Developing for a single platform in 2025 is like developing for a single web-browser in 2005.

Is there an actual new source on this, beyond the Bezos Gazette?

not the lame knock-off that is rimworld.

A single threaded heap of hot garbage-collection.
We use metric in the "American Space Program".

I cannot think of an engineering or scientific endeavor in the US that DOESN'T use the metric system.

The US is officially, metric; ansi converts back for the uneducated.

Honestly, I think it's just silly that we are still trying to make these things on the ground.

Yeah, but there's just WAY too much maga, white-jebus christian nationalism, and confederate flags in that sport.

It's like a trump rally with cars that go left. (oddly)

Hi. Medical professional here.

You are high if you think we are better off with paper than an ePCR.

Sometimes we have to default back to paper, some times the pt record system goes down.

When that does happen, it's a literal fucking nightmare in the ER.

We plan on it happening and we train for it happening, but ePCRs have made our lives so much fucking easier. Simple fucking fact.

Have you ever had to read the pissed off notes in a hand-written chart from the last nurse who has been working 48 hours straight, taking care of 12 critical care pts? Huh? Give that a try sometime.

Seriously?

Fuck off, Jeff.

Pay your FUCKING TAXES, Jeff.

You are an asshole, JEFF.

You've just described the Rust programming language.
