Ask HN: How do you manage versions of non-code files?
Does anyone has a recommendation on how to do version management of non-code files?

For example - sharing presentation with designer for polish, who then makes some adjustments but we still want to keep 2 version to compare and merge later.

Then this presentation is sent out to another customer and some slight changes are required for that. In the end you end up with a ton of folders each with 2-3 versions of the same content..

I think it depends on the local market. I live in an area with a large Asian (Indian/Pakistani/Chinese/East Asian) population and my local Costco sells all sorts of lentils along with Naan, etc. They even have a few types of boxed pre-made lentil soups (dals). It probably just doesn't make sense for them to stock lentils in markets with low demand.
It's the way of innovation that the new sector if successful grows rapidly and then plateaus when everyone has the new whatever. The web/mobile tech companies are not the first. The early motor car tech boom in the early 1900s looked similar, then the electrical tech boom I think around the 1920s and so on. I imaging the early industrial revolution and textile companies in England went the same way and I guess maybe AI is next? I'm a bit of a skeptic on blockchain being the next big thing.

This is one of those HN threads with a lot of misinformation by people who don't know the subject area well but have a strong opinion anyway.

It would be helpful if folks would state their credentials/experience with respect to the subject area in their comment.

Mine: none whatsoever, but am interested in reading informed discussions with folks with either credentials or experience in subject matter.
Clothes is still a tricky thing because sizing differs so much between clothing manufacturers that you really do need to try things on to see if they fit you well. If you have the extra cash to tailor all your clothing, then it's not so bad, especially if you are buying high-end clothing that you can't find in stores.

This is what I do:

1. Meditate every day

2. I have the following text file on my desktop. Answer the questions before you start, then start, and do nothing else but the steps listed for the amount of time listed.

What are my steps?

Why accomplish this?

Provide a conductive environment:
(Make a list here of actions to take to get you ready to start (bathroom, water, close door, close other programs, etc.))

What length of continuous time will I work on this?

Doing step 2 has always worked when I actually fill out the answers.
I've never understood how number spoofing can be so easy in the first place. Are there no security mechanisms? Are numbers not somehow tied to a physical line/sim card? We don't have a widespread problem with domain spoofing (when it does happen it's because one of the mechanisms has been actively compromised, not because there simply isn't one). I don't see how this is different, aside from telco companies just not caring enough to do anything about it.

I'm seriously wondering. If anybody can enlighten me, I'd appreciate it.

Screen call is such a good feature. For those that don't know, Pixel devices allow you to press a "Screen Call" button when you receive a call.

For the caller, they'll hear a Google Assistant voice that says, "Hi, the person you're calling is using a screening service from Google and will get a copy of this conversation. Go ahead and say your name and why you're calling."

As the caller speaks, the conversation is transcribed in real-time to your phone. If you know the person, you can pick up. If it's a spam call, you can press "Block Number and Report Spam."
1) Pay for sequencing, get raw FASTQ or CSV files.
2) Run your own analysis. Open source industry standard software exists.

No one stops you but it's a huge time investment. It's not only CUDA... it's the massive amount of optimized libraries NVIDIA provides. For example, CuBLAS (linear algebra libraries), CuDNN (libraries for deep learning). These things really need massive engineering teams to pull off and are very tied to the hardware.
This "just right" kind of balance is sensible on its face, but in the real world it manifests as mediocrity, when hundreds of other destinations exist for those most willing and able to relocate, inevitably leaving behind those who are equipped the least. Over time, everyone will self-select to the level their resources bear.

Competition between jurisdictions is real. Suburbs capitalized on the proximity to a city without having to bear the costs of legacy infrastructure and social services. Today, towns in mid-tier regions fight over the same trickle-down scraps, offering enormous incentives that aren't likely to be recouped, in a desperate act to attract an income stream. They do this because others do it too, and no one wants to lose out for not having been persistent. Meanwhile, budgets for infrastructure and social services are tight everywhere, unless the relevant jurisdiction has an enormous wealth fund, typically from resource extraction.

The functioning of cities are barely economically sustainable, in our economic system largely based around capital and competition. Is it any wonder why their leaders strive so hard to attract wealth and forces that further attract that wealth?
Nicotine is viciously addictive. I don't see how anyone could consider one of the most addictive substances, and its associated withdrawal symptoms, to be "harmless".

And yes, nicotine replacement therapy has a decent track record compared to other methods, which should not be surprising since you don't have to actual break the addiction. You just maintain the same addiction with a different delivery system.

Interestingly, vaping itself is just another nicotine delivery system, but one that the anti-smoking zealots decided to demonize, unlike the various inhalers, patches and gums they push.
The situation would be a child finding out they share 1 parent with their sibling instead of 2. Curious if the errors can extend that far.
The combination of Wechat and making it effectively the only option through the Great Firewall is an amazing tool for shutting out foreign voices from Chinese social media. The apparent policy on connecting to Wechat from outside the mainland is "don't".

