"*Requires a recurring Personal Genome Service subscription at $5/month.
1 year contract required. Order for $499 with no subscription commitment."

So it's really $159, with another $60 paid every subsequent year as long as you want access to the data (and any new things which they might provide). If you're expecting to subscribe for longer than the next 80 months (six years and eight months), then it might be better to get the normal $499 version. Although, on the page about what the PGS subscription gives you, it mentions discounts on future things, like moving from genotyping to full sequencing, so perhaps it would be worth it. Not quite enough information to say, really.

That said, I'm all for lowering the barriers to people knowing about their DNA, and $5 a month is pretty small compared to many other things (phone contracts, for instance, or getting coffee every morning).
Layout often also conveys information, and makes documents easier to read. Fonts are part of that layout information, but so is spacing.
Not tackling pattern matching is a pretty big deficiency. Otherwise, it seems interesting, and I wonder if

Good luck with your iOS 8 bluetooth connectivity issues. (other than that, everything seems to work fine)
Agreed.

- CoffeeScript came from the JS community (the author also writes underscore, the most popular JavaScript module)

- Many frontend web developers are also Ruby or Python developers

- Typescript came from Microsoft, who use it to do big apps like xbox music. Seperately, C# has beautiful ideas about inline-async via generators that are similar to yield in ES6. They get async, and Typescript is still more popular than Dart.

- Although not browser/DOM related, Swift shows what Apple considers valuable in a language.

- JavaScript now has the largest package manager of any programming language thanks to npm

Whatever succeeds in replacing JavaScript should come from all of those. Dart had a great DOM API, but bared very little resemblance to the languages web developers actually prefer to use.
So what exactly is SeanDav caring about again? In the case where a girl did give him a phone number, assuming that number is real, what is the expectation of the girl giving him a means for further contact? Did he go into this exchange making sure she knew he had no intention to call her? Something here obviously doesn't mesh. In all other cases, as someone else pointed out, the discomfort threshhold has loooong been passed by the time the girl has said anything. He's learned jack all about her view.

e: The reliable indicator that you're weirding out some random woman is that you're not in a single's bar and acting like your trying to have sex with her.
In some contexts that's actually an extremely useful warning.
It's used by plenty of embedded vendors. It just isn't generally deployed as a general purpose OS or server by most people. Not really the goal of the project either - their goal is generally "run on any piece of hardware ever created".
There is another possibility, that all offices are fundamentally flawed creations designed not to foster work so much as to create a dynamic of control.

When you pay someone and you control both their place and time for over 1/3 of their daily life, there are inherent problems. I'm not sure that any office plan is ever going to be super ideal because of the fundamental problems of power and control that come with an employer/employee relationship.

Open plans are designed to look cool and help recruiting. They also create a sense of "busyness" that owners and managers love. Busyness is proof they are still in charge.

Arguing about wether or not it is better for productivity is a red herring. It was never about productivity in the first place. Most of what happens in an office is only tangentially related to the idea of work efficiency.
I'm not familiar with Image anymore, but I remember Jim Lee's Wildcats and it was generally "supersexy females with ridiculous breast implants". And they had a couple more superhero teams, whose names I can't remember, which were similar to Wildcats in this regard.
The author is blaming GitHub for not sending him a handwritten letter from the CEO inviting him not to do the stupid thing he positively affirmed he wanted to do.

Please, quote from the article where you read this. I don't see it.

In the article I read, the author admits fault:

> I accidentally made the project’s repository private for a moment.

The author goes on to explain how they made the mistake.

> What put me on the wrong path was an otherwise completely unrelated action: I had just done the same (i.e., hidden an empty README) on my personal profile by making jakubroztocil/jakubroztocil private.

> GitHub’s conceptual model treats users and organizations as very similar entities when it comes to profiles and repos. In this context, and since I just wanted to repeat the same benign action on our organization’s profile, my brain switched to auto-pilot mode.

