The main incentive for me to work out was getting my body into a better shape to improve my confidence and enlarge my dating pool. However, after I experienced the plethora of its other benefits, I can safely say it's no more about the

I had a period of a very nasty burnout that lead to depression. I started to feel better only after I begun excercing. Heavy, strength-focused type of excercises are a real cure for depression and bad mood. They siginificantly increase the

People are overly sensitive. Linus was cool and very friendly and nice person most of the time on the mailing lists. Very very rarely he writes those furious replies, but honestly, it was very fun. I just don't understand why people ar

I had been, not long ago, through a crippling depression that I fought by myself. Initially, it crippled me to the point of not being able to get up from bed and start my day (I spent the whole weekend on bed, feeling terribly sad, regretfu

It's the harsh reality but I completely agree on your take. As you summed it up, "You wouldn't drag around a broken leg". How did you approach this issue? Did you manage to create a strong social circle outside of work?

I think WFH could be a blessing when you have a family. I still like WFH to a certain extent because I get more focused and more productive. But it has one major drawback: for solo people, like me, living alone, far from friends and family,

I am a short male in my mid twenties and I am also getting to the same conclusion. If you're short, you need to work harder. There is no chance you can be unfit, fat or awekward. You will be screwed. But honestly, sometimes I feel like

For the first question, it can be done in various ways. It can be done by the firmware or the bootloader for you, or you can do it by yourself once the platform jumps to your kernel code upon machine startup. For the second question, you ju

If you are running your OS on a VM hypervisor (e.g.; Qemu, kvmtool), then you can just use virtio for disk and network I/O. No boring and complex device specification (e.g.; ATA) to implement.

I am in my mid twenties and I spent every birthday in the last few years in a lonely dark room by myself. I am amazed I am still mentally sane at this point in my life xD. I also live in a forgein country with no friends, family or partner.

The Algerian system is known for its highly notorious and absurd bureaucracy that makes no sense in most of the cases. It's a very sad thing. Even within the country, the level of bureaucracy and administrative burden is astounding. It

I am from Algeria. I've been to Tipasa multiple times when I was a student in Algiers, the capital, since it was a very short ride. Tipasa has a truly magical coast, with all the amazing Numidian, Roman and Byzantine ruins, but also th

It's funny how the UK and Germany are growing with the same rate. I checked 10 minutes later and they were 56/57, then I did it again few minutes later and they were 67/68.

I have an Intel I9 workstation machine, I use it mainly for developement. Let me tell you something: it's the most horrible machine I've ever had in terms of performance (based on compiling a very large C code base).

So, for you, it won't be enough until Go (and possibly every other language that is different from Rust) is "rustified" and turned into a rust-like clone? ... just why? And BTW, Go is very safe! it has automatic memory manage

It is clear that inline assembly is mostly needed in situations where the compiler doesn't implicitly know how to generate assembly instructions for your use case. For example, let's say an operating system's kernel has a pro

On Linux, a conceptually similar idea to the loopback socket could safely and efficiently be implemented with epoll(). The epoll instance itself is a poll-able file descriptor that can be fed to epoll() alongside the sockets. When a new soc
