This activity can sometimes be annoying in biology experiments, especially when you get down to the bacterial size and do measurements on the population.

Think the average expression of gene X is 100? Well, it is, with 90% of the population expressing the gene at 111 and 10% not expressing it at all.

I use a Python based CMS called CodeRedCMS for my website. They store all their content in a file called db.sqlite3. I use PythonAnywhere for hosting the site and they read the website-files from GitHub. So whenever I update my site (including the blog), I just push the latest version of the db.sqlite3 file to GitHub and pull it into PythonAnywhere.

So, as I understand, as long as the DB can be converted into files, it will work as anything else on Git and GitHub. What am I missing?
The RTPCR will only work for those with viral RNA in them. So those with active infections. The antibody test won't work until the host produces antibodies against the virus (except for false positives). So yeah, the antibody test will detect those who are immune, or at least have antibodies against Covid-19 whereas the RT-PCR will not.

I don't understand the obsession of unions on HN (majority are most likely tech workers without unions or have participated in one. I guess it could be exotic or the grass is greener on the other side)

Could I please have some papers shedding more light on productivity, societal gains, monopolistic behaviour etc resulting from unionizing an industry?

Not just perceived benefit but what happens in practice.

Ignoring whether unions are good or not. I find it odd that people here want another level of management and bureaucracy in their work environment when simpler solution like universal income exists.

Universal income will allow low paid workers to stay at home while not worrying about grinding to put food at their plates. Allowing them more power individually to negotiate better terms with their employer rather than having to go through a middle management layer which may or may not be receptive to your request.

I have a dumb question, what happens when an industry is controlled by one segregated group by their sex, age, race or any differentiating factor that is permanent.

Would that not be a challenge with unions?

How do you enforce "diversity" in unions whatever that may be?

Would universal employee benefit from the government not encourage more growth as small businesses don't need to factor in a lot when hiring workers and will only need to pay simple tax to the government based on any factor ranging from employee count to revenue?
Sealioning is a Gamergate tactic, so it's quite possible he's one of those disruptive children, and that's where he learned it from. He's certainly doing it regularly and systematically and by the book, as if it's a job he's been trained to do, he has a checklist of talking points and techniques, and is being paid for his time, number of posts, and number of words.

https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/sea-lioning

Another tactic you can see him practicing, which we're all familiar with coming out of the White House, is psychological projection. Trolls like misterman are fully aware they're sealioning, know all the terminology because they study and emulate it, and they love to throw around and misuse terms like that themselves, to attack other sincere people for doing what they're actually maliciously doing themselves, to make it seem like it's just "both sides", which it's not.

It's not just an internet thing. Here's an example of how racists sealion and project in real life:

I think this is most things that use tech that aren't tech companies. Read up on airline reservation systems and the IRS's computer system--they're ancient. Outside of tech, I think there's a notion that these are one-off projects (design and build X) and not large upfront investments that need continuous work to still be maintainable.

Even when you bring tech into your personal life, remember that it's one more thing you need to patch, backup, replace, etc.
Excerpt:

Why is technical debt important?

"Some things tend to degrade with time. Within the context of software, degrading means that a system deviates in two specific ways: that it no longer functions as well and that it no longer satisfies its quality attributes. Quality attributes are those cross-cutting requirements such as maintainability and reliability, which one may argue are more important for a system's success than functional requirements.

The buildup of harmful elements that lead to degradation may be said to be inevitable in software for a number of reasons, primary of which is the inherent complexity of software.

To paraphrase Fred Brooks, this inherent complexity is due to the fact that no two components in software are the same, which is in contrast to the physical disciplines where there is such a thing as matter and where components have physical attributes that are unequivocally apparent and constraining. Other factors that contribute to the buildup of these harmful elements include changes in team dynamics, business pressures that lead to tight deadlines, industry shifts and so on.

A term that is sometimes used to describe a subset of these harmful elements is technical debt.

It is a fitting metaphor, as it indicates that a software engineering malpractice here or a concession with respect to coding standards there can incur a debt that one must then pay off in the form of time, effort or defects."

It's much better than Travis in every way except one: GitHub Actions pull request checks are against the PR branch, while Travis pull request checks are against a merged tree.

The most common case where this matters is if someone pushes a failing commit to master, and then all PRs based on that commit will also fail, and then a fix is pushed to master. With Travis, you just need to re-run checks, but with GitHub actions, all those PRs need to be rebased on the new master.

Was git really better than for example Mercury or Darcs for most 'normal' projects when it was released? I certainly don't remember it as such. It was certainly better for Linus and the specific workflow problems he had with kernel development, but I don't recall it being better overall at the time.

