That won't happen. Even though it's still adequate for him it's very likely preforming under what a typical healthy kidney performs at. Long term slow rejection is nearly impossible to eliminate. No kidney transplant is forever and only in truly exceptional cases does it last the lifetime of the recipient.

The math here is a little confusing, but that's an exceptionally long lived organ. For reference I received a kidney transplant from my mother at 16. It lasted 19 years after being transplanted. My mother was 68 when I had to return to dialysis.

Why is a 3d printer more dangerous than a CNC?

If someone said Sorry and just sat there expectantly in front of my bag, I would strongly have the urge to look and say "use your words..."

Why do rust compile times matter for a production deployment?

I got a keyboard.io when they first came out. On staggered layouts i was >85 wpm. But switching to ortholinear knocked me down to 25 wpm with excessive errors. It took several months before I got back up to about 60wpm. I stayed at that speed for a year or two before finally edging back up to 80wpm.

It did hurt my ability to use staggered but only at first. I was able to switch freely after about 3 months.

Those sound like huge trade offs. And they are. But for me carpal tunnel was quickly becoming a problem. Switching to ortholinear completely resolved my carpal tunnel pain. And that is priceless.

I still find the top row reach on my Model 100s a bit much, but I've gotten the hang of lifting my palms forward a little, especially for my pinkies.

Also the palm keys are amazing.

In database design typically it recommends giving out opaque natural keys, and keeping your monotonically increasing integer IDs secret and used internally.

On cars without the arrow they often follow the convention where the gas filler handle is depicted on the same side of the gas icon as the filler door is in the car.

Calling it the largest electric ship seems wrong or at least requires extra specificity compared to nuclear aircraft carriers.

I feel like this misses the biggest advantage of Result in rust. You must do something with it. Even if you want to ignore the error with unwrap() what you're really saying is "panic on errors".

But in go you can just _err and never touch it.

Also while not part of std::Result you can use things like anyhow or error_context to add context before returning if theres an error.

Independent thought and personal accountability are sadly lacking in the US. "I see a bunch of unreturned carts. I must follow and fit it. See im justified in not returning it." :-(

I've seen Ken Shirriff do this. You mention him and suddenly he's there.
