When it comes to handling healthcare data, particularly PHI (Patient Health Information) then data security and regulatory compliance become your baseline non-negotiable items. Everything else is up for discussion. Do you think they'd ask their doctors to not bother washing their hands to save a bit of money on soap?

Here's my phone number: "555-123-9876 Extension 45, ask for Tim" Perfectly valid, but does your verification library handle it?

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by tier 1 and tier 2, but I assume you mean a measure of programming proficiency? I had a quick scan over your source code repo and the main thing that jumps out at me is that you have no automated tests that …

> An exercise of the mind: > "What happens to a Möbius strip if you cut it right down its center?" My mind gets fully stick thinking about this.... although intuitively I reckon you get two Möbius strips looped together.

You'd be looking for some kind of Export function in the Yahoo mail settings. I gave up my yahoo email address a couple or three decades ago so can't direct you specifically to it, but that's what I'd be looking for. A way to export the emails to some kind …

Studying neural networks and AI may be interesting for you personally, which is as good a reason as any to study it. When it comes to finding a job you need to ask yourself the next question: In what field do I want to apply my neural networks and AI …

A QA tester walks into a bar, orders -4 beers, "2" whiskeys, and Integer.MAX_VALUE + 1 packets of crisps.

You've essentially asked the same question twice, for reasons unknown. Regardless, I gave a suggestion in [your other post](https://www.daniweb.com/community-center/threads/545390/how-should-i-handle-concurrent-bookings-in-an-on-demand-app)

> Laptop full time support 24/7 The job is to be on support all the time, every hour of every day? That sounds terrible.

> I’d appreciate advice from developers who have implemented similar concurrent booking or reservation systems. My top tip for implementing concurrent booking systems, is do not implement a concurrent booking system. Keep your request processing sequential, aka serial, aka single threaded, and you will never have to deal with any …

Since this post is clearly spam to get their target phrase count up, I'll not expect a response from the author. But, the example given is based on the premise that the prototype later becomes the production system. This goes against what I would consider good practice. The PoC can, …

I'm a Java/Kotlin/JVM guy so have been a long time user of the JetBrains suite of IDE tools. When I do have to do some Python then I find [PyCharm](https://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/) to be very agreeable.

The constantly moving configuration and interfaces of modern technology frustrates me deeply. You may have heard me extol the virtues of technology built decades ago. In the 90s I bought some HiFi equipment, I learned how to operate it, and have done so with little bother ever since. In contrast …

For the times when I really want to search for something that isn't just "what was the link to that site I already know about" I would use Kagi. There are no ads, no sponsored results, just stuff that's relevant to your search criteria. It's free for low usage but …

I recently had to buy a new laptop and I ended up going for a Framework machine. I went for that because almost all components are replaceable and upgradable which is a rare quality in a laptop these days. I'm hoping that it means I can keep it relatively current …

Technology has more and more made me appreciate the value of simplicity and predictability in design. Too many of today's "problems" are solved with complicated technology when something much simpler would suffice and be better (my definition of better). Not everything needs an iPhone App. For example, I like to …

As with some others here, because your first question is for my email I have declined to continue. Consider whether you really do need personal information from your survey participants. If you do, then say why and what you intend to do with it.

I'll say the Windows operating system. I used to use it almost exclusively because I knew nothing else. But then a friend of mine that I met at Uni enthusiastically introduced me to Linux. He was a fan of Gentoo, which was a bit complicated for me, so I started …

I guess this will likely be attractive to freelance developers. What time commitment are you looking for? And what hourly/daily rate are you offering?

From this day forward I shall take great enjoyment in pointing this out to all of my Claude loving colleagues and friends.

You and I are a similar age Dani and have been at this programming game for a similar amount of time, you perhaps a little longer than I. In my experience I don't feel like much has changed at all over the last couple of decades, my current professional project …

> Link Building Without Being Spammy Such irony.

I purchased a Markdown editing tool called Typora. I paid my money, I downloaded the tool, activated it, and I can run it on my computer forever-more. No recurring subscription.

This is going to sound flippant but I promise it's not: You need to pay more attention to the details of your object references. That's making sure your variables point to actual objects rather than none, which is null. Programming is a very precise discipline that required exactly correct syntax, …

Are any of you Daniweb folks into doing [Advent of Code](https://adventofcode.com/)? If you've never heard of it, here's an introduction from their website (also linked above) > Advent of Code is an Advent calendar of small programming puzzles for a variety of skill levels that can be solved in any …

Why a Telegram group? It feels like you're immediately constraining your audience.

I believe there to be an element of group thinking where the herd follow the current trends and fashions. At one time being part of an open source project was seen as the height of cool so everybody was doing it, which was great because the availability of small reusable …

> bakery app I don't think phones are very good at baking cakes

It seems to me that the key to getting anywhere useful with AI tooling is to be very very very precise in what you ask it. And the problem with that is that natural language, such as the English language, isn't all that precise so is extraordinarily difficult to achieve. …

I'll second a few already mentioned: * Burn Notice: Fun entertainment, worth it for Sam Axe alone. Makes you want to drink more Mojito's * Red Dwarf: Technically sci-fi, but outrageously funny (in a very British kind of way). * Banshee: Way more violent and saucy than is necessary but …

What you have described isn't what I would call micromanagement. The choice of language and build tooling are what I'd consider "architecturally significant" decisions which have likely already been made by the team you are joining, so for your part you fall in with the convention already set by the …

I believe so, yes. The physicality of being away from your normal workplace makes a big difference for me in terms of taking in the content of the talks and not being distracted by the other things happening on your computer, email, messaging, or whatever. Also, there's enormous value in …

Hello Norm, we have 'met' before on a handful of other forums over the years.
