Most scientists are not great at math either.

Again: these are tools that are means to an end. They only need to work well enough to get the researcher to that end.

A lot of what are considered essential practices by expert programmers are conventions centered around long-term productivity in programming. You can get a right answer out of a computer without following those conventions. Lots of people did back in the day before these conventions were created.

That's not to say that everybody with horrible code is getting the right answers out of it. I'm sure many people are screwing up! My point is just that ugly code does not automatically produce wrong answers just because it is ugly.

By analogy, I'm sure any carpenter would be horrified at how I built my kayak rack. But it's been holding up kayaks for 10 years and really, that's all it needs to do.

I will add that in general, statistical analysis of data is not by itself adequate for scientific theory--no matter how sophisticated the software is. You need explanatory causal mechanisms as well, which are discovered by humans through experimentation and analysis.

And you can do science very well with just the latter. Every grand scientific theory we have available to us today was created without good programming ability, or really the use of computers at all. Many were created using minimal math, for example evolution by natural selection, or plate tectonics. Even in physics, Einstein came up with relativity first, and only then went and learned the math to describe it.

For the most part we aren't talking about computational biologists but experimentalists using Excel. People at the bench need to collect their data somehow, and using Excel for tabular data and Word for text data is just what they know. Typically they then pass these files over to computational biologists for analysis. Yes, it would be nice if they would use more appropriate tools, but I know from experience that the typical result of trying to teach them better tools is the experimentalists just rolling their eyes and saying that they don't have time to learn some nerdy program because they have experiments to run.

My Pixel 2 XL has been humming along nicely, even on Android 10. Maybe I should worry how Android 11 will run on it--it will be the last update planned for this phone, and hence an opportunity for Google to make me unsatisfied with my old phone--but as it stands now I have no performance complaints whatsoever.
Wow. I have to say that I have never considered the case where insects needed to be saved. It seems to me that as lifeforms go, they have been the most durable form of multi-cellular life on the planet.

That said, that there are negative systemic effects on the planet's ecosystems that are directly related to the massive production and use of herbicides and pesticides is not as surprising.

Light though? Even after reading that article and looking through scholar.google to find papers that associate lighting with insect decline, I'm not convinced the use of lighting at night has a material impact. The ratio of unlit/lit habitat seems wildly in favor of unlit.

And yes, I understand that unlit areas are often agricultural, and those areas contain the most insecticide/herbicides. It still appears to me that the root cause is the use of those products in farms and not that cities are poor replacement habitats.
Hopefully this won't go far. Federal law is supposed to be a minimum and States can go more restrictive (i.e. regulation through NN).
Tangent: I once tried to help a friend (non-coder) with his slow excel sheet. He was using string search in excel to match virus DNA fragments. As you’d expect, it was way more complicated than neccesary, and likely buggy. I searched around for something better. But if you cant code, its a really big step to ditch your excel and learn a Programming language. But there is no such thing. It’s understandable that people stick with what they know, but the results are awful.
Ecosystems are delicate and fragile. But if you destroy one, there’s a good chance it very soon will be replaced with a new one, where the new niches are occupied by different species. At first it will be species that that aren’t very specialised, like rats and cockroaches. But after just a few million years you might have something as diverse and rich as the system you destroyed.

I can assure you that if you prepend what you type with a single quote, or an apex or a double quote, what you type will be interpreted a text in Excel, respectively left, center and right aligned.

Even a number, i.e. "45 will result in 45(right aligned), and a small green triangle in top left corner and if you hover on it with the mouse it will pop-up something to the effect of "number formatted as text".
Yes, it is a software company. And I personally agree with you, I'm just stating that not everyone does (to my eternal frustration, perhaps, but I can't impose that on others)
Definitely a fair point!

2) $90 / mo / user for diffing datasets of unlimited size
3) Cross-database diff, on-prem (AWS/GCP/data center) deploy, Single-sign-on are in custom-priced enterprise bucket.

Apple has support statuses for discontinued products which kick in five years ("vintage") and seven years ("obsolete") after the it stops being sold.

