Walking Away from a Rigged System – A Physician’s Stand for Medical Integrity DAVID NIXON MAR 21, 2025 “This case is not about me. It is about the survival of medicine as a profession. If ethical physicians are criminalised for practising evidence-based, patient-centred care, then medicine ceases to be a profession—it becomes an arm of political enforcement. If informed consent is discarded, and dissent is punished, then there is no medical ethics left to defend.” “What’s Next … 👉 The Journal of Bionanotechnocracy Coming soon at: http://www.journalbnt.orghttps://davidnixon.substack.com/p/walking-away-from-a-rigged-system

Day 243 of TypeScript/JS Only: switching back to #Golang 🤦‍♂️ I explored the toolchain, gave everything a good workout, compared alternatives, runtimes, potential CICD workflows… tsc, esbuild, deno.. When it all works, it’s ok. Janky and kludgy, but it works. When it doesn’t work: GOOD FUCKING LUCK OMFG 🤡 🌎 Good to have types, and not be working in JS, but there’s so much indirection it’s a house of cards with more hidden cost and risk than my 🧠 can tolerate

“”WE ARE NOT CORN! Kotlár’s outrage peaked with a rallying cry that’ll echo: "Slovaks, we are not corn!". "Moderna and Pfizer turned the vaccinated into genetically modified organisms… without their knowledge," he charged, slamming it as a "mega-scandal" and demanding an immediate ban and compensation. It’s a gut punch to the "safe and effective" line—think Japan’s Prof. Fukushima trashing mRNA as "evil practices of science",”” https://www.aussie17.com/p/breaking-news-slovak-government-official

Given looming 4G/5G via Starlink - is there a smaller, more mobile base station coming? OR can anyone recommend the Netgear Nighthawk M6 Pro, or a good solution to stick up on a portable tripod?

Ever since that first Netscape Navigator 2.0 release, I’ve been a #JavaScript sceptic. I’ve long suspected my brain is simply incompatible with this level of ambiguity, which is saying something as I worked with (and loved!) dynamically typed languages and runtime meta-class design 🤷‍♂️ As a Backend Engineer I’d been avoiding it like the plague, but year after year it’s popularity only grew, eventually taking over FullStack then Apps, then Infra and now Platform!?! 😱 I kept trying it, year after year: hated it. Eventually did a fair bit of paid work in Node, Vue and React: still hated it. So …. 8 months ago I forced myself to switch to #TypeScript /JS full-time, to try and figure out just what my brain is having trouble with, why do I (and only I?) hit so many random toolchain and IDE issues, random corruptions, dependency cycles from hell, etc. ??? I’ve now spent 6-8 weeks trying to get a simple string.replace(//) to not just work locally and in all of my tests, but now that I’m deploying it to prod it also needs to work when invoked as a node22js Lambda!! 😂🤣😭 Gotta be async shenanigans (am I not already waiting for every Promise?) but OMG every time I fix one thing something else breaks, or cache corrupts, or IDE starts misbehaving… now I’ve migrated to deno and esbuild from tsc and have new issues on top of the old ones 🎉 I’m so glad I did this, for so many reasons both personal and professional, but Imma look into that WASM PoC next … I miss #Golang ! 🫂
