Handily dismissed by a hypothesis conceived in a moment with zero effort.

Between the cell's nucleus, where complex enzymes transcribe to RNA in a chemical process, resulting in gene expression, that concludes with the construction of proteins, your claim is that high stress at early developmental moments, not only has no long term effect, but no effect at all?

It sounds like you've conducted a study. Is your sample size N=1 where 1 equals you?
You are missing nothing, its just that modern molecular biology has somewhat changed in what it regards as epigentics. Now, we usually refer to any somewhat lasting changes (a few cell cycles, sometimes just for a cell phase) to DNA as epigentic. This change in meaning has happend (as far as I understand it) because some of the somewhat traditional epigentic marks (like DNA methylation) have been found to play an even bigger role in relatively short time processes. Now almost all base modifications of DNA (and the bound nucleosomes) are regarded as epigenetic (in the sense of temporal genetic changes) even though the appearing changes are not really short term inheritance reasoned anymore but mere functional changes.

And now, the whole story is becoming even more confusing because those base modifications also happend in RNA (transcribed DNA) which lead to the term epitranscriptomics, which to be honstest, has nothing to do anymore with inheritance, it is just about how a RNA molecule interacts with other cell processes.

First few times I tried to start a game, I entered my name as required. But then it would prompt me for a password while still telling me I could play without an account.

After trying an few times with no luck I tried a more complicated user name, and it let me it. You should give people better feedback when they selected a user name that is already taken. Personally using a user name to create an account is bad, better to use an email address which is unique.
This was quite poorly communicated for pypi consumers of python libraries, you should switch to boto3 as stated in their readme for boto[1].

> Bugs are bugs and inevitable; at the end of the day, to ship quality software you have to test it

No. Testing can never ever hope to give you bug-free products.... coding discipline and relentless pursuit of simplicity in design can.

The question is not why the testers didn't catch the "root with no password" bug - the question is really how it was possible to have it, in the first place.
Look for “program to program transfer”.

Here’s an example from a community college near where I grew up.

http://www.hvcc.edu/career-transfer/transfer/articulation_by...

The value varies by major. A good friend of mine went from the engineering sciences major to SUNY Binghamton or Buffalo, where he got an engineering BS and a paid co-op. He ended up paying very little, had no debt, and had a network right out of school to get a job for his PE. Then He started his own engineering practice.

Some state universities have partnerships with other schools for masters programs too. My school had a 3-2 masters program where you’d end up with a state BS/BA and an MS in engineering or sciences from a another school, sometimes public sometimes private.

The nice thing about program transfers vs a normal transfer is that there are no surprises. All of your general education and in-major requirements are met. Anecdotally, it’s a better experience for some majors because the larger universities usually consider teaching a distraction, and you get better instructors and smaller classes for in-major stuff in the CC. Intro to CS in my state school was a hazing ritual designed to reduce a group of 600 students down to 300 for the spring. At the CC, it’s 30-40 kids.
Why is it that people think new construction needs to be affordable? Of course new construction is going to be expensive, it's new. You can still increase the number of affordable housing by only building "luxury" apartments through filtering. Rich people move to the new apartments, then less rich people move to their apartments...and so on.
None of those basic norms you listed were espoused by the founders of the country. Freedom of speech, belief and equality under law for all was. (However imperfectly, both then and today.)

What you consider to be under attack are echoes of a traditionalist past we're trying to put behind us. And good riddance.
Fast forward is already here, if price is not an issue.

Because the brand Carbon has a 3D printer that is not only very fast but also creates production quality results.

Adidas for example is printing shoes with them.

But having a choise is always good. We still have inkjet printers. Laser printers didn't make them obsolete.

As much as a I like Go in general, there are two pythonic things that, IMO, really should go into the next major revision.

1: sets; in this day and age, not having sets as native, stdlib-provided data types is simply unacceptable.[ß]

2: The ease of python's "in" keyword; being able to test for a key in a map
(or set!) without any indirection is crucial

ß: granted, IIRC python moved sets into native stdlib types only somewhere in 2.x but better late than never
One reason would be because you don’t know react or angular or whatever the latest js framework is. You have known Django for a decade and it still works so why waste time learning some js framework which might be out of fashion in 2 years.

Generate dynamic HTML on the server, that still works just fine. And codebase will be way simpler as you just generate HTML on page refresh. No need to fiddle with event listeners and DOM and AJAX or whatever.

Single page web apps are often wrong choice if you just need some UI other than some fancy dashboard. Let’s say you need an admin panel where you can do CRUD operations, that’s perfect for Django/Rails and would be much much more work as SPA.
Flask is used by Pinterest and LinkedIn, which I'm guessing are a touch more than 100 lines of code.