It's disingenuous for Google to start counting when the product is released. As the buyer, I don't care when it was released, I care when you sold it to me as new. I could buy a Chromecast Ultra (the current-generation 4K Chromecast, released November 2016: https://store.google.com/us/product/chromecast_ultra) and, by this standard (which may not even apply to Chromecasts, FWIW), they could discontinue it and drop support for it tomorrow.
The throttling didn’t happen until later, and was dependent on battery health. If you were having issues in the first year it wasn’t the throttling it was probably another issue with the device. I had an iPad like that and was able to get it replaced with the same generation and then-current OS, any issues like yours disappeared with the new hardware.
It's maybe not too surprising that a device that works by shining a light through your skin is affected by pigments in the skin.

It's also my experience of research in biological sciences that it is a widespread belief/fact that in order to get published in a top journal, the analysis methods must be "fancy", for example involving sophisticated statistical techniques. I worked on computational statistical methods so I'm not against that per se, but the problem is that if you have the training to contribute at the research front of an area of biology you rarely have the training to understand the statistics. Some would say that the collaborative publication model is the solution to that, but in many cases the end result isn't what one would hope for. I do think that less emphasis on "fancy" statistics, and more emphasis on simple data visualizations and common sense analyses would be a good thing.
Nice work, it looks really polished! What I would suggest improving is the single user experience: what I can do without involving friends. Right now I only see a huge list of strangers in alphabetical order. Picking someone at random seems pointless. However, if strangers could be sorted by match, that could be really interesting. That could also serve as a benchmark for my matchscore with friends.

If this is prohibitively costly in your current setup, I would suggest mapping each user profile to an embedding vector and find best matches using approximate nearest neighbors, that scales really well.

That's not a fair comparison. PCs have barely gotten faster in the last 10 years. 20 years ago you could spend $2000 every 3 years and get a 10x better computer. Not so last 10 years. Aside from graphics cards the hardware has not gotten noticeably better or faster for day to day work.

So of course you can upgrade to windows 10.

Phone hardware has. Very much so.

Weak symptoms from COVID-19 are likely due to the ~ 30% match with the Mumps vaccine. People who've had their MMR shots do better, on average against SARS-COV-2 than those (like older people) who haven't had it.

When I was fifteen, I had mononucleosis. For about three months, I spent large portions of my time in bed. I didn't go outside, except to go to the doctor for checkups, and to the library on the way back from the doctor's office.

The next five years were awful. I still had bouts of extreme fatigue, muscle soreness, joint pain, inability to concentrate... This lasted for 5 years. (I graduated a semester late from high school. The kids used to joke about my absences that I was working on my time machine and hadn't quite perfected it yet.) At the time, the name "Chronic Fatigue Syndrome" was new coinage. There are other names for it now.

Every so often, I'll get an enlarged spleen, fevers (100+ degrees in the evenings), pain, fatigue. It usually happens when I've been under significant stress (new child, moving, new job, the pandemic). Blood work shows very little, and the symptoms go away after a few weeks.

There's so much we still don't know about how viruses affect us as individuals over the long term. Let alone how we as a species adapt to them. Take Multiple Sclerosis, for example. It turns out that we carry MS in our genes, likely as a adaptation to a virus we once had trouble with. Every so often, something happens to some of us, and the adopted sequence of what was likely an external virus gets activated. That is, MS is an endogenous retrovirus.

Over the longer term, what will SARS-COV-2 do to us? It's really hard to say. I'm going to do my best to avoid it. I have enough trouble dealing with whatever it is I already have.

For those people blathering about "rights", those freedoms you enjoy require corresponding measures of personal responsibility. You have a right not to where a mask, but you have the corresponding responsibility to not be so selfish in enclosed public spaces. If I ask you to wear a mask, I'm not trying to be your nanny attempting to force you into doing what's good for you. It isn't for your protection, it's for mine.
Microsoft has migrated nearly all non business users to Edge. Using IE gets big scary warnings to use Edge when using Bing and MSN and most consumer websites don’t support it any more. It is safe to assume that IE usage is forced usage by companies. Web developers should boycott companies that use IE.

