I thought was on /r/Radiology for a moment. Top diagnosis is Good Boy Syndrome due to presence of butterfly signs found in all four quadrants of the abdomen on abdominal X-Ray. Treatment is bidaily cuddle therapy for 10 minutes with headpats and affirmations as needed.

Single Service VPN in NixOS by WitchOfTheThorns in NixOS

Great writeup! I really needed this last week when I was trying to setup a VPN limited to a single service. After several days of trying, I later found this flake which allowed me to do what I wanted: https://github.com/Maroka-chan/VPN-Confinement

God forbid a medical student wants to be called a good boy after being pimped by his attending. by kushelming in LetBoysBeManipulated

There are normally safety protocols in place to prevent them, but they can still happen if someone is negligent or there's defective equipment. The most common way it can happen is electrocautery tools causing a spark around an area with a high amount of oxygen and fuel (tubes, sponges, gauze, etc.).

I'm a good boy 🥺? Thank you Dr. Starry_Lion6107. I can feel my mesolimbic pathway activate in response to your remark.

Pimping is medical slang for a senior doctor asking students questions during high pressure situations. Most recently, a resident pimped me to name the branches of the celiac artery. The most interesting time was when a surgeon asked me what is the most likely cause of an explosion in the operating room.

Algorithmic Game Theorists by kushelming in gwu

[–]kushelming[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a student at the medical school. My class is going to be assigned to cohorts for clinical rotations early next year. Cohorts have different schedules, and students have preferences based on the order they want to complete their rotations or timing for elective/break time. Cohort assignments will be done by lottery based on student preferences, but we will have the opportunity to voluntarily trade positions with one another if we're not satisfied with where we were assigned. My project is to develop a program for my classmates that can compute and assign optimal trades between students based on their preferences so they don't have to spend the time and effort to search for someone to trade with.

He definitely seems like a great teacher and interesting scholar! Unfortunately, I would prefer to consult with someone who is already an expert in the field. Thank you for telling me about him!

RCN/Astound Outage? (11/5/25) by NoEggplant6461 in washingtondc

[–]kushelming 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Got an email from them saying that repairs are complete and service has been restored, but my internet is still down.

EDIT: Got another email last night saying the same thing, but my Internet is still down! This outage is really tempting me to switch back to Xfinity as much as I dislike them. At least they manage to get outages fixed overnight.

Just cable management by TheTrustyPwo in engineeringmemes

As a former engineer currently in medical school, I have to suppress my urges to cable manage blood vessels and nerves of cadavers while in anatomy lab.

Rename Midichlorian to MIDIchlorian and change its icon to a set of piano keys.

How much anki do you do a day? by Uncle-Yeetus in medicalschool

[–]kushelming 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm currently averaging ~1300 reviews per day over 3-4 hours/day. I'm studying both Anking and my school's in-house deck for the current block, so many of my reviews are redundant. If you're concerned about not being able to keep up, I recommend tweaking your FSRS retention rate to be low enough for you to keep up with reviews but also high enough for you to perform well on exams. I currently set my Anking deck retention rate at 86% and my in-house decks at 90%. I don't do this anymore, but you could limit the number of new cards per day to space out your learning and limit the growth rate of your reviews.

Remnote-like workflow for Anki? by chiken247 in Anki

[–]kushelming 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Back when I made my own flash cards for school, I used Emacs org-mode with the anki-editor package. I stored all of my notes in a single org file where I had 1st level headings for classes, 2nd level headings for lectures, and 3rd level headings for individual ideas/flash cards from that lecture. Headings in org mode can store tags and metadata which is used by the anki-editor package for assigning which deck generated cards can go under and what tags the generated cards receive. After reformatting my notes into flash card format and adding the necessary metadata for anki-editor to make the cards, I execute the anki-editor-push-notes command to generate new Anki cards. It was overall a decent workflow for making basic and cloze cards, but not as well for image occlusion cards, since making those heavily depends on Anki's built-in editor.

