This is like written IT shortcut like i18n or k8s. Just need to know first character, last character, and the length

I thought this was a joke, but looking at the picture again this absolutely might be the case.

Pa_____l

Impressive!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The last letter even is a "L" . Pa--------l, couldnt be clearer

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I didn't think it looked like an L at all, because I was thinking "cursive". Connecting all the letters together for efficiency is the point of cursive.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Oh, I read at as cursive too. Just that the loop of the l at the end is extremly small.

Internalization and Kubernetes have the two worst acronyms in the industry and should not be used as a how to guide.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I disagree. I think anyone who's worked with either will recognize i18n or k8s. They're unambiguous, memorable, and search well. That's more than can be said about most acronyms. The alternative for single words is to use just part of the word (like intrn or kube) and I think those are less memorable and more ambiguous.

k8s sounded ok until other related software started using the same convention. now we have k3s, k9s, k2s and probably more

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Oh man this is so bad

My 3rd world SEA cuntry now uses computerised online prescription systems, even in the smallest government clinics. Cuts down on transcription errors and allows the physician to review your medical history before prescribing anything.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My 3rd world country has been working on it for over 10 years. And now old (retired) people have it... So the rest of us any day now.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

My 3rd world country hasn’t even conceived of this.

Somehow, the pharmacist can fill it without even needing to ask the doctor what it says.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Omg what if it's a feature not a bug, a coded script as a defence against non Dr. Prescriptions.

The existence of legible doctors disproves it, but I enjoyed the thought enough to share.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm reminded of the episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm when Larry got a doctor's phone number and couldn't read it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Lmfao, I only ever get bits and pieces from this show but it sounds pretty funny

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

Me at the pharmacist: "I don't know, it clearly says 'cocaine' to me".

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

I think he had a stroke. He should see another doctor.
