It's kind of depressing that the US economy and US healthcare industry is so fucked that it's cheaper for a megacorporation (Walmart, Amazon) to set up a private little single-payer state inside itself. That's really what thi

And? The point of the parent was that either of those are better than native - doesn't matter how much div soup you have, at least the information exists, unlike the bucket of raw pixels that're all you get from native UIs somet

I believe that the classic offender is digoxin, a common cardiac medication. As mentioned, opiates also commonly fall into this category. And it's less common today thanks to new legal restrictions on maximum indicated doses, but parac

Far more concerning to me is the part where pill shapes and sizes and colors are a critical safety mechanism: The pill that kills you if you take two of it is instantly distinguishable from the pill that you have to take four times a day, s

This is a neat DB-side last line of defense! I agree that parameterization is the Right Way to ensure safety, but if we're being realistic you'll never actually get everyone to do it the right way, so it's worth putting i

I'd trust the FTDI windows drivers, because almost all industrial use of embedded is on windows, factories and electrical engineering and the like. I'd mostly trust the Linux drivers, because the open-source community uses them.

At my first job out of college, there was a "utils" file with IIRC over 100k LoC. Nearly every file in the codebase imported it. This was in Perl . That single import statement would increase the time to start anything by upwards

Kind of backfired for me, because only very rarely were professors able to assign projects that were big enough that I couldn't do them entirely by myself, and I was outright incentivized to do so because even working at that speed I

The solutions you suggest would prompt more outrage than anything Google does in this space today.

This analysis is only relevant for neurotypicals. There are ways that your brain can work that flip this whole thing on its head, and if you have one of those brains you need to do exactly the opposite of what this article recommends: You c

I can see this as a general-purpose computing device, but what I really want this for is simulation gaming. I could make a new instrument panel for every rocket I build in Kerbal Space Program. A dedicated selection of dials and toggles f

When I was a student in Atlanta - no car, miserable public transit, before Uber and Lyft - my polling place was a small government office in a suburb halfway across the county, which is a narrow strip from one edge of the ATL metropolitan a

The broken hibernate is my biggest problem - back in college my laptop cooked itself one day because it woke up in my well-padded messenger bag and started installing updates. >_<

That's entirely fair, yeah. Still much faster than closing the patient back up so you can drive them to imaging!

Being able to use this around metal is also huge. It means you can use it on patients with metal implants or bullets in them, to guide surgery in real-time, in the surgical suite, at the same time as other medical instruments, at the pati

That's incredible. It was just "very cool" for the first few levels - if you cleaned up the directions and added a factorio-style blueprint library I could easily see myself sitting down to work out optimal solutions to any l

The fact that the entry-level card can run its clock 30% faster than the same line's top-end offering supports the story pretty solidly, IMO. Not supporting 8 GB of vram can't have given them enough breathing room to casually ru

At a certain point I wonder if you just declare both 2.1a and 2.1b with different required subsets of the "full" 2.1 functionality. Or, like, 2.1 requires only the basics and you simultaneously declare 2.2 which has the extra stuf

The real killer feature for this is probably that it makes every textbox a little vim instance. Thanks to things like slack, discord, gmail, HN et al, I spend more time typing into OS default textboxes than I do managing windows, or some da

I mean, water is also aggressively hostile. We're just really well adapted to it. Even pure water will turn metal into rust unless you're using special alloys. Salt water is so bad that even alloys won't save you, you have to
