    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Why the FUCK do my chicken pot pies keep sticking to the pie plate? I even tried spraying a little bit of Pam on it before cooking. Nope. Stuck and have to scrape the damn thing out. Every god damned time.

    Battle isn't quite over. Is there any possible risk of open-source software suddenly being declared proprietary and closed? The fear is we choose Mirth as our HL7 engine and some time down the road the company decides to start charging for it. Not sure what the legality of that would be.

    Black Mirror(UK) Season 2

    Yeah, it's pretty much a Twilight Zone or Outer Limits.

    Alright, so I'm pretty sure I've convinced the company to just say 'fuck it' and use Mirth for our HL7 engine. The effort that would have to go into creating something that essentially does the same damn thing would be immense. I hammered the point across that HL7 mappings aren't as simple as...

    Making a Murderer (Netflix) - New info

    Truth is, if this lawyer were to win, there could be the potential of a monstrous payout. Hell, could Steven conceivably sue the FBI?

    The following episode,15 Million Merits, is probably the best of the entire series.

    Galavant

    I had heard good things about Galavant, but didn't bother watching it as the ratings plummeted last year. But, I decided to watch the first couple eps of season 1 last night since season 2 was about to begin. I thought it was pretty gosh dang funny. Interestingly, the other person in the...

    22 times? How the hell can they tell that from just skull fragments? And if that's true, there is no way in hell he could've cleaned that mess up to the degree they claim.

    Why would she have a spare key that she never, ever touched? That doesn't make sense. Makes even less sense that Avery would've had access to it. By the way, Brenden's plight makes me wonder if SundanceTV'sRectifyis loosely based on that account. Brenden's situation eerily paralleled young...

    And the keys hadonlySteve Avery's DNA, not Theresa's who was the damn owner. No plausible explanation was given. That was a huge red flag for me.

    I'm pretty sure they said that Theresa's DNA was never found in Avery's trailer nor the garage other than the magic bullet.

    I had never heard of this trial until this series and was hoping for a happy ending where he sued the county for billions. Oh well. Anyway, mind blown. I realize that the documentary is taking a position of the innocence of Steve Avery, but given what was shown I cannot fathom how a jury...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    I get why people dislike Dark Souls 2 but, for me, between Demon Souls and Dark Souls I probably had the most fun with DS2. The only thing I missed was the interconnected world of Dark Souls.

    I've seen ANTLR recommended here and there while researching the whole scripting language thing. I kinda ignored it since it's slanted towards Java, plus I didn't really understand what it was all about. Found a book on it though and, holy crap, I think it's exactly what I'm looking for...

    Hypothetical Girlfriend Rating Poll: Which would you rather have?

    7/10. Modest sexual appetite would be more than myself, so that's fine.

    Again, they will reject pretty much any library or framework that Microsoft doesn't directly bless. Instead of nHapi, they created their own HL7 parsing library. We just had an overview of it a couple weeks back so I haven't had the (dis)pleasure of using it yet. The problem with our...

    I totally agree that making our own isn't a great idea. But I can hear the bitching and moaning right now if I suggest Javascript, Python, or anything else that doesn't originate from our loins. A few months ago we wanted to implement a more thorough logging system (just for diagnostics) in...

    Into the Badlands

    Why the Badlands ratings dipped so much is beyond me. Hell, my 70-year old mother enjoyed the hell out of it. Fun and beautiful show. Pray it gives a renewal.

    So, after some thinking, I'm going to propose we construct our own scripting language. It sounds like a daunting task, but quite honestly the language does not have to be that complicated. All the guys do, typically, are check for values in some HL7 field or fields, then assign a string value...

    Yeah, you're preaching to the choir, brother. Problem is, I'm the only dev on the team that has actually worked with this stuff. The others are clueless and are just designing based on the requirements given by the even more clueless product owners. FHIR is very interesting. I hadn't heard...

    Hey, I worked with an Allscripts analyst once. If remember correctly, they did pretty much the same type of work as we. Do you know what they use/used for mapping HL7 data?

    That's my fear is that we'll constantly have to update the tool to accommodate some special condition at site X. One thing I learned is that we have no spine. Management consistently folds to a client's demands.

    It's intended for our people in the implementation department, not the customer. They need to be able to map fields in our software to a field or fields in the HL7 message. However, it is often not a simple one-to-one relationship. Quite often we need to go through multiple conditionals...

    Yeah, we're going to face a mutiny when the implementation guys see our proposal. Again, they're used to the flexibility of a programming language in order to get the job done. Forcing them to use a UI-based scripting "language" is not going to go over well. What I suggested in the past...

    I've got a whopper of a project we're working on for this release and I seriously don't believe it's feasible. First, some background: as I mentioned previously, our product is used in hospital systems. One of the features of this product is that we can transmit HL7 data to the hospital's...

    So, back in 2008 our company re-developed our bread-and-butter application from an old school VB6 desktop app to Silverlight. Big mistake because we're now paying for it as more browsers disallow the plugin. We now have a team investigating which technologies and frameworks to rebuild the...
