It was too long ago to write a review, however the phrase that I first encountered in that book and has stuck with me since is 'semantic dissonance'. In the field of software development, this means that we have two (or more!) _incompatible_ models of the same real-world situation. This happens a lot in healthcare IT. The latest and greatest standard for data exchange is [Fast Healthcare Interoperability Records](https://hl7.org/fhir/) (FHIR). Many healthcare IT suppliers are being pushed towards exposing their data over this standardised format, and they have to handle mapping from their own internal models to the standard and back again. These mappings are sometimes irreversible, i.e. mapping forward then backward again does not result in the same exact result as the input. They might also be lossy; i.e. a concept exists in one model which does not exist in the other at all, or a concept with a similar meaning but subtly different exists. diff --git a/content/posts/2023-04-09-designing-data-intensive-applications.md b/content/posts/2023-04-09-designing-data-intensive-applications.md index 03c9da7..cfef735 100644 --- a/content/posts/2023-04-09-designing-data-intensive-applications.md +++ b/content/posts/2023-04-09-designing-data-intensive-applications.md @@ -2,6 +2,8 @@ title: "Book - Designing Data Intensive Applications" date: 2023-04-09T21:45:01+01:00 draft: false +params: + comments: true --- [Link](https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/designing-data-intensive-applications/9781491903063/) to the book. diff --git a/content/posts/2023-06-16-bike.md b/content/posts/2023-06-16-bike.md index d7d8d85..579e680 100644 --- a/content/posts/2023-06-16-bike.md +++ b/content/posts/2023-06-16-bike.md @@ -2,6 +2,8 @@ title: "Bike 2" date: 2023-06-16T21:04:31+01:00 draft: false +params: + comments: true --- I haven't posted about my bike for a while; there have been a couple of changes. diff --git a/content/posts/2023-08-11-4-eyes.md b/content/posts/2023-08-11-4-eyes.md index 0ba76ef..ebf6c14 100644 --- a/content/posts/2023-08-11-4-eyes.md +++ b/content/posts/2023-08-11-4-eyes.md @@ -2,6 +2,8 @@ title: "Four Eyes" date: 2023-08-11T22:50:43+01:00 draft: false +params: + comments: true --- The four-eyes principle (also known as [two-man rule](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-man_rule) or no-lone-zone) stipulates that for certain very critical operations like the launch of a nuclear weapon or the handling of very sensitive cryptographic key material, at least two qualified persons must be actively involved. diff --git a/content/posts/2023-08-22-comments-2.md b/content/posts/2023-08-22-comments-2.md index 9e5df20..dd97bba 100644 --- a/content/posts/2023-08-22-comments-2.md +++ b/content/posts/2023-08-22-comments-2.md @@ -2,6 +2,8 @@ title: "Comments 2" date: 2023-08-22T14:48:41+01:00 draft: false +params: + comments: true --- [Previously](/posts/2022-12-30-comments/) I added a basic comment system to my website using a separate web server which served only the comment HTML.
