   I think it goes without saying that not improving after administering a treatment for the purpose of improving a condition is a red flag.

   For others looking for the medically pertinent details, from what I can tell the most consequential mistakes (at least the ones being emphasized in the article) were: - failure to use a sepsis severity scoring system to determine need for h

   What in the world are you talking about? I'm a physician that uses ultrasound every shift, and I'm pretty darn good at it. I've even used one of the specific devices you linked to. Virtually every physician I know is foaming

   Thanks for sharing -- it's a little short on details though! Is there somewhere that you share what interventions you implemented when? And did you establish a baseline first? I ask because if your initial level were omitted as a singl

   Do you provide any context on the normally expected day-to-day variability in CRP levels? I imagine that getting spot checks once a month would require a few years (or perhaps decades) if data before signal could be reliability differentiat

   I try to follow these ideas, and in many of my notebooks I frequently test them by occasionally running "restart kernel and run all cells" from the menu, which tends to point out anything I've accidentally moved or run out of

   I'm a big fan of espanso! I use it on my MacBook, my Linux desktop, and on Windows at work. Works very well on all three. I use many plain / dumb snippets, a few forms and date-based ones, and a few shell and Powershell scripts. I

   There any studies looking for differences in outcomes between patients cared for by physicians and those cared for by other highly intelligent, capable humans with fewer years of specialized training in healthcare. It might be interesting t

    If you're referring to HN specifically, I fully agree. I've thought about starting an "ask HN" about it, but I figured I would get downvoted to oblivion.

    We are working on revamping Quicksilver after a period of relative dormancy; I'm new to the project, but a long-time user. We've made several releases over the last few months -- some new features I'm excited for include sup

    I'll have to look at the strategy you took. Thanks for the article! I now also remember the mention of Mnemosyne, which was the first SRS app I ever used (got me through medical school!). Now using RepetitionsApp x years.

    That's the one, thank you so much! Skimming it quickly, I now remember the Haskell. Funny to have forgotten how to find an article on a memorization technique.

    Not to detract, but there was an article on SRS that I think I came across on HN about 2-3 months ago (though I guess may have been Reddit); I've been struggling to find it for the last month or so. It was a fairly long article, prob

    The only thing I'm really missing is the ability to share notes with my wife. For this I've put together a really hacky script that looks for presence or absence of `#shared` and moves the note to or from a subfolder. It works oka

    I think Notational Velocity (MacOS) still supports syncing with SimpleNote while keeping notes as separate files locally (though I've not used it with Simplenote in several years and could be wrong, switched to a hacked together SyncT

    There seems to be a lot of people in this thread conflating "feeling" hot with having an elevated metabolic rate, but I think these will be at best coincidentally concordant. Anecdote vs anecdote, my wife is always cold, but she&#