I tell my work mates I spend probably 8+ hours in the kitchen during the weekend doing meal prep and they are some combination of aghast and disbelieving. Yes, 8+ if you want to eat decent, we're not being fancy. You can't just get groceries and come home to stuff them in the fridge. They need to be semi-prepped: unwrapped, minor cleaning, portioning out. Herbs and greens need to be washed and stored properly or they'll spoil. Want good soup? Have to break down the chicken to make stock, defat and freeze it. There's also the planning aspect, if you wake up on Saturday and start the grocery list, it's too late. I like to say "I like cooking", but most of cooking is drudgery: peel carrots, potatoes, break down chicken, trim the meat, manage food portion and storage. It's a huge time suck and if I factor in the cost of my time it's exorbitant. Having said all that, there is no reasonable alternative for me, right now. Everything else is garbage or unpalatable or exorbitant, and I still have to do supplemental cooking. I'm resigned to the fact that cooking, eating, cleaning, laundry is all part of living and I can't pay for all of it to go away. I'm trying to be a better planner, and chop and peel faster.
I think it's hilarious your comment was downvoted. Plainly it's finite. Otherwise, we'd just live on printed money forever and nobody would have to work anymore. What could go wrong?!
That's really interesting! The new steam controller keyboard takes advantage of the dual touchpads to give you the split hunt and peck as described in the study. You can see how there are larger targets for certain letters, and more total inputs that can be picked. However, you have to look at the keyboard to type, it's not a solution for the touch typing problem.

https://i.stack.imgur.com/XDNKX.png

Having experience with precise angles on a gamecube controller in Super Smash Bros Melee, I can't help but feel like I would prefer the penultimate solution in the article you linked, with appropriate zones that can be targeted directly. Locking you to a quadrant and forcing most letters to be a compound input doesn't seem worth it to me. You could also definitely improve the quadrant system by allowing you to break into a new quadrant without returning to the center, maybe by passing the vertical or horizontal center line, depending on the quadrant. But, I obviously haven't tried it myself.

Compression algos come with their own disadvantages. Varint encoding exploits the normal distribution/Benford's law type reality that the vast majority of fixed point numbers tend to be closer to zero than their upper bounds. As fast as lz4 is, encoding & decoding varint is way, way faster. There are other advantages too... lz4 works at the block level, rather than the field level, so you have effects from surrounding fields and the need to decode all the fields/records at once. You also need a certain size block for it to really be useful...

There are cases where what you are saying makes a lot of sense, and for that you have things like FlatBuffers & CapnProto.
Face unlock and masks are the bane of my existence right now. I'm honestly strongly considering removing the lock screen alltogether.
> You know who will, and don't care about the resource usage? Organizations.

They won't because it's too inefficient to even make sense. You're running it as a loss. You're better off paying for a service that is profitable like Slack.

For example, a lot of people are pushing for colleges to run matrix and give every student an account, just like they do with email.

If they did that, they'd be sunk financially though lol.

Even if organizations did run fediverse servers, that defeats the whole point of the fediverse. I don't even know why I'm writing this comment though, because I'm proven right be the fact that the activitypub team is working to solve the very issues that I am talking about. So they clearly think it's a problem and agree with me.

Plaid is (maybe) secure connection to my account. It enables you to scrape my account without storing my password.

None of that tells us whether our data is secure or private with you. You say that the data is encrypted, but is it encrypted at rest? Can your developers see my data, or does it require a key from one of my devices?

Healthcare B2B and B2C.

B2B side has been moving slowly off IE11, but moving faster since the start of the year and with most of the rest of the customers targeting to be off of it originally by end of quarter. Currently sitting around 40% but if they go through with their plans to upgrade by end of quarter then will be around 5%

B2C side is much lower, the users who visit not very frequently or are newer that use IE is low single digits. On the other hand we have some long term continuous use users who use IE at a higher rate than the B2B side

It may be possible if you reduce menu choices to 4-5 / day and sell monthly pass i.e. you'll have to buy at least 20 meals a month. This will allow for bulk cooking and bundle delivery to reduce the costs. Fixed demand allows you to predict cost and expenditure.

Absolutely. Chinese definitely taking over the part of the world I am from. I suppose the difference is Chinese "seem" to stay out of any governance matters.

The way that ("Lampen austreten") works is because the vibration causes the plasma to "disembark" from the electrodes, which opens the electrical circuit, which prevents further power flow into the lamp, which lets the plasma cool down quickly. There's a thermal cutoff switch in the lamp that prevents it from re-igniting on a hot lamp, so the entire lamp needs to cool down before it turns back on.
