I read the post and didn’t see where in it he tells us how he turned 1k into 700MM.

Why Perl? 3 years ago

PACER -- the system that runs electronic dockets and service for all federal courts runs on perl.

It is sad that I have to mention it, but it has absolutely nothing to do with their race, but with opportunities.

As if access to opportunities has nothing to do with race.

PACER Fetch APIs 7 years ago

The RECAP project is a great project, and highly recommend its use.

But PACER charges 10 cents per page for access and I don't have a problem with that. These fees keep the federal courts open to do vital business when Congress decides it's a good time for a shutdown. Any complaints re: PACER fees should be directed to Congress.

I'm a lawyer who can code. Here's how I have used that skill:

* MS VB Macros for automating how my documents look and what they do

* Basic sync scripts that sync folders locally > server and vice versa

* An app to keep track of the my frequently used rules: trial rules dot com

* A website to keep track of various developments in my area law [internal to my firm]

* A PDF app that automates basic tasks [batestamping, adding exhibit stickers, etc]

Edit for spelling/formatting.

Medical malpractice lawyer here:

Setting aside the sensational headline, this seems a reasonable result. According to the article, the hospitalist who did not see the patient decided to (a) opine that her symptoms were due to some other, incorrect cause; and (b) override the decision of the doctor who actually saw the patient. Why shouldn't this individual have accountability for the harm that he caused? He wants to make life or death decisions without so much as examining the patient and he doesn't want to be held responsible for those decisions. How is that fair?

I like the Touch Bar. I use it all the time contextually in whatever app I am using. For regular, non-tech users, I've noticed that they use it too. It allows those folks to quickly access options that were previously keyboard shortcuts.

As an aside, I also enjoy the quick access to emojis.‍

I have duckduckgo set on my phone. Recently, I started discovering that when I clicked a google search result link on my phone, google would mask that link and wouldn't actually take me to the webpage. Annoying. DDGo doesn't do this.
