Mhm.. you can't wrap a still to 180°, that is not the same effect. The focal point would need to be right where you want to take the shot. I'm more thinking of something like that: https://www.amazon.com/Industrial-Synchronized-Security-Coun.... But the lenses need to be closer together and be able to stay in focus at a much closer range. Maybe IMAX had done some macro (insects) stereo documentary.
1984, Brave New World, and now Fahrenheit 451. Reading these books as a kid I thought holy hell, what an awful place to live. Now they are all becoming true. It's weird.
I've ever understood these kind of questions. IMHO never learn a programming language just to learn it. Actually, I would go further and say don't even study for a CS degree. Programming has become more popular now a days, with designers, marketers, financial people and others learning to program in their domain languages. The barrier to programming is even getting thinner with the advent of low-code platforms.

Than being said, my advise is to study for a domain that interest you, for example I am a Control Engineer. Then learn the programming language of your domain.

In my domain the design language is Matlab/Simulink, then when I got into the job market I realized that my career would benefit by learning 61131 (PLC languages), C and C++. So I learnt that. Now I am very good with the Qt framework, for example, which allowed me to enter a broader market of industrial application development.

So stop looking for an language to learn and better look for a domain that will ensure that you will have a job in the future. Then learn the language of that domain.
CodeBind: Tying papers to their experiment code
Hi everyone,

We made a tool which enables researchers to directly bind their paper text to experiment code.
Please check out our demo video to get a high-level idea of the approach:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-0UsitQxkAswqOrOpS6w-xtFbmz9kpQK/view

If that piques your interest, please see:

The paper draft: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Wdu1X0Qq_0HcNk6NY_uuCY7N7c0AmpS8/view

GitHub repo: https://github.com/a01b2f/codebind-paper

We are posting anonymously, because the paper is under double-blind review, but we see no reason to not get as much feedback as possible right away -- this is a very applied project, which we are hoping a diverse set of researchers will use, and help improve.

Thanks!
How to build dynamic pipelines in Airflow (part 2) Architecture and Metadata
You're not joking I was part of the search for wmds in the desert for George w bush. I lived Mission oriented personal protection for 3 years every day huge positive ventilation suits. A protocol written by CDC. Part of our war training taught us to never hand out disposable masks to civilians they don't have the muscle memory or the knowledge to properly use them, proper use is to never touch disposable mask and once you do destroy it immediately. Improper use of disposal mask will speed up the spread by several fold. All in my hand gide I still have. it has nothing to do with the construction of the mask and everything to do with how you use it.
How could one formulate an experiment that would enable a research group to determine whether the higher suicide incidence rate in individuals identifying as transgendered be attributed to 1) underlying mental illness or 2) despite performing surgery and therapeutic measures that enables these individuals to fulfill their own personal desires in these areas, are still not satisfied (either based on social or internal psychological pressures) or 3) something else?

Truly honestly curious. I can't admit to understanding the state of mind in this group of clearly marginalized people, but I can't wrap my mind around the decision to not allow others as well as these same people to freely discuss what is effectively open research.

Aren't there statistics that seem to indicate an even higher suicide attempt rate post-op? This seems like something that should be discussed, if it is true (and if its not, then even more so... to set the record straight).
And the Link I posted explains it just fine. Anyway, I actually wrote some code to generate wheels not too long ago: https://git.sr.ht/~bjoli/wheel-utils
Regardless of your thoughts on whether this particular case qualifies as mental illness, we need to work to de-stigmatize mental illness. Being diagnosed with a mental illness should not be considered any more harmful than being diagnosed with any other type of illness. When you hear someone has an illness, you probably feel compassionate towards them, and mental illness should be no different in this respect.

I can't imagine the frustration of psychiatrists with the common man's narrative that “mentally ill” is an insult.

When a psychiatrist calls a man mentally ill, he seeks not to insult him any more than when a heart surgeon tells a man he is in need of heart surgery, but when the common man says “You're mentally.”, that is seldom earnest advice or concern, but rather a cheap insult, and consequently there is a cultural push to declassify many mental illnesses as such, all which would accomplish is that, say, health insurance coverage would no longer cover hormonal replacement therapy and genital confirmation surgeries, two effective treatments against the illness of gender dysphoria.

The psychiatric consensus is indeed that gender dysphoria, a dehabilitating condition which affect's a man's functioning in society is a mental illness, as well as having various treatments therefore, — but since “mental illness” has become an insult in common parlance, one must be quite careful as to how to phrase that nowadays.

I have a low opinion of the man who feels that “mental illness” is an insult, it speaks of his own views of the mentally ill and how he probably treats them as lepers and pariahs.

I'm not sure why you think that's germane.

