Dev Biol. 2007 Oct 15;310(2):187-95. Epub 2007 Aug 10. Review. PubMed PMID: 17822690. Full-text: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0012160607...

Abstract:

> "The definitive feature of the many thousand cis-regulatory control modules in an animal genome is their information processing capability. These modules are “wired” together in large networks that control major processes such as development; they constitute “genomic computers.” Each control module receives multiple inputs in the form of the incident transcription factors which bind to them. The functions they execute upon these inputs can be reduced to basic AND, OR and NOT logic functions, which are also the unit logic functions of electronic computers. Here we consider the operating principles of the genomic computer, the product of evolution, in comparison to those of electronic computers. For example, in the genomic computer intra-machine communication occurs by means of diffusion (of transcription factors), while in electronic computers it occurs by electron transit along pre-organized wires. There follow fundamental differences in design principle in respect to the meaning of time, speed, multiplicity of processors, memory, robustness of computation and hardware and software. The genomic computer controls spatial gene expression in the development of the body plan, and its appearance in remote evolutionary time must be considered to have been a founding requirement for animal grade life."
The web has already solved this.

HiDPI screens just get a multiplication factor, where a 1px by 1px <div> shows up as 2x2 or even 3x3 physical pixels.

So the CSS px unit is a bit of a hack, but ultimately works well.

Stuff sized in px stays readable across a super retina iPhone X, an older screen, a projector, or a stadium Jumbotron.

That's more than can be said of physical pixel or distance units.
I'm really, really WTF.

I see nothing wrong with these videos at all and the current general opinion here is the real worry.

Not sure what the top secret videos the author found are that are so bad I can't see them but I totally have zero faith they back up the authors point whatever it is.

I think the author needs to read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grimms%27_Fairy_Tales and get over their moral panic.

There are possibly trolls out their that might create content with the purpose of harm, but i see no evidence yet they are succeeding in doing this, especially NOT in this article.

Mixed with this normal Moral Panic is the old Barney the Dinosaur Panic.

Shows that don't work on two levels (So just on a child's level) scare parents because they don't get them, the kids do, so the parent fear the unknown.

Screen time for kids is not on topic here, not allowing kids to see videos for adults is not on topic here, so really there's nothing to see here with evidence.

Unless the top secret videos do show evidence of videos children will accidentally come across while You tubing.

Using automation to monetize is pretty interesting stuff though. There's the interesting story.
You can, because reviews in any reputed conference are anonymous.

Can you demonstrate expertise in that field?
If you can, just email a professor.

Yup. Best way to test it: take a sheet of paper from your printer and put it against your screen; MS Word at 100% zoom should have the document area match the physical paper size.
The latter. Maybe I should reread the post, but it invites you to visualize a cell as Times Square -- scaling the sizes -- and then the unscaled speeds give the wrong impression within that visualization. (Mechanical properties like stiffness don't vary when you scale space and time together.) Outside of it, of course the absolute speeds are what you want to know.
I wonder what McDonald's uses to flavor their coffee. In Canada it has a very distinct taste unlike any coffee I've had. It can not be pure coffee in my opinion.

It claims it is 100% Arabica beans but it is so consistent and distinct. I wonder I fit does the 100% pure orange juice "trick" by processing parts of the Arabica beans into flavor chemicals and reading it.
Database timeouts
Stating opinions like facts, the standard units should be:

1) Arcminutes at typical view distance. The sun is 32 arcminutes and a css pixel is 1.278 arcminutes. This is the primary unit for measuring content.

2) Percent. This is the primary unit for measuring layout. The number of arcminutes per percent varies from screen to screen in the same way that screen sizes vary, and can be dealt with using the same responsive design tools.

3) Pixels. A pixel is the smallest size that can be drawn in this medium (it could be an actual pixel or an inkjet dot). A 1px line possibly useful as the finest possible thickness, but otherwise you should only use this if you have a specific reason, and mixing it with other units invites madness.

4) Meters. Literal physical size. Like pixels, there are specific reasons to use this, but even fewer of them, and mixing it with other units invites madness.

Without a carefully considered timeouts our application can become unresponsive easily.

The principles and practices however can be applied equally well to other types of databases.
The developed world already transfers gargantuan sums of wealth to the Saudis for energy supplies, and has done so for many decades. What exactly is the moral distinction here? From a 50,000 ft view, it seems that the social bargain we have with the Saudis is what it is, and the particular modes of capital flow aren't the critical issue.

If nothing else, massive inputs of fossil fuels are required to sustain the Valley tech economy, too, in all kinds of direct and indirect ways. Tech has been helping make the oil autocracies rich since forever.
Actually if you have the skills people will seek you out. The trick is to repair things and demonstrate said skills. Since most of the vintage gear is easily covered by a 100Mhz oscilloscope, a DMM, and a 10Mhz signal generator you can do a lot of that. Fixing things you pick up at thrift shops will help you develop the mindset and 'bodging' skills, then work your way up to more interesting things. You will be amazed at what you find in the bin at some places.
Because that's how news works.

