> With an IDE like Clion + Rust Plugin, the code writes itself. If there is any point to emphasize, it is this one. Writing Rust without a nicely tuned IDE is almost as slow as writing it using pen and paper. Because abstractions are “ze

I am not out here reading SNPs like tarot cards. I wanted to play around with BAM files and it is much more engaging to play around with my own BAM file versus downloading one from a website. It is also about data ownership. The value of a

If you want some personal motivation to get into genomics, you can get your whole genome sequenced for a few hundred bucks and play around with the raw files yourself. I used Dante Labs[1] and they are great. You can even ask them to delete

Yes, I apologize for using the incorrect label. iMessage is not end-to-end encrypted for most people. The point I was trying to make still stands. The recovery options are a form of key escrow. They require a recovery code. As I'm sure

This is a common pattern I’ve anecdotally seen in myself and others with ADHD. It’s not just sound, but any sort of background stimulation can help me focus. You can’t play brown noise in a meeting, but you sure can play with a fidget cube

The key difference as outlined in the article is that Box::new cannot fail in Rust, but the underlying malloc can. In userspace it is rare enough that a Rust panic is considered acceptable behavior, but this is not the case for the kernel.

Another reason I find that mentality harmful is because it treats ADHD as a separable “thing”, as if I could imagine what kind of person I’d be without it. It’s fundamental to my cognition! It just is. I find it a waste of time to try to as

In-memory compression means the memory is inherently dirty memory On Apple platforms if you mmap a read-only file into the process address space, then it is "clean" memory. It is clean because the kernel can drop it at any time be
