Not everyone believes they are only here once, just to be devils advocate. Some of them believe they are commanded to "be joyful workers", or some paraphrase there of. There are a lot of people that work themselves to death, because they believe a divine entity commanded them to do so. Logical reasoning may be less than effective with this group of humans.
If you have more recent experience on C++, Python or Javascript then you should be looking into Qt, PyQt, Electron (respectively) or other alternatives first, but if you're willing to try the Java environment you could look into the following components to get you started:

-Kotlin to speed up development

-Gradle as a dependency manager

-Retrofit + OkHTTP to create a type safe backend API definition

-JavaFX for the GUI components

-Gluon's scene builder if you like creating your FX views in xml, with a visual editor

-RX as a powerful library for async tasks

-Gson or Jackson as a JSON parsing library

-IntelliJ if you like coding with IDEs, for its massive refactoring capabilities

It's a lot to take in if you're unfamiliar, but together they all come to form really solid desktop applications.
I don't live in the Bay area, but I live in DC and still pay a lot for housing by national standards, and at least for me, looking at it in terms of land and square footage misses the point. Obviously people optimizing for those things won't live in SF or DC (or Manhattan or Boston, etc.). Those things will clearly be more cheaply attainable in places where land is plentiful. You pay to live in a dense urban area because you value the amenities of the city, the economic opportunities it affords, the walkable or bikable lifestyle it facilitates, etc.

My commute is ten minutes on a bike, I live alone so I don't need a big house, and I have no use for a lawn. Your values are clearly different, so New Hampshire is the right call for you (or NC, or whatever). But they're not apples-to-apples comparisons.
I grew up in New Hampshire, incredibly boring. I would never move back after moving to an exciting city. Good places to live are expensive for a reason.
That's true even if the DNS response isn't hijacked though, which was the point of my second paragraph.

I'm not sure how many they've actually sold but i do know that they have a loan/test program where you can pay a relatively small amount (around $2000 or less) to get set up with a MinION kit. The main recurring cost is the flow cell. I'm currently trying to figure out how to join together short multiplexed samples (150bp - 200bp) and get it sequenced on the MinION. Current short-read sequencers from Illumina or ThermoFisher cost orders of magnitude more than Oxford Nanopore's offering. Hopefully someone else is trying to use the platform for short reads.
Which of course perpetuates increasing problems on a national level much like the clustering of jobs seen as the way to get ahead does.

Lotta immigrant communities in a lot of "red states" that've largely been making progress on their own just like everywhere else, and now we're helping hang them out to dry.

What? Google CTS demands that devices store fingerprints in TEE and they never can touch filesystem. Where did you get the idea that fingerprints are stored on a filesystem?! O.o

(Note that the document allows storing fingerprints on FS, but they must be additionally encrypted. Better devices do not do that.)

Having lived in both Texas and now California I do have to say that the higher taxes do provide for better public everything.

Texas seems so far behind when it comes to things like parks, transportation, and publicly available goods that coming to California is like a dream.

I'd happily pay more taxes to be able to have these things be available for everyone.
Could be.

I know I definitely used to be that way. I was super depressed and I would just be at work to avoid life. But I felt super empty inside at that point.

Right now, I lean into it because I find happiness and simplicity in it.

What have private firms got to do with this? The debts are owed by the government and the government owned state oil company.

The domestic economy of Venezuela has collapsed due to extreme economic mismanagement, so switching to a local currency won’t help because the economy doesn’t have the local resources to rebuild. That means to rebuild it will need to import modern equipment and engage foreign expertise to rebuild and update infrastructure the country doesn’t have the capability to build itself anymore. Good luck getting the foreign currency needed to do that in a default.

Take the oil industry for example. Venezuela itself doesn’t have the capability to build significant new oil infrastructure or update it. In order to do that they need foreign currency to pay suppliers and contractors. So the only way to keep their oil industry going, on which the whole economy now depends, is using hard currency. They’re not going to socialist paradise their way out of this.

A question I've never seen addressed: is one justification for junk DNA to create space for beneficial mutations?

Obviously some mutations are actively harmful, but the reason most mutations are destructive is that they break something already-useful into something inert. That's not a risk with non-coding (or irrelevantly-coding) DNA, which means that in return for spending energy on copying junk DNA, we get space where even barely-useful changes will be net positive.

Is this obvious to experts? Completely stupid for reasons I don't know? Even a possibility worth discussing?
SOAP has a lot of really awful implementations in it, and there's much less standardization and a lot more "spaghetti meeting wall" APIs in SOAP than I've seen using standard REST APIs.

California has a number of Asian communities, but depending on which culture you want... there are plenty of other cities out there.

Filipinos are basically everywhere in the USA as far as I can tell... Vietnamese and Koreans are a bit more rare but still exist in virtually every major Metropolian area in the USA (New York, DC, Austin).

A bit of exploration / tourism can go a long way. Visit other cities and look for a new home. Locals often can point you the way towards "Chinatowns" (even if they're mostly Vietnamese or whatever).
That disparity is confusing to me, too. My interpretation is that the spread between the actual value of the "items as-delivered" and the "paper cost of the items as-described" was the method used by the defendant to collateralize the liens of credit?

