Ah yes “the poors don’t deserve to afford toilet paper because market forces and capitalism!”

It’s amazing what tech bros making 6 figures will say from their ivory towers.

While I agree that it’s quite common these days for people to use ADHD as an excuse for why they can’t do X, in this case I don’t think your dismissal of others’ symptoms is fair. It’s generally true that people with ADHD are unable to form and maintain routines without significant external incentives and that maintaining those incentives is a precarious and exhausting endeavour. As many others in this thread have noted, they lack habit forming momentum and end up quickly depleting their “willpower” since it’s constantly necessary for even the smallest of everyday tasks. Their routines are also easily disrupted by a change in external input and it can be quite hard to recover.

That said, different people experience more or less severe symptoms and if you are able to tolerate ADHD medication it can significantly reduce the effort required.

Not really, calling KVM a type-1 is a misunderstanding of what the “bare-metal” distinction is referring to. The real difference between the two types is whether the hypervisor owns the hardware or not. In the case of a type-1, the hypervisor runs below the kernel and controls access to the hardware, even for the kernel. In type-2, the hypervisor runs on the kernel, which owns the hardware, and must go through the kernel to use hardware resources.

This is an odd take. From what I understand from the article it’s a 90% chance of healing, after which you can still get surgery — which doesn’t heal but restores some functionality by grafting from another tendon. I’d imagine athletes would be particularly interested in trying this new treatment prior to considering surgery.

Isn’t everything in Unix/Linux already a file? Isn’t that the power of Unix? There’s even a Wikipedia article about it: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Everything_is_a_file#:~:text....

I feel like I must be missing something. It seems to me (just from reading this post) that if you need algebraic effects you’ve probably painted yourself into a corner and should probably reconsider your program’s architecture. It seems like a good way obscure what the code is really doing and end up with poorly organised spaghetti code. In the post he’s effectively making a function async while pretending it’s not, or calling a callback but making the top level code’s problem instead of encapsulating in the associated type. I’m sure there’s uses for algebraic effects down the line I haven’t thought of, but I don’t understand why these would be desired outcomes?

Panic is not a rust-specific term, it generally refers to software halting intentionally because something has gone so wrong that you can’t reasonably recover. For example, some safety invariant is violated or core data is corrupted. Kernel panics (also called bug checks or BSODs in Windows, same concept) exist in all OSes by necessity.

Isn’t there a 2TB dump of Reddit posts and comments as of February 2023? Couldn’t you that instead of the API to seed your site’s content as a workaround to the TOS?

Panics have a place in systems programming — all operating systems panic when fundamental guarantees are violated.