It seems incredible that people would want to use such a restrictive service when much more open ones exist, but the others routinely have their service degraded by the government so they aren't a viable option.

Personally, it think in the long term this sort of compartmentalization is harmful, it too often facilitates groupthink and missing valuable input from people with a different perspective. It's damaging to a society and is going to have repercussions.

Nicotine is still an addictive stimulant so I'd expect you'd get at least the level of bad consequences as letting teenagers make heavy use of caffeine.
There are basically 3 approaches:

* Full DNA sequencing. This is a multi-million dollar effort taken on by large collaborations, usually to generate a reference genome sequence for a species or particular line. Typically a variety of methods are used, from 'shotgun' style illumina, 454 longer reads, and now some newer even-longer-read methods. Long reads are important for generating accurate assemblies. Generally, some tricky portions will need to be meticulously amplified and sequenced with traditional Sanger sequencing to clean up. This gives you a complete sequence, including all inter-gene sequences, repetitive portions, etc.

* RNA sequencing. This method is the core of many molecular biology labs; you take expressed sequence (i.e. RNA that has been transcribed from DNA), reverse transcribe it to DNA, and then sequence the DNA. This gives you sequence information about the expressed part of genes (this is limited, though, because during the assembly process you'll reject many reads that don't map onto the reference sequence in standard analysis) but mostly gives you an idea of the relative expression of different genes. When people talk about gene expression going up or down in certain mutants, conditions, etc., they're usually talking about RNAseq (or qPCR if only a few loci are involved).

* 'Sampling' in this case refers to chips with various DNA fragments on it. You pass the sample DNA over it, and compatible sequences hybridize together, which is then detected via florescence. These chips are designed to carry sequence fragments that vary in the population. Together, these variants form a DNA profile. The quality of this profile depends on the design of the chip. The sequences included are generally loci that are known to affect particular diseases or to be especially variable in the population for assessing ancestry.

In cost magnitude, this goes from millions to thousands to tens.

It could be surprising to some people that it's in conservative state - one of the most conservative.
Surface quality on milled PCBs can be pretty good but you have to get a bit spendy. Also, the copper FR4 likes to delaminate under stress and deforms easily if you use the wrong cutting parameters so you typically want to go for a higher quality board material. It's pretty common for high end RF boards to be milled.
Lovely design. Question, why would we not just use Apple's official site? For example, search for something on https://tools.applemusic.com/en-us, then just click sign in on the top right once you select your music. I believe there is a way to see your current library too.

Great work.

I will admit that I am definitely skewing this towards the HN demographic, and that it's different in other industries as you point out.
That would explain the differences between the companies, not between the twins, no?

Is it a case of them adding too many decimal places to the percentages? Making statistics out of noise?
Since the test results for the twins in the article were 99.6% identical, that seems to match what you say is the usual accuracy of SNP arrays. However, I don't think that can be called exceedingly accurate and reproducible if you consider the intended application.

>99.5% accuracy is great for a scientific measurement device that's only been developed very recently; it's absolutely rubbish if you want to sell the results to consumers.
I lost the password to the @hotmail.com address I used for Myspace, and wanted so desperately to delete the account. Last year, just on a whim, I tried to register it and they actually let me.

Also, is Myspace back? Somehow my profile and pictures are on there again, but I thought they removed personal profiles years ago?
Its usage in fact has nothing to do with Go or any other languages, Flutter is a framework for Dart and Dart only.

I've found the work holding on the CNC to be somewhat analogous to bed adhesion on the 3D printer. When milling you have to figure out how to hold this block down and printing you're using glue sticks and tape to try to get the first layer to stick. Both of these require the same trial and error shade tree mechanic skills that I enjoy developing.

My sticking point is more in the CAM side of things.

First I'll design something in Fusion 360. If I want to 3D print it the next steps are to export the stl (shape file) and open it in a slicer program. Then there are about ten parameters that may need some tweaking especially for a new printer and dozens more that you rarely change from the default before sending gcode to the printer. The slicer program can get you pretty close out of the box and the more I've done it the less time I spend slicing - my go-to settings print perfect 90% of the time. There are lots of resources (blog posts, youtube videos etc) explaining the different slicer settings and their effects on the print.

For CNC Milling after I've designed the part in F360 you switch over to CAM mode and it's like an entire different project that you have to design. With the slicer you say "lay it down on this side and print in PLA" the CNC CAM process makes 0 decisions for you. You can't just say "here's my stock, here's my end mill, put this side up and cut" and then tweak settings from there. Instead there are myriad permutations on feed rates, orders to cut things, multiple passes. Someone's feeds and speeds posted on the internet aren't going to work for your machine/material/design so there can't be something like a slicer program that can automatically route your CAM based on a few parameters and you can't reuse many settings between jobs.

