It is my (unpopular I suspect) opinion that the contents of medical or other academic journals is not intended for consumption by the “interested public” as much as I can understan…

As a clinician-academic who published in The Lancet during medical school, I think this goes a bit far. Unfortunately student doctors are encouraged to publish whether or not they …

A patient being drunk wouldn’t make it any harder for me to anaesthetise them. But if they’re drunk they wouldn’t legally be able to confirm they consent to the anaesthetic immedia…

If it was actually 23mins, and not modifiable, then a myriad of important professions would be completely unviable (e.g. medicine). That is to say, it seems doubtful that the impac…

I wrote my joint med-CS honours (1 year research thing we have in Aus) thesis in Word. My med supervisor was happy with it. CS supervised insisted I reformat it in LaTeX as he coul…

Nothing is ever “proven”. There is simply more or less support for a theory or proposition. Replication and meta-analysis are an important part of this. Most scientists are in fact…

We no longer require a bun crisis to lodge this flight plan. Plenty of flights are made to Rotto for a sausage roll, any time of the year.

I’ve heard (can’t tell for sure from the photos I’ve seen) that they were “dressing the yards” at the time - which is when the crew stands on top of the yards (the horizontal spars…

This was sufficient justification for me

I would argue against “entire”. As an academic I (and I believe many of my colleagues also) take much pride in what we write - both the content and the prose itself.

I think you should expect to have your arguments deconstructed on HN.

What freedoms are you referring to wrt Australia?

Singapore and Australia might also be on the list.

Perhaps with margin: auto your :gap element can sit in the middle of the “gap space”?

I find the distinction you draw between weights and a program interesting - partially the idea that one is a “static file” and the other isn’t. What makes a file non-static (dynami…

You might disagree, but if you bother to post here you should aim to make an argument. I don’t think a gay slur advances anything.

Akamai or Imperva maybe? No personal experience, but they seem to offer similar suites of WAF/DDoS/CDN products.

From what I can see, there’s reasonable competitors for CF’s offerings, but extremely limited parallels to their free tier. The free tier is the killer.

I think the majority of contributors to that thread are being very reasonable and measured. CF should not be in a position to determine which UAs are viable on the Internet.

Arguably the issue in your friend’s case is providing the patient with a document that’s not designed for them. Radiology reports are written with a particular audience in mind. Th…

Generally yes. Sometimes what’s “normal” is highly dependant on other factors. In that case you might get a table or other comparative information provided. That said, some results…

These systems likely vary around the world, this is an Australian perspective. > When blood works or whatever exam results are available they should go through some kind of automat…

Probably because we have quite a lot of human tools already.

Though Photopea is already an online Photoshop clone and sounds a bit similar? (It’s also pretty decent. My usual go to for stuff I can’t justify spinning up an Adobe VM for…)

I agree. Have always felt that USDS/18F are best in class examples of tech innovation being brought to perhaps slightly tech-backwards areas of government, and doing the interperso…