Amazon Inc owns the privilege of choosing what they offer for sale just like any other business. This is free enterprise, my friend. Should we also demand that vegan grocers sell meat? Are we to raise a ruckus if our local 7-11 doesn't also serve eggplant parm with its taquitos?
It works but it's fork of 5yo code base and upstream had several releases in the meantime
You’re right. Hormone therapy, surgical interventions, etc. — they all fail to meet the absolute goal of transition. But they’re good enough until we have something better. What is not better, is arguing that a discussion still needs to be had on whether or not we should consider transgender individuals as if they are deluded and mentally ill.

I can't tell how many users we have, or who they are. Unless they directly interact by e.g. raising a GitHub issue, I won't know they exist.

In my broader experience, almost no bioinformaticians use Julia. I think we, as a field, are more conservative than e.g. physicists when it comes to technology. My old institute taught me Perl as the lingua franca of bioinformatics as late as 2015 (but switched to Python the year after).

I think we, as a field, have been consistently fairly poor at choosing our programming tools. Old bioinfo scripts are cluttered mess of write-only spaghetti-Perl. Most bioinformaticians I know don't use Biopython or Bioperl or anything similar, but rather creates new programs or packages by either re-implementing the basics from scratch, or by duct-taping together static binaries and/or scripts through shell commands.

We will never get rid of having to use static binaries or external scripts, but I think BioJulia at least have a decent chance of stopping people from re-implementing the basics again and again, and providing a central "platform" that various external scripts communicate through (e.g. an old Perl script may produce DNA as a FASTA file, when can then be fed into BioJulia). The main issue is to have bioinformaticians understand the current situation is problematic.

It doesn't take much to have a big impact, I think. If we had an ecosystem of the most basic data types (biosequences, kmers, phylogenetic trees and protein structures), a collection of well-known fundamental functions to operate on them, and parsers for the 20 most common formats, we would already have a very compelling ecosystem.
Given the number of things we find that work on mice but not humans, I wonder how many things that would work on humans we haven't followed up on because they did not work on mice?
One is the content owner and the other is a distributor offering a platform and a market. They are also an ebooks monopoly and control more than half of US book sales in general. Censorship actions taken by them have effects as impactful as censorship actions undertaken by governments. Now they’re also abusing their monopoly to hinder the activities of libraries (https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2021/03/10/amazon-...).

These big tech companies have way too much centralized power and influence. They should be regulated like utilities (required to uphold first amendment and provide equal service to everyone) or broken up or both.
When my daughter was in elementary school, she and I prepared a presentation where her teacher would be the sun, a soccer ball Jupiter, a volleyball saturn, and so on. Earth was a blue marble, moon a playdoh pellet. Distances where trickier and we did our best to associate them with local landmarks: bakery, park, ... Quite a bit of fun. For some time we kept calling the soccer ball Jupiter.
Yep my father used to be a youth social worker. To say any mental health issue is solved is a gross error. They can help people but each sickness and person takes a lot to figure out and years of counseling.
Consistent cmd+x/c/v is great.

I've tried replicating this experience in Linux in many different ways over the years, but the best approach was to add `altwin(ctrl_alt_win)` to xkeyboard preferences together with custom `ctrl_space_toggle` for layout toggle. It achieves almost the same effect as Kinto without an additional daemon: physical Alt maps to Ctrl (Cmd in terms of Mac layout), Ctrl works as Super and Super/Win works as Alt — the closest, I think, to Apple keyboard layout. It event works fine in Wayland (sway).

Considering the terminal, remap your favorite terminal emulator to send control codes via Super+A..Z (physical Ctrl+A..Z), and unmap/remap to the required action Ctrl+A..Z (physical "Cmd"+A..Z). It works fine in Konsole and great in Alacritty. (unfortunately, I also have to add a second set of mappings for my native non-latin keyboard layout, because at toolkit-level keys are translated to latin layout, but remapping works only for a single layout).

Of course, it's only a half of the equation. Another part is Option/Compose. On Mac I used MathUnicode.keylayout. It was great, and it was a pleasure to tweak it for my needs. Xkeyboard with .XCompose (e.g. [1]) has two disadvantages: you can't use a key as both Multi key and e.g. Alt modifier simultaneously, and you don't see the composition preview. On Lenovo at least you can use `compose(prsc)` to make your left Win key an «Option-modifier» and its right PrtSc counterpart an «Option-compose».

Kids are playing soccer with all kinds of weird goal sizes, the standard one at the schools I've seen was about 50% the size of the "real" ones. Nobody really talks about it because it doesn't matter as long as it's the same size for both sides.

Kids are also often playing with 1 goal and 1 goalkeeper and 2 teams trying to score (you have to move past half the pitch after regaining possession before shooting)- that way on 1 field you can have 2 games going on at once and only 1 person has to be the goalie in each of these games.

And we've played soccer on random backyards - you just put 2 backpacks as the goalposts and you're ready to go. I think the focus on rules and dimensions is very american, kids just want to dribble and shoot, the score and the minute details aren't important :).