Flask is, of course, more powerful than bottle, and has less batteries included than Django. Saying Flask is good for 100 LOC sites is terrible advice, no matter which way you try to slice it. It isn't. It's widely-used and well-maintained.

Don't get me wrong, I like Django as well.
Credit cards are the one thing I can’t wrap my head around. I am not American and most of my young U.S. friends I met early in college were so excited about having a credit score of x which entitled them to more debt...
Not necessarily. Life situations change so a rent control tenant might need to find a new place or people they love might need to. For instance

* get children

* get grandchildren they want to be close with while their child can’t afford to live next door because of inflated rents caused by housing shortages

* become old and need to live in a building adapted to their needs

*their friends might move away because of high housing costs

Reducing prices solves these problems.
Yes, but you don’t invest money that isn’t closed.
I think the simplest explanation is that Bitcoin got popular in internet communities that didn't have many women to start with.
There's the "remind me about this" feature for messages. The intervals are well-spaced, too. (in 20 mins, in 1 hour, in 3 hours, tomorrow). I find it to be a great way to deal with an interruption that can't be ignored entirely, but comes while I'm in the middle of doing something more important.

> I'm waiting for the equivalent of a Kinko's for 3D printing

A lot of universities offer this to their students already. Commercially, off the top of my head, Staples and the UPS store have some 3D printing services available at a limited number of stores but I don't think it has been terribly successful. Problem is, 3D printing is IMO not much more than a novelty unless you are designing your own parts, but then iterating on a custom design is painful and expensive with a commercial service.

I use my 3D printer a ton, both for work and for hobby stuff, and it usually takes a few tries to get a design right. That's hard to do sitting in a store or by mail and typical markup for those services is like 10-20x actual cost. It quickly gets expensive enough that buying your own printer starts to make sense, especially when quality printers can be had for <$500 nowadays and quite serviceable printers for <$200.

There's really not a huge difference in quality between the higher end printers and the good examples of the affordable ones (at least, comparing FDM printers to their kin, SLA/DLP is a different beast entirely). Most of the difference is in convenience and secondary features like dual extrusion or self-leveling.
It seems like if you can afford a single-family home, you could afford an apartment that wasn't also rented to people cooking meth?

My data point: I've lived in two 2-3 story apts in suburbs and lived in a 5 story condo in city and never had noisy or bothersome neighbors. None of these were particularly new or fancy, but not trashy either. Just middle of the road housing.

My impression is it helps if you live on the bottom or top floors. Bottom floor I think guarantees cement walls, which are good sound insulators. Some apts have multiple floors of cement which helps a lot. TMYK.
The diversity receiving lip service here is economic diversity. Wealth always comes with privilege and social standing. Reading this as social diversity ignores the possibility that lower economic status is associated with greater diversity...in a statistically random world this is an equal possibility.

I was like you a number of years ago (iPhone, Macbook, iMac, etc) but decided it was time to switch rides. Google has a massive intensive to making switching from iOS to Android as easy as possible.

Lack of commit activity doesn't necessarily mean a package is obsolete. A small set of well defined functionality can be "done" at some point and need no further changes.
Thanks for the suggestion. In fact, I'm thinking in dropping the idea and port it, but I'm not confident with my Python skills and there are plenty of concurrency stuff in the library.

Well, I guess is time to learn Python

> I'm fine with having to pay through the nose for a little privacy and a backyard, given the alternative.

One could argue that, despite high house prices in the Bay Area, homebuyers are actually drastically underpaying for their land!

If we upzoned all of, say, Berkeley, to 3 units per lot rather than the current 1 unit per lot, SFH prices would probably double. (This is because, even if the extra supply reduces home prices, say, from $1m to $700k, each lot will now have the potential to build 3 houses on it, making the lot's land value $2.1m. Of course, this isn't exactly correct—I did not account for construction costs—but you get the idea.).

So, in a unzoned/loosely zoned/"fair" world, you would pay a pretty dime for a SF house in a desirable city like Berkeley—a lot more than SF homebuyers pay today.

This is something people don't appreciate—SF zoning actually subsidizes SF homebuyers by artificially depressing the value of the land, and therefore not making buyers pay the full opportunity cost for underutilizing the land. (Here the opportunity cost is the 3+ houses that could be built on it instead.)

(Not trying to attack OP, who doesn't seem to live in, or want to live in, Berkeley anyway, just making a general point here.)
For network glue, Go is a wonderful and super useful language. Not just in how efficient it is, or how easy FFI calls are, but also in how easy it is to deploy.

I don't see Go replacing anything that isn't a lightweight server or really small data processing script, though. Anything Tensorflow or numpy of any notable complexity will probably remain Python afaict.
The first amendment applies to the actions of govnerment officials, not private parties.

In the meat-space analogy, the mall is still able to kick out people for violating its rules on conduct, but government officials are not allowed to, nor are they allowed to ask the mall to kick people out on their behalf.

