That makes a ton of sense. I almost always forget that there is an audience -- and that the audience, because they aren't in participant mode might well be less in their chosen position. Thanks! [ It still baffles me why people would t

Medicare negotiates a MFN clause, so they are - out of the gate - at the lowest rate any clinic ever charges, with no eye towards profitability. Because it's well known in healthcare economics (or at least finance/administration)

Gotcha. That makes sense. Thank you. > It's common to provide the year of publication if it isn't current as some additional metadata. I haven't seen that elsewhere (on other sites), except in posting bibliographies, and w

Really? Why? EDIT: I see this terse comment (or rather, a comment with the form of) often, but since the articles are often javascript framework related, I just assume it's because that world keeps shifting. But, here, not so much. I d

The soil here (in much of the state) is fairly good, but the growing season is pathetically short. Assuming you're on the plains and get a full day of sun. (If not, it's even shorter). But, on the plains, then you've got more

The phone apps work, but they are react-application web views. At least on Android. I saw that they had an open hiring req for a React Native person recently, so I suspect that is about to change.

Disposing of the property of a company requires management, then board, then shareholder consent. According to provisions set out in a company's bylaws or operating agreement. Or maybe a court order in a bankruptcy proceeding. Think of

I have - although POSIX covered a fair number of them and POSIX-ish or pretend-to-be-POSIX made up some more. That could all usually be covered with a pretty thin utility layer, and the compiler-of-the-day for whatever the platform was. (an

I like Ada. It's nice. It's actually beyond nice. I don't like working at/for the places that use it. Just in terms of "I'm used to it, and it (mostly) works everywhere I want it to be", C89 + your UTF-han

It doesn't seem that anyone is saying that we need to get rid of the (admittedly valuable and proven) peer-review model of publishing in journals. Or that this is uniformly better for all use-cases, esp. those that peer-review excels a

So... Ada is better, and anyone could use it where they use C - and in fact could use it to generate C. But nobody does. Is that your point?

Sort of, yeah. It strikes me as an inflexible IDL that had out-of-wedlock children with an incompletely specified ASN.1. That said - they're working with JSON/HTTP "REST-like", so there's only so much anyone could d

Don't get me wrong. The consensus attainment rituals/processes I found there (Japan, mid-80s~mid-90s) were mind-numbingly slow/tedious/inefficient. But, in companies that manufactured products intended to compete in the

I've noticed here, in the US, that technical staff will sometimes (often?) feel attacked or challenged by simply asking the question: "Why". It's an important information-seeking question! But, for some reason, in many g