As for replay they were introduced in high-level football last few years. It's called VAR and most fans hate it because it spoils the celebrations after a goal is scored and you have to wait to know if it's really a goal or not.
Who decides where the line runs between the two?
> The PC and Linux worlds are not going to adopt Mac keyboard layouts. As the one oddball computer manufacturer that uses their own layout, perhaps it's time for Apple to offer PC keyboard layouts as an option on their machines out of consideration for people who have to use multiple platforms.

I switch between Mac, Linux, and Windows. The Mac is the only one with a usable, consistent terminal. Linux and Windows both have really fucked up copy/paste. Shift+Insert, Control+Shift+V, right-click, middle-click… what a goddamn mess. For some reason, Windows, which was supposed to have “right-click brings up a contextual menu everywhere” decides to make right-click do some weird almost X11-like copy-pasting in the terminal. Linux at least has the half-sane Control+Shift+C and Control+Shift+V but there’s multiple clipboards, and different applications may only use a subset of those.

Mac? ⌘C copy. ⌘V paste. Everywhere. Terminal, no terminal, same everywhere. Hands stay in center of keyboard where they belong. No reaching for the “insert” key, which is a recipe for typos.

Let’s not make the Mac worse just to make things consistent.

Three years ago I booked a flight to San Juan (SJU), Puerto Rico by mistake. I was supposed to go to San Jose (SJO) in Costa Rica.

I will never forget the moment I read "SJO" in the email realizing I should have booked a flight to "SJU". Then going into Google, and typing SJO to find out where I was actually flying. I was prepared for it to be in Asia, Africa or anywhere. Luckily, Puerto Rico was just a small detour to Costa Rica (flew from Europe) :-)

It started off original enough I felt. It had an idea of its own, but very quickly just ended up copying the style, without really hitting home.

Still, I can't fault the author for giving it practice, and it is amusing enough to read.
As someone else said in this thread, there's a difference between an open dialogue about the mental health impact when dealing with sexual identity, and identifying this sexual identity as "illness". That's a subtle distinction, and one which itself needs discussion.

Talking about a thing is always, always better than not taking about it. That should be the default stance, IMO.
> What is not better, is arguing that a discussion still needs to be had on whether or not we should consider transgender individuals as if they are [...] mentally ill.

Why?
My race and ethnicity has nothing to do with whether or not I am actively oppressing others. Whether these are correlated right now is irrelevant to how we should be behaving in a modern day, postmodern civil society.

Not sure the rest of your post makes any sense. I don't consider myself a racist or a sexist and I find it appalling that I am unable to comment on ongoing social issues without being called a "white male" or being told that my opinions are invalid because my lack of melanin seems to imply I am part of an elite group of oppressors. This is insulting and lacks any intellectual merit.

I mapped intr to control g some 30 years ago. It's the interrupt key in emacs. I gave up after some months because I still had to use control c on any terminal that I didn't control.

By the way, I don't even know if I could paste with control c or control shift c back then. Maybe there was only middle click.

I could try again now and see what happens.

> A possible solution could be to expand the goalie-only area around the net. That would, in theory, force opponents to focus more on shooting and not on piling around the goalie.

The point of the article is that the goalies are too big and therefore you have to crowd the net to even get a chance of scoring. Banning the crowding does not solve the root cause. The result (if the article is correct) would be a game with much fewer goals, probably boring.

A few years ago, there was a bit of a backlash against all the tourists treating the city as a theme park, so the city is trying to make it a bit less tourist-focused.

At the same time, they're trying to share the tourism with the rest of the country by naming everything Amsterdam. Zandvoort is now "Amsterdam Beach", and I believe even Friesland has been called "Amsterdam Lake District" now, despite being on the other side of the country.
The second is harmful only because people such as you treat the mentally ill as pariahs and lesser human beings.

Do you also believe that classifying something as a corporeal illness is harmful?

I can't imagine the frustration felt by psychiatrists and other mental health specialists when they see that saying that a man is in need of help to improve his life, which they can give, is now considered harmful because men such as you consider that worthy of such scorn.

I happen to be mentally ill and have received treatment for that, I also happen to be physically ill and also have received treatment for that, it has definitely improved my life that treatment for my ailments exists and that I was classified as such, so that such treatment could be provided by the system of universal healthcare where I live.
The issue with categorizing gender dysphoria as a mental illness is no different than categorizing homosexuality as a mental illness. The gender dysphoria is a problem derived from what is effectively a birth defect. If someone had a malformed limb and because this has clear impediments in their life in social and physical terms, they experience depression with their physical condition. We don’t say “oh, your body dysmorphia is a mental illness, you just need therapy”, as not only is that a shit take, but now prosthetics are more viable and advanced.
Thats one possibility, sure. We'll evaluate the best approach when we get to setting it up. Thanks for your suggestion, appreciate it!
