In my top-level coment I asked: How (in)correct are the other answers? I-am-not-a-bioinformatics-programmer.

As a variation, how many other questions do you not like?

http://rosalind.info/problems/hamm/ computes the Hamming distance between two strings, using the simplification that only point mutations are important. This is of course not a true reflection of the science behind comparing two DNA strings.

Do you therefore also not like that question? Which others don't you like, because of simplifications they don't explain?

As an education tool, is it not useful to discard complexity in the process of bootstraping towards the full details?

Ha! I had heard the phrase "lie-to-children" before, which seemed relevant to this thread. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lie-to-children says:

The reason the 2008 recession didn’t impact Silicon Valley very much is because tech was still struggling to come back from the devastation of the dot com bust. In 2002, I recall there being 50% office vacancy in the valley in some areas. It was scorched earth.
I think the author is basically describing the "meta" as what is mathematically sort of a conformal space to the game space — loosely the idea that a conformal description of the game space lets you operate transformations on said space; and understand why it has the shape it has).

I've personally always focused on the meta indeed; I'm the kinda guy who goes for the map first in dungeons, because I'm more about coordinates than superstition (I'll take a matrix over an oracle, thank you very much). That works when, in the meta, finding the map is an expected player move by the developers (it even becomes part of the storytelling of exploration; think Zelda or Bioshock).

But in the real world, the developer's program is kinda like (maths \wedge physics)^chaos , so the meta is very much NOT clear-cut — there's no jury of life to rule that "this year, we'll outlaw dick moves in office politics", or that retribution for many comes next in the form of a #metoo. The players are anti-Shakespearian, they're chronically fuzzy and chaotic and non-trivial.

There are thus, from our "game space" standpoint (unable to grasp the higher-dimensionality of our conformal space), an infinity of possible meta-games, possible descriptions of what's conformal to us. There are religious descriptions and beliefs about that, there are theoretical social-science accounts, there are witnesses in the thousands or millions even who gave their truth in some book or other long form, there's what your neighbor says, what your best friend says, etc. You, the player, get to make your own meaning.

So we kinda perform "loops", from our game space and back, passing by the meta: we try to grasp at it, understand the "higher" or "deeper" mechanisms. How can I get this...?, Why is it that...?, "What is this...?" By trial and error, we manage to get our bearings, have a "feel of" or "sense for" this field / domain / situation / locality we're in. We kinda "know the ways" to think outside this box, after enough time contemplating it.

A truly "superior intelligence" (like we're superior to ants) would probably solve our "meta" like it's basic dominos — but again it's not magic, nor categorial, but really just more of the same: computing power and specialized features devoted to analyzing patterns up to some order.
The other people hired? Those individuals are likely getting paid $500k all-in and get to work on "world changing" software with unlimited future career opportunities ("I worked on AI at Waymo").

Why on earth wouldn't you take that job? Who cares if it actually turns out in the end.

For Waymo, you could hire 10x teams of 10 people to do the same thing. One team would eventually get it right.

If autonomous driving is the next trillion dollar idea, then this is all chump change.

Indeed I think they don't ship the whole browser package.

What they might actually do is to locally launch a HTTP server which renders the app if you call it on any browser (localhost:8080 in the examples). The chrome of the app is actually a thin layer that use the default OS web browser. That is why the memory footprint is much less higher that alternatives like electron.

Ask HN: How do you handle Kubernetes for testing?
I recently worked on integrating Kubernetes in a testing pipeline which included spinning up a cluster for each run. Doing this one either has to spin up an external cluster in the cloud which is slow and costly or create a local cluster. We went with the local option but that brought other drawbacks, such as trouble debugging as the cluster isn't persistent. How do you handle Kubernetes in your testing pipeline?

I've been experimenting with a service for quickly spinning up external clusters (within seconds) that can be kept running as long as needed, in an affordable way. I'm thinking this could also be used to set up staging environments, one for each PR for example. Is there any need for such a service?
My particular use-case is that I'm not a Swift/Objective-C developer, I'm a JavaScript developer.

React Native opened the door to allow me to build apps and, realistically, I'm not going to spend the time battling through trying to get native git working through React Native. If there's a native developer out there that wants to tackle this problem and wrap it up in a nice JS module then I'd be in your debt!
So that they can be tracked independently and reviewed later. As I explain in a comment elsewhere, my company uses an app to generate severity, and it may not be adjusted outside of that. We can then track the number of low or high severity bugs in a delivery regardless of how the customer perceives the impacts of the bugs, using a more-or-less objective measure. We can compare that to the customer's view of the quality of the delivery by using the number of low or high priority bugs.
Yes, I understand what you're saying. I am curious, though, how you would personally describe orthographic consonant clusters such as "th" and "sh", and how, in your experience, other people usually refer to them.
That’s kind of making sense. What’s this process called so I can read more? Just the rna part, I feel familiar with the general workings.

So immune cells can make antibodies from foreign proteins or pieces of proteins or they can actually run rna and make foreign proteins.
By the time of the Truman presidency, apparently the White House was in such poor condition that the only way to save it was to entirely gut its interior and rebuild. It was gutted so thoroughly that they're driving heavy earth moving equipment around inside the building. There's a good photo at:

Looks like they kept the external walls and built a new steel frame inside.

> was warned repeatedly by the car to pay attention

That's really the issue. You have to pay attention to use Autopilot safely. If you're using it as a way to reduce cognitive load about speed/lane control so you can pay better attention to drivers around you it can improve safety. If you're using it as a way to avoid driving the car it decreases safety. The current design lets drivers get away with not driving far too much.

