Factually we're already there. I've reviewed my own HIPAA-sensitive lab results in a patient portal for example. I'd go check out some of the solutions Epic Systems has put out if you're interested in current product off

In the US we have a society where people walk around wearing suffering like a badge of honor. We worship work. I was brought up in a Midwest culture where "work ethic" was everything - if you worked hard enough, you would be succe

Anecdotally, the "II. Overcoming Student Misconceptions" section really rang true to how I've experienced working with highly academic engineers - ie: wanting to put blinders on only working on their component, late is assume

Just got the order in for the Seeed Studio board. I'm sure I have a good wait time with shipping but looking forward to replacing some Ubiquiti gear after their drama. Thanks for the reply as it totally inspired me to build my own rout

Super interested in what boards you are using and/or if they're custom! Would love to have a Pi 4 based home router with the 2nd NIC on the PCIe bus.

For me, I see an open source project that probably has limited resources/time/volunteer effort to support it. I read that comment as, "rip huge chunks of Bootstrap and jQuery out of it - should be quick"... well I am gue

Second this - it's an incredible resource and I have seen many people go through this book go from zero to competent. My old private art instructor 100% openly admitted to her classes being heavily influenced by the book to the point

I've been running Svelte with esbuild and it's incredible, and doesn't bring along all of the above overhead. I get to target modern browser stacks which is a huge plus that keeps a large amount of complexity out of my tool

Yep. And that's better for both parties involved. Just don't be offended when I turn you away at the door to not waste either of our time.

I'm slightly more conservative - I've had people show up in t-shirt and jeans and have turned them away because I feel like they're breaking the social contract of what an interview is. Like - totally clean/non-offensive

Just throwing this out there - any highly regulated and/or political entity has the bottom-dollar solution for tech/IT. Got out of the education software sector because of it myself. The problem is that it takes real budgets and e

Putting my # and email address on a blacklist in their CRM shouldn't be too difficult for a company with resources such as FB. If two-bit recruiting agencies can do it in the middle-of-nowhere Iowa then FB can do it. Sorry, not changin

Sure, but it's still not enough. FB recruiters are super aggressive and I have zero qualms unloading on them for their BS behavior, every. time. I've asked five (5!) times to be taken off their list and added to a blacklist for ca