> I didn’t realize at the moment there’s an inconsistency in the naming of this special repo containing profile READMEs and that it differs for users and organizations: name/name vs. name/.github.

> That’s why I proceeded to make httpie/httpie private instead of httpie/.github without realizing my mistake.

The author does not attempt to hide or misrepresent the GitHub UI that requires confirmation. They show it for both "httpie/httpie" and "httpie/.github".

It does not matter that you have to type the repo name, because once you are on auto-pilot, you proceed past this step. In fact, the author doesn't admit it, but if he's like me, I'll bet they copy/pasted the name. Because the name alone is not sufficient.

The author then goes on to suggest what might have kicked him out of auto-pilot. Providing more information about the repo other than just its name. The name alone is NOT sufficient. And they author shows some example UIs from their own software.

Your suggestion: "The real lesson, imo, is for people obsessed with stars to set up permissions, use dedicated accounts, and not toy around with settings you know are dangerous before you’ve had your coffee."

This simply does not scale. It would require everyone to learn the same lesson for themselves.

I've been a sys admin and developer for over 25 years. People make mistakes. They make them all the time. Putting context-free (or minimal context in the case of the GitHub UI) "Are you sure?" dialogs in front of them does nothing to prevent mistakes.

All the author is asking for is a bit more context from the GitHub UI to help the user realize the significance of their action. This would help future GitHub users to avoid the same error.
Good article. But change this title's capitalization. Sounds like the World Health Organization killing via remote control.

What are you talking about? You've got basically a complete unix shell available there.
Don't you think to be considered a "sport" there needs to be an element of physical aptitude? Poker and chess are both games of skill, but I wouldn't call them sports.
It sounds like you are on a non-native resolution because most apps should be fine on your primary screen at least.

Contrary to macos you should only ever run a windows display at its native resolution (in macos this is “default for this display”), and use the scaling settings to make things the right size (typically 125% or 150%).

The OS fully supports mixed dpi, but many apps haven’t been updated. There are three categories: (1) apps that are fully up to date and always look right, a minority that includes office 365 but not office 2016; (2) apps that use the older scaling api’s and only look right on the primary screen at login (so to get them to look good on another screen you need to logout, switch primary, and login) which is the majority of apps; and (3) apps that look blurry on anything not 100% scaling (96 dpi), a minority which still includes most installers for some reason.

Microsoft pushed more of the work to developers because they can’t assume the hardware is powerful enough to do what apple did: render everything in a buffer at a multiple and scale it down to the display’s resolution.
Probably for convenience and stability. Linux on the desktop (or on a laptop) has its share of bugs and odd behavior still in 2020.
That is the same as here, but how is it a human rights issue?
Obesity can be caused by a infectious disease is not the same thing as obesity, in general, being caused by an infectious disease. It would have to be caused by a contagious, in general, to be able to describe the widespread prevalence of obesity as a pandemic, since the term pandemic is concerned with infectious diseases.
Modern browsers are really shitty text viewers, especially mobile browsers. They have unreliable scaling, line wrapping, and are generally piss poor at the task. An HTML document with zero CSS will be displayed far better in browsers. A couple CSS statements in a script tag can make that basic document easily readable and even good looking.

With HTML you have the ability to link to other sites, documents, or anchors in those documents. This makes navigation much simpler than shittily displayed plain text. You're also less likely to have your document mangled by the browser like with plain text.

Also remember just about anyone with a smartphone knows how to navigate the web (links, back buttons, etc). If you break those UI paradigms by sending them plain text documents you've made it harder for a good percentage of the population to effectively use that data.

They're trying to force an official decision about postponement.

At the moment the IOC and Japan are at a stalemate because neither want to be responsible for paying for the result of a cancellation.

Canada stepping up to the plate is important because hopefully it encourages other countries to follow suit.

