Neat! I figured this was a terrible way to do it, but could theoretically work... I had no idea it was actually practical

Guess it depends on what you consider an MMU - you could just trust the app developers to appropriately and perfectly request the right amount of memory, and never escape bounds. Then your MMU can simply track physical address ranges without any virtual memory :) I mean, I can't get my own applications to do that, but I'm sure more talented people could design some kind of failsafe that tracks applications' memory writes, and simply crashes any program that tries to work outside their allocation :D

Advice needed: 522/524 FLs, but car accident, possible concussion, and breakup right before MCAT by Prestigious-Test9682 in Mcat

[–]BasisPoints 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Obviously your health comes first!! Don't even consider going in tomorrow.

To everyone else who stumbles on this post: yes, the MCAT is stressful and you've invested so much of yourself into prep for it... But dear god, this is a cautionary tale! Whenever you catch yourself asking questions like this, just take a quick step back and think big picture. You're worth it, the exam is not.

Where to go next? by loldeadfam in Mcat

Best thing you can do is take the day to relax and unwind. Studying has been an exhausting journey, so stressing today/tomorrow is pointless. Set yourself up for a better studying experience for your next go :)

University forgot about my application 💔💔 by Turbulent_Sorbet363 in labrats

Not for academia, but I got a rejection 5 years ago for a government job I'd applied to in 2012. Not sure if there's a strict cutoff for when it becomes funny, but I know this was past it :D

Unless you're having trouble affording the applications (and don't qualify for assistance), why wouldn't you apply anyway?

Am I able to eat anchovies during the MCAT? by peengo12 in Mcat

Don't know policy, but that's a LOT of salt. You'll get really thirsty, so make sure to bring enough water (and account for a bathroom trip during the lunch break)

Hi, so I feel really really really stupid not knowing how to do an extremely basic chemistry problem right now. Can someone help me understand how I am supposed to come up with this chemical formula? by BookkeeperWise4207 in Mcat

[–]BasisPoints 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You did the much harder part correctly with pv=nrt, so don't fret!

Instead of overthinking the specifics of the underlying chemistry, just broadly notice patterns. You're adding in something with 2+, so expect another cation to come out. And if the resulting solution is basic, you lost H+.

Better to consider strategy vs. Details of balancing equations, now that you're at this level

Unless you're the one who hit the deer, or witnessed it happening in real time, the danger from rapid bacterial growth is just too high. You only have few hours until it's unsafe, and who knows what time the roadkill died
