Docker swarm mode (still around) != docker swarm (cancelled). Poorly named so the confusion is normal

While a good looking service, it seems pretty expensive unless you’re willing to donate your data to research?

Yeah, when I used it in the past, that was the case. However, when I used it, they didn't have donating your data to research as an option. Look here: https://help.picnichealth.com/t/y4hh8lr/how-much-does-picnic...

It's free if you have one the conditions they're looking for or they accept you to be part of a research group

I mean, if you use open source apps that build on top of healthcare interoperability data formats like HL7 FHIR, you can get automated data pulls from EHRs while being able to just switch apps later.

Fasten Health (mentioned in a previous comment) is probably your best bet. It automatically syncs with your EMR and pulls your lab results automatically. You can manually upload your own data in a bunch of cases.

If you’re looking for another open-source and free alternative, I’m building Mere Medical which is not quite as developed as Fasten but takes a local-first approach and still connects to 2000+ healthcare institutions.

What's an EMR? Where is it stored?

EMR = Electronic Medical Records a.k.a your hospitals computer system.

Mere is a PWA stores all of your records in localStorage in your browser, data is not stored on any server.

If this is localStorage then it is hardly persistent. A cleanup of the browser will zing all the data without a warning.

Sorry, I meant indexeddb not localStorage, but yeah a cleanup would clear it as well. Mere supports data export/import though, and data loss hasn’t been much of an issue yet in practice.

The goal is to be able to back up and restore encrypted blobs to external storage (s3, Dropbox, etc) to mitigate this and enable sync across devices, but this isn’t implemented yet.

To be fair, physicians take their exams upfront instead of per job interviews: MCAT (7 hours long), STEP 1 (8 hours long), STEP 2 (9 hours long), STEP 3 (2 days), along with recertification exams every decade.

That's actually a lot better - take it once and be done for every workplace.

SV "technical" interviews are (perhaps) like being asked to retake a piece of the MCAT on a whiteboard at every interview.

Another alternative of course is the take-home exam where for 20 different companies you have to do 8 hours of work for them without compensation.
