I thought I was the only one! Something in the UI cache is so horribly corrupted and it has been for years on my MacBook, I just gave up hope.

It's interesting how different standards for behavior on public transit are over there compared to the US. The €100 fine for playing music out loud introduced by Irish Rail sounds …

I would disagree for a few reasons, at least for its application to cardiac arrest. It might have some niche applications, but that's only speculative. The main determinant of succ…

Yes, CO2 still builds up. In an acute situation where oxygenation isn't sufficient, the imminent threat of anoxic brain injury and end-organ dysfunction is the concern. Measures wo…

It would be quite distressing because of the accumulation of CO2 in the blood, even with completely adequate oxygenation delivered intrarectally. The slight change in acid-base bal…

"Any sufficiently advanced home automation is indistinguishable from a haunting."

I also built a 3D portfolio website[1] using React and react-three-fiber but I took a different approach design-wise, the HTML content is scrollable like a normal website but the 3…

For my apartment, I run rtsp-simple-server[1] on my home server and use Raspberry Pis with generic USB webcams running ffmpeg to stream the audio/video to the RTSP server. Then I r…

The fixation on comparing this to a toilet plunger is unnecessary and somewhat off-putting, but yes, this is pretty common nowadays. The LUCAS is a huge help and makes running a ca…

Yep, it has issues so frequently. I wonder how many companies/teams start using AWS and blindly choose us-east-1 without realizing what they're getting into. It's also quite annoyi…

Some unsolicited recommendations for sci-fi novels that cover this topic well: - "The Mote in God's Eye" by Jerry Pournelle and Larry Niven (1974) - "A Fire Upon The Deep" by Verno…

Your mentioning the pantheon gave me a flashback to how one of my old companies named their non-prod environments. The dev environment services were named after all the Greek gods,…

I’m also now mildly disturbed/worried by the idea of going about my business in AI-generated VR a few years from now (maybe with some 2D-to-3D-ifying compatibility layer) and being…

Agreed, and virtually anything not enumerated would fall under either the Elastic Clause[1] or the Commerce Clause[2] giving Congress power to regulate it. [1] - https://en.wikiped…

Sometimes I check out /r/teachers to get an idea of what's going on in education. The general consensus is that behavior issues are completely out of control for a variety of reaso…

Paramedic here - I could see this being useful in the emergency medicine world, if it ever gets to market. Lots of cool things are starting to get included in our cardiac monitors …

I remember years ago, Citus offered people a free pair of socks as a bribe for signing up for their newsletter. I loved my database socks and gave them some free advertising during…

I can try to break it down for an uninitiated audience. "isotonic crystalloids" - Solutions such as normal saline used to restore volume proportionally to the bloodstream and intra…

I'd offer some pushback, from someone with hands-on experience. I'm a paramedic and work alongside other medics, nurses, and physicians who have seen a wave of change in evidence-b…

It's not so clear cut for a few reasons. #1 - Funky/misleading statistics - Generally they claim that these NPs with uncomplicated patients do as well as physicians with complicate…

I generally dismiss these “equivalent outcome” studies. Any midlevel will (and should) bounce the more complicated cases to their supervising physicians. Outcomes at that point are…

Residency has a lot of problems. The match is stressful enough. Medical school graduates carry a huge amount of debt, but must complete residency before earning enough to meaningfu…

Yep. The midlevels are supported by automatic protocols in Epic (e.g. sepsis, DKA -> put these dozens of orders in with 5 clicks) that physicians decide on and approve. They also r…

Even appending “reddit” is often inadequate, as the algorithm seems to artificially limit one search result item (potentially with some children under it, but unrelated threads, 2-…

Mine won't do any auto-formatting when the syntax is invalid, so when I hit CMD + S and it _doesn't_ format it's a cue to start looking for errors.