What its release (and the very public BitKeeper spat leading up its release) did do was bring the idea of distributed VCS to the forefront.
By the end of the day, about 280 million masks from warehouses in the U.S. had been purchased by foreign buyers and were earmarked to leave the country, according to the broker — and this is all in one day.

Mercurial would not have won. Mercurial has since added features, that are not the recommended workflow according to their docs, to have similar branching model to git but the default "as designed" workflow of hg is arguably inferior to git (yes, I know that word will get downvoted).

Without git, git's style of branching would likely never have been added to hg and even though it's been added now AFAICT hg people don't use it. No idea why. Git people get how much freedom git branches give them, freedom that other vcs, include hg don't/didn't.
Gitlab is really great for companies who wish to self-host their tools, and as a source code repository it is great at the free tier. But for small companies who might wish to migrate their issue tracking to Gitlab as well the pricing of the paid tiers is prohibitively expensive.

What would really help me is a self-hosted pricing tier that includes things like epics and roadmap management, for something like $2/user/month. No need for support, just a way to contribute to the product without breaking the bank. After all, we're already self-hosting the software, so without support exceeding that of the free tier it wouldn't cost Gitlab a thing, but it would allow smaller companies to support Gitlab financially.
I think what's worse than that obsession, and perhaps is actually what you meant, is the concept of "elegant" code.

Elegant code is easily just as bad as spaghetti code. I can't even begin to quantify how many hours of my life were wasted because someone thought it was more important to make something elegant rather than understandable. I get that it's satisfying to make something that "makes sense" if you've built a mental model of the problem from the beginning, but if it's incomprehensible to others(without serious devotion to figuring out what is going on) then it might as well be crap in the first place. At least spaghetti code can be fairly easy to hack because there's usually lots of duplication and specialized code, making it straight forward to step through with a debugger and make a change without mysteriously borking the entire app. Elegant code, ironically, can be more flimsy because it's usually written assuming that the system stays perfect, and changes to the system reveal single points of failure.

Clean code can be written without necessarily going overboard with elegance to the point where it's not easy to understand. Even dirty code can be workable given documentation(can just be comments explaining what things do) and consistency.

But, what if Jan Rudolph de Lorm, the museum director was actually moving it to a safer location and accidentally destroyed it. Jans quick-thinking jumped into play and he called up a few college historian friends and asked for some help.

Jan was able to disable the alarm so her friends could come in and smash the place up, leave evidence that it was stolen, then activated the alarm just at the right time.

Jan had become good friends with Andreas Blühm, the director of the Groninger Museum and finally convinced him to let the Singer Laren museum take it on loan. Jan was so distraught there was no way he could could let himself be seen as an incompetent museum director. He had to cover his tracks.

He convinced his old historian friends to keep quiet about the cover-up by cutting up the remains of the painting and giving them each a piece. A story to be kept in secrecy only handed down each generation.

But Jan forgot one thing.......

For every one of these stories there are two ways it can go: The first is it turns out the senior dev is jaundiced in their view and the problem was improvable/fixable, or thee senior dev is right and the junior dev is about to go and waste a whole load of time on something they've already been told is a waste of time.

As a manager I always hated these situations, firstly, because the problem the juinor dev is trying to fix is almost never as productive as "Hey let's upgrade to python3", it's more like "Hey let's migrate to this specific version of this specific tool that I happened to use on one of my pet projects" or "I've got this incredibly ambitious plan to change everything about this peice of code you gave me to work on" (You're only looking at that code at all because it's simple, relatively unimportant and we're trying to ease you into the team).

The problem is if it is the junior dev whose wrong you're now going to start seeing all these new issues because you've taken someone whose intuition isn't quite there yet and given them something incredibly complex to do. That's when you get into work 2 weeks later and find their mega-commit changing 2,395 files changing tabs to spaces and auto-modifying everything to camel case. Taking a chance on that intern's pet project means a lot of support from others in the team.

Maybe there are just lots of FAANG engineers on HN, but it's amusing how many people overestimate the size and scope of the projects most software developers work on. There's so much discouragement and pessimism if a software wasn't written to handle millions of requests, or intended to live on for 15+ years.

On the contrary, there's software written all the time that has a realistic lifetime of a few years before it's either replaced with a 3rd party alternative or rewritten by some disgruntled programmer. Deadlines and business priorities often mean that foregoing what most of us would tout as "best practices" actually makes sense. Some software is only used by 10 people at a time, and can be maintained by one or two engineers. It probably makes more sense for the engineers to choose what's best for them and the company over what most people would say are the right things to do. There are people I know who don't write tests for their software(something I don't know that I would ever do), but each piece of software they write is small and has a lifespan of a few years at most, and the advantage to removing barriers to development is that they can make changes very quickly and get things done.