Yes, burnout is something very real. Especially regarding disciplines so close to academia, as is the case of math. Even some of the most prominent mathematicians of the 20th century (e.g. Jean-Pierre Serre, Stephen Smale) thought of giving up at some point or had a bad streak. I wouldn't in good faith recommend that someone leaves the field, based on pre-asymptotic performance (what you see on the short term).
Not really. They charge for bags because they can. They didn't used to. Unbundling was a tactic to offset the effects of fares getting lower and lower. Paying for seat selection, drinks, food, etc, all fall in that same category.
With no help for the self employed (a bit section of those at work), they have to go into work.

Note this is only a study of one individual.
We are currently rewriting out frontend app, so can't talk about long term experience.

I don't see much of a benefit of having everything in a single file vs. many. We are going to split them up, as soon as they become unwieldy and people ending up spending too much time reading code not relevant for the task at hand.

What I do see a lot of benefit in, is having everything in one language (Typescript in our case) instead of three and all the IDE capabilities like autocomplete, linting, refactoring, etc. that come with it. But to be fair, I haven't done frontend in a while, so I'm not up to date what the state of the art integrations for html/css/js look like in comparison.
I dunno, a 1000 years or so? It doesn't seem worthwhile even roughly calculating since it's rather obviously going to accelerate as it gets warmer. It would be bizarre if it didn't!

It's not me I worry about most.

When I was growing up my father was a "body man". He repaired wrecked cars. There was rarely a time when he had no work. He took me to his shop from the time I was born, so I grew up around crashed cars. I started working with him when I was 14 years old. By that time he was building custom cars in Hollywood, CA and was running George Barris's shop and I worked there and learned the trades and went on to run my own shop until I was in my 30s. By then I was building advanced driving systems for the severely handicapped. Mostly quadriplegics with very limited mobility who used power wheelchairs. We developed "Zero effort driving systems". Quite a few of my customers had been injured in automobile crashes.

All that is to say I have quite a bit of experience with people who've been in accidents. The fact is they can happen to any of us who drive or are in a car. But there are people who get into lots of them and it's accurate to say many accidents are the cause of distracted drivers, and that's often true even when it's not the driver's "fault". Accidents can be avoided by attentive drivers.

So the question to ask is "do touch screen displays increase driver distraction" and it's hard for me to imagine that huge screen in a Tesla does not. If a driver used it only once while driving that would have to qualify.

When we add to that the false sense of safety of a "self driving car" we further decrease the driver's tendency to pay full attention to the safe operation of a vehicle.

I worry about me making a mistake while driving, but not near as much as I worry about others on the road with me.

All that said, the Tesla is an amazing example of what tech can do in that arena and I admire what they've done. But I'd never put my or anyone else's safety in jeopardy by using that tech on public roads while I was in the driver's seat.

> I haven't met a single guy who was boots on the ground there that isn't seriously messed up from it.

War is hell.

I remember hearing about neighbors who came back from Vietnam in around 1970, and they also suffered PTSD (of course I don't think we had that acronym then). And I knew an Army NCO (recipient of the Silver Star) who served two tours in Vietnam. He slept with a loaded .45 under his pillow, probably "cocked and locked" as they say (at least hopefully it was "locked"). And it wasn't because he lived in a bad neighborhood.

Its a shame that we still haven't figured out how to get help to those who need it, how to help ease those guys off that razor's edge that they needed to maintain in order to come back alive.
I'm a little surprised and disappointed by this answer. It seems like all four of Stallman's four essential freedoms of free software apply to hardware: to use as you wish, to study and modify, to distribute, and to distribute modifications [0]. Only the freedom to distribute is mitigated by the cost of copying hardware. The others all seem like an active battleground for end-user freedoms, and the freedom to distribute will be more important as both design tools and fabrication technologies become cheaper.

Granted. But the level of certainty espoused, with the downside risk considered, imply a level of competence in the concerned matters. From where I sit, the people with the loudest mouths seem to simply not know what the fuck they are talking about. The LHC, by the way, cost some $10 billion USD to date.

Ah, I see. Interesting. So the claim is (I presume) that China is "imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group" with "intent to destroy".

Fair enough.