The "no such thing as junk DNA" claim comes from a paper which is, to say the least, controversial in the field. I would hesitate to take it as prima facie reliable, and in general would recommend looking with extensive skepticism upon popular reporting in this realm of scientific endeavor. After all, this very thread originates in a piece of popular reporting that only seems novel because all of the previous popular reporting has been wrong...

No. It's just the mouse I've been using for a long time now. It's small, I'm used to how it tracks and accelerates, it fits my hand, and you can disengage the click mechanism on the scroll wheel to spin it freely.

My big complaint is that the buttons eventually start to fail. Single clicks will sometimes register as double clicks and click-drag operations start to drop early.
> ...it still never beat GUI editors for me. The lack of a mouse cursor was always a pain point - for example simple copy/pastes take notably longer.

Everybody's milage can vary; in my case it's 100% the opposite. Moving my hands off the keyboard is a demonstrable microinterruption.

FWIW I've been using both text and mouse-based editors since I was 14, roughly 40 years. Some of the time was in deeply mouse-oriented environments (e.g. Xerox PARC in the era when Stu Card was proving that the mouse is indeed a better input approach for a plurality of people -- so I'm not claiming that the mouse is a bad idea in principle). But the keyboard is just so much more direct for me -- I don't have to look at it, and often don't move my eye from the insertion point on the screen even when referring to something elsewhere on the screen.

I was recently tasked with tightening up and documenting an HTTP API I didn't write. The original authors used Django and Django REST Framework[1], but lacking deep experience with either, mostly rolled their own functions for requests, responses, and communications with the back-end databases and other external data sources.

Rather than attempting to sort it out, I used Paw[2] to get my arms around the API from a consumer's POV, had Paw generate a skeleton of an OpenAPI 2.0 (Swagger 2.0)[3] description, converted it to YAML[4] and began putting flesh on the bones manually (yaml-mode[5] in Emacs is pretty decent). In the process of covering all the bases with precise req/res definitions and examples (yay, JSON Schema![6]), I uncovered a lot of corner cases in the API's functionality and made sure they were handled properly or at least documented well.

I co-located the openapi.yaml file and ReDoc[7] with the API, and now it has beautiful web-based documentation. It also has JS, Python and curl code samples for all endpoints, generated with Paw and included in the YAML formatted description. ReDoc displays them nicely, with syntax highlighting.

In short, even though I worked "backwards" — matching the OpenAPI description to the functionality — it was a fruitful exercise and the results seem pretty good. Not to mention, all the above is readily tracked with git and can live right next to the server's source code... compared to, say, an equivalent documentation effort accomplished with MS Word.

If you're living in the Bay Area and you don't have any other reason for living here other than for work, please do yourself and everyone else a favor and move away. Many of my friends who are not tech workers, who have lived here since before the last boom got ridiculous, live in semi-legal and often unsafe housing and are doing everything they can to stay here for reasons that transcend the current economy. If you have no attachment to this place other than your job, for the love of God, get out.

Whenever these threads come up, the NIMBY pitch forks come out. I 100% agree that we should build more housing in the Bay Area, but some perspective is helpful. The Bay Area is already one of the most densely populated regions in America:

http://ecpmlangues.u-strasbg.fr/civilization/geography/maps/...

And San Francisco is the 3rd most densely populated city in America, if you look at cities with over 100k people:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_cities_b...

So I disagree with the narrative that Bay Area NIMBY-ism is out of control. It's probably similar to anywhere else in America.

There are two unique factors at play here:

(1) Massive growth of high paying jobs in the tech sector, with typical wages for an engineer ranging from $100-200k. This has caused housing to double/triple in cost over the last ten years.

(2) The Bay Area has very unfortunate geography: there is a giant bay in its geographic center, and mountains/oceans all around. This makes traffic and commuting more difficult, and also makes development "outwards" harder.
The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.
This is actually hopeful since there are so many secondary and tertiary tech cities.

This means: we should all buy houses in the secondary tech hubs that are still affordable so our kids can afford to have families at tech firms when housing becomes unaffordable.

As sad as this is, the reality is that nobody cares. Biologists have been beating the conservation drum (rightly so) for decades but the behaviour of the average consumer has hardly changed. Arguably, it's actually gotten worse with metrics like the use of plastic at an all-time high [1] (thanks, bottled water). Soon enough we will learn what the economic value of the free labor provided by insects and other animals as basic agricultural processes like pollination become a service that must be paid for (on many farms this is actually already the case).

The good thing about capitalism is that it's great at optimizing a cost/value equilibrium for things that are easy to quantify. But the bad thing about capitalism is that things that are hard (or impossible) to quantify are, at best, an afterthought. Resulting in the all-too-familiar tragedy of the commons.

Seems reasonable, the vast majority of people in cities can live in more affordable higher density housing like apartments, condos and townhouses. Everyone won't be able to afford a house in dense cities, there simply isn't enough space so they become more expensive.

Wouldn't transient I/O error get corrected by block driver itself by repeating the request a few times? Does a filesystem driver assume any error reported by storage device is permanent?

Are there any tests on how filesystems deal with metadata corruption or I/O error? Apart from NTFS "self-healing" introduced in Windows 7/2008, do modern filesystem drivers attempt to correct broken metadata completely on the kernel side, or just give up to avoid making things worse?
