I don't know. In my only actual programming job in the early 90s I worked with some great MUMPS developers who happened to be female and they were at a far higher percentage of the developers I worked with than listed in the survey. I'm just pointing out that the demographics of the SO survey may not really represent what the programming community is, so what they say as what they like may not be reality.

That's true. It's been a real help in (re)learning Python.

Take a look at the demographics of the people that responded. Overwhelmingly male, average age is 29, half have been coding for less than 5 years, and almost half don't have at least a BS degree in CS.

Oh, I found it *eyeroll*

The link for "most loved" at SO takes me to "compensation by technology" which merely shows pay. And doesn't even list Swift.

Releasing the source code would actually made it worse for the compatibles - in order to prevent infringement, the clones had to reverse engineer the BIOS in a clean room fashion, so no looking at the source code at all.

But I've gotten 6 or 7 MBps downloads. I'm not that concerned about uploads though I haven't had a problem with them.

Just like open source developers.

Because they're afraid they might sustain injury by cow (other) and need treatment.

Think of makers more as open source software developers - it'll scratch the itch they have. It may or may not be suitable for someone outside the community, and it would be a lot of work to make use of it. Doesn't make it bad, just different.

Know, ask, or was able to find out? In some cases the doctor will pre-approve you for a procedure. In doing to, they should be sending what will be happening and what they will bill for.

That sounds more like a problem with the insurance company than the medical provider. I have a high-deductible insurance and I've been notified well in advance of the amount they covered and the amount that I'm responsible for (which itself may be different than what the original bill amount was). Looking at a cough may be a simple transaction, but if it turns out the person has lung cancer the ICD-10 codes will start piling up. By describing procedures in a consistent way you can ensure that billing is actually more open, since you can go to various providers and say "how much for a V97.33XD?" and get an answer back on what they'd bill.

It's not easy now, and ICD-10 was only recently implemented in a lot of places (despite being out for 20 years), but it should make things easier over time.

So how does a makerspace address this? Don't get me wrong, I like going to the one near me as I help them with Linux and they help me with electronics, but they don't have Solidworks installed to do the simulations described up top.

I gave an example and backed it up with my personal experience with the caveat that this is about EMRs and not wait times, which an EMR can't really help much with. I'm not seeing much in the way of examples to counter the statements I made.
