talking about leaving the newcomers to fend for themselves because you want to "feel the burn". You're t

I guess I shouldn't have said that without checking, I'm not sure who's on top. My point still stands though. Most dev shops are already operating on the JVM, trying out akka was a much easier sell than adopting BEAM. Whether

We need to plant trees to "ride the wave" of climate change by mitigating ecological collapse and desertification. Carbon sequestration is just gravy; from the estimates I've seen the time scale is, IMO, beyond the scope of o

And for those that die, something else will grow. I found myself thinking "they're literally missing the forest for the trees".

Man, this is so disappointing. Sure, there are probably businesses out there whose entire livelihood is built on akka, and I get that the creators might be upset that they're not contributing to the project. But there are a lot of othe

It's a nice quote, but I really disagree with this section. Yes, software development is more concrete than computer science, but abstraction is so, so important. The author acknowledges the value of simplicity, but simple code is only
