Not sure I buy that explanation. Looking through this repo, the kernel, drivers, and many core libraries seem to be written from scratch with no dependencies. There are some deps for reading images, and other things outside of kernel/driver function, but this seems mostly written from ground up (A rust based OS could bind to a C/C++ png or sound file library in the same way).

Writing an OS is a fiddly task to say the least. It's one thing to be motivated to create an OS regardless of language (such as this), vs let's create one to showcase a language. It's harder to recruit people for the latter frankly, and having written OS and kernel code, it's fiddly work that more people talk about then actually enjoy doing it over the long haul.

Also in defense of Redox, I think it has far different goals, rather than getting something up and running with interactivity quickly. SkiftOS is much more "toy"/fun hacking vibe.

> I did fairly deep research on this beforehand, looking into actual pharmacological aspect of interactions with things like dopamine, etc

While you can read about mechanisms and in vitro this and that all day, this is not the same as quality applied clinical research, which frankly just doesn't exist in any meaningful quantity. I am a practitioner, and I am very sympathetic to the movement of alternative treatments counter to established standards of care, however at the end of the day it doesn't change the fact that the controlled research is non-existent or poor, and things like the MAPS manual are essentially woo.

And specifically the problems I have is that ironically, these alternative treatments which are supposedly trying to overcome boundaries of established care are extremely proscriptive themselves.. they're limited, just differently, and the justifications have very little evidence based backing.

That is not how safety margins work. Safety margins are meant to give a buffer for unforeseen circumstances, they are not a ticket to just cheat. With this logic... why stop at a 25A breaker (30 in the US)? Why not just plug a 20A device into a 100A breaker, or no breaker at all?

No safety margin can account for purposeful circumvention, which is what connecting a 15/20A outlet to a 30A circuit is.

There are X server implementations for Windows, Android, AmigaOS, Windows CE!!, etc... I don't think this is relevant.

> macOS has a POSIX layer. So do many systems, again including Windows in varying forms through the years. I think the salient issue is that BSD UNIX and "tradition" are conflicting. The point of the original CMU Mach project was to replace the BSD monolith kernel.

Anybody long enough to remember Unix from the beginning or even just the last 25 years... which is a tiny percentage of this site... should know that a unifying Unix or Unix "tradition" as noted in a follow-up comment is a pretty much a myth. The tradition is whatever system you grew up on and tribal biases you subscribe to and the only true Unix traditions are mostly trivialities like core shell syntax and a handful of commands, and a woefully underpowered API for modern purposes. And long option names are definitely not part of any tradition.

Myths like "everything is a file" or file descriptor is complete bollocks, mostly retconned recently with Linuxisms. Other than pipes, IPC on Unix systems did not involve files or file descriptors. The socket api dates to the early 80s and even it couldn't follow along with its weird ioctls. Why are things put in /usr/local anyway? Why is /usr even a thing? There's a history there, but these days I don't seem much of anything go into /usr/local on most Linux distributions.

It's also ironic to drag OS X into a discussion of Unix, because if there was one system to break with Unix tradition (for the best in some ways) -- no X11, launchd, a multifork FS, weird semantics to implement time machine, a completely non-POSIX low-level API, etc, that would be it.

All this shit has been reinvented multiple times, the user-mode API on Linux has had more churn than Windows -- which never subscribed to a tradition. There's no issue of lack of familiarity here, the original Unix system meant to run on a PDP-11 minicomputer only meets modern needs in an idealized fantasy-land. Meanwhile, worse is better has been chugging along for 50 years while people try to meet their needs.

> you're doing it wrong.

What else do you suggest that is liquid and essentially risk free? There is a purpose for this type of product. If not a high yield savings account, what is it?

For one, having known many posters on wsb personally, the number of people actually trading large positions vs the number participating in that forum is not the same.

Finally, people (apparently even the "informed" crowd here) greatly overestimate the difficulty of identifying individuals or actions in massive systems that are effectively recorded and completely surveilled, and they underestimate the resources of the feds. It's usually not that hard to whittle down to a handful of actions, and even if there are hundreds it only takes a tiny bit of taxpayer money to comb through it by hand.

They have had these for years in OR suites to dispense surgical scrub soap. They use an air bulb and tubing rather than mechanical link since that is much more durable and cheaper to replace. These obviously present an accessibility issue in public places that don't generally apply to ORs. I think the hand operated or IR is the good enough solution in most cases though.

> In reality you'd be one of thousands of people holding HTZ calls or TSLA puts in your Robinhood account. You could make a huge payday and be indistinguishable from the crowd.

This is utterly clueless.

Frankly, garbage. Serious bakers are capable of a lot more consistency than you realize.

> It turns out that not all eggs are the same.

You can weigh eggs, or more often it's actually sufficient to balance the liquid to offset the variation in eggs -- a lot of baking especially isn't just about taste - but about consistency and proper proportions to get repeatable texture and density. It is also generally speaking quite sufficient to deal with food liquids in volume as well since room temperature differences are controlled close enough such that it doesn't matter.

The difference in weight of a cup of water between 20 C and 25 C is negligible.

1 cup of flour on the other hand can vary in actual material by over 20% because of numerous variables from clumping to type of flour.

> I don’t know how many times I’ve seen someone in a video boast about measuring the flour by weight for their bread, only to add a completely unmeasured amount when flouring the working surface or their hands.

Basically bullshit again because: In most cases, the working surface flour won't amount to even 1% of the final product, however as stated volume vs. weight can make double-digit differences.

Your whole "10 gram" of sugar claim is a straw-man.

Baking and pastries tends to require a lot more precision then basic cooking to get repeatable edible results. It's the one reason why pre-made cake mixes and Bisquik are so popular, even with professional chefs.
