GHC seems to be more of a platform for crafting your own language than rust. Yes, rust nightly has experimental features that can enabled, but they seem to have gone through more vetting and design, whereas in GHC the features seem to be mu

If you are going to have intimate contact with more than a few people (perhaps even just a few) the doctors I have talked to recommend getting the vaccine.

There are many strains of HPV, the vaccine prevents several of the worst but not all strains. Even if you are already infected with one strain it makes sense to get the vaccine to not become infected with the others.

Anecdotally, usage is highly regionalized, and is generally met with cultural resistance leading into exceptsnce per area. I started using it in San Francisco I’m 2013, before it was completely normalized. It has spread from major metropoli

It's not so bad for the individuals who are paying 10% of their income, it is bad for US taxpayers who are as I understand this article collectively liable for that burden in 25 years.

This article focuses on a man who took out ~600k in loans to become an orthodontist. That interest has since compounded to 1mm. I would imagine he took the loans out because becoming an orthodontist was his highest-paying career option. Had

It's absurd that becoming a medical professional requires saddling yourself with an exorbitant amount of debt. My doctor friends advise people contemplating med school not to go for this reason. It's incredibly sad that the econom

This article focuses on someone who went into debt for dental school. I prefer the idea of an educated dentist to dentists without diplomas. All that said, I agree with your sentiment, college is for many people completely unnecessary. As p

Upon further reading I find myself chuckling and agreeing with your thesis statement: "There is a depraved desire in all of us to use our momentary power to achieve final victory."

If the left has achieved cultural dominance, why has it not achieved political dominance? I think that divide speaks to the argument that bigotry is dangerous and powerful. I agree that there can certainly be a chilling from leftist critiqu

The rebuttal is literally "long form tweets" ( https://twitter.com/anildash/status/941431220952584196 ). Sam's post is presumably something he edited and had people check over before he posted it. T

I agree that forgiveness is powerful. I also linked to that page because it shows a balanced view intentionally. It is easier for one to be forgiving when the problem is abstract and one's life is not directly threatened by the intoler
