> In Australia, this is mostly because

it's an attempt to starve funding from the public system. (Howard was responsible for destroying the first universal healthcare system in australia before the later second attempt)

The private hospitals specialise in elective uncomplicated day ops because the returns from the medicare payment are better than complicated cases that get the same fixed payment. It's also why they transfer anything slightly complicated into public hospitals.

Not even that in the end.

shame it took years to get bookmarks in.

Mercurials lack of not permanent branches early on with the bizarre "we have a plugin for that" way of doing it showing up too late to change the decision

not to mention the early "just clone it into a new dir" answer before lightweight branching ...

> Edit: also fuck things like Lambda. It's literally the most horrible experience that the universe can muster. Moved most of our lambdas to simple boring http services on top of Go and just leave 20 instances running. Just not having to deal with CloudWatch saved us more money than Lambda could have.

imagine if instead of being a tied in to aws special interfaces lambda had shown up as closer to cloud run!

Though hopefully not the knative style that azure first went with and the LOOOOONG start times.

It'd still suck compared to a completely boring process you can just run on your desktop by ./'ing the executable and looking at the console output. Then chuck it in kubernetes as a ReplicaSet.

Have you seen the demo of what you can get with some wires and low friction traction options :P

medical industry must be going for some long term achievement in how much they disbelieve, mistreat, and degrade women going to them.

I wonder how many units of their training courses are spent on this and how much is spent on the cultural reinforcement of it.

Yes, let's pretend that the bias does not exist, that is helpful. It certainly doesn't have to do with the fact that it's currently a 60/40 split in active male vs female physicians. Or that women are more likely to be taken seriously by doctors:

Are you really unwilling to admit that such a bias exists?

This seems like an especially bad faith interpretation of the comment you were responding to.

the cloud used because execs have already got a microsoft contract. (not to mention the fun licensing problem)

and many of those azure regions are a single DC or single cage in a single dc that you can walk past to find the bigger netflix pop.

> Azure support was completely worthless.

It's quite incredible that a support bill in the >10k per month range from azure makes the public google (not even GCP with a support contract) support look not crap
