It's been 13 years since my last post here, but I figured this might be of some interest. I know there's a LOT of AI slop around, I hope you'll not consider this that. Background: …

It's also important to remember that we've never had such a powerful, established and fully centralized media. The tech and the reach they have would give any dictator a chubby. Po…

Fingers crossed.

.. many would strongly advise against avoiding those emotions, and possibly getting help / ideas / guidance on how best to defuse their affect on you. There's a significant differe…

What's terrifying is with all these professional analysts in here, yours is the first comment I've seen that asks this obvious question.

First thing I checked, sadly missing considering the amount of medical field data on it coming out of China/East.

I got to this article via RSS. Using Start.me to organize a lovely page full of feeds.

We've needed a solution like this for almost a decade. Thank you, thank you. Love the minimalist vibe to it, gets the job done, transparent + reduction in complexity for user = saf…

meh. // as a programmer for 37 years, and a person heavily familiar with technology -- meh. That is 80s level crap right here, he didn't seem to know people yet. Fair enough, but s…

As a developer of 36+ years, I have 'some' authority to say this. You made some good points but stop! I think the other commenters here have patiently covered the salient points. Y…

This is just a guess, but I would imagine (based on a glance at U.S. stats) over-prescribing accounts for a lot more pain and death than under-prescribing ever could?

The assumption "very smart people" is the reason for the fascinating disparity. IMHO a better assumption would be "well trained, well established, well rehearsed, highly skilled". …

Our community began being filled with relatively inexperienced types who treated engineering problems and solutions like a popularity contest. It was suddenly 'smart' to mock it, s…

Hey.. i'm 42 now, But I was also programming at 13 (at that time we were trying to convince people that computers could be useful, and teachers to allow us to be in the computer la…

That's lovely. Beautiful, readable, elegant bit of code. (35 years experience)

My dirty little coding secret: After decades of coding, I think MVC isn't appropriate for all websites!!! The horror. M(V&C) is my dirty secret.

Same experience here, hiring more experienced (generally older) developers works out better sometimes.. Who would have guessed?

Finally, great comment - had to scroll too far to get to this! 1) The developers clearly weren't experienced enough to know what document storage is and when/where it shines/fails.…

This may be somewhat immature as far as its development but IMHO it's the beginning of the future. My guess is that we'll now be seeing almost complete server/client decentralizati…
