Pretty sure that's a nurf gun I've seen in walmart before.

Or something like that. Then there's something out there and clearly visible that immediately shuts down the zealotry because the maintainers have said exactly where Rust stands, and what they think it's great at, and what it doesn't do. Which seems like the problem: that the zealots are giving the impression that Rust is better than C for everything.
I've seen "rewrite it in Rust" mentioned plenty, even on HN; in fact, that meme colored much of my initial impression of Rust before I learned anything about it directly. I think the maintainers and the Rust world in general need to address that meme head on if they don't want it to be part of how Rust is known.
Otherwise, as it stands currently, Rust is the language that's trying to replace C and rewrite everything that is C in Rust.

We aren't talking about essential oils, or anything close. podgaj also says pretty clearly that the psychiatrist's recommendations were doing him no good at all. Don't let your personal grief harm others -- in this case, by denying that there is any alternative to using the antipsychotic medication that a psychiatrist would recommend.
> Ask any psychiatrist.
Only if the evidence is totally conclusive, as I mentioned elsewhere. Otherwise, asking a psychiatrist will only get you 10-20 year old data from the textbooks they read in school, and whatever they've learned to try and keep up to date since then. That's great when you have a fairly normal problem with a straightforward solution and no strange factors in play.
People seem to think medicine is more or less solved, like physics or computer science (ha) -- it's not. We don't even know why people tend to get colds in the winter! Even for that, the best we have are competing theories.
Here's an example: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22340278/. It's about schizophrenia, but as a psychiatric illness it's close enough to illustrate my point. There were even bipolar patients included in the group, though they didn't contribute to these conclusions. A 20 year longitudinal study of 139 psychotic patients; here's a key quote (SZ is shorthand for schizophrenia):
> At the 2-year assessment there were no significant differences in severity of psychosis between SZ on antipsychotic medications and SZ not on any medications. However, starting at the 4.5-year follow-ups and continuing over the next 15 years, the SZ who were not on antipsychotic medications were significantly less psychotic than those on antipsychotics (p<0.05).
> In addition (see Fig. 1), starting at the 4.5-year follow-up and continuing at each assessment over the next 15 years, a significantly larger percentage of SZ not on medications experienced a period of recovery (p<0.01), which also requires adequate work and social functioning.
Dependence on experts can cause irreparable damage, too.
It would be cool to update optar, and make it a little more flexible. It would be fun to make a python package that can output arbitrary data as a printable image.
Hilarious.

Except you can, because that is the conclusion of at least one other study of the effect of Vitamin D. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16959053/
A conversation is a prelude to an exploration, and an exploration is a prelude to a hypothesis, which is the beginning of an experiment. An experiment is where we obtain the evidence to begin to say that it might be true, or false.
It's entirely possible to think about something and even discuss it without labeling it as either true or false - to be simply agnostic. We don't need to jump to conclusions. If we aren't jumping to conclusions, then it would be incorrect to say that we treat it as false, just as it would be incorrect to say that we treat it as true.
you: Britain as an entity certainly faced consequences from US independence
me: The 'holding accountable' was the revocation of Britain's authority over the colonies.
Glad we agree.
Fallacy of the excluded middle. There's other alternatives to a) saying it's outright false and b) saying it's outright true. I'm saying it shouldn't be labeled "misinformation" without extensive evidence to back it up, just as you're saying it shouldn't be labeled "truth" without the same level of evidence.
Instead, it's actually possible that we could discuss the theory as if it might be true, or false, until there's sufficient evidence to rule out one or the other. It's Pelic4n's refusal to do this that I take issue with.
Misinformation? Unless you have expert knowledge in that domain - and unless the alternatives podgaj describes have been exhaustively eliminated by a body of peer-reviewed research - you have absolutely no justification to label that as misinformation.
I'm not talking about punishment or punative action. I'm talking about accountability, where being 'held accountable' could be a synonym for 'held responsible'. In this case, the way I used the phrase, Britain was 'held responsible' by simply being told to 'go away'.
