If you're making a hex editor and going to have colour coding, I'd think you expend some effort to make the colouring schemes configurable — and easy to configure and change. Maybe load and save as separate files.

One should not trivialise depression. It is a lot different than just a feeling.
I've suffered from and been successfully treated for depression. I would describe it more as an addiction to feeling low than anything.
I suspect that in the EU there can very well have been a lot of overprescription of SSRI for conditions other than depression, however.
Many times, people are just melancholy because of external life factors, and no drug could improve those.
The Sensor Watch circuit board [1] inside the case of a Casio F91-W / A158W / A159W satisfies 2, 4, 5, and 6. Accelerometer or thermometer available as daughterboard.
Battery life measured in months, if not years. Although the simple LED backlight and the segmented LCD leaves a bit to be desired, and there is no wireless connectivity for notifications. Open source firmware.
The Ollee watch circuit board [2] is similar, better backlight but closed-source firmware and configuration over BLE in a smartphone app. Still no notifications over BLE though.
I'd think combining 1 and 6 (O₂ monitoring and waterproofing) would be difficult.
my experience with a sensor watch has been terrible.
imagine breaking a $3 watch that is not quite as indestructible as people think it is, but it is nonetheless pretty robust, and then trying to shove something 100x glitchier and 5x as expensive into its case...
Some cities have streets where internal combustion engines are banned.
Some have bans on just diesel engines. Others ban combustion engines during some hours.
Some inner-city congestion taxes have been introduced for health reasons.
While I appreciate those efforts, and do not mind tobacco-free streets, I'll also note that some cities have unfiltered power plant exhaust falling on them, carried by the jet stream from other cities vast distances away, which care less about the problem. The local solution may not be the optimal solution.
Second-hand smoke does affect people around you. It is how people get addicted to nicotine. It is how new smokers are created.
And there are some people who are more sensitive to temporary exposure to smoke (and pollution in general) than others.
That is why smoking tends to be is banned around hospitals and day care centers — because those are places where you will find those people.
My father was one of them, after he had got his larynx removed for throat cancer after having smoked for decades. He could not suffer being subjected to even small amounts of second-hand smoke again because then the breathing hole in his throat would get irritated, fill up with mucus and have to be cleaned with a suction device.
And if you drink alcohol next to me, it does not make my clothes and my hair stink so much afterwards that I will want to wash my hair and change my clothes before going to bed.
I don't think that is AI slop. adrian_b often post long posts because he thinks he has a lot to say, but you can often tell that they contain his personal views and points that he thinks are important related to the discussions whereas actual AI slop tends to be bland and generic.
There are algorithms to align allocations and use metadata in unused pointer bits to encode object start addresses. That would allow Fil-C's shadow memory to be reduced to a tag bit per 8-byte word (like 32-bit CHERI), at the expense of more bit shuffling. But that shuffling could certainly be a candidate for hardware acceleration.
There is a startup working on "Object Memory Addressing" (OMA) with tracing GC in hardware [1], and its model seems to map quite well to Fil-C's.
I have also seen a discussion on RISC-V's "sig-j" mailing list about possible hardware support for ZGC's pointer colours in upper pointer bits, so that it wouldn't have to occupy virtual memory bits — and space — for those.
However, I think that tagged pointers with reference counting GC could be a better choice for hardware acceleration than tracing GC.
The biggest performance bottleneck with RC in software are the many atomic counter updates, and I think those could instead be done transparently in parallel by a dedicated hardware unit.
Cycles would still have to be reclaimed by tracing but modern RC algorithms typically need to trace only small subsets of the object graph.
That does look a little suspicious. There do exist AI-based tools now that can take other people's blogs and rewrite them with other words. Those are all the rage over on Reddit subs on blogging for ad revenue ...
