Personally I'm curious about training a model to predict Cyrillic or Greek letterforms from Latin ones to boost multilingual coverage. I'm sure there are some learnable relationships there like Я <=> R or И <=> H.
Two pointer dereferences are slower than one - got to read from the top-level array, then use the pointer to read from the individual string. This way you can figure out the address of the string with about four very cheap instructions and zero memory accesses.

Plus cache locality.
I heard that they did, but the message couldn't be read because their monitors were not 4k+ ultrawide, and their software didn't have unicode emoji support at 64pt size. Plus they had the nerve to be colorblind!
The design needed to accommodate leap seconds, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DUT1 due to planetary rotation adjustments, would be fun. So much of how we define time is rooted in the Suns movement.

Then you start to get the new factor of planetary distance wobble adjustments. Which will be fun as you start to add https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-body_problem into time models.

Show HN: Invisiwind – Hide certain windows when sharing your full screen
From a last mile 3.5, 3.65 and 5.x GHz band WISP perspective, wet weather isn't what killed that, but overall better radios from the competition, for PtMP access to AP radios:

ubiquiti (rocket M5 and 5ac, and associated family of radios)

cambium pm450 and cambium's 802.11n and ac based radios

mikrotik radios

various telrad, radwin and other vendors' 802.16e based stuff (now obsolete, but wasn't quite so in 2015)

those ionica things are so weird, rare, were manufactured in very low volumes and cost way too much. these devices are from a much earlier era, around the same time as the cambium (motorola) FSK100 series PMP radios. they never achieved any significant market penetration in the global low-budget WISP equipment market.
I think you have it backwards, it was technology rendering the difference between the two obsolete that brought capitalization about. Latin just used one script or the other depending on use-case, it was when we had printing presses that we started to start codifying rules for how to mix the two scripts into one large character set.
> Is mRNA genetic material?

No, genes—well, in humans—are DNA. (RNA viruses and retroviruses have RNA genes.)

mRNA is, somewhat simplistically, a message format between genetic material and protein synthesis machinery. It has a short lifespan, so adding it has no lasting effect of the type that would come from genetic change.

^Are you seriously making this argument? It seems you either have not read the linked story, or you don't understand that the CNIL issues guidelines that are the "law";

The decision to overrule an earlier revision by the Counseil D'etat alludes to the guidelines themselves as a measure of "Soft law".

Regardless, making an argument on the semantics of a word instead of the glaring arrogance on display where Government agencies or lawmakers can retroactively change the rules to seemingly target individual companies is ridiculous.

Coinbase is ~completely down (?)

I'm now seeing all outbound DNS lookups from my Heroku instances failing.

What is going on?
It seems like there are two main points here.

1. fMRI only measure brain activity indirectly.
2. Nothing stops people from messing with any one parameter, setting, statistical knob out of houndreds.

I don't know if #1 is a problem itself. We measure many things indirectly. As long as the limitations are known and respected, it is still useful.

#2 Is the real issue. What we need is a movement towards saving and publishing the the actual data as close to the hardware as possible. But I'm sure medical hardware is full of quirky, proprietary Windows CE junk that makes this almost impossible.

I don't know what the solution is. If the healthcare industry wanted better software they would have to pay even more than they already do. Cheaper and better software doesn't happen because those companies and developers would rather work elsewhere. Real disruptors will have a hard time convincing the 100 vendors they need to integrate with to change their ways.

It seems that large industries will always be 10-15 years behind 'what they should be'.
Why has he not been booted from Twitter for spreading misinformation?
Whatever you use, so long as the format is text-based Git is useful for tracking revisions. I guess that part is obvious, but in case it slipped your mind. IIRC, I used Git to version various PDFs, too, including syllabi and handouts, but only for a fraction of the various articles and opinions I had read through. I still have my Git repo 10+ years later. Every once in awhile I go back to look at something.

I mostly used Scrivener (I think) for note taking, but that was probably a bad idea. I never learned to make good use of it. It versioned well, though.

I did use learning LaTeX as a distraction/excuse in law school, and ended up using it for a few briefs and presentations (beamer). Unfortunately, my legal writing classes mandated Word, so I didn't get to use it for the bulk of my writing.

My Evidence professor once ask me if I had plagiarized a brief, to which I answered something to the effect of, "I'm flattered, but I can show you the tortured editing history from my version control system." Per habit, I had versioned both the LaTeX source and my plaintext notes, w/ regular commits and pushes out of anxiety about my laptop combusting.

