chances are you had your dna genotyped, not sequenced, if it was cheap. measuring your methylation patterns is not going to be cheap as you need to sequence your dna twice to see what has actually been methylated. i'm not sure if any companies are offering a consumer targeted panel approach.

The article mentions loops with an incrementing variable, e.g., i=$((i+1)). It is also possible to do this without loops. Is it faster. Left to the reader to decide. I used this technique sometimes so I could check on the progress of a script while it is running and also continue a script later where I left off. It also allowed me to stop the script by removing a file. At the time, the shell I used had not yet implemented LINENO, which is also very useful when scripts are terminated before finishing.

For example, if I wanted to "loop" 15 times^1

To begin, first create a file that stores the count.^2 It also acts as a way to stop the "loop" from advancing if it is removed.

echo 0 > x

Then create a file that acts as an "on/off switch" to stop the script, e.g., if it is not runnning in the foreground.

> x-on

Then run the script. The "prologue" and "epilogue" use only shell built-ins. No external programs or Bash-isms are required.^3

#! /bin/sh

CRAWL_DELAY=30;
test -f x||exit $LINENO;
test -f x-on||exit $LINENO;
read x < x;
test $x -le 14||exit $LINENO;

# do stuff;
echo https://example.com/$x;

sleep CRAWL_DELAY;
echo $((x+1)) >x;
test -f x-on||exit $LINENO;
test -f $0||exit $LINENO;
$0

To see progress,

cat x

To stop the script before it finishes,

rm x-on

To restart the script and continue where left off,

> x-on

and run the script.

1. Sometimes I did not have access to a program like seq or jot so something like this was not possible

for x in $(seq 15);do
echo https://example.com/$x;
done

2. I always work in a tmpfs-mounted directory so these "files" are just memory, they are not saved on "disk".

3. Bash has too many features for this author to keep track of, like, e.g., base conversion

echo $((16#a))

Thing that's interesting to me is that we have a number of proposals for how we might reach another star with essentially present-day technology. So even us dumb humans think we could get a robot probe out there. A self-replicating one is much further off of course.

Are you just questioning the Von Neumann machine aspect or the entire feasibility of sending a basic dumb probe out to another star for a fly-by?

> You're supposed to follow the argument in the article.

Yes you certainly are. When I read the article I regretted not having read it already, and quickly revised all my ideas before anyone could see.

My point is more about inevitable error.
The CGI in LOTR was excellent. My wife and I recently rewatched it, and I thought it aged rather well - because it was used very sparingly. There's a few scenes (Pre-balrog Moria, most the battle of Pelennor Fields, The Paths of the Dead) that look quite bad, but they are few and far between.

The Hobbit, on the other hand, was awful. Way too much bad CGI. (Never mind all the other problems with that adaptation.)

And in my mind, the theme park ride started as soon as the dwarves were captured by the goblins, with the mind-blowing minecart sequence. I did not realize I was paying $14 to watch "Goblin Snuff Amusement Park Expert Swordfighter Drunken Master Ride: Part I, The Enpartening".
Maybe the price? My city recently built an overpass over a single rail track that cost the same amount - $50 million. A tunnel like this would probably be a 10x cost run by most companies.
For years I had lower back pain. Finally I went to PT, and learned a lying-down lower back twist that would cause some faint cracking noises which brought immense relief.

Now after lots of lifting, and a much more muscular core, the pain and the ability to crack are gone.

My biggest life lesson is that weightlifting is not an optional activity that folks can enjoy if they choose. It's an absolutely vital activity for everyone outside of a very physical career.

But deadlifts are not necessarily for everybody: https://www.menshealth.com/fitness/a29265805/should-you-dead...

TypeScript does NOT shim async functions[1] for you, or give you fetch-api[2]? AFAIK, if you want that functionality, you still need babel and the fills/transforms to support async in browsers without it are freakishly huge payloads. That doesn't count dynamic imports and a number of other features that TypeScript doesn't support.

I'd rather not support a dead browser, that's been dead for years now, that has clear replacements and alternatives. Not to mention security concerns above and beyond development pain..

Java finally gets what's been available in Scala (case classes), C# (structs or maybe properties), Kotlin (data classes) and others for a very long time .. so long we already have tools like Immutables and Lombok to get past this really dumb limitation in Java.

I was really surprised to learn that the Java compiler/VM, when it sees the patterns "somevar" and functions "getSomeVar" and "setSomeVar" doing purely getter/setter stuff, removes the actual function calls and silently changes them in the background to field lookups for speed.

If you attach a debugger or memory profiler, is changes them back to functions and slows them down. I'm not sure if this is still true; saw an example of this at a meetup back in the Java 8 days.
Emacs Lisp's Future (2014)
As others have said, the Belgrano, but also the Cheonan, and the Khukri have all been sunk by torpedos since WWII.
One benefit would be to protect yourself from security issues in the main torrent code. Anyway it was just an idea, not a serious proposal.
You would be misinterpreting them, since their page explicitly credits NSA, cites other people's POCs, and even the HN thread where I wrote down Thomas Pornin's (correct) guess as to what the vulnerability was.

The branding thing is a joke, about the fact that neither Microsoft nor NSA branded the vulnerability. Lighten up.
I still use the Chrome app of Postman too.

Reason is that I'm just used to it and it works perfectly fine for every use case I've had. I did install the new version but they changed the UI around a bunch and it kinda ticked me off because I was just trying to do some work, not relearn an app because they wanted it to be shinier looking.
Samsung does have a fab in Austin (maybe elsewhere), but it's mostly flash in the 50-180nm range, not a leading edge process AFAIK.
A very large fraction. Optical is still the most important band, probably followed by radio, x-ray, IR and gamma ray in that order. And less then 10% of optical is done using satellites.
Agreed, the declaration syntax is awful and the generated methods aren’t idiomatic.

