There was a lot of interest last time on this topic in a previous hacker news discussion [1] so posting this article by my wife (the parathyroid surgeon) here. If you have any questions feel free to post them here and she will check in. [1]

She was thinking about writing a blog post on Vitamin D already and she says she will it in the next few days and I'll post it here when she does. She is not talking about patients with pre-existing hyperparathyroidism - they often thi

I've mentioned this before, but my wife is a parathyroid surgeon (parathyroids are the glands that regulate the calcium in your neck) and would beg you to PLEASE monitor your calcium levels if you are supplementing with Vitamin D. She

What was your experience though when interviewing?

I find it incredibly depressing that the current state of interviews for many companies is still a bunch of algorithm problems that test how much time you've spent grinding through leetcode. Like many other things we've optimize

I used dynamically generated awk scripts a few years ago to take some delimited text files that were several hundred gigabytes and pre-process them for faster loading to a DB. It sped up the whole process a huge amount - I don’t remember ex

I disagree. Do you remember the days when J2EE was the hot stuff? Popularity comes and goes and is not necessarily correlated with whether something is a good idea or not. Over the last 15-20 years or so as a web development shop we've

Er, I read through the article and I'd agree with Snopes on this one. They present a pretty good argument. If you change the claim to 5/6 it becomes technically correct (the best kind of correct!), but the nuance that Snopes prese

I find your argument a bit cynical at best - this is a very black or white way of viewing two very large sites. Having read through Wikipedia decisions they are often open about the process, and the decisions can be very nuanced, they'

It wasn't until I read a comment here that there was a wiki that I found most of your documentation. I'd link this higher in your README as it is what I was looking for when I went to the project (lots of examples): https:/&

Started a new project with Rails 6.0.0.rc2 the other day. Great experience, up and running quickly and enjoyed all the new little touches (object allocations in the logs is great). The multi database[1] thing is also great to have built in

They fail because of severe checklist fatigue according to my wife (a surgeon). Checklists are great - so let's do them for everything, ALL the time. People start to tune them out because they do the same checklist hundreds and hundred

I like it too, except that my (bronze level in the marketplace) high deductible plan is ~$1300 a month for my family, that is not sustainable. A recent ER visit with 1 night stay cost us about 8k out of pocket, the family deductible for the

I agree with the overall sentiment. After having worked on backbone, then angular and now react/vue apps I find that we often spend more time figuring out how to do things and futzing with the configuration and tests than we spend actu

Very nice. I usually find that the features in new versions of Rails are solving 'real' problems - issues that I have in daily development and have been solving separately with Gems, or custom code. In this case I have usually bee
