This article seems to carp at the downsides of institutionalizing any movement (which are legion) without touching the other (to me obvious, and clearly deteriorating) downside features of the EA community, to someone solely an outside obse

In 2008 or 9, I had about 20 Eee 701s shipped to the international school I was the IT Director at in Central Asia to make a mobile computer lab, outfitted some Gorilla cases with power and foam, and had a pretty decent cheap expansion lab.

Conceptually, yes, it solves a small corner of them. I'm going to ballpark migrating from Epic to OpenEHR without losing data would probably cost you something around $500/patient. So consider a medium-sized hospital that has 250

FWIW, pretty sure duffpkg was involved in the creation of OpenEHR, and therefore probably has heard of it.

I wonder if there is going to be an issue with the structural integrity of the filters, since they are designed to rest on an object rather than hang? Wouldn't think it would be a big issue, but possibly? If you were wanting to do th

I don’t feel like much of this post actually talked about ethics. It talked about quality, competence, flexibility, and reliability, and assumes that ethical software would have all these things. That’s not really _ethics_ as I understand

Depending on what you are making, a local manufacturing job shop or small scale contract manufacturer may be the way to go. 15 years ago during/right out of college, I worked as the software dev/IT department for a company in Cent

I am getting the same thing when connected via corporate VPN that blocks certain kinds of sites/adtrackers/etc. I don't get it when not connected via VPN - if I had to guess, I'd guess that you are not handling some err

I have been thinking about this basic idea a bit, trying to reason how to design durable institutions that can help function as crisis mitigation organizations while also working on problems in a community, or put in terms of the article, h

One of the most interesting things about stories of this vintage re-appearing is that you can feel like you are research the future! I know I read this story around the time that it was published, and so it was fairly familiar to me. But t

That's clearly true from talking to several foreigners I know who do medical work in developing countries. Yet it also seems like there is a lane for a simple piece of software to do basic record keeping. For example, I wrote the app

I recently worked on a very small, very custom open source 'EMR' system for a friend involved in prenatal care in a developing country, and so what I wonder is are there attempts to get OpenEMR/Clear Health etc into countries

Whine here - this version used to be available on Kindle - I know, because I purchased it. However, it is no longer available and my copy got ‘updated’ to just the regular text, sometime between my original purchase in 08 and ~2015. I now n

Scene is another big thing, and in the article, Graham draws on SV as a scene, too. That community can be really sustaining, even when you move past the organizing reason. I have not modded Total Annihilation in nearly 20 years, but I sti

I had one thought forming while reading this piece, then read to Carmack's quote in the footnote which encapsulated it. I learned how to program modding games as a teenager, and as an adult now looking back on it, I realize how rough

That is a little more complex than, "Here's a .exe, it will save files into your My Documents. Click Export to make a zip, import to read someone else's zip." Plus generating instructions on how to do that would have be

Nope, that's too much complexity. Because then someone has to run and manage a webserver, and there is no guarantee that ServiceWorkers will work like they do in 5 years or on an ancient Windows7 laptop running IE7. I want this to be a

In this case, this NGO is not going to get acquihired. It's more likely that I'll get an email in 5 years from someone who I don't recognize asking me if I know anything about this program because my email has been attached

I did something vaguely similar to this recently, and I still maintain it was a good choice. I volunteered to write a medical visit recording app for an NGO in a developing country (a friend works with the NGO and asked me if I would help),

I have not read the reviewed book, so I can't say for sure, however, it would be hard for almost any book to be more informationally dense than The Power Broker.

I've recently been reading The Power Broker by Robert Caro, about Robert Moses, the Parks Commisioner who drove most of the building of the parks and roadway infrastructure of New York in the 20s-60s. It's a huge book, with a lot

The causal link between PCOS and obesity is more thought to go the way that PCOS (and endometriosis) can cause obesity, not the other way around.
