Reread your and the previous post. You make hardly a point towards it. What is new with streaming is that music is much faster produced, consumed and forgotten. Streaming is part of the Problem. You cannot expect capitalist in the industry to step back and prefer quality over quantity and the streaming industry neither. As long there is cash on the table some one will grab it. Actually everyone is part of the problem from consumer to artist. It's just the question whether you perceive it as problem or not.
Reverse Engineering the Source Code of the BioNTech/Pfizer SARS-CoV-2 Vaccine
I don't think Framer did as well as they were hoping.

The whole react component thing didn't turn out to be the killer feature collaboration was for figma. Framer has a lot of cool stuff, their plugin system is really powerful So you can have things like 3d elements which is super cool.

I am sure people use it, but it didn't grow in popularity like Figma did. I think with any kind of product, there's often a world of stuff happening under the surface that leads to success. I don't know why Framer hasn't been as successful. One guess would be that people just don't find writing react components and tying it to their design tool to be useful. Potentially too much friction, or that the people doing the designing don't often write react code. Or maybe they didn't market it well enough.

The question of components in design is really interesting but it's a whole other issue.

I do know that along with Adobe XD, Framer has had some issues with bugs. Figma, I would expect, is a lot more stable because they have their own custom renderer that's one canvas element whereas other tools use the DOM. It's one of the reasons why Figma is so feature-poor, they have implement a lot of behavior themselves.

This is great, I've been working on stuff like this as well, using LoRa.

I'm in the same boat and looking to learn pcb design to make my own hardware. Any recommendations you can give?
I'm a big XFCE fan but multimonitor support is still iffy, especially if one is a HDPI one and another not, as the scaling applies to all monitors.
You are right, he loves math but his language is weak. Trying to see on how to leverage that interest. At some point language is needed to understand and solve math problems where he gets lost.

As an aside, he has an obsession with prime numbers. If allowed, he would sit down and play with prime number calculator forever to see if a number is prime and look up its prime factors. Now, given a number up to 10000, he can tell the factors from memory.

Will check on the Legos connection.
I agree. I had the Monogram F-19 model based on the Loral mockup, along with an SR-71 model. I didn't know a whole lot about airplanes at the time so I didn't realize one of them was fake. It was very plausible, when it's sitting next to an SR-71. I never thought twice about it being a real thing.
Not to take away from some of these comments, but the article does not mention anything about casual observation of the eyes signalling mental health issues. The article is highlighting research on diagnosing disorders of the brain using ophthalmological methods (e.g. optical coherence tomography to measure retinal thickness, electroretinography to measure electrical signaling in rods and cones, and angiography to assess retinal vasculature). Apparently, these non-invasive methods may be used as an additional diagnostic tool in diagnosis of a variety of disorders, and may even be early indicators of brain disorders that have not yet manifested themselves in psychological disturbances.
Is this good for people with dry eyes?

I would only ask this on HN on Xmas :).

Seems you can complete a purchase but not download the game you want. Yet Nintendo status seems fine (https://www.nintendo.com/consumer/network/en_na/network_status.jsp).

Me and my kids are missing out on our Xmas screentime spree!
Good suggestions, thanks.

More or less, though LXC (and LXD using the LXC backend) are focused on system containers rather than single services. Basically lightweight VMs with a full init and the usual set of set of system daemons.
The biggest issue you run into with ISM band mesh networks is they are competing with the rest of the world's WiFi networks. In the 2.4GHz band there's three non-overlapping channels available. If you've got three overlapping networks in some area and they're all using a different overlapping channel you're fine. As soon as the density increases beyond that best case you have channel overlap and interference between the networks. The more users on any individual network the more interference and less usable bandwidth for each node.

Enterprise type deployments use tons and tons of micro cells. Each WAP has a low power output so they each end up with a small coverage area and are wired up for backhaul into the core network.

Solving mesh routing is pretty straightforward but the physics of the PHY layer are much more difficult. A mesh network in a suburban or rural area ends up more practical than an urban one.

Moving to 5GHz for a mesh can help but the range and penetration is much worse. Every node in the mesh would need aerial directional antennas to effectively link to one another. That ends up making everything more expensive or against HOA rules or whatever.

Even if you've got all the physical issues handled you've still got bandwidth issues. More than a handful of clients on a node will start to contest for bandwidth. If any connection between sets of nodes bottlenecks through a single node (which happens all the time due to geography) a whole segment of the mesh can have their bandwidth reduced.

Meshes are cool and there's lots of capability available at small scales but they tend to fall down quickly at larger scales because they're trying to squeeze into relatively narrow unlicensed radio bands.
> The people who tested positive with the new strain, which is said to spread more easily and was blamed for a recent spike in infections in the U.K., returned to Japan this month — two at Tokyo's Haneda airport and and three at Kansai International Airport in Osaka.

This is talking about the SARS-CoV-2 VOC 202012/01 variant [0], aka B.1.1.7., aka carrying the N501Y mutation.

No news here, other than confirmed spread to Japan.

