My wife is one of these trainees left out by this "algorithm." She's an intensive care fellow and was caught up in this mess yesterday. It's really hard to witness considering how much I worry about her everyday she's on service.

My understanding is the training is capped at 80 hours/week, but they average that over the month. They definitely work more than that some weeks, but it's usually because it's not scheduled hours; it's shifts that run long because of emergencies or codes or whatever. When she was a resident and had to write patient notes, that definitely took extra hours each night after her shifts. It's brutal.

And for what it's worth, not all doctors make great money after training. In pediatrics, salaries are generally half what adult doctors make. For a lot of subspecialties, that's on par with average software engineering salaries, even after about 14 years of education and training.

Chief residents are not always in their final year of training. In some cases, like pediatrics, it's a subsequent leadership year.

I used to race road bikes and segments were a great way to compete during training rides and the off-season. I haven't raced in years, but it was a lot of fun trying to best your teammates time, or someone you race against.

Now I mostly run and it's far less interesting. I mostly just use it to log my workouts. I love Strava, though, and appreciate the platform they created and opened up for free. I think it's a great product.

I would guess Apple.

Signal is open source: https://github.com/signalapp

That's great information. Thank you for sharing. I wasn't aware it was operated by the wholesaler to local bookstores, but that makes sense. It seems to be a smooth platform with a massive selection.

Have you considered using Signal instead of WhatsApp for secure messaging?

*Maybe I'm misunderstanding

Does this mean that after two years, Apple won't support Intel processors anymore? I just bought a 10-core iMac so really hoping that's not the case. My I'm misunderstanding.

Just wanted to plug bookshop.org. It benefits local bookstores and my shopping experiences have been positive. There are other great sites out there, too, if you're willing to buy used or can tolerate slower shipping.

I get the appeal of amazon.com though because their prices are competitive and the shipping is usually consistently fast. I just like local bookstores.

The original commenter said they were coerced into working as campaign volunteers, not coerced to vote.

While I agree hospitals should have protocols to handle these situations, it's just not that straight forward. These IT systems are big and complex, and not standardized.

I worked on critical systems in the energy sector and while we were buried in federal compliance paperwork, the systems and software were always a target that was evolving and hard to keep up with. The energy management system was a huge bureaucratic battle between IT and engineering and there were compromises made (that I didn't always agree with) for the sake of support and maintainability within the IT tech landscape. For compliance reasons, and because the system is "offline", upgrades and patches were really challenging and honestly kind of terrifying. The risk of taking something down and impacting grid operations was harrowing. It really made our small team reticent to touch anything. I don't envy these hospitals, it's a really tough battle to ensure your systems are always up to date, locked down, and operational.

Also, a hospital going down is not a small problem. My wife is an ICU doctor for a large hospital and her patients' are sometimes hanging on by a thread. If they lost their EHR and patient history, I imagine that would present a really scary challenge. It's not just financial.

Why would subscriptions over advertising change their target audience? It seems that either way they are trying to get as many eyeballs as possible. Getting repeat subscriptions versus repeat page views (or whatever the ad revenue metric) seems irrelevant to me.

I know there are tradeoffs to using any project framework or generator, but I'm just impressed by the amount of work people dedicate to these open source platforms. Congratulations on the release! I used this for a production application at work and it's served its purpose masterfully. Thank you for continuing to push the ecosystem forward.

Unless it runs through a different junction box, which it might, it wouldn't matter. The tech said as much, that they could upgrade my plan for free, but it wouldn't make a difference. The node is literally on top of the pole outside my house and there doesn't seem to be a way around it.

The AT&T internet plan seems sufficient for my usage. It's capped at 100Mbps, which I understand to be a limit, at least in part, of running over copper phone lines. I get about 20Mbps up pretty consistently, which is enough. Apparently fiber in my neighborhood is right around the corner (literally, my neighbors have it), but we probably won't live here when it arrives.

On a side note, AT&T threw in free install, $150 in gift cards, and a free 24" Samsung LCD. All for $45/mo no contract service. Made it real easy to switch, though I would've anyway.

I just cancelled Comcast this week and am in the Bay Area too. I've been going (polite) rounds with their customer support since March. Constantly losing connection, uploads peak at 1Mbps, horribly unreliable.

I paid for their 110Mbps plan and have worked remotely for many years. Video dropping all the time, router hanging. After upgrading all my equipment because they wouldn't admit fault, I got a tech to come out who was completely candid because I showed him my modem SNR and power levels and he knew I wasn't messing around.

Without fail, he pointed to the pole top node and said that's the problem. It was Sunday and the realtime congestion was near 80%. He said it was scheduled for upgrade but everything is delayed because of supply chain issue in China.

That was all I needed to hear. Canceled that day, got AT&T copper (no fiber here), and it's been solid so far.

I share your concern. It feels like this will make it harder for immigrants to find work and incentive outsourcing.

I tried loading the site but it's just hanging for me. I can see the landing page, but it looks like a request to an mp4 file might be blocking the main thread. The site just hangs.

From what I can see of the landing page though, there's not much describing the product. Maybe the video or something shares more.

This is awful for multiple reasons.

This looks amazing and really polished. Congratulations!

What inspired you to create this player? How does it compare to other open source players like Video.js or Plyr?

Same here. Been on Namecheap for as long as I can remember with quite a few domains.

I switched to freetaxusa.com this year after 15+ years in Intuit. I have more complex taxes than the average person and I felt like it went just fine. Really happy with the service. Went from about $150 per year to $15.

Bookmarked, thank you!

I lived within walking distance of Powell's for over a decade and it was my favorite place to spend free time (shot out to Annie Bloom's Books in Multnomah Village, as well). I make a concerted effort to live near bookstores because I think they are some of the most wholesome and comforting places on the planet. That and libraries.

I agree that "Demo" does make it seem like more of an enterprise application. I got a similar feeling about "Free Demo" and, to me, it felt like it cheapened the product.

I've played around with different words and phrases, and I think matching your other buttons actually works the best. I took two screenshots, one title case and one sentence case. I like sentence case but it's inconsistent with your "Sign Up" button.

This looks amazing, well done! Really intuitive and easy to use.

A minor suggestion: the phrase "Free Demo" on the landing page sticks out to me and feels awkward. I think maybe changing it to "Try" or "Demo" would be more fitting. Adding "Free" seems unnecessary and distracting.

I also think it should be highlighted, maybe changing it to blue text. Or maybe green.

Just my opinion.

I have nothing to add to this conversation other than to say how much I love each of these. It really takes me back to a time when I fell in love with computers, and how much endless exploration and excitement they represented. Thank you sharing this – it's nice to remember those feelings.

This is great, but most of these don't seem that pronounceable to me.

I've spent an embarrassing amount of time looking at domain names over the years. This is going to cost future me hours. Thanks for sharing!

I had to scroll all the way to the bottom to see if anyone could even read the site on mobile.
