A dead doctor (or lawyer) doesn't mean that his/her practice is dead. That legal entity carries on. The local medical board will have rules regarding the disposition of patient records. In all likelihood the dead doctor's practice will be taken over and/or merged into an existing practice. In a worst-case scenario (solo doc, no staff, small town) the records would probably be returned to patients.

Any responsible doctor/practice/hospital will have life insurance to cover expenses resulting from the death of a senior employee such as a doctor. It may even be bundled into the doc's malpractice insurance.

Executors execute wills. They are responsible for the disposition of the dead's assets, not the continued care of patients.

You don't need to prove that you "need" any prescription. If your doc dies, your current prescription is still in effect. When it comes time to renew you need to find another doctor. You don't get to carry on with a prescription forever without medical supervision just because the original doc is dead. It is not up to the patient to decide what they "need" when it comes to prescriptions. Input yes, but the decision as to need is the responsibility of the doctor.
Congratulations to the team who made this possible. Thanks for your hard work. Looking forward to switching binaries.

The merge between the current 0.10.35 branch and the 0.12 branch is almost done (https://github.com/joyent/node/milestones/0.11.15), we can expect version 0.11.15 within then next few days. 0.11.15 will be a release candidate for 0.12.

On the other hand, they've been saying that 0.12 will come out 'soon' for over a year, so this too may take longer than I expect.
So they can but don't have to be marked?

A Village at the Edge: Awsard
There was the operating systems CMS
and CP67 done by the IBM Cambridge
Scientific Center for the IBM 360/67
in, right, about 1967. The CP67
was control program 67 and was for
virtual machine. CMS was Cambridge
Monitor Systems, maybe off and on
Conversational Monitor System, and
the command-line time-sharing operating
system users saw.

CP67 was intended as a means for
interactive, time-shared operating system
development. So, right, could run
CP67 on CP67 -- once that was done
7 levels deep.

The combination CP67/CMS was, for the time,
a total dream for a time sharing system.

Stop malicious code? Sure: On CP67
write and run any code, any instructions
doing anything you want with any data you
want, and you just cannot bother
any other users. So, could run malicious
code safely.

I used CP67/CMS and PL/I from National CSS
Time Sharing in Stamford, CT to schedule
the fleet at FedEx. Founder, COB, CEO
Fred Smith's remark about the output was
"Amazing document" "Solved the most important
problem facing FedEx". The Board was pleased
and a nice chunk of funding was enabled.
It literally saved the company. No,
Fred never gave me my promised stock,
that once he said would be worth
$500,000. Add a few zeros for now.

Since then CP67 was called VM, and
for years IBM's internal computing
was done on about 3600 mainframes around the world and
all running VM/CMS and connected
with VNET which was a lot like the
Internet except the communications
were via bisync lines and the routing
was done by the mainframes themselves.
No, that setup didn't depend on
Systems Network Architecture (SNA).
Yes, there were a lot of fora!

The advantages of running on VM were
too good to pass up, so eventually
essentially all production IBM
mainframes were running their
operating systems as guests
on VM on the bare metal.

In virtual machine, IBM was way out
in front.
I would make a strong cut between "application code" and "library code". For the former compilation to ES5 is overkill because the author of the code controls the runtime. For the latter the library either has to contain a long list of "tested with the following versions of the following runtimes and with the following versions of the following ES6-to-ES5-compilers" or it should be compiled pre-publish into a format with known semantics.

Example: I wanted to use the WHATWG streams code. But then I realized that they used an ES6 subset that is currently only compatible with traceur. The result: I had the choice between patching the code or downloading traceur, compiling the library, somehow get traceur out of it, and then require the resulting file into my otherwise fully working ES6 environment. I take a nice, tested, ES5 version any day over that experience.
I'm not sure it's worth publishing both ES6 and ES5 transpiled versions when you could just glue the transpiler into Node's "require": http://6to5.org/docs/setup/#require-hook
That should explain it. I’ve removed the line as it’s no more mysterious...
I think you would be interested in how fast someone can move in with a knife. Anyways, you give them space and they bolt away and stab or take hostage the next person they encounter. There are so many what ifs in these situations then end badly that you don't even want to let it get to that point.

If "lunging" was the only thing knife welding psychos could do the world would be much nicer place.

TLDR: Enqueue work items into per-connection queues and process sequentially; use a pool of work-stealing threads to harvest work from the per-connection queues to optimize the case where slow work items block.

