Very much this for me. It was so bad a couple of years back that I seriously considered writing a browser extension to hide and/or highlight medium posts so I would stop accidentally clicking on them. The site has been better more rece

Every time I see an article about scientists using sound waves to map a 3d image of something - around a wall, or just in general - I think of these tapers and how there's numerous tapes of one concert from different angles. I know tha

The article's list of technologies, at first glance, seems like it has examples from different technologies. But they are all really the latest pieces of the same line of technology: Personal Computing/Internet. The author (and I&

I am seeing a parallel here to the article posted yesterday about how everything is measured by engagement: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32765002 As a product, I would think that you would survive by finding a niche

Yes they did! But if you were learning - you could drag and drop and then see what tags were created. And when you realized that what it was creating was awful, that meant that you finally understood HTML!

It once again comes down to the fact that we are the product, not the customer. In this article, Devin Booker is the customer. Also, after reading many comments with suggestions and hacks to work around this (which I also do, btw), I think

I work on two major projects - one is written in vuejs (with a .NET Core backend) and the other is on top of a .NET CMS Solution (not going to name names). In the .NET CMS Solution, when I make a code change (view changes are easier), if th

I've always wondered why they don't hire an assistant that JUST does the paperwork/coding for the doctor. They could follow them into room and just take notes (and leave at times when it is appropriate). How much could it cos

My wife is a PA - here are a few things we've (anecdotally) noticed: 1. A few doctors left practices after they got taken over by a bigger entity and the hoops they had to jump trough weren't worth it, so they retired. 2. The insu

Most of the day to day of the news reel is basically Reality TV. Firstly, the Cable news stations (CNN, Fox News) aren't news programs - despite the name - they are talk shows. It's Maury for politics. The broadcast news, that&#x2
