Getting somewhat far afield of the OP, but in healthcare, the bigger trend seems to be a move from HL7v2 past the dumpster fire that was XML-based HL7v3 to JSON-based FHIR.

CitusDB is an option for scaling out PostgreSQL workloads, but it's not a direct equivalent to Aurora. That's both good and bad in different ways. E.g., it's good that CitusDB is not a fork of PostgreSQL as Aurora is a fork o

The value of studying more advanced mathematics is not tied strictly to what will be used on a day-to-day basis in one's job. I studied math well beyond what I use in my day-to-day work as a software engineer, but I've found it va

Lots of my peers in their late 30s and early or mid 40s who have decided they now want kids are spending 5-figure sums on fertility procedures such as IVF, etc. Also, there's a substantial increase in the probability of birth defects w

That statement makes sense given that there's really never a convenient time to have kids or a point in time at which they will become less expensive. If having kids is a priority for you, it's better to start earlier rather than

Same here. No decrease in performance during fasts and I push myself pretty hard on both cardio and weights. If anything, I feel a little bit better since I tend to be a little more alert and focused during fasts.

It's sad to see the demise of grand old elm trees due to Dutch Elm disease as those trees take decades to reach maturity, can't be easily replaced, and their replacements are generally also susceptible to the disease. Oak wilt dis

This is the sweet spot of ORMs. A team lead early in my career wrote a tool that read the database schema and generated all the marshaling code at the application layer. We got a degree of type safety and relief from a lot of boilerplate co

It's overly reductive to consider any code that interacts with a database an ORM. Broadly speaking, the big claims ORMs have made are 1) the ability to automatically map between an object model and a relational data model and 2) portab

I have an even cheaper Xeon setup that's based on the older LGA1366 socket and off-lease workstation-class machines such as the Dell Precision T5500 or HP Z600. Those processors can be had for dirt cheap -- I got a matched pair of X566
