I can't imagine this taking strong hold in the US unless it shields physicians from legal consequences of false negatives or produces enough false positives to ensure revenue doesn't fall. I don't see any way that the hospita

But you're not having cancer checked out, you're having a "spot" or a "nodule" or something checked out. And the person that's making the recommendation on whether or not to check it out may get sued for $

I'd argue that malpractice risk has at least as much negative influence on a physicians judgment. It's perceived as much less (medico-legally) risky to "do something" (or more often "refer the patient to someone els

Not to mention the malpractice risk and potential for extra income, which -- depending on where you live -- may strongly (if subconsciously) influence your physicians interpretations and recommendations. Do you think a doctor is more likely

Agreed! But I have to say, lane centering and adaptive cruise control have been amazing, coming from a previous vehicle with neither.

Amazing. A few nerdy med students and I started a student group for tech back in 2009 or so, a big part early on was preaching Mnemosyne (another SRS app), with shared decks syncing over a free Dropbox account. Later used Repetitions (iOS &

Yes, I have several esphome devices. Very easy to use. Unfortunately the project is not written in a language that I know, and I strongly prefer projects in languages that are familiar to me.

I never learned any C based languages, so it's been a challenge, but I've enjoyed learning the basics of bare-metal no_std rust on the esp32c3, with esp-rs and its support for embassy to help me get started! My learning project --

I don't believe so. But the esp32c3 is dirt cheap and runs embassy projects well!

Tried to migrate to Hugo from Jekyll multiple times and have bounced off every time. Don't really know Go very well, but better than Ruby, and used this as justification -- since dealing with Jekyll updates was sometimes a headache (I

After a decade of homebrew, a few years ago I got tired of their very grumpy maintainers and switched to nix-darwin + home-manager. I've been overall fairly happy, and for tinkerers would recommend giving it a shot. Admittedly I bounce

I installed on macos14? Maybe 13? And have had minimal trouble since. Comparable to the amount of breakage I regularly had with homebrew.

Thanks. Was wondering if this was about my federal thrift savings plan.

Yes, the possibility of severe and prolonged headaches are part of my consent for this procedure. That said, I'm usually only performing the procedure to help exclude (or confirm) a medical condition with risk of permanent disability o

Love that you had a good experience. I perform these procedures semi-regularly, and in some cases they can be painful (even with lidocaine). Most people tolerate them very well though, I usually compare it to the pain of an IV stick, which

Use Time Machine over SMB to a ZFS-backed drive. Works great, even remotely. See my longer comment elsewhere in this thread.

by n8henrie 11mo ago
For the last several years I've very happily used it over SMB to ZFS (with autosnaps) for this very reason, and wrote an AppleScript to automatically "verify" it every week or so. Once or twice a year it gives a verify error

To cocaine? By "lose a kid" I assume you mean death and not some euphemism for addiction.

I really wish Guix worked on macOS. Nix-Darwin and home-manager have been game changers -- sharing much config and tooling between my Mac, arch, and nixos machines has been a blessing.

I do a ton of work on low-power devices over SSH. Helix launches almost instantly; neovim with a similar level of functionality (via plugins) has considerably more startup lag and considerably more maintenance cost (config / plugin upd

My most recent septic patient had literally zero SIRS criteria, and I strongly did not suspect a bacterial source of infection. Isolated hypotension, nothing else. Said she felt great and asked to go home To date she's grown out GPCs

As an ER doc I look at a lot of my own studies, because I'm often using my interpretation to guide real-time management (making decisions that can't wait for a radiologist). I've gotten much better over time, and I would sp

Can you clarify -- if you're comfortable sharing additional details -- did you have an "occlusion MI" heart attack, involving balloons / stents in the cath lab? Most people assume that "heart attack" is a disti

There are still things in (neo)vim that I miss, even a year or so later (particularly persistent undo files), but helix's startup time is so much faster (and LSP integration so good), I hardly use anything else.

Nix is the escape hatch! More packages than any other package manager you're likely to encounter. If something isn't packaged for nix, it's often simple to package yourself. Even when this isn't simple, it's often

These were tests done on carcasses, not on captured strays -- see also my parent comment. Rabies kills in short order.

Very naive take. Patients' children regularly override the patient's clearly expressed wishes once the patient no longer has decisional capacity.
