In a comment the author says:

> Yes, but the fun part is that out of 100 of these people, one will end up a billionaire, and another will end up setting the cultural agenda for the next decade

The billionaire bit I get. Plenty of billionaires have come out of the Bay Area and will continue to come out of there. But what does he mean by “setting the cultural agenda”? Who from the Bay Area can claim to have done this, and if nobody yet, why does the author think it will start happening?
Single Cell RNA Seq data is often stored in Loom which is a HDF5 format.

https://linnarssonlab.org/loompy/

Its a little weird at first but its a great format and has libraries in a lot of major languages. It stores a sparse matrix which cuts the size down a lot.

https://linnarssonlab.org/loompy/format/index.html
No, I understand how Loom limits the amount of stuff on the stack. Its just I thought threads always had those large stacks.

Based on what the top person said, I'm thinking that they don't get a large stacks until they cross some threshold of use, but I want to make sure.

> "Starship can land 100 tons on the lunar surface," said Aarti Matthews, Starship Human Landing System program manager for SpaceX. "And it’s really hard to think about what that means in a tangible way. One hundred tons is four fire trucks. It’s 100 Moon rovers. My favorite way to explain this to my kids is that it's the weight of more than 11 elephants."

Now all I can think about is sending elephants to the moon.
I would much rather they served the same content with 'responsive' designs, than do browser-sniffing and serve me a mobile page.

More often than not, I immediately go and switch out of Mobile site for pretty much everything I visit on mobile.

Features are missing, functionality is broken or gone, they force text/page sizes that don't work for me and block zooming (Firefox thankfully allows me to override that b.s now), and they serve "Install our App!" overlays.

Doordash I found is like this - some stores use them for white-labelled Delivery and SMS/Email you a link to the tracking page for your order.

I click the link on my desktop, I get a standard page, it shows a tracking map.

I click the link on my phone, I get a mobile version of the page which does have a tracking map, but the entire screen is covered with an overlay that says "Install our App!" with no dismiss option and you have to try to make out the driver's location through the 80% opaque overlay.

The word "belief" gets mangled intentionally in the case above. "Belief" as in "understand" versus "hold to be true regardless or questioning" are very different things.

I'm humble enough to know that I don't know everything and can be wrong. And if I'm wrong I'm willing to learn anew.

For example, I was raised on the concept that dietary fat was bad (margarine was healthier than butter) and we now know this is not the case.

I'm not a trained immunologist like you, so I can only work with the basic knowledge that the immune system "learns" the chemical fingerprint of attackers and that vaccines mimic that to train the immune system. If I'm wrong I'd love to learn what is correct.

Can you say the same for yourself? Is the arrogance you sense coming from you?
The proposal is TSV but using ^_ instead of ^I (tab) to separate columns and ^^ instead of ^M (CR) or ^J (LF) to separate rows. So instead of being unable to put ^I and ^J in your table cells you are now unable to put ^_ and ^^ in your table cells.

That sounds exactly as good, or bad, as TSV. So, okay? Sure, do that if you like, that sounds fine.

I live in Berlin, which contains many trees and parks. One of the nicest quarters of Berlin is Gartenstadt (garden city) Frohnau, which feels like houses in the forest - at decent density. So it doesn't have to be either city or nature. But I'm afraid that current cost structures and short-term thinking make another Gartenstadt very unlikely.

Well. It may be that this kind of place only really works as a suburb. It does have a small center (shops, cafes, doctors, church etc) that people can walk to, which in turn has public transport to the actual city.
What I mean is that one example doesn't contradict the fact that the CDC had limited direct power during the pandemic, and that various other federal agencies and, even more so, state and local governments were the ones implementing and enforcing most of the restrictions we experienced during the pandemic. I may have exaggerated how minimal the role of the CDC was in my initial comment, but only because I keep seeing this narrative that the CDC was somehow controlling the country. That is spectacularly far from the reality.
You're right, because there's never been a leak of personal data from any researcher or government department.

I did a project where I worked my way through the Dewey Decimal System, reading one book from each decade along the way. Other than the arbitrary choices of the first and last book on the shelves as I read through the DDC and one stretch of ten DDC classifications where there were only two choices of book to read, I did let myself choose from the books rather than making it purely random, but it was a great way to experience a wide variety of different topics over the course of seven(!) years.¹ https://www.dahosek.com/category/dewey-decimal-project/

From where I sit, the pro-gay-marriage people also think they are fighting a "holy" war, or something equivalent to one. They (at least some of them) certainly act as "destroy them utterly" as the conservatives.

In fact, I would guess that at least part of the conservative rage on this issue comes not from gay marriage being legalized, but from liberals who attempt to stamp out and punish any remaining counter-opinion.

Yeah, my experience is that people frequently overestimate the cost of building something for your needs and underestimate the integration cost of buying something.

Also, the trend of hiring <framework> developers is a plague: if you know JavaScript and the DOM well, learning the basics of react is a couple afternoons of work and you can figure out the pitfalls via code review and learning on the job.
That sounds like an absolute logistical nightmare. Instead of trying to match voltage and capacitance and dielectric (ESR & tempco), why not match by purpose? And furthermore, it's the designer's job to try to use as few variants of components as possible. In general, 1 uF 25 V X5R in 0402 will work wonders for general decoupling (don't use many different values in parallel) and there's only so many other uses of capacitors to fulfill. If you need a particular 3 pF capacitor for RF matching or 12 pF capacitor for resonator loading, anything else likely won't be a good fit.

> Unless you buy into conspiracies, the CDC is at worst going to do what it thinks is best for you, and is constrained by constitutional checks and balances.

Technically, someone buying into conspiracies would at most have a correlation to CDC activities, it couldn't exert a causal force.

