Came here to say this. I’ve worked on systems for a restaurant on the beach and it was corroded as hell. We had the wireless access points in cheap “weatherproof” boxes and they got corroded. We replaced them once a year or so because it was so bad.

Oh definitely! I just meant in this particular case.

The only person who should care about anything other than the quality is Randall. However since he licensed it CC BY-NC 2.5 how he feels about it doesn’t really matter either.

Not even this super secret messages I’m sending you?

The only legitimate child of notorious poet philanderer Lord Byron. I love her whole story.

I really thought Allscripts was going to get their shit together a bit over a decade ago. We kept hearing from their reps that they were working on a much better UI.

It is still hot garbage.

Hell, poorer clinics use old versions of EMR/EHR software that they bought in '08 and host locally. Some of that shit barely supports Windows 7. Some of that software doesn’t support things like HL7 properly so getting the data out and into a newer one can be cost prohibitive in and of itself because you’ve got to pay someone to write a translator for a shitty database in a format that was purposefully confusing to keep vendor lock in for a vendor that went tits up a year later.

I mentioned before that I have a lot of certificates for a lot of those companies that no longer exist. If it wasn’t soul crushing I could probably make a decent living just moving people from those systems. But my soul is already a shriveled piece of garbage and I don’t want to purposely squeeze the last little bit of juice out just yet.

Change password every day, and the required password length and complexity increases each time you change your password.

Are there still places you can buy those that you wouldn’t be on camera and immediately trackable?

I’m not shitting on the idea, I’m just trying to make it as good as possible.

I use it to help me lay out pseudo code and check it against what I come up with. It has made the way I structure things (and comment on things) way better.

All Kubernetes usually leads to huge SRE costs for a tiny app

Hush, I’m working as an SRE and don’t want anyone to figure this out.

I heard the same story when I was a kid, but it was about a boilermaker. The rest was for knowing where to tap his hammer to fix their problem.

It’s an obviously apocryphal story with two great messages. First, don’t undervalue your expertise just because the fix was easy (I still have a problem with that). Second, if you don’t know what you’re doing don’t question the expert just because it looked easy.

She’s now qualified to do 90% of my job. Unfortunately the other 10% is explaining why it works.

You must have been in charge when I was built. I’ve still got security issues, memory leaks, and there’s a major known issue where under certain conditions I continue to work but stop providing any feedback or messaging.

If you could have your team at least address the resource management issue I’d be grateful.

Abandonware

It’s a good question. I don’t think there are any widely used ones, but I’d bet there are a few running around for internal use.

I think that due to the nature of Linux in general the only ways to have a successful proprietary software package is by being a hardware vendor, owning a whole format that is widely used and needs to be licensed, or having pretty serious multiplatform support. Desktop environments don’t really fall under these.

But I could be way the hell off the mark. I’m just a rambling drunk.

If you don’t want it to get personal then don’t fight common Lemmy hyperbole with what is known to be a talking point of the “everything that I don’t like is communism” dude bros.

Hell , I agree with everything you said. I like what you said. Seeing someone with my exact views that comes from a place where it happens warms the cockles of my heart. Maybe in the sub cockles. Maybe in the liver, maybe in the kidneys. Maybe even in the colon, I don’t know.

Maybe I’m a little sensitive because I live in a place where what you said is the lie we’re told every day. I watch the kind of people who say it and wonder when they’re going back to jail for meth or stealing a car. I go back to my hometown and watch the people there say that through their single tooth and really believe it. They can’t get better mouth bone care because they can’t afford it, but they’re sure robber barons will fix it.

So if I came off as an ass, I apologize. I deal with those people every fucking day of my life and have for over 4 decades.

That’s a pretty hot take saying that on the internet considering the Internet got its start as a government program. Hell, a lot of the fiber in the US was done through corporate welfare programs. A lot of rural places wouldn’t even have Internet if it weren’t for our taxes going to the common good (like socialism!). Let’s not forget all the things that came out of NASA and government funded universities.

He’ll, I like a bit of capitalism. A well regulated market that promotes competition can be fantastic. But to say almost everything came from capitalism is either ignorant, willfully stupid, or so full of propaganda that you can’t possibly be a functional adult.
