Industry Watch: Developers: First, do no harm

Boyd said he worked in medical technology for a year. While doing that, he said, “Everyone I worked with realized the implications when we got it wrong, that people’s lives were on the line. So, people are aware that this isn’t just ordering an airline ticket, that if you mistype an algorithm, if you do things sloppy, people can suffer or there can be bad outcomes.” Of course, no software is without bugs, but the ways defects are prioritized and impacts are assessed are fundamental decisions made on a daily basis. And today, Boyd said, “We’re using judgments; we don’t have norms.”
See no evil, speak no evil, hear no evil...

What a f*cking web design used by SD Times! No scroll bar available, no function of mouse wheel, and using the arrow keys doesn't work either. Can't read that article thanks to the stupidity of their web designer. And that web site is for IT professionals? Really?

I've never had a problem, but I typically am on my desktop. I do hate how they are riddled with ads though.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies. -- Sarah Hoyt