That saidC I don’t even understand the point of generating getters in this case. The fields could just be declared public final. Java’s obsession with wrapping fields in methods has never made sense to me.
I also read The Hobbit to my 3 daughters when they were younger. Whenever I read to my daughters, regardless the book, I would make up different voices for each character. I will admit that making 13 different voices for the dwarves pushed my dad skills to the limit! When they later watched the films, they would respond, "That's not what they sound like." It did my heart good.

I'll second the overwhelming thankfulness to Christopher Tolkien for everything he did to keep Middle-Earth alive. May his journey into the West be swift for I have no doubt that he would be welcomed into Valinor with open arms.

Ask HN: Kanban for Multidisciplinary Projects?
I’ve always worked with some kind of a Kanban-Scrum-Agile-ish system for as long as I can remember. Most of these evolved out of necessity and without official affiliation to any of the above.

I’d be curious to know what HN’ers have found useful for deep/wide multidisciplinary projects.

These are projects where you have hardware, software (embedded, workstation, web), mechanical, electrical, FPGA’s, manufacturing, CNC, 3D printing, injection molding, sourcing, sub-contractors, etc.

In other words, we are not talking about an iOS or web-app project but rather a complex multidisciplinary project. Designing and building a car, plane, rocket, desktop computer, industrial machine, etc.
Brian Herbert always struck me as cashing in on his father's popularity, rather than trying to augment the original vision. Frank Herbert took pains in the original Dune series to not spend time detailing the backstory of the Butlerian Jihad period of the world's history: to him, it was unimportant. For Brian to then explicitly devote a prequel trilogy to it gives it about as much weight in my eyes as a Star Wars Expanded Universe novel.

Most back pain, especially lower back pain, is a result of weak glute muscles, caused by extended periods of sitting.

I'm surprised that people work on laptops for extended periods. I'm used to working on a proper desk with full size monitors and a good chair. I could never work on a sofa or coffee shop table with a laptop for hours, but seems common - how does your neck and back survive?
And it is probably significantly cheaper to take down a sat than putting it up. So it would be a losing battle.
What would this language do better than current languages?
The fact that their writeups all credit NSA and link to other people's descriptions of the vulnerability has the "benefit" of ensuring that you have to want that misconception in order to end up with it.

Agreed, but I'd just assume avoid dual builds and targets at this point... a project I'm working on started with IE11 support and dual build targets, but broke in IE11 about 3 weeks in, so changed the "legacy" build mode to a page noting the requirement for a modern and secure browser.

Strong suggestion: define "IAP"

I'm always amazed how many sites like this make wild assumptions about the domain knowledege of all the people that might come across the site. I think "IAP" is "in-app purchases", but just make that clear. And a better statement about what constitutes "bullshit" and whis is the correct definition would help a lot.

Also, why not also include mobile web games like 2048?

It looks as if it's things like Kitchen and Bath Builders, World of Concrete, etc. So maybe things that are more oriented towards a mega show floor and less to speaking rooms.

When you build the tunnel for a tenth the cost, that's a pretty big difference. The same budget lets you build ten times more infrastructure, which is quite badly needed! I live in Los Angeles and things are so bad here that often you simply can't see friends that live only a few miles away.

I'm probably in the minority and I believe I am giving an unpopular opinion: this is pretty much gatekeeping.

The tone of this article is acerbic. My cynicism says that this is someone who got a piece of paper after much effort and cost and they think that makes them something more than the author. They are upset that this book is being given more attention then work they deem to be more valuable.

They aren't just fighting bad information with better information, they seem indignant anyone would listen to this man at all. I'm very glad that, in general, programming and computer science is a place where credentials matter significantly less than contributions. Sure, the programming language you wrote or the library you maintain may not be the best but no one listens to whiny academics demanding everyone bow down to them and disregard your work.

Yuval Noah Harari- Why fascism is so tempting – and how your data could power it
Others have already commented, but normal surveillance radar is like a spotlight from the tower. It goes around and scans the area. If they determine that you are important, the radar can "lock on" to you which means that it will no longer scan around but would shine the light on you constantly.

If they want to shoot at you, they turn on another even stronger more focused light to improve accuracy.

Military today have ability to detect enemy targetting radars and when they lock on so having such a thing in SciFi does not seem strange to me.

I am a high school student, and this is a published paper that I wrote. If you want to read a shorter blog version of my work, please take a look at my blog: https://blog.liudaniel.com/n-grams-BK-trees. I enjoy working on bringing computer science to other fields like biology. I have also worked on algorithms for machine learning security.

The general problem that this paper addressed is grouping similar DNA/RNA sequences based on something known as a Unique Molecular Identifier, and then collapsing those groups into consensus sequences. This helps estimate the number of unique sequences while efficiently accounting for substitution errors in sequencing or PCR amplification.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me!
Well, they do, just sometimes fraud positively and the rule of law negatively, instead of vice-versa.

Can anyone compare the differences between this and the compute modules?
I'm still dubious. Adding a new theater to the war when your other theaters are already stalling without a decisive victory is generally not a winning measure. The naval victory is only at best a temporary reprieve: the US is going to replace all its lost carriers within a year, and is similarly going to replace all the capital units [1] it lost at Pearl Harbor by that time. The Japanese didn't think themselves capable of mounting an invasion of the USSR before about mid-1943, by which point it was beginning to feel pressure on other fronts, and the IJA would start raiding the Manchurian army groups for manpower to keep from losing on the fronts they were already engaged in.

[1] Again, recall that to Japanese strategic thinking at this time, it's the battleship strength that matters. Carriers are just a sideshow.