I've worked with Aline. She's fucking awesome.
Good point. But my assumption would be that backslash was chosen because it's a reserved sequence that didn't have a meaning yet. E.g. they could have started suddenly treating "It costs $x, where x is the number of rides" as a compile time error when it previously was a perfectly valid string literal. And not everyone wants to introduce yet another string literal syntax like ES6 does with backticks...

VM is not really an emulation. If the
guest's
code is just user level code, then
it just runs as usual directly in the
hardware processor. But if in the guest's code
there is a
privileged instruction, that is,
an instruction reserved for an operating system,
then the VM
gets an interrupt and, then, decides if
VM wants to execute the privileged instruction
on behalf of the guest. To make this
all efficient, there is some hardware called
virtual machine assist.
That stuff has always irked me, trying to look threatening/intimidating.

However when most people complain about military gear finding its way to police I have to laugh a little bit. When automatic grenade launchers and .50 cal machine guns start appearing then there are problems(too late at that point I guess).

MWRAPS and armored personnel carriers, those are okay. Dressing in all black(A horrible tactical color BTW) or camo now your just doing that to look upsetting.

The armored tanks are not so bad as it provides something that police can feel safer and less threaten in so escalation doesn't need to happen so fast.

That's very deniable in the US. The rising cost of education and lack of government funding for education means that many, many people are not getting more educated.

Hi! Thanks for sharing. I agree it's important to talk about the 99% of indies who never get to the top of the app stores.

I downloaded your app. The best feedback I can give is that it's too difficult to get through the gates with tilt controls. It doesn't give me the peaceful sense of skiing down the slopes (that the iOS game above claims to provide).

There is a huge element of luck to it, but the top indie games all have a great sense of graphics design and UX design that make them a joy to play. Users are verrry picky, and may skip downloading your app even if the icon doesn't meet their bar of quality.

My dream is to be able to design something as nice as Monument Valley.
I'd love to see Google PR put out a statement explaining that your definition of Corp Dev is what Google uses. :P
Their customers are not King.com or most techie startups. Their customers are insurance companies, banks, and other financial behemoths.

My bank recently alerted me because I swiped my credit card at one gas station away from home but did not buy gas (the pump was out of gas) and then swiped again at another gas station in a 3mi radius within 30 minutes (obviously since I needed gas).

Their system picked up these two transactions, figured out they were both gas stations, geo-located them to be out of my area, calculated the distance to be close enough to reason it was just one person (and not my wife using her card elsewhere), and triggered an alert because the first transaction was really just a $1 pre-auth with no actual charge.

While none of this is really that complex if you built a fraud-detection system from ground up with these requirements, imagine running this rule on a few hundred million transactions per day. Now add in a thousand more fraud-detection rules, scoring algorithms, and pattern recognition for uncommon usage. Then hook it up to the mobile app to further reduce chances of fraudulent usage by tracking user's location, businesses silently checked-in, and alert preferences. IBM is targeting companies that need this.

Ivy League’s meritocracy lie
I have to respectfully disagree with you. You may be spot on in some scenarios, but you couldn't be further away in others.

As a co-founder, I didn't take a salary until a year into the startup (same with my other two co-founders). Even when we received our accelerator funding, all of it went towards our first hire's (an engineer) salary and operating expenses. At this point, our risk was significantly higher, not slightly. If the company didn't succeed, I can tell you our first hire was next in line for a cushy market job, and he was being actively poached, not us.

After we graduated the accelerator we raised a ~$1M seed round. We hired more two early team members at market salaries. Each of the co-founders were taking $33K salaries. Why? We wanted the budget to hire great people. So no, definitely not a similar pay cut. In fact, it's increasingly hard for early stage startups to hire good talent at less than market rates because there are plenty of amazing startups hiring above market. Our risk at this stage was even higher, because failing would burn most of our bridges with our new investors (maybe a couple wouldn't hold it against us), where as if our engineers went on to start something, no investor would think twice about their history working at a failed VC-funded startup.

We didn't increase our salaries again until we were generating revenue. Even now, three years in, I'm taking $20K less than the starting salary for a junior person in the role I have. While I want to increase that a little more as our revenue grows, I don't think it's fair to take a market salary at our stage.

And I won't even begin to dignify early employees do "more work in designing and building the product, running operation, doing marketing, and selling to customers" with an answer.

