Security concerns with this particular project aside, my dev machine does indeed have 8 GB of RAM, which Slack alone readily consumes 1/8th of whilst also using 15% of my total CPU power at rest, doing nothing at all. There is no exc

Sounds like a neat study - would you be willing to share your write-up?

Thanks for this - I'll try it out, I hadn't realised you could have one app on multiple virtual desktops!

I've often pondered this myself. Windows has traditionally been a Window/document-centric OS where the primary object of interaction is a window (e.g. alt-tab would swap between individual Windows). macOS has traditionally been an

In the UK, under the NHS, summary data regarding a surgeons performance is published [1]. There is an interesting debate about whether this is a good thing or not. One argument is that it improves transparency and allows patients to make a

Additionally, trying to elicit the information you need to make a diagnosis is much harder than non-clinicians realise. Present a series of yes no questions doesn't really capture all of the information that is required; I suspect this

As an electronic engineering student, our exams were negatively marked. If you got an answer wrong you incurred (-0.25 * $availablePoints). If you didn't answer the question you scored 0. We despised this at the time.. Now a medical st

Cappuccino [1] is a port of Objective-C to Objective-J (plus transpiler to JS) combined with a port of the Cocoa Frameworks for building client side "desktop class" web apps. You can use interface builder in XCode to layout your U

Humans have a "tumour suppressor gene" called p53 which helps reduce the occurrence of cancers. Elephants (not quite whale size, but still pretty big!) have been shown to simultaneously express 20 variants of p53 which is thought

I quit my job as a software developer to study medicine. Although I still work as a developer for a medical education startup to pay the bills... perhaps there is no escape ;)

I don't think this can be the whole story. Normally when a kidney is transplanted into a patient, the defective kidneys are not removed (adds unnecessary risk). There is plenty of space to add a kidney without removing the spleen so th

This reasoning is essentially "it's easier for us". I have to use slack for work and it is extraordinarily frustrating to have to use such a ridiculously slow and resource intensive application for sending text messages in 2

Somewhat off-topic but can anyone point me to any resources that explain the hardware architecture differences between x86 CPUS and the old LISP-machines? Was there hardware level support for s-expression evaluation?

Depends where she was studying as well. I'm in the UK and my elec engineering masters was £4k. They've since hiked the fees for higher education and my medical degree is ~£36k. Still, that's 9 years of education for 1 years o

Oh that's really interesting! I went to school in the UK and they just divided it into numbered sets e.g Set 1 (top set) to Set 6 (bottom set). The US naming is an interesting affirmation of the child's difference from their peers
