A certification group that allows a good marketing point could also achieve. Just making up a name, "Our APIs are certified by Open API Association" might encourage developers to develop with A given company's API.

Is it safe to say that taking an apple and manipulating it without adding anything to it could never INCREASE the calories available?

So is the reason that the calorie content in the apple changes in blending due to how difficult (or not difficult) it is to digest?

I don't know of specific cases where a programmer was prosecuted, but I believe that knowingly and negligently leaving holes in compliance-heavy health technology (HIPAA) could result in prosecution.

"Oops?" Is it only in the US that some people are actual bad guys that run from the law?

Some 20 years ago, when HD space was at a premium, I wrote a small script to clear out various temp directories in Windows 98. I tested the deployment on a colleague's computer, only to have him inform me that he used c:\temp as "temporary storage for projects I'm working on". Oh, well.

People with money don't put it all under a mattress. It's active in the economy, creating jobs.

None of this would be important if social media gave us what they originally sold us: See updates from your friends, family, and people you want to see updates from, in chronological order, rather than based upon weird engagement algorithms and privacy-destroying ad networks.

"Quality metrics" is an industry term regarding hitting certain benchmarks of care in a provider's patient population to measure "quality" of care by a provider or group. Payers measure providers for various reasons using well-defined protocols.

An example of a depression protocol is depression remission:

(1) Was an index test performed in prior year to identify depression (2) Was a followup performed this year (3) Does the followup test indicate depression has gone into remission.

There are various other measures for depression.

Part of my job is analyzing quality metrics surrounding depression. Everyone is failing, and uncontrolled depression is an unseen pandemic. We are in rapid innovation phase.

Create a recycling bureau that analyzes source materials and grades recycle-ability, and then in the law require certain grades for certain applications.

Key employee not coming on could jeopardize the sale. A good bargaining chip.

Having done this also, one point of care to take: Make sure your salary is right-sized post-acquisition. The buying company will likely have operating capital requirements based on existing PNL. Assuming you stay on, which key employees will likely have to, your low-salary position could be directly imported into the new position at the new company.

Very interesting.. You have a successful channel, sorry to see that COVID has set you back so.

I visited my first employer recently (a local government) and found that the first MySQL/PHP database I created, an internal app, had been in continuous use for nearly 18 years.

Expecting? Doing. My 2nd grader included. It's going..fair..so far. No substitute for being in class.

I intentionally write short, concise emails.

It has actually backfired on me in the past: because I didn't define and explain the entire space of the matter at hand, I was overcome by other arguments or ideas that I'd already considered and dismissed. That led to followup discussions that didn't need to occur.

It seems that context matters, sometimes long-form is better.

What you are referring to is a Business Associate Agreement, and is indeed already required by law.

Did you get a response? It looks like it was forwarded to some very senior people asking for input.

Order by [column number] is also a useful shortcut in mssql. Very often my columns are a compilation of functions, it feels clean to not repeat them. I'm not sure of availability in other sqls.

> U.S. District Judge Michael Simon issued a restraining order Thursday preventing federal agents from "arresting, threatening to arrest, or using physical force" directed at anyone they know to be a journalist or legal observer, unless they have probable cause to believe they have committed a crime.

> The order also blocks the defendants from seizing any photographic, audio and video recording equipment and press passes from people in those two categories, as well as from ordering them to stop recording or observing a protest.

Why is this not within the already defined rights of all Americans? I fail to see why journalists would need a special use case.

If we had a truly diverse internet that wasn't driven by social media, non-personalized would work fine. Want to reach an audience interested in computers? Buy ads on sites that talk about computers. Instead, we have centralized distribution of content that requires personal knowledge to cater ads to individuals in order for them to be remotely effective.

Installing Unity or Godot and having something move around on the screen is significantly faster, more intuitive and therefore cheaper than dealing with all the processes around racing the beam.

Are you saying that Rs or people from southern states are incapable of critical and analytical thinking?

I'm from TN. It's no surprise to me that they also target DNS over HTTPS. Marsha Blackburn has long been in the pocket of large internet providers. She successfully stopped a large city here in TN from expanding their own successful municipal broadband.

So now can we get an official arm version of the dropbox client? It's all that's prevented me from running a useful linux environment on my phone.

> we’ve dropped support for Internet Explorer.

This is probably more of a mental thing for me than anything, but it's hard to separate myself as an old-school developer from the idea of supporting IE because of it's historical market share. As much of a PITA it was for so long. I suppose, though, I'm happy to see it go.

IANAL. I've always thought of freedom of press as the right to publish. Is it now expanded to the right to be and go where others cannot lawfully go?

I recently found my copy of the Precomputer 1000 manual that I learned BASIC with around 1993. It's now mounted in a shadow box!

I didn't read any of that in this article. Maybe the not accepting excuses point?

One type of leader I've encountered in my career is the one who won't accept accept excuses. "If you can't do it, I'll get someone who can." It's not personal, it's a business.

Another type of leader I've encountered is one who builds the team up and accepts the occasional failure, knowing that in the long run there may be more wins because the team will grow professionally.

Personally, as a leader I find myself more in the second group. However, both are really equally valid, in the long run--in that they have an equal chance to achieve business goals.

How are the other two points (Don't languish in what you can't change, look for a solution in every failure) an "American" viewpoint?

Yes, U07.1. I was not aware of the WHO aspect (only that it had to be accelerated.) Prior to April 1 there were several CDC guidances for covid that unfortunately were complicated by existing code re-use.
