You care. That's why, instead of owning up to your stupidity, you tried to deflect attention from the fact that you posted a comment that was phenomenally stupid. Real men respond with a mia culpa, not with something in a way Trump would respond when caught with his metaphorical pants down.
You should learn about software development. You entire post is based on uninformed conjecture. Furthermore, the "lead time" on the project described is infinity, since they never acheived the goal and are in no danger of doing so. You also seem to assume that I would be writing everything from scratch, rather than leveraging FOSS. I wouldn't be writing my own database system. I also wouldn't be doing it alone. I would be using an efficient team.
Wait... What was their budget again? Epic was the only choice? You can't be serious. I could come in, do proper requirements gathering, and come up with a system that was HIPAA compliant, easy to use, and met all the needs of patient and staff, for a whole lot less than that, I assure you.
So what you are saying is the same thing I said in different words? Clearly "Epic" was the wrong choice... A choice that was made by people who knew someone from Epic, rather than choosing someone who knew not to go with Epic.
The computer is never the problem. People like you, who blame the computer for doing what the humans told it to, are the problem. I would bet my dick against a dollar you have never successfully implemented a system like this in your life.
That is what the pilot phase addresses. "This seemed like a no brainier, but the user doesn't have the same kind of brain, nor the background understanding we assumed in the initial requirements spec"
All of these issues would have been identified during the pilot phase. The issue you are referring to is poor requirements specification. Dependencies and required / not required specs specifically.
It wasn't that computers are less efficient than old school / antiquated methods. It was a matter of incompetence. Before the transition all people involved should have been properly trained. They shouldn't have made a mass transition to the new system, but rather should have piloted it with a small group of the best in class as the first users, who would then be in a position to help their colleagues thereby greatly minimizing the need to involve IT. The data imports should have been tested properly. Printing issues should have been resolved in the piloting phase. Basically, everything was done wrong, but at least the Hospital Administrator's nephew got a new job out of the deal! (I don't know about that last point, but I do know non-tech people hire people they know, not people *who* know.
You don't know that it gets harder with age right now... But you will realize that it does eventually. Really this should be obvious. Just go to a nursing home and ask if everyone if they are still as "quick on their feet", mentally, as they were in their youth
Most people have always been clueless. The term luser didn't come from nowhere. The difference today is that everyone thinks they are "good with technology", and they are generally using 2 or more platforms. For example they use iOS or Android and Windows, as well as Linux on devices they don't even know run Linux. Add to that your worst issue, that Windows 10 is a major clusterfuck, and things decline rapidly. As we get older it get a bit (or byte or word:-) more difficult because the brain does degrade non-linearly but with surety. So it isn't an either or scenario. Circumstances conspire, but you can safely conclude that your abilities *are* declining, but not so much as the need pool is filling up. HTH
Which part of "Don't be a moron by setting your Kconfig option to default to Y for obscure and non-critical drivers" do you not understand? How would abandoning meritocracy for corpratocracy help?
Surrounding a word with asterisks is the old school way to indicate bold face in mediums that don't support it, like... Wait for it... The LKML. It is hardly any indication of a pending mental breakdown.
No, the actual problem here is he sugar-coated the fact that the submitter was a fucktwat who has no business developing kernel code. No doubt you also fall into this category, or you wouldn't be so worried about how such fucktwats get treated.
That was either an example of someone who literally doesn't understand math, or someone who is so fucking stupid he believes Trump is a legitimate business man, in the face of overwhelming evidence that he is a criminal. Either way we are all lucky that, while your ignorance and stupidity got us to where we are, you have lost all power to perpetuate the madness.

You are an incompetent idiot who assumes everyone else is too.

I'm the OP dumbfuck

Is there any reason you thought it was necessary to repeat what I said using different words?

You are free to use it if you follow standard etiquette and attribute it to me.

Yep ... and how much do you want to bet that he didn't choose to be offended? :-)
That's not the way life works, but I do agree that "ask hundreds of random old people" is what I should have said.

Shut the fuck up you moron
We know you still can't figure it out, but even a moderately competent person can understand it in under an hour.
Which part of "Don't be a moron by setting your Kconfig option to default to Y for obscure and non-critical drivers" do you not understand? How would abandoning meritocracy for corpratocracy help?
What did he do for the other 29 days?

And yet the Dahli Lama would not take the offense you tried to force upon him.

Their work hasn't prepared them to deal with anything as small as your balls.