I still like both printing and milling but milling is such a more difficult task with less mature software available (especially open source and hobby level software). That's why a fairly simple task warrants a pretty lengthy tutorial that's worthy of the HN front page.
Note that these companies are not doing DNA microarrays in the sense you're describing (which is for quantifying gene expression by mRNA level). RNA-seq is (now) arguably better for this purpose as well (better dynamic range, primarily), but again this is not what any of the ancestry or personalized genetics companies are doing.

In this case "SNP microarray" is a "digital" (or binary) readout of the genomic DNA sequence; specifically the array has attached to it sequences that match both the "reference allele" (e.g., a "G") and the "alternate allele" (e.g., "A" or some other base). Note that across the world's population, most sites in the human genome are "bi-allelic" meaning that there's really only two variants at each site, though of course it is possible to have tri-allelic or even fully polymorphic (A, T, C, or G) sites. For the purposes of ancestry, bi-allelic identification of commonly polymorphic sites is adequate, though the more sites and the rarer those sites are in world populations, the more specific you can be re: ancestry. This is why the gold standard for ancestry and haplotyping is whole genome sequencing-- you simply get far more informative sites to map to other populations.
If you're optimizing for caloric intake and health advantages, I'd recommend looking into eating plants (and fungi). Plants are always more efficient than animals for caloric and nutrient intake because animals burn the calories they eat before you eat the animals.

Why would you say organic chicken takes more time to grow? Organic has nothing to do with how long it takes to grow the chicken right?
A poorly programmed CNC machine can drill a gaping hole in itself, and into the table that it stands on. Don't ask me how I know.

If there was no table, it would be the ground, and yes, it would. Not many things can stand in the way of a spindle hell-bent on chopping chips off a block of titanium.

It's a very fun thing to play with, though. Probably the most high-stakes programming most of us are ever going to get.
My understanding (no sources) is that better treated chickens have:

- Fewer hormones for growth

- Fewer antibiotics (diseases spread rapidly in confined spaces)

- Higher quality meat (Chicken gets more exercise and movement, as well as increased quality of feed)

- Higher nutritional value (increased exercise and sunlight, potentially)

In terms of calories though, it's probably a wash, and more inefficient from calories/money.

The OP did specify what he wanted - the basic undergraduate and starting graduate curriculum. That's a pretty well defined area: Algebra, Real Analysis, Geometry and Topology with maybe some complex analysis, number theory, statistics, CS or etc thrown in.

I personally did work myself up to the graduate in math during the last two years of High School & first year of college. I was motivated by exploring ideas and gaining knowledge. I would guess that each person has a somewhat unique motivation strategy. Maybe solving problems gets some people doing stuff. I'm sure simply learning stuff can motivate others. Probably each person has to experiment to discover what works for them - I would pick up a calculus book and read it - well, I'd skim repeatedly and then read in depth, solving a few problems. Math is difficult, of course, so having a bit of patience with your until it gets the ideas on it's own is probably necessary.
Clinton was definitely riding a bubble, but at the same time he didn't introduce a giant giveaway to billionaires the same way Bush Jr and Trump did. So it's not so much that he created the situation as he didn't screw it up.
Current estimates are that there’s a roughly 1 in 1000 difference between two individuals purely due to random mutations in the germline (or, put differently, the DNA replication error rate in human cells is about 1 in 1000). This would imply 99.9% expected similarity between two identical twins. However, this is in the germline. Somatic cells accumulate mutations over their life time (since they, too, divide and therefore need to replicate their DNA, and are furthermore exposed to environmental stress). In addition, the tests work off saliva samples which are mixed with all kinds of stuff in the mouth, and degrade slightly during transport. Lastly, there’s an inherent replication variability in the genotyping process (though this is very small).

This back of the envelope estimate suggests that 99.6% similarity for somatic samples of identical twins is not unexpected.

If you get tofurkey or mock duck instead, you'll never have to worry whether it was battery chicken from a factory farm. Yes, it may taste slightly different, but it's a tiny cost to pay to prevent a long time of extreme suffering.

You can argue that all laypeople should use the terms that specialists use, or you can accept that people use words differently and try to understand people when they write/speak.

The latter is far, far easier and actually achievable.

I set my voicemail to something along the following lines:

"If I don't recognize your number or was not expecting your call, I am not picking up the phone. If you need to reach me, leave a voicemail now or send me a text. Otherwise, keep calling and I'll catch on eventually."

If I'm expecting a phone call, I tend to be more willing to picking up unrecognized numbers. Otherwise, I don't pick up. If it's actually important, the person can leave me a voicemail.
>But across many professions (medical doctors, researchers, professors, ...), people are actually interested in their work!

I'd be very confident that if you psychologically assessed people in those fields they'd almost all be in the top 10% in conscientiousness. Those people feel uncomfortable every hour in which they aren't productive. They work all the time because that's how their brain works and that's what the job demands. That doesn't make them happier. People high in conscientiousness don't necessarily feel good from working a lot, they rather feel bad when not being productive. I invite you to look up statistics about drug usage among medical interns.
