@Steve @nswigger this has legit put an extra spring in my step since i was sent the news

@peter @Steve there’s a lot of operating stats for a hospital, like say the average # of days an inpatient spends in a bed, that are 1) extremely important to manage to, 2) not really tractable for someone to do locally (Excel), and which 3) you want to push into something viewable that’s always up to date

@peter @Steve i’m not going to defend microsoft, but ime what power bi is useful for is sitting on top of enormous data sets and telling someone something useful that requires very simple math to be applied to a large number of rows

@nswigger @Steve @APBBlue it does feel a little manziel-ish

@peter damn i am literally a phd i did not know that was the going rate

@peter #amazo

@nswigger fucking YIKES, dude

My 13 year old stepson: //all sorts of animated about the weird stuff he’s learning in sex ed

Me, sagely: … pee is stored in the balls

They can't arrest us all

@caleb @peter that’s a really sharp metaphor!

@nswigger well she had already finished high school, so

just realized dril might be to millennials what monty python is to boomers and i need to lie down

i think about this meme a lot.

@peter i just want to be able to put chats in a separate window so I don’t have to pick between communicating vs navigating a file structure :(

i finally figured out how to log in to the mastodon app after upgrading my phone a month ago

@tcook oh my god

@peter that’s also really good advice!

@peter no, i would agree with that. in fact I had multiple campus hires quit from my team over 2021-22 specifically BECAUSE working from home was driving them insane and they wanted opportunities to get out of their apartments. plus i do think it’s important for development, as you said.

@Steve @ouddin “… but due to recent advances in string theory, we know that in fact all possible versions of reality are unfolding simultaneously, and viewed from this perspective we cannot truly say that anything has “caused” something else to happen; to do so would be an inappropriate application of our crude human need for the linear progression of time to apply a fixed antecedent to events as they unfold. OUR RATING: FOUR PINOCCHIOS!”