Okay, I get it, but in that case the marketing is doing engineering a disservice when they implement needlessly aggressive and redundant advertising of Chrome on properties and user agents which ought to be almost 100% identical functionality in Chromium based (if not web standards compliant) browsers. To put it plainly I can understand if Google promotes Chrome when there is a genuine technical feature on one of their properties that needs Chrome to function, but in most cases this is not so, which means the marketing is not for technical reasons but merely to capture more market-share for its own ends, which would make sense if they were selling their browser but that too is not the case, so why? I mean, the ultimate aim of all companies are to grow and profit, but the playing field is neither infinite nor the audience stupid, so they should take care not to keep damaging their reputation.
I really, really, suspect that the Google search isn't even close to that smart, that active malice comes in. Pure statistics would put the Chrome version of something higher than the Firefox version due to sheer weight of user-base.

Nor are user-agents in any way reliable.
When I was a young boy, I had fantasies of such secret doorways/passages/treasures being everywhere due to consumption of copious stories/comics involving such plots. When I did visit old ruins/temples etc, my searching eyes would be looking for that overlooked odd stone that was waiting for centuries just to be pushed so that it can reveal its ancient secrets.

Reading this discovery of the secret doorway sort of gave me a sense of vicarious validation.
The effort may indeed affect the priority, and it also is potentially a factor in severity. If a customer knows that a high-severity issue will take a long time to fix, they may decide on a mitigation for a particular delivery and lower the priority so that the fix comes in a patch or later delivery. The severity measure still counts in determining the overall quality of the release, though.
So you propose an ecological dictatorship?

>* The abolition of the English monarchy led to the brutal military dictatorship of Cromwell, which ended only with the reestablishment of the monarchy.

And now that monarchy has a lot less power than it did.

>* The abolition of the French monarchy led to the military dictatorship of Napoleon, which ended in a cataclysmic continent-wide war and the reestablishment of the Bourbon monarchy.

And now France is a roughly-democratic republic.

>* The abolition of the German and Austrian monarchies led to Hitler.

Same for Germany.

>* The abolition of the Russian monarchy led to the Soviet Union and the mass murder of tens of millions.

Not so much the same for Russia, but I'd take the Russian Federation or some parts of the USSR over the Tsarist dictatorship.

It's worth a strong mention that many countries which freed themselves of imperial control by the monarchy or republic of another country didn't end up in a disastrous state. The United States, Ireland and India are good examples.

>Hierarchical power is a human universal

Some kind may be, though it shouldn't be confused with monarchy. Hierarchy is not equal to a monarchy, and modern republics show that power can be distributed at least a little better, with success.

>its reemergence in even more violent forms within the space of a few years, decades if you're lucky.

And then the emergence of freedom, apparently - when most monarchy is abolished or minimized to the point of being powerless, we benefit. Arguably, the abolition of monarchy is not sufficient to do away with the unjust power of the state, but it is sufficient to do away with a certain unjustified power of man over another man.

Speaking of fractional addresses, the original address of the Hidden Vine wine bar was ½ Cosmo Place* in the alley behind Le Colonial. IIRC, the front was a single doorway leading steeply down to a converted hotel basement containing a very nice wine bar.

http://www.vinography.com/archives/2007/06/san_francisco_win... (620 Post Street is the Fitz Hotel on the other side/above it.)

It looks like another business is/was there (Barrel Room Wine Bar) and the street number must have changed (2 instead of ½).

that's a strong argument for having a single priority... Even (generously, IMO) assuming severity represents a tangible thing like a threat to code quality or system stability/debugging, a developer should not be the one trying to balance those internal demands against a customers priorities. The important thing here is that devs know what needs to be done. Distributing that arbitrarily across two fields obscures that.

I see mentions of WKWebView(the system webkit) in the code[0], and while I don't know any Windows programming, they are #including <mshtml.h>[1] - looks like a system included web view (presumably the one that edge was based on). The linux build requires libwebkit2gtk-4.0-dev to be installed[2] - they're dynamically linked to webkit2gtk.

It is like someone tried to write an interesting article then someone else came along and said "How can be mix Brexit into this?" Particularly as this issue has been well known for over ten years, long before Brexit was a realistic thing and the UK solo could have done something without the EU if it had wanted.

I wish I could get my organization to explore this a little more. We tend to use a single priority value. But it doesn't feel like prioritization to me. If you have 100 issues that all have the same priority level, that means you don't care what order they're dealt with in - which is never really the case. There's invariably another level of "prioritization" that has to happen within each level. But instead of being codified, it gets left to casual discussion, or worse, it never gets discussed.

This has led me to think that a hierarchical priority structure would be useful. So we could say that these 100 Level 3 issues are generally of the same priority, but there's a ranking within that. But even the highest among them is still less than the lowest Level 2 issue.

That's not to say that it shouldn't also be 2-dimensional though.

I think their goal was to have highway driving completely handled by the self driving systems with maybe call outs if it gets into a situation it can't figure out (weird construction zone or accident it needs to move around). For covering the gaps existing technologies might even be enough, a combination of auto breaking, adaptive cruise control and lane keeping would be a pretty solid gap fill.

There's several things that could be done in the city if it experiences drop outs. A creep mode where it moves quite slowly till the network improves would let the lower bandwidth or latency connection still be used safely.

Personally I always thought the answer would be self driving on highways to cargo hubs for delivery by human drivers. Or maybe self driving trucks with sleepers so if it got into a confusing situation it could stop/pull over and wake the driver to deal with it and allow the driver to sleep while the truck keeps moving.