I'm not complaining, but to say being an early employee is a rotten deal is unfair. If our startup goes under, I definitely have the more rotten deal. It only looks like I had the better deal if we succeed.

And if you want to start a startup, you should, that's the only way you'll know how truly hard it is.
Propublica is actually even nicer than Medium, if you ask me.

MS are already updating IIS and IE - you can use HTTP/2 using the Azure platform preview today and the IE Windows 10 preview supports it too.

Of the mainstream commercial HTTP servers I think MS are going to get there before nginx, and HTTP/2 may well render Apache irrelevant as there seems very little work on updating it happening.

In some situations that is a concern (hostages, bystanders) but my understanding is SOP means getting bystanders out of the way ASAP and dealing with the disturbed person. It's not like the police are six feet from them, they typically have a good cushion of space (and should take more) and take every chance to deescalate --throw fishing net at them, whatever, but use lethal force as last resort, not at the first lunge.
>this makes me think that the main problem probably comes from the age of the infrastructure.

I suspect this is the cause. I don't know what level of technology is running behind the scenes but it certainly didn't feel anywhere near as modern as many of the systems you encounter around Asia, which are generally no more than a few decades old. Often they have also been aggressively updated since their construction, both out of utility and almost as a point of national pride.

One thing jumped out at me as being particularly anachronistic in 2014, which is when I was in London. Human beings standing on the platform making routine announcements over the loud speakers at stations and train drivers making announcements on the trains.

The vast majority of places have all of their standard announcements prerecorded as well as a bank of prerecorded special case announcements. Not just in Asia. In Australia (Perth), where I am from, and Barcelona, where I am now, this is also the case.

This has the advantage that the announcement has zero background noise in the sound coming over the speakers, a relatively accent free voice can be used and the announcements are the same every time. I am a native English speaker but still found understanding the announcements over the noise of a train pulling into the station with that same sound also coming through the speakers was often impossible. Throw in the person having a reasonably strong accent and them feeling the need to adlib the announcement format and things get even more difficult.

I was genuinely shocked the first time I saw a human being standing on the platform attempting to shout into a microphone loud enough to be heard over a train. And given that the customer facing technology is sub-par it does make me suspicious of the degree to which the rest of the system has been updated over the years.

It would be lovely to think that the London underground has retained its old worldy charm whilst running state of the art 21st century technology under the skin but I suspect its not the case.

Whether HTTP/2 sucks is a matter of opinion - yes it has some technical compromises but it delivers a faster experience for browsers (not always though) by overcoming some of the latency penalty inherent in modern web pages.

IETF had no option to but to start a standardisation process around HTTP/2 otherwise SPDY would have become a de-facto standard.

The IETF have been trying to come up with the next version of HTTP for years and didn't get anywhere so perhaps Google and others forcing their hands is a good thing.

PHK has been telling everyone what's wrong with the current HTTP/2 approach since he beginning but with the exception of his session stuff has never really come up with any detail on what should be done different.

It's easy to kick HTTP/2 but the reality is it delivers many good things, not least a way for us to upgrade from it in the future.
Please don't rely on require hooks in libraries. They are kind of evil in applications already (because they amplify the "synchronous require" problem). Test your library against a version of 6to5, compile, publish, and remove that paragraph in font size 48 from your README.*

(*) I hope you add such a paragraph when your library relies on a global require hook that changes the default behavior of require for all .js files in all libraries.
To be fair, anyone who uses numpy or scipy ends up using Fortran even if they don't know it. A lot of scientific libraries have been ultra optimized for Fortran.

I'm sure optimized libraries could be written in any language, however the vast number of researchers have decided that Fortran is by far more accurate and faster (for these libraries) so they go with that.
You're still comparing two different data structures. Is there a good hash table in Rust? If you use that instead of the B-tree, I would expect it to be at least as fast as Nim.

B-trees are especially bad for string keys, because comparisons are expensive.

EDIT: From Rust docs: "Currently, our implementation simply performs naive linear search. This provides excellent performance on small nodes of elements which are cheap to compare". (emphasis mine)
Once those steps are literally just "use iojs", I think the calculus is a little different, no?

I agree with you, but simulation games were a whole genre back in the early 90s. It has almost completely disappeared. Remember Microprose? Remember Maxis ? Remember Did ? Bullfrog ? They were all huge businesses dedicated to educated/curious gamers back then. Paradox falls into the indies - they clearly do not have much means (while they make great games).