I'm skeptical of specializing in technologies. Personally I've built multimedia CD-ROMs (in proprietary language), websites, high performance C++ servers for airline industry, distributed systems in Python and a bit of Go, and now I'm doing scientific computing.

If back in the '90s I'd decided I was a multimedia specialist when multimedia was the Next Big Thing... I wouldn't have gotten anywhere because it was killed by the web soon after.

By all means become an expert in technologies that interest you, or that seem lucrative, or have a lot of impact that you care about. But specialization is in the end a marketing approach, it shouldn't define who you are.

Yet their entire argument states quite the opposite - that this entire thing is contingent on Twitter being defined as a sort of legally defined Forum for discussion so that first amendment law is applicable. That categorization most certainly has major implications for Twitter and all major social media for that matter.

IANAL, but I don't think there's such thing as a binary test of whether a place is subject to the First Amendment or not. It's always applicable in a specific context - here being the restrictions that the government can apply to the public, nothing else.

They gave the example of Television, saying that the government can't block specific viewers from seeing it - yet that doesn't make TV channels a sort of public square, where they have to allow anyone to make their statements. It's only a restriction on the government.
The point really isn't to make sure the valves work (the environment might have broken them after a few decades in space), the point is to make sure the code you're uploading doesn't brick the computer. It's nice to have an original computer and fully replicated signal path to make sure there aren't any unforseen bugs. Emulators have a tendency to have 99% coverage but the missing 1% is what would cause us to throw an expensive brick out of the solar system.
I'm coming from a very opposite perspective. All corporate taxes are silly, just tax the people that make income.
I deal with a lot of investors who want to know insourcing vs outsourcing for their portfolio companies.

Here's the thing about outsourcing, the people (FTE's) managing the vendors have to be just as deadly or smarter than their outsourcing peers, otherwise service providers pretty much walk over them.

Marketing tech service companies are notorious for this. I'm looking at you PPC, SEO and Ad buying companies...you're the worst.

>>> We could have had a spread spectrum solution with open airwaves. We have with unlicensed WiFi frequency bands, and there's plenty of competition in that space. Well, at least until the FCC tries to meddle in that too.

Airwaves are the scarcest resources in the planet. There are only so few of them and they are fairly limited by the law of physics. The mobile network is already running at physics capacity.
That website is not a read-only, public marketing site. It contains their order page, which asks for personal information: https://www.rsync.net/signup/order.html

Their unencrypted pricing page links to that encrypted order form page. We all agree there should be no http to http transitions like that, right?

If you'll note, that encrypted order page is on the same host as their unencrypted pages. Both rsync.net and www.rsync.net covered by the cert. They have SSL set up already, and they just purposely redirect away to http for their static pages. That is a well-known ssl antipattern.
I would like to know if fellow HNers who regularly code in Python are using f-strings and type hints in your production code or otherwise. I often find myself inclined to use type hinting.
Here's where I part ways with the EFF's analysis: The article says, "the First Amendment doesn’t just protect your right to speak your mind. It also protects your right to receive, read, hear, see, and obtain information and ideas." (Italics added.)

The first amendment says, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."

I understand that there are literally dozens of bound volumes of case analysis that apply to the interpretation of this amendment by dozens of courts great and small, but I don't think any of them have gone so far as to say that I have a constitutional right to receive information in a certain medium. If a tweet is that important, some newspaper will reprint it.
I agree it is weird. It is also sad that as a society we can't take care of our elders. With respect to insurance, some of these workers are over age 65 so they get Medicare. What's interesting is that the article describes "Don Wheeler" a former software exec who lost everything in the '08 crash as well as his Berkeley house to his ex-wife. For the HN softare crowd who worry about a career as they get older, this is close to home. That being said he may have unique circumstances but still... I think people also underestimate the financial impact of divorce.
Sets, if you mean a collection that contains no more than 1 of something, are easy. Use a map with struct{}{} values. If ordering is important, it's ~30 lines of simple code to encase a slice and a map in a struct and define your desired interface.

Testing for a key's existence is easy as well. Accessing a map returns two variables--the 1st is the value itself. The 2nd variable is that "exists" variable you're asking for. It's true when the key is present in the map and false if not. Often you'll see the 2nd variable omitted, but if you need to test for existence it's there for you to use.

Just because someone has done something for generations doesn't make it right. They also send children to kindergarten by the 3rd month, for economic reasons.

Having traveled a bit in Northern Africa, I noticed baby sleep problems are virtually non-existent there. They do what humans have done for eons: co-sleeping and breastfeeding. They do it so naturally, mothers are never fully awake while they breastfeed during the night (wife had to sleep in a room full of women and children on several occasions).

Biologically, this makes a lot more sense than giving the signal to the most immaturely born placental mammal that she can't rely on the mother's care.
