For real. Just because Putin is a Bond villain doesn’t make every citizen of Russia one of his goons.

For SSD’s, it’s 100% a logical table, because data is stored all over the place for load balancing purposes, so it already uses a logical table to keep track of what each block is for at any given point in time.

For HDD’s, historically they were physically separated, and they mostly are still, but there’s still a logical table, and there’s no reason the logical table can’t say “Blocks 0 through 1234 and 2000 are part of partition 1” if you have something somewhere else that you want on that partition.

I think the idea comes from “HDD slow,” as he was impressed with the speed it was happening at, especially if you think of it as requiring data to be moved around on the disk. It’s not really intuitive to think of it as just a table on the disk somewhere that says which regions belong to which partition, and having those regions be anywhere on the disk.

That makes sense to me.

Everyone has a type, even sleazeballs that hit on people they’re delivering food to. They’re bound to find some women that don’t appeal to them.

I can’t speak for Canada, but in the US a formal diagnosis makes it easier to get prescriptions or other treatments, such as therapy.

As far as required disclosures, you aren’t required to disclose anything to anyone. However, disclosing a diagnosis to an employer often opens up their ability to provide accommodation. The ADA also prevents employers from discriminating based on disabilities, and ‘disability’ in this context tends to be interpreted very broadly.

An example from real life: I am a manager at a grocery store, and one of the people on my team has some kind of ADD/ADHD/autism spectrum thing going on. It’s pretty obvious, I recognize the symptoms. However, he has not disclosed anything to me, so I have to pretend I dont see it and treat him with the same expectations as everyone else.

If he were to come to me with a diagnosis, I can ask him how I can help him, what he needs to be able to do well, what sorts of things tend to distract him, etc.

Once again, this is all from south of the border, though, so my takeaway would be to see if there’s any similar legislation in the Great White North.
