Medical practice management software. (we run the medical practices as well) If we made software that was accessible to the general public I would hesitate to only use CSS grid.

As someone who recently converted to using CSS grid for my company, I can't imagine going back. It really reduces the mental overhead when building complex layouts and has made my code shorter and easier to understand.

I would highly consider moving to CSS grid for new projects. It landed in most major browsers about a year ago[0] and is a joy to use. Having a proper layout system built into the browser removes the need for a lot of the features of these

Illinois is bankrupt, and the worst thing that you can do when you are bankrupt is pretend that you aren't. If I were a resident of the state I would strongly consider moving somewhere else as your taxes are going to explode, and servi

I'm still surprised that no one has proposed a protocol to replace Facebook / Twitter. If a real time RSS system existed then both of those companies don't really need to exist. In fact, I think you could mock up a service ju

Technically yes, but it is interesting that "|>" seems to be the syntax that is being adopted amongst multiple languages.

They seem to have been added around the same time. Another comment on the parent attributes it to F#, which based on a quick googling precedes both OCaml and Elixir. It wouldn't surprise me if the operator preceded that either, but I d

Glad to see that Elixir's pipe operator is beginning to spread to other languages!

As an employee and a founder of a company his viewpoint seems to go against what has made the most effective teams I've worked with. You should focus on outputs not inputs when working. If someone can do the work of someone else with a

Congrats on shipping the new version! While I don't use it currently, Bootstrap helped me go from 0 design skills to build non-awful user interfaces. It's hard to overstate the impact they have had on making the web a better place

It completely depends on what you are building. Are you building a game, telecom service, web application, firmware for a medical device, or a rocket ship. Software is present in almost every single industry and what you are building should

I remember seeing a bumper sticker in silicon valley that said "Please Lord give me just one more bubble". It looks like their prayers have been answered with cryptocurrencies.

Even if they can, anyone who understands Bayes' theorem will tell you that the false positive rate would be way too high for this to be used in real life.

As someone who has made an EMR and has used OpenEMR there are a few reasons why there hasn't been a fully implemented open source solution in this space. 1.) Hospitals are fairly risk averse organizations. Instead of spending resources

I too have a degree in both Math and Economics. I started a medical clinic with the goal of reducing the cost of healthcare in the US by 50%. Our patients' out of pocket expenses for primary care are less than a typical cell phone bill

Yep, it is appalling that these laws are still on the books in so many states. For those who live in CON states you should expect your healthcare bills to be about 10% higher with no increase in quality of care due to monopoly pricing. The

There is an RSpec clone called ESpec https://github.com/antonmi/espec . I've used it in my own applications, however I would probably not recommend using it as it relies on a feature of the language (tuple modules)

Reduce health care spending in the US by 50% without decreasing quality of life or life expectancy. Started a company that is trying to achieve those goals.

Why would you ever want to trade accuracy for speed?

by pg_bot 9y ago
Yes. The computer should never do something that I haven't explicitly told it to do. You can design the same exact feature but I need to trigger it, the machine should not be making decisions for me.

It is often the case that I type faster than the UI can respond. So if I am tabbing through form fields and the last one changes everything above the viewport without me noticing it's an easy mistake to make. I usually won't doubl

I should clarify predicting what I am about to do is fine, but correcting what I've done is wrong. As long as I maintain control it's ok.

This is one of the reasons why I turn off all auto-* features in software that I use. From a UX perspective I want the program to do exactly as I command instead of trying to "help" me out. I've had problems like chrome autof

IMO poor structure of a codebase is a sign that there is a culture problem. You acknowledge that there is an issue but have dedicated no resources to solve it. The way to fix sloppiness is to break your bad habits for new code, and then fix