There are more incentives (i.e. more eyeballs) to talk about the latest news and people who are in power today. If Congo becomes a global investiment power in the future, you'll hear more about Congo.

Of course we should all be wary of market manipulations by people with easy access to lots of eyeballs but this article is too widespread to have any direct impact on the market or a specific company.

How does the performance of React 16 compare to Preact? I understand that Preact is still a smaller filesize, but fibers (and async when it’s enabled) sounds like it’ll be faster than Preact.

We are using Preact for a small mobile site, so I’m wondering if it’s worth switching.
If you have made decent publishable research, then sure, publishing without affiliation isn't a problem.

Making decent, publishable research is the difficult part though, and this is where academic institutions are very useful - both in doing the actual research, and also in getting funding for the (many!) weeks you'll need to do this.
I second the request. As I wrote in another comment, if it was good at ignoring the usual SEO crap, I'd pay for a subscription.

It certainly is interesting to be following them through the process though .. and I hope they certainly do get this data put on IPFS somehow. Seriously interesting problem though - how to get this amount of data proven on IPFS. It almost seems like something that would definitely push IPFS into the forefront of mainstream storage technologies, if they can successfully solve the CERN problem.
While these countries are definitely more oppressive and have less human rights than much of the Western world, do you really think that they've haven't gotten better in that regard with greater connections to the West? I don't think many would agree that these countries had better human rights and living conditions a couple decades ago.

As others have pointed out international pressure was instrumental in dismantling Apartheid in South Africa. That is one clear example.
In a corporation, this is totally okay as long as the reset password is safe or the account is locked from external access until the password has been changed.

The employee should of course change their password and that should be enforced policy, the admin shouldn't know user passwords.

Tokens work too but it's a bit of an overhead, especially in smaller SMB where the admin is probably just across the corridor or atleast in the same building.

I really dislike youtube's 'recommended videos' for exactly this reason. It will never show me anything interesting, because it thinks I only want to watch things that I've already watched.
Many games, especially the ones that let you play with a sideways joycon, are fully-functional with gamecube controllers and an adapter. I know Mario Kart is for sure.

The drawbacks are the missing motion, "minus", and ZL buttons. If the game works without that and you have some gamecube controllers already, getting an adapter could be a good idea.
I see. I think I would like it if they could play all audio from all devices at once. Similarly, it would be nice to control phone audio with the Mac volume and pause keys while using AirPods. I didn’t expect any of that, though.
Last week my girls were watching some obviously child-focused YouTube videos, and the YouTube app showed a commercial for the new season of Walking Dead.

Seriously, an ad showing graphic scenes of zombies or other monsters on a video clearly targeted for small children.

I don't even know how to go about complaining in a way that won't be piped to dev/null.

I think the article falls into a pattern of web developers demanding too much control.

Fine grained control belongs to the users. The browser is a User Agent, after all.

Users may have their computer configured to display text bigger or smaller than normal. They may have blocked ads. They may have disabled autoplaying video. They might be using Flux or Reader Mode. They might be sitting on a couch, projecting a 6ft image onto a wall.

Just size your stuff in px. How many millimeters that works out to is up to the user.
> But there's no computation happening to it. It's static.

There are three possible answers to this: The binary string itself is a form of computation, with 1's being upwards fluctuation and 0's being downwards fluctuations. Something like a Boltzmann Brain. Second, Zuse-style, the universe itself could be a computer: A Turing-complete cellular automata, acting on the input formed by a random process. Third, our universe may be mental and the binary forms mental states.

> This is true whether or not a human is there to observe it and count them.

This may be true, only because human brains made it true. Objects, like apples, or apple trees, are somewhat arbitrary selections of parts of the universe (The human chose to wall off a certain subset of everything).

With a little imagination you could see the apple on the ground and the tree it fell from as one object. Why is a hair on my head part of the object "me", but the moment I pull it out, it becomes its own object? What if the apple on the ground rots away and turns to mush? Is it still its own countable object? What if a cow eats the four apples? Is there now no object, one object, or still four objects?

Your view is much closer to reasonable than mine though, because to prove that maths is a mental construct, I have to invoke scientific unpopular views, like intuitionism (maths is an advanced form of Wittgenstein's language games) or Indian/Asian mysticism (make me one with everything).

But the reason that intuitionism is unpopular, is not because we found it to be objectively untrue, but because of the very human element of Hilbert hating Brouwer's guts. If Brouwer had more clout then we may see the Law of excluded middle as untrue or unprovable, as it stands, we entered Hilbert's timeline where this law is deemed objectively true even outside of minds.