FWIW, I wrote some of my best code while avoiding studying. (I absolutely loved studying the law, but the overall stress of law school made it quite difficult to stay focused on school and avoid seeking out feelings of accomplishment in hacking code.) Good luck!

> It's worth noting that Python almost did exactly the same thing to itself, too. But it was saved because Python 3 wasn't nearly as incompatible as Perl 6, and that it actually shipped reasonably promptly. But IMHO it's no accident that the explosion of node.js happened just as Python broke the world with their incompatible upgrade.

Not totally sure that I agree here.

I wrote backend Javascript code when Node was beginning to become popular instead of Python because I needed to write a multiplexed socket server that was much better server by the JS asynchronous paradigm over Python. Socket.io was a much better experience than much larger, complex Python equivalents which performed worse, so I kept around most of my Python code and used Node for multiplexing.

At the time Python 3 wasn't even a question. There was no push to upgrade seriously, just patiently waiting for the libraries and frameworks to be ported.

To this day Node.JS and Python server fairly different purposes in most stacks, and although they can do the same job, for each domain generally one is better than the other.

It seems to me that the folks here arguing that the 737 Max is safe have a definition of "safe" that would satisfy a military test pilot. I'm sure that even without MCAS a top-notch pilot could fly the Max without incident, but when it comes to passenger aircraft safety, the bar is considerably higher.
Been using it for about five, and honestly I stopped using this in my workflows a long time ago. My workflow now is to ctrl-a+z to maximize the pane, highlight (with the mouse) and hit ctrl-insert to copy and ctrl-shift-insert to paste, then ctrl-a+z to restore the pane. It's still a bit of a pane, but it's deeply ingrained enough into my muscle memory that it's smooth.

I find myself in complete agreement, if for some reason just the internet were to go, but we still had telecoms of an analog nature, we'd be ok... there would still be a lot of lives at risk, but if governments did their jobs, we'd all make it through until service was restored/rebuilt.

I'd go further an say that even with telegraph age technology, now that we know the usefulness of computers, we would not have stumbled for 100 years at the hands of Babbage, there are too many things that even a relay based computer could do to benefit mankind.
Train+track system transport bandwidth scales with investment. In concrete terms you can put in more cars up to a point, and if tracks gets saturated you can build more parallel tracks.

Problems with pre existing rail network can be relevant when using existing old infrastructure, but if comparing to a new canal, the point of comparison should be a new rail connection.

I was thinking about this while reading the post. What's the best syntax language or syntax for configuration, if environment variables are too simplistic and full-fledged programming languages are too powerful? That's why I'm interested in Dhall, which is a configuration language that's limited to compile-time only–i.e. it can't do anything at runtime.

Yes, but it's a shame that tmux is not a good "x11 citizen". If you select some text inside tmux, you cannot middle-click on another window to copy it. Likewise, if you select some text on a non-tmux window, you can copy it everywhere, except on your tmux session. For me this means that the mouse support is severely broken, and I actually prefer to use "tmux set mouse off", by which all goodies are lost, but at least I can copy-paste like a human being.

Oh, yeah. I can't keep multiple clipboards straight. I configure everything to share the OS clipboard (except my shell... but I don't really use my shell's copy buffer since I got in the habit of using ctrl-q).

tmux will copy to your system clipboard by default if your terminal emulator supports the right escape sequences. If it doesn't, then you do need to configure it to shell out to xclip or pbcopy or whatever. It's annoying, but I find it less annoying to configure it than to try to keep multiple copy buffers straight.
Most (all?) Alacritty commands use the command key on Mac: command+c to copy, etc.

> Because both do not export any vaccine. And the EU does. So even Canada cannot get vaccines from the US

Blatantly Untrue - the US has directly exported vaccine to both Canada and Mexico and it’s companies are producing huge amounts of vaccine worldwide for over 70 countries right now. The UK has fallen short of its export commitments but that is a far cry from ‘do not export any vaccine’.

Again though this just comes back to leverage, the EU and it’s properties generally lack what is in demand: production capacity. That is why we have the short end of the stick right now, blaming everyone but ourselves only fans flames unnecessarily.
But if the rail is a shipping channel replacement, no need to limit to one track. Or if we are comparing to a busy port like eg Rotterdam, that also corresponds to a nexus of many shipping routes which would be equivalent to several tracks.