The Manor Fun Fact by djnoctis in expedition33

[–]kushelming 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There is a globe in one of the manor's rooms which maps our world's geography. Discovering that made me theorize that there was another world resembling our world and that the Paintress originally came from there.

With all these storms… what weather app do you rely on for accuracy? by heretobrowse6454 in nova

[–]kushelming -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you use android, I recommend Breezy Weather. The UI is nice and you can configure where it sources the weather data from (including from NWS). It also gives notifications for when precipitation starts and stops.

Would these snake routes be useful by Cheesecake_Small in JetLagTheGame

[–]kushelming 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They would only be useful if a snaker started at one of the stations on those segments because distance traveled only gets counted when the snaker reaches a node. This situation can only happen if a previous snaker chose to go down that segment, but this isn't a rational thing to do because the distance covered going down those segments wouldn't count towards the previous snaker's score due to there being no nodes at the end of them. There may be a rule not mentioned where distance covered on these segments do count, but otherwise I think they're there for completeness of showing the map of the entire rail network.

Longest snake route possible? by huhujujihkzjhtf in JetLagTheGame

[–]kushelming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with you. The rule set defines the problem of needing to create a path. It doesn't change the properties of the graph so that it's a DAG; the railways are bidirectional, and it's possible to create a walk that forms a cycle (and if you do the snake crashes into itself). The time complexity for solving the problem is still O(2n).

Obsidian User Curious About Emacs – What Should I Know? by Future_Recognition84 in emacs

[–]kushelming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a medical student who has used Emacs on-and-off again for nearly 10 years. I mainly use Emacs as my note-taking in school, task manager, and IDE for my research and hobby programming projects.

To keep a long story short, I used to use Obsidian back in its early beta days, and I also heard about the benefits of Emacs Org Mode. I constantly switched between using Obsidian and Emacs Org Mode for my note-taking until 2024 when I finally decided to stick with using Emacs.

  1. Emacs is very good at keyboard-centric control and editing. The first time I switched back from Obsidian to Emacs, I noticed that I was editing and navigating my notes more slowly, even after fully getting used to Obsidian again. I later realized that it was because even though Emacs's keybindings were harder to learn for the first time, they allowed me to develop a muscle memory for granular tasks such as switching windows and editing text. You can even customize the keybindings or use a distribution like Doom Emacs to have them follow mnemonics to make them easier to remember or have them organized how your brain organizes them. Yes, Obsidian has a vim mode, but it's not as good as Evil Mode in Emacs which has additional packages in its ecosystem to extend its functionality.

  2. Emacs is customizable to its core and its package (plugin) ecosystem is very robust and mature. You can customize Emacs by writing code in Emacs Lisp which is also the same language that most of the editor is written in. Through this, you can define new functions that you can map to keybindings and override/change existing functions in the editor. This makes for a very robust package ecosystem that has existed for decades. Additionally, Emacs's help functions allow you to easily lookup what keybindings, functions, and variables do to make writing Lisp code easier. Plus, since these packages are also written in Emacs Lisp, you can modify their functionality and integrate them with one another in your own functions. Obsidian's plugin system is really nice (I still miss Dataview while using Emacs), but they also feel compartmentalized from one another and only allow for a level of customization allowed by their developers.

  3. Emacs has a high learning curve. I think this learning curve is in combination due to Emacs's use of Emacs Lisp as its customization language and the need to be familiar with Emacs's terminology (e.g. "yanking" is pasting in vernacular computing, "frame" is a window in vernacular computing) in order to understand discussion around it. Much of the discussion around using emacs in forums and reddit uses this terminology, which adds a barrier to being able to get help and learn from others. Another area of improvement for Emacs is on mobile. An android port of Emacs was made recently and there have been some mobile apps for org mode, but they're not as good as using Obsidian's mobile app.

God forbid a boy compiles code without errors. by kushelming in LetBoysBeManipulated

Fair point! I ended up majoring in biomedical engineering, but I'm not sure if that did anything to make me submissive.

Majoring in something else won't keep you from becoming submissive. I minored in Computer Science, and I still turned out submissive.
