How to negotiate with software vendors who do not follow HL7 standards That's probably our problem, too often, and in fact all the time, we are the "Interface Spec Takers" not the "Interface Spec Makers", is that common for EHR Software? We'd like to say, just follow the spec, but pretty much the only thing we write in to contracts is "we refuse to parse free text", which is the most abhorrent detail. |

Memory concerns while plotting escape from DLL Hell in Delphi @GrandmasterB good point, that'll affect the overhead, I edited it in there. It's quite a bit, but there aren't a lot of other resources that aren't already loaded at runtime. |

Do programmers possess the means of production? @Giorgio that, my friend, sounds just about perfect |

What should developers know about Windows executable binary file compression? Also, it doesn't say what the tradeoffs are, only the benefits. If there weren't tradeoffs why wouldn't my linker compress the file? |

What should developers know about Windows executable binary file compression? Did you look at the website I linked to? Does it say anything about dynamically linking DLLs? No. does it say anything about compressing DESCENT 2? Yes. Does it say anything about compressing Netscape 4.06? Yes. |

What is a widely accepted term for a string variable that would probably contain a file path and file name? Do absoluteFilePath and relativeFilePath in this context only mean the path of the directory? Or do they include the file as well? |

What is a widely accepted term for a string variable that would probably contain a file path and file name? @kevincline I'm using the "exclusive and" operator |

User defined type for healthcare / Medical Records variable name prefixes? Well, I asked the question specifically with the Code Complete in mind. According to it, using other languages is bad and using unintelligible abbreviations is not so good. |

User defined type for healthcare / Medical Records variable name prefixes? I'm not talking about using abbreviations for entire variables I'm talking about using abbreviations for prefixes of variable names like medPRN instead of medicationPRN. But yeah it's safer and cleaner, but it also can get substantially above 20 characters, where apparently productivity is diminished. |

User defined type for healthcare / Medical Records variable name prefixes? That's good advice, but I'd like an answer, not a generic suggestion. Also, their abbreviations are either morbidly terse or just plain old Latin. Hence PRN means as needed, and BID means twice a day. |