Then again, my view has no problem with "Spooky action at a distance", because I am not required to view two electrons as separate objects, and distance between arbitrary subsets is relative (owes its value) to the chosen metric, location and measurement equipment of observers.

If the sun rises I can capture this with maths and prove to you that the sun is not going down. But I forgot to add "the sun rises to me", I forgot the creative power of observation: Because for someone on the other side of earth the sun is going down. For someone in space the sun may not appear to move at all.
The issue is what is "the old way", when all proprietary UNIXes moved into systemd like init systems, before systemd started to be an issue on Linux land?

And why should anyone question the Saudis when they just signed a multi billion dollar weapon deal with the US government. Your statement sounds very naive.

It basically plays audio files. I've played most of my Odyssey playtime with just the joycons by themselves, no strap or grip, which makes it more noticeable. Top 3 rumbles:

1) The "fizz" when you're swimming in a carbonated sea

2) Rumbling motorbikes in the city and elsewhere

3) The scrabbling feet of a "Jaxi"

These aren't the only things with rumble, just the ones that I thought felt most unique. I've also heard that in Mario Kart, the sound of picking up a coin is essentially played by the joycon's rumble, even when the audio is off.
Have fun and thanks!
I am sorry if I misconstrued your comment. I thought that you said that bugs and issues are caused by the people working there caring more about return on investment than quality, and not caring about fixing issues, which implies carelessness. By extension, people developing slap-dash product to rip off users without care for how things impact them implies malice.

It felt insulting because people I know personally do deeply care, and do spend a lot of effort for things that do not necessarily have a lot of return on investment (just for one example, iOS accessibility features for visually and hearing impaired are designed deep into the system and still have no equal). Aside from that, fixing bugs and improving stability does offer return on investment by building customer loyalty (case in point, after each major release I still see people mentioning Snow Leopard, an OS release dedicated exclusively to stability and performance improvements).

I’m not saying that things couldn’t be better, they always could, but I don’t think that all problems are as easily solved as you think. To take a classic counter example, Microsoft employs at conservative estimate twice the number of engineers compared to Apple, but still has not yet made a product twice as good or with half the bugs, imho. At a certain point, the system complexity just gets too great, and we need better architectures, tools and processes to get beyond that level.

Again, I am not saying you were intending to insult anyone, and apologies if I misunderstood something in your post. It’s just how it came across to me.
Doing research and getting it published requires you to show how you have built-upon the work of researchers who came before you. In order to get to that point you have to read and understand a huge body of work. Much of that material is behind paywalls which are expensive to access unless you are enrolled as a research student at a university that subscribes to those journals. As a minimum you would need access to ACM, IEEE and Springer-Verlang conference papers and journals.

People without the depth of knowledge often "re-discover" stuff that has been documented a decade or so ago. So if you were to submit such material to any respected journal it will be rejected during the peer review.

As for calling yourself an academic, you would need to be part of some academic institution in order to do that. Passing exams as an undergraduate is the first of many hurdles.
KDevelop, Netbeans and Eclipse CDT are also quite good.

Which countries in East Asia are you referring to?

As for the EU, the 'enemy' status is over a battle for control of Ukraine, and the trade sanctions that happened as a result of Russian invading Ukraine to stop Ukraine becoming a member of the EU. More detail about trade sanctions:

https://europa.eu/newsroom/highlights/special-coverage/eu-sa...

The US has also imposed trade sanctions for similar reasons:

https://www.state.gov/e/eb/tfs/spi/ukrainerussia/

In my opinion Russia is in the wrong here, I'm just pointing out the reason behind that 'enemy' status. In countries that conduct business with Russia, that enemy status is far less pronounced.
That's a good idea, unfortunately the providers don't know each other and don't make it as easy as it sounds. Given interest into that, I will see about making something happen, if possible. Thanks!
OK, I'll grant your point. But Em is much more closely tied to the other physical units than intuition would suggest. It's one step removed rather than being completely independent.
You don't write code to do the srtp that's handled by the browser, you actually often use websockets to signal, but basically you could write a socket.io node or golang server then use one of google's free stun services and do realtime video chat with just that without the need for a specialized webrtc server. If you're building a robust product you would want to add in coturn to authenticate the media layer rather than using google's free stun server.
Git already provides a proof-of-PR with its commit history. You can have a look at someone's GitHub profile so see the projects that person has contributed to.

While it's not a permanent record you'd have to go to great lengths to permanently delete someone's effort from the record. You could also still keep the repositories for yourself on some local machine as a permanent record.

The permanent, tamper-proof record feature of blockchains only provides a significant benefit if many or all players in the game have an incentive to tamper with the data in the first place.

I've been experimenting with the concept of using subtended angles on the retina. For devices that can sense the distance to the user, we'd use that, otherwise you make an assumption based on the kind of device.

That way you should be able to get sizes that appear roughly the same size regardless of whether they are on a huge screen far away or a small screen up close.