I don’t know how I feel about that advice. I’d think a better one is: don’t get too snoby. It was shown that wine experts can’t tell between a very expensive wine and a good wine with a normal price. It’s all a matter of taste. Same for movies: sure that movie has been done a thousand times, but watch it like you were watching this genre for the first time.
As discussed on TWiV yesterday, B.1.1.7 isn't a "strain," which has demonstrably different biological properties, but is still considered a "variant."

https://www.microbe.tv/twiv/twiv-697/

Any biological differences are theorized solely from the genome at this point. In the episode, Racaniello is at pains to point out that genomic differences alone don't imply biological differences in say transmission, and things like founder effects might also explain the variant's prevalance. We simply don't know yet.

There's a neat cautionary example at 35:10 which I'll try to summarize here. Polio was endemic, with low incidence, for thousands of years. Around 1900 it went from endemic to epidemic. Why? Did it suddenly mutate into a deadlier or more transmissable strain? While we don't have polio sequences from before and after 1900 to compare, we do know that rapid improvements in sanitation delayed exposure to the polio virus. Babies were now encountering the virus after maternal antibodies to it had waned! And it turns out this adequately explains the spike in polio a century ago.

Goes to show how complex the dynamics of these systems can be!
There are two main reasons why I say nobody besides Google is really allowed to crawl the web.

The first is that Google gets much more access to pages on websites than everybody else. You can see this by examining the robots.txt files of various websites[0]. I've been doing this for several years now and Google has a consistent advantage across many thousands websites that I've looked at. This adds up to a significant advatnage and many search engine operators complain about how it hampers their ability to compete with Google[1].

The second is that Google gets to ignore crawl delay directive in robots.txt while other search engines don't[2]. Website operators cannot tell Google how fast they want their website crawled, they can only request that Google slow down. If another search engine tried to do what Google does, they would likely be blocked by many important websites.

From the docs: https://doc.redox-os.org/book/ch04-10-everything-is-a-url.ht...
It’s not remotely clear that this strain is easier to transmit. It’s entirely hypothesis and speculation.

We have seen strains quickly accelerate because of founder effect several times in 2020, and particular strains dominate in particular regions. The experimental studies that are needed to confirm a claim of evolutionary advantage have not been done, and the observational evidence is weak.

Those who would panic about this should be just as circumspect in their their claims as those who would dismiss it.
The situation exists entirely because Google created it, they designed a HAL (hardware abstraction layer) with the intention of letting device manufacturers design devices while skirting GPLv2 requirements.

There is for an example an interesting market in medical radiology imaging. This is a profession like many other who is always looking for ways to reduce eye strain. they see it as an occupational hazard: http://europepmc.org/article/PMC/5449879

This is relevant for pretty much any knowledge worker job as well.

Did China suppress information about H2H transmission?
Not horrible or shocking, but concerning. Mutation is expected but the more strains there are the more likely one turns out to be unaffected by the vaccine and we find ourselves back at square one.

You must be one of those people who hasn't used Big Sur yet...Windows has issues, but it's inexcusable for Apple to have so many problems when they control literally all aspects of the hardware and software stack.

That being said, your options for superior laptop hardware include the business models of Lenovo and Dell, or if you need the graphical capabilities, Alienware or ASUS gaming laptops.

Windows laptops are hardier than their Apple counterparts at every price point. Everyone I know with an Apple laptop has had to have it replaced under warranty (in a few cases, multiple times), but my Latitudes from college and law school and my Lenovos from old jobs still work. I couldn't even tell you whether Dell or Lenovo warranties are any good because I've never had to use them. I got my cousins an HP laptop from Best Buy about a decade ago, and it's traveled all across India, in trains, on elephants, been dropped a few dozen times, and other than disgustingly sticky keys and a dented frame, it still works like new.

And with the superior hardware, you also get the freedom to install whatever software you want, to use whatever hardware you want, to not worry about whether software you purchased last year will still run on you computer, it's truly liberating. Sure, it's not as shiny or skeumorphic as Mac, but the trade-off is infinitely greater usability.

I don't mean to sound like a Windows fanboy, but once you understand why Windows is so much better you'll never want to use macOS again.
Very interesting. Is it possible for us reach out to you understand the ideas better? Didn't see contact info in profile. I have my email in my profile.
Isn't this what happened with the 1918 flu? It mutated to be less deadly add became the seasonal flu.

I remember Ruby on Rails first being announced, and Why's Poignant Guide, and the first PragProg book about Rails (as well as Try Ruby).

Back then I was a teenager and doing most of my stuff in PHP, because in 2006/2007 most of the resources about PHP and MySQL I could find were all about that, and I was still at the level of just injecting some PHP into my HTML to make it dynamic (back then Javascript/DHTML was something you copied and pasted and there was only rarely a reason to seriously use it). This was the era of PHP, Cold Fusion, classic ASP, CGI and so on. Not to mention that shared hosting providers (the cheapest option for web hosting) only really gave you PHP under Apache to work with (or the LAMP stack as it were).

