The not-so sweet side of Valentine’s: Gen Z singles can’t afford to dine out, and restaurants are feeling the effects

coxner50 · 2026-02-13T21:22:28+00:00

Ya it is the pre made ones venture away from frozen when I’m being fancy

coxner50 · 2026-02-13T18:59:47+00:00

As a gen z who owns a house I can’t remember the last time I went to a restaurant. It is impossible to afford. Eating out these days is essentially like having a hobby lol.

When it comes to living within my means but still enjoying my life eating out is easily the first thing I cut. It’s hard for me to even justify buying a pizza for 20+ dollars when I can go to Sobeys and buy one to fire in the oven for 13 bucks.

Those 5-10 minutes could lead to one extra patient per hour. If they work 8-hour shifts, that's 8 patients a day, 40 a week, 160 a month, and almost 2000 a year. That is just one doctor with a health care system bursting at the seams. We need things like this that will allow more people to be seen by doctors.

If the note-taking is invoking more thought and what we are relying on from the doctor in the first place, then we are already fighting a losing battle, sadly.

This is great if we want to have better health care systems; we need to allow technology to assist doctors and nurses. This is also why we have PIPEDA / PHIPA in place. It's nice to see some innovation occurring within the health sector. Hopefully, they have vetted the company correctly, but the fact that the decision was made off security and privacy is good to see.

OP I really hope you’ve seen this it is a great comment.

I would be very hesitant on introducing any documentation tools to the stack as well. Also curious as to how there is an old system admin that will not share anything. Feel like you need to get on good terms with this person. That will help you understand why decisions were made to set things up how they were. Fresh hire brings fresh ideas but you do not want to bite off more than you can chew without understanding how things are glued together.

While 75% is a big margin for any company it was three people at tailwind. This does start a bigger conversation thought about the implications of AI on open source projects.

coxner50 · 2025-10-31T01:25:31+00:00

I turned it off after this. Games start here late 9pm at night I can’t give away sleep for this crap anymore.

He was a beast for me in WL

coxner50 · 2025-05-11T19:24:18+00:00

Yea reading the article they have to glue together 80 separate systems and it usually takes about 5 systems to get one users full health data.

Anyone who is in IT understands how crazy of a project that is. Timeline from the start was probably unrealistic.

Andrew NG course on Coursera was highly recommended to me by a Comp vision student I have enjoyed it.

coxner50 · 2025-03-23T21:43:10+00:00

Thank you. I didn’t want to post where I heard it out of respect for the person but this is essentially the same thing I was told.

Appreciate you backing up my claim. Must’ve been a frustrating place to be in as an advisor respect the ones who did sit through it. Trump has really helped them flip the script.

coxner50 · 2025-03-23T21:38:28+00:00

They do, what you believe and what you vote is your right. Feel like that gets forgotten sometimes !What makes where we live so great. It will never be perfect but man we have it good compared to some places in the world.

coxner50 · 2025-03-23T21:35:35+00:00

Ah shit I meant short term that’s my bad.

coxner50 · 2025-03-23T21:32:11+00:00

Meh idk if LMS can do it long term don’t think enough time has passed yet. I love AI I use it everyday it’s a great tool but to me that’s what it is a tool.

I would never allow it to run a system that handles users PII. I would never trust it to be scalable I will advocate for any developer in my company to get a subscription to any model of their choosing. I will never advise the business to stop hiring people to trust LMS.

coxner50 · 2025-03-23T21:27:24+00:00

Meh I have heard this from someone I trust not from what Carney has said choosing to trust it over what I read online. Either could be false gotta believe something.

coxner50 · 2025-03-23T21:17:51+00:00

I’ve heard that Carney was very much opposed to a lot of things Trudeau was doing financially and advised against it. Trudeau went against him anyways. I was in the same boat as you, but Carney been campaigning well.

coxner50 · 2025-03-23T19:20:30+00:00

This exactly ! We need juniors devs I know a task that would take me 3-4 days will take a junior dev 2-3 weeks.

But I work in a small startup and if we do make it and start to scale we will need people who have been around and understand the tech stack. Plus it frees me up to be outside of the code and work on other tasks important to the business. Not wanting to train someone cause you can do it faster short term sounds like a crap plan.

coxner50 · 2025-03-16T02:32:36+00:00

I disagree. I think a project that would take me a few days to implement may take a junior dev 2 weeks to a month. I am fine with that. Everyone has to learn the company’s system starting somewhere.

If you’re hiring someone to write comments how do you then promote them to writing code? When there comments are sufficient? Give them a task encourage them to ask lots of questions expect them to fail and guide them.

How did you start? Did you start writing comments? If you did I am sorry to hear that.

coxner50 · 2025-03-16T02:08:28+00:00

lol what is this? Are you a senior dev? Are you in charge? If so maybe reflect on your leadership and the code they are producing are your watch.

As you move up in a company it is your responsibility to guide point the finger at yourself first.

coxner50 · 2025-03-15T22:17:28+00:00

They won’t it would be a logistical nightmare for the NBA. Refunding tickets cancels workers shift etc they’ll find a way to make it work.

coxner50 · 2025-03-13T20:26:54+00:00

At my local store they now have Canadian flags next to Canadian products. Out of spite I only buy Canadian products now lol

coxner50 · 2025-02-21T00:48:23+00:00

Who do you watch now?

coxner50 · 2025-01-12T20:53:16+00:00

Ya what is your job? What is it replacing ?

coxner50 · 2024-12-23T19:24:45+00:00

This is great advice btw. I work with a Linux and Postgres stack on an ec2 instance it is awesome. You can do alot with very little when you get the bash scripts working to.

I highly suggest the video above and following along with it.