Also, you don't actually know what the CDC is going to do, or how well it is constrained by constitutional checks and balances - you can speculate and form a belief, but you do not have actual knowledge.

I have a tangential story on how providing a phone number isn’t going to help either.

I have an important Gmail account where I recently had to change the password (because the only password set several years ago didn’t work). Since it was important, I didn’t want to risk the account becoming inaccessible and hence provided my phone number as the recovery number. After changing the password through a browser, the iOS Mail app complained that the password for this account is invalid and that I should enter it. So I go there and flow through the Google login pages (since this is setup as a Google account), and then it repeatedly tells me that it’s incorrect and that I should recover my account. Visiting the recover account page tells me that it cannot help me at this moment!

I’m furious at how stupid Gmail (and the people in Google writing this application) can be. I haven’t accessed that account over the last few days and am hoping I can get back in after the Google bots have cooled down. I have no idea what I can do if that account becomes permanently inaccessible because some “machine learning” algorithm messed things up. :(

I’ve decided to close my Gmail accounts (these were old ones) if I can manage to download the data from those.

As a person who scanslated (and was active in adjacent TL scenes) in another life (and thus has some bias), I disagree. Yes some groups out there are pretty shoddy and they make cute examples. This was more common in the 90s when anime/manga in the West was new and expectations for translations were low. These days Chinese language translations leak before Japanese language raws (due to weak IP laws in China) and in order to be first, most speed-scanslating groups are scanslated from Chinese translations into English.

If you wait for a quality scanslation, it'll often be as good or better than the original.

> Why would they need to read your env when they can open a backdoor?

It's a good question.

But consider, containers are (in modern infra) transient and usually sit in a constrained security context where access to other resources is pretty limited. Meanwhile the login credentials and security tokens are often long-lived and (usually) give broad access to a wide security context.

If you give me a back door to a container, the first thing I would be trying to do is use it to level up my credentials before the container dies. One of the first things I would try is dumping the environment!

But if the secrets were learned via an ephemeral file or through a temporary network connection, and even better if they were exchanged for time limited or single use type tokens, I am really left with both a challenging task to dig them out and / or something of limited value anyway.

Crypto Scams? Remittances and Offramps
Hey guys,

Genuine question here. How does remittance through crypto work? Presumably, you'd need an offramp in the destination country.

Here is the problem though:

if you're constantly exchanging crypto for local fiat in that destination country, at some point you'd run out of local fiat and you'd have a bunch of crypto on your hands, so you'd need to trade it back.

How do crypto remittance companies handle this problem legally?

1) work with illegal/unlicensed crypto brokers?

2) work with big exchanges like binance? but then you'd have to wait for the fiat to arrive via arrive, at which point why not just use wire instead of crypto all together?

3) work with local crypto exchange that's licensed and has a bank in your country? this seem legit, but only works in countris where this exchange exists AND if they want to work with you.

This is a genuine question. If you know anything about how any crypto remittancce companies actually work undeer the hood, would love to know?
> Just not doing it?

An interesting proposal.
Your work isnt cloud but it sounds equally industrial, equally as much as a rebuff of personal computing. Your eork os reserved for & explorable only by a very very very few.

many many people on this site have great & wonderful experineces with computing, are.greatly empowered & do good things. but rarely will our efforts have a tangible output on computing itself, affect the way anyone else computes. the general iniative of computing has somewhat rather stalled, become overexploited for narrow & controlled ends.

The suburbs don't actually present a solution to this. There is no more nature in them than there is in any other urban environment. It's all manicured lawns and endless pavement, and you can't even walk to a park, because getting anywhere requires hopping into a car.

If you want to see nature, you have to live way out in the boonies, on at a minimum, two-acre lots. If everyone lived like that, we'd all have two-hour commutes on twenty-lane highways.
Corona got me into a habit of taking long walks pretty much out of boredom. I now really enjoy doing that and build it into my schedule. I put some podcast on usually and just walk for 1-2 hours; sometimes longer. I also often walk distances I used to use a bike or public transport for. Anything up to 5km is basically walking distance for me. I'll walk it unless I'm in some kind of hurry. Fitting exercise into my schedule is usually tricky so cheating by turning part of a commute or a lunch break into a hike is a great life hack. And if I work from home, I do a fake commute by taking a little walk at the end of the day.

In general, any kind of exercise or mindless activity (cooking, doing stuff with your hands, etc.) is great for resetting your brain. Also if you stop looking at cleaning as chore and start seeing it as an indoor fitness activity, you can basically multi task a bit: reset brain, listen to podcast, get some exercise and my place ends up getting some attention.
Buy them at farmers markets not the store.
Same for the Netherlands. Urban cities integrated with nature. Large parks that can be easily biked to. It’s a great balance. It’s harder to have the best of both worlds in the United States though.
This could turn out to be a great play by AMD and may really drive them being competitive in the enterprise AI/ML space. I'd like to believe it will be a refreshing change to have competition which will speed innovation and bring the prices down but after seeing what happened with GPUs during our current supply crunch and how Intel has responded with pricing on its CPUs since the release of Ryzen 1st gen, I'm skeptical that they're really going to cut prices.
To give a different perspective, I enjoyed the parks much more living in London than I do now, living in a sprawling suburb in the Dallas metroplex. In London I could walk to the park in 5 minutes. Here I'm lucky that it's only about a 7 minute walk, but the walk to and from is much less pleasant, having to cut through alleys and paths that were clearly an afterthought, while the park itself feels much more urban/artificial than the ones in London did.

(To be fair, London has great parks)

Density can coexist with ample green space. Remember that you don't need anything like Manhattan density to make things walkable. In my book, suburbs are only a problem to the degree that their design forces driving on residents. My vision for a perfect city has plenty of parks.
That sure doesn't feel right.