So this Ruby on Rails looked cool but I couldn't get my head around it at first, I was still super green. Skip forward from 2007 to 2009, right before my first professional gig, and the seed had gestated. Suddenly I was running a minimal Rack/Sinatra server around a Redis app purely because I needed a leaderboard and I learned about things like ZRANK and ZADD before I understood what sorted sets were. I did try to advocate for Ruby at my first job but they were of the mindset that literally anything and everything could be built through Drupal. I will leave that thought to your imagination, although I owe my team mate a lot for properly mentoring me when it came to javascript, closures (back in the day where articles about closures in JS were the same as more recent articles about monads.) He didn't just show me jquery, he gave me the low-down on JS itself.

I'm made redundant and after that, I go deeper into Ruby. I get a job in London of all places and thus began my career as a full stack engineer specialising mainly in Rails, and Ruby. My interested in the language grew ever stronger and it remains strong to this day, a good 10 years later. I dabble in a lot of other things these days too, because that's what I enjoy, but I'll always find myself back with Ruby when I need to be pragmatic. It's a beautiful language with a strong community that values developer experience, and my only real wish is that I learn enough to be able to contribute back to the language in a meaningful way,
This I did not know about and I'm surprised they don't get penalised by Google in some way at the display of search results stage. I mean sure, I suppose one can do the -pinterest trick, but it's still a bit weird that Google thinks search results that are pretty much the same site but from different tlds are not spammy. Do you think they will change this to prevent Pinterest from essentially spamming some search queries by using the tld hack?

Windows based containers do exist. Docker for Windows can run both Linux (a VM) and Windows applications. If I'm not mistaken, both are implemented via HyperV.
Agreed - but imposing variety on an intermediate to advanced student can make them better. With a beginner starting lessons, the objective really is to make it fun + learn something.
The problem with "Amiga Lagoon" is that it's too twee -- it's kitsch. Like all kitsch it attempts to score points by appealing to our unconscious reaction to "pretty" things, as well as simplistic emotions like nostalgia or sentimentality. What's the theme or concept being explored here? That the Amiga's media fidelity is such that it can serve as a window onto another, paradisical world? There, I just solved the puzzle. You don't really need to think when observing this piece. It's all right there, spelled out for you.

By contrast, Suzanne Treister's work raises more questions than it does answers. Looking at them makes you feel a certain way, and you have to sit down and puzzle out why it makes you feel that way -- and even then, answers may not be forthcoming. The piece exists in a limbo of different possible interpretations; exploring these, and finding contradictions between them, adds depth to the work and the audience's appreciation of it.
Ugh, this is bad. Makes you wonder, why they let this happen. Do people at Google own Pinterest stocks?

Regardless of the term chosen, the concept of 'provenance' described here is the essential purpose behind the scientific notebooks used daily by experimentalists in industry and academia. Without thoroughly recording the bases for your experiment it almost surely will not be reproducible.

Where I work, (a large pharmaceutical), these notebooks are taken very seriously by biologists, chemists, and chemical engineers, and increasingly are shaping the mindset of our data scientists (who have yet to adopt them).

Given the longstanding practice of documenting experiment design and method, I think it's probably long overdue that the exploratory analysis of experiment-based data must also adopt more rigorous governance to ensure that necessity and sufficiency are ensured when drawing inferences from experiment, especially when the data used was not originally intended to answer the current question posed.
People are equal but their representation within the federal government is unequal because the states are sovereign. The federal government is supposed to do very little. Constitution gives it a few enumerated powers. Everything else is left to the states. However, beginning the the 20th century the feds began to vastly encroach on many areas by abusing the "interstate commerce" clause. For example, the court ruled the fed could limit an individual from growing "too much" wheat on his own property for his own consumption. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wickard_v._Filburn. Or perhaps a still existing federal law that prohibits a handgun from being pissed within 1000ft of a school.

there is considerable selective pressure upon the spike protien, very large changes to this protien are not frequently viable, as the virus would need to find a new trophic target or a new host altogether.

We are tracking these changes closely and concommitantly can change the sequence of mRNA, responsively, and pre-emptively if desired.
I could use this for coding and my current 1920x1200 monitor for video and games... mmm.... so yummy. I already have a Dasung product, the not-eReader which doubles as a 7" eInk monitor and I love it. It's part of my tech EDC kit which I posted to https://imgur.com/a/xmRmYSn

As a designer who can code you get a job as a Designer who can code.

I've been mentoring a Designer and friend over the last year, and I'm also teaching coding for designers since a short while.

The benefits are quite tangible: As a programmer, you still structure the application, set up the tooling, build the abstractions and the logic, but you're now freed from fiddling with pixels, because the designer has already built his prototypes with implementation in mind, can communicate intent, compromises and solutions for edge cases, and they can also implement a lot of things by themselves, sometimes with guidance. Git is not rocket science either if you give them a clear workflow and resolve issues that are beyond what you'd expect.