> Israel does not actually have legally recognized borders

Let's start from this. Israel has a legally recognized border with Syria which doesn't include the Golan Heights. It also has a legally recognized border with the West Bank on the Green Line, and which doesn't include East Jerusalem. It's that simple. The reason these borders are called "disputed" or unclear, is that Israel refuses to give up illegally annexed territories or- in the case of the West Bank- because the lack of a border allows Israel to keep expanding without officially invading a different country. In other words, the lack of borders is not a bug: it's a feature.

What I expect from Israel as a necessary sign of good will, is to relinquish most of the annexed territories and to declare, once and for all, what are its borders. So that not a single Israeli soldier or citizen could cross them without authorization from the state on the other side of the border.

> They've had several solid opportunities to accept this as reality and establish a state

No they didn't, for the reasons I stated above. In fact, at the present, Israel's government is opposing by all means the possibility of an international recognition of a Palestinian State. Why? Because that would establish a border, and with it the end of Israel's expansion in the West Bank. Since Israel removed a few thousand settlers from Gaza, it has installed hundreds of thousands in the West Bank, creating a de-facto annexation that will be almost impossible to revert.
What's the leverage?

Naively I would assume that the worst would be that when such a small investor sells his shares then everybody else has an opportunity to make a cheap offer.
“This is effectively a very weird hybrid of an oddly-specific purity test and a form of hazing ritual.”

Yup. Pretty much.
My only gripe with this is that I'm never sure what the structure inside an archive is like until I inspect it. It's not a massive inconvenience but I don't like extracting to a new directory just to find it empty save for another directory with the same name.
Up until mid-2000s, no one had heard of Python. Then there was maybe ten years of “Whitespace? No!” But from say 2012 on there was a big movement of data science and education into Python and its general reputation was quite good.

Edit: the XKCD antigravity comic was December 2007, so pretty early on all things considered. PG’s Python Paradox was 2004.
I think the apparent scale of the abuse by John Deere is what puts it in a different class for many people. It's the same shitty philosophy, but companies like Apple and Toyota are tolerable to most people because it's relatively subdued compared to what John Deere is doing.

If my iPhone or my Toyota breaks, I can go to any of a dozen locations in my city and get it fixed in a few days. And basic repairs don't have to be done by a professional. I can still change the oil, brakes, fuel pump, water pump, belts, etcetera on my toyota. I can fix the screen on an iphone pretty easily. From what I hear, John Deere requires official access to the on-board software for even the most mundane of repairs. Something a farmer could fix in 15 minutes turns into a months-long affair. If your Deere tractor breaks, supposedly it's almost impossible to get a tech out to your farm in a timely fashion. So your $1 million piece of equipment is broken during harvest and your crops are dying in the field.
Most industry C/C++/Java/Python/XXX code I have seen in production is a numerical disaster. I've been working in all these codebases for decades.

There's nothing you just wrote that is any better in any other language, except that Matlab provides a huge suite of state of the art numeric routines that almost no everyday developer could come close to making as solid.

Writing a nicely illustrated manual on brain surgery with nice fonts and proper grammar based on 11th century medicine is of little use for doing actual brain surgery.

Writing clean code based on bad numerics is also of little use for producing good results. Especially if you then have to defend that codebase in court.

Bad developers will make bad decisions in any language. At least using solid numerics underlying the code provides a huge benefit to building the entire codebase instead of on crap numerics. Every nice clean codebase I have been part of has still had crap numerics. Good numerics is nearly completely orthogonal to clean code, and it's a highly technical skill set that almost no developer has even an inkling of how to do well, no matter how pretty their formatting and documentation. I have never in 30+ years of working on highly technical teams worked with someone who really gets the nuances and details of how to do solid numerical code. I routinely get codebases and developers that do the absolute worst things numerically. I have only really good people in conferences on such topics, or online from similar filtering. These people are extremely rare in software development, to the point I don't think I've ever met on on an actual project (and the numerics when needed have always fallen to me, and I've often been selected for technical projects because such people are terribly hard to find when needed).
