Maybe 90 percent of medicine dispensing is without issue and you fall into that category. The other 10 percent is where a pharmacist comes in. That being said, I don't need a pharmacist to review my 4 decade long prescription for inha

That's so simple it's coded into all prescribing systems and even written in paper prescribing manuals. The issue is that while some interactions are harmful, many are harmless and some even beneficial, but knowing the context th

I share your worries and believe that Russia will use nukes in Ukraine, safe in the knowledge that like for like retaliation by the west is impossible. Comments advising you to not worry, or use your phone less, or stating that someone in

Hey boss, do you know that Jim is leaving? The backend dev, yeah him. I know, it'll be a devil to backfill his role. If only we had some sort resilience built in to allow us to bring in more team members to cover situations like this.

Controversial opinion incoming ... The people who should use UML are too lazy to learn it and instead draw weak abstractions in PowerPoint or C4. Those people are business analysts/requirement engineers/product owners. The true

Isn't it the case that race is acceptably mutable if it isn't germain to the story and that making all audiences feel more accepted and therefore happier is a laudable goal. Nothing woke about greater non white representation. Ple

Charging is a fact of life for a lot of things, latency is not an issue for the better Bluetooth devices, the brand I mentioned has a good rep in this respect, bidirectional audio quality has been an issue IMHO so I use different headsets f

You don't think that showing laughing acceptance of predatory behaviour normalises that behaviour instead of shaming it? (Apologies for going all Reddit ...)

It automates your desktop with a mini programming language that can be used to build desktop apps; but it's the text expansion capabilities that are highly prized, working across all desktop and web apps and saving you 100s of hours of

I mean there are going to be a lot of creative approaches to something ubiquitous, I agree. But even IRC you can create your own channel and invite people to it. Slack is slicker, but the whole use case is still dramatically underserved.

I used something on my Psion for many years, then Quicken for a long time, Gnucash and now a much simpler budget driven Excel workbook. Probably looking at Sqlite and Datasette next but tbh the simpler the better.
