It’s also noted as an off label treatment for ADHD as well by some doctors.

Being curious I ran some basic grepping and wc on the Ion Shell project. It has about 2.19% of function declarations that use Rc or Arc in the definition. That is pretty low. Naive grepping for `&` assuming most are borrows seems (exclu

Definitely true! Probably add Swift to that list as well. Apple has been pushing to use Swift in WebKit in addition to C++. Actually Nim2 and Swift both use automatic reference counting which is very similar to using C++’s SharedPointer or

Tailscale ‘serve’ works well at my startup. SSL and DNS still but unlike funnel it’s limited to your tailscale network.

Exactly when a group like Hamas controls your home and brutally executes any dissidents or even suspected dissidents in public on a routine basis it’s difficult for any individual to fight back [1], almost worse is torture and maiming of an

The US already cracked down on mixer Tornado Cash [1]. Wouldn’t surprise me if they (try to) follow suit on privacy coins as well. There’s a chance there’s enough political influence by libertarian/crypto folks in the US to push back t

Sure, but the parent’s comment hits on something perhaps. All the tech giants contribute more haphazardly and for their own internal uses. Valve does seem somewhat rare position of making a proper Linux distro work well with games. Google’s

Glad to hear one programming community is handling the issues in what sounds like a healthy way. It also requires actual human effort though, so it's difficult to do. People hate doing difficult things and prefer to be part of "wi

It can be difficult to find low dose melatonin unfortunately. Especially in slow release. Often kids sleep tablets are better. Also kids chewable gummies can be cut in half to get an effective dosage. I've not found a good long release

The steering committee folks sound like a microcosm of a communist poliburo. Aiming for who can be the most offended over imaginary slights. I'm glad as An American tax payer that we're not funding an organization with such petty

There will be consequences, but long term. Everyone at my startup hates MSFT products and Teams especially. We've talked about switching.

True, but water desalination plants also exist and Iran has plenty of oil to power them.

Seems a naive simplistic philosophy. The UK is larger than South Korea and has a similar population size. Yet South Korea has outcompeted the UK and US in ship building. By most accounts by investing in advanced technology and ship building

It's hard to manage a water supply and economy in Tehran when your top minds are busy running proxy wars in Lebanon and Iraq and funding or supporting ones in Syria, Yemen, and Gaza [1, 2]. It's sad to such a great people subjugat

Never under estimate China. AP News says China expected 270M cross region trips during the Chinese new year this year. Likely with millions out of Beijing alone by itself for this yearly event over 2 weeks.

Tryout Nim, it has powerful comptime/metaprogramming, statically typed, automatic memory management and is as easy to program as python or javascript while still allowing low level stuff. For me it'd be hard to go back to language

That'd make a good sci-fi story. A world where science can keep anyone alive almost indefinitely but not their full faculties. So you get more and more "zombies" of barely alive senile elderly. Also if I was a writer I'd

In my mind, Donald Knuth is the trad programmer. Though I hear he sometimes uses a computer.

Which of course means humans will use it for those decisions until there’s some lawsuits and maybe some laws.

Tricks on them! My scooter is steam powered and uses bitcoin mining to produce the steam. ;) Actually, now I want to build this. Maybe if these Qualcomm chips are cheap enough.

Well first question to my mind is does a CPM actually help? There's a lot of waste in American Healthcare on expensive but fairly useless treatments. My guess was that a CPM might fall into this category (I did PhD research in bio mech

Sure it's very distinct but the vibe still feels more *BSD due to that early userland. That shared heritage runs deep. I'd also say it also feels more like Solaris/Illumos. Linux has just always had a very different vibe to i

That is SI? Well metric. Sounds like the liganization process uses electricity to create. There’s similar units used in electrochemistry to indicate how much energy is required.

Eh, I feel the opposite. Finder is much more usable to me, but of course I use the shortcuts like cmd-up to go up or down instinctively now. It is a bit ironic for such a mouse oriented OS everywhere else. Still alt-clicking on the window t

The BDFL Araq is the primary creator but there's a small team of paid core developers. There's also a number of open source contributors. So it's a commercial project as well. They offer support contracts too. > If it is c
