Our hands were not designed, and they have no “intended purpose”. We have hands because throughout the extremely long line of evolutionary adaptations the individuals that had them ended up surviving and procreating, and so we ended up having them.

It’s more about NRP1 than ACE2. NRP1 is how they think it infects the neuron. I changed the subject to summarize/translate what the study was saying.

The role of NRP1 in human sars2 infection is already well know. This study is just showing the infection in the neuron can/may/does precede it’s appearance in the serum.

Also, ACE2 is most certainly expressed in the neurons and his greatly expressed in the hippocampus.

I'm really fascinated about why so many infrastructure-as-code tools are actually infrastructure-as-markup. Many of them seem to "evolve" until they're awkward attempts at bolting full programming language semantics onto that markup language. I imagine it started out as wanting to keep a simple configuration-style format for infrastructure but fell apart when people's stacks grew large and complex.

Projects like Pulumi and CDK seem to be much better approaches, but don't seem to have much traction compared to TF, Cloudformation, etc.
The coal formations we exploit today were formed during 60 million years period in between the evolution of wood and bark, and the evolution of fungi and bacteria that could break them down.

I wonder if wood had other noxious effects on biology back then as our plastics do today. Perhaps not.

I'm not sure the forced collectivization failed in the metrics that mattered to Stalin. The collectivization did really massively increase agricultural productivity enabling huge numbers of workers to be moved into factory work in the cities. Many people, including in the West, were in awe of the supposed communist productivity miracle.

Now, in retrospect we can say it was just the process of industrialization played out in a super-compressed timeline, and not due to the inherent economic superiority of communism. But it wasn't clear at the time, it was really an open question whether communism was a economically superior system. Which made the capitalist class really afraid, and caused various forms of communist repression in the West like McCarthyism.

As an aside, it wasn't like industrialization as a process was all roses in the West either. Enclosure of the commons drove masses of subsistence farmers into brutal factory work in the cities.
You have it backwards, stuff like Websockets are built by design to be incompatible with existing implementations. This is because Javascript code is untrusted/untrustworthy, and we already had a plethora of attacks due to foreign JS doing nasty things with what little they had, here's a couple examples:

- SMTP/IRC spamming using Web requests (Cross-protocol scripting, 2002)

Yeah, if these people had any integrity they wouldn't lean on the legal system to solve their problems. This case highlights the core problem with NFTs, that being you cannot have digital property without some kind of enforcement in the real world. Since there is currently no known mechanism for truly trustlessly connecting the blockchain to the real world (oracles don't count, they are trusted third parties) then the rights supposedly associated with these NFTs are effectively unenforceable. IMO Seth Green should just continue with his dumb show and if the owner of the NFTs wants to sue for copyright infringement they will be forced to reveal themselves to the legal system and open themselves up for all sorts of problems.

And not to be discounted, all those prideful references to long days and late nights: another symptom of bad planning and management.

It also puts a bunch of people who have actual life commitments (like kids, health issues, family issues or whatever else) at a disadvantage simply because somebody can afford to spend the extra time on something. And if those are the people who properly plan and execute, they get a double whammy.

The moral of the story should not be that when there is an opportunity to make a significant contribution by exchanging your life for your work you do that, but that you should be able to excel at work and be recognized for it without exchanging your life for it.

> the page has no real information about the switches at all

It looks like it's their short travel switches, which are found on the G915. I own, but do not use (on account of my newer custom keeb), a G915. The switches are a noticeable step above stock Cherrys, with significantly less scratchiness (that probably has to do with the short travel), but obviously pale in comparison to "the rest." The G915 also has really solid build quality, although I'm not sure if that translates to this model.

Despite my positive comments about the keyboard family, I strongly recommend looking into a custom keyboard because you'll find a much closer match, for what you're looking for, than what OEM keyboards will ever yield. You can get a GMMK 2, with lubed switches, for $149 [1] (then spend another $20 on cheap keycaps on Amazon). The switches are hot-swappable, so you will get many years of use from it. GMMK 2 is extremely entry-level, but will blow almost any OEM keyboard clear out of the water (including this one).

You can also get keyboard switch samplers to help you choose which switch works best for you.

I had to post the text because, it's just so good:

"And if it’s true that plastic is not degradable, well, the planet will simply incorporate plastic into a new paradigm: the earth plus plastic. The earth doesn’t share our prejudice toward plastic. Plastic came out of the earth. The earth probably sees plastic as just another one of its children. Could be the only reason the earth allowed us to be spawned from it in the first place. It wanted plastic for itself. Didn’t know how to make it. Needed us. Could be the answer to our age-old egocentric philosophical question, “Why are we here?”

Plastic… asshole.”

Most papers at least sound like they're notable!
I would argue that in most cases you "don't need to know anything about it" either. It's reasonable to deliberately treat abstractions as if they are not leaky, as long as you're aware that all abstractions in fact are leaky and you're equipped to investigate and learn about them if the leaks cause problems.
> One of the harder things with XMPP is that it is a badly-formed document up until the connection is closed. You need a SAX-style/event-based parser to handle it.

Wrong.

If you care about security, verify your goddamn invariants.

This is not a software problem. This is a lazy programmer/software engineer problem. Electrical Engineering, or hell, any matyre engineering field understands this concept.

So, do you write your code on Notepad?

It's interesting that every time Lisp syntax comes up there's a comment like this. But when someone adds "refactoring" and "intellisense" to other languages it gets applauded. Why?

You dont need special tools. But being able to manipulate the sexpressions directly gives you more power.

It's nice that plastics/microplastics will be gone but it's still very concerning in terms of their plasticizers and other impurities/contaminants making their way into the food chain, as those are potential endocrine disruptors.
Back of the envelope estimate:

4096 x 2160 x 24 x 60 is your theoretical max in bits/second, 127 billion.

Assume that to counter YouTube's compression we need 16x16 blocks of no more than 256 colors and 15 keyframes/second; that reduces it to

256 * 135 * 8 * 15 = 4.1 million bits/sec.

That's not too awful. Ten minutes of this would get you about 300MB of data, which itself might be compressed.
I only looked at the example video, but is the concept just "big enough pixels"?

Would be neater (and much more efficient) to encode the data such that it's exactly untouched by the compression algorithm, e.g. by encoding the data in wavelets and possibly motion vectors that the algorithm is known to keep[1].

Of course that would also be a lot of work, and likely fall apart once the video is re-encoded.

[1] If that's what video encoding still does, I really have no idea, but you get the point.
That's been debunked. https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.1517943113
That looks like a pretty cool language.

To me it sounds like you and the other person were saying that Pascal and Oberon weren't "large enough". I'm just pointing out that they were large enough that people can and did do serious work with them, and that, in many ways, our modern systems aren't that much better than what they achieved with those relatively simple and primitive tools. They weren't perfect, both languages grew and became more elaborate, that's true, but the original systems were solid.
Defining Your Values
That is an argument they are making to explain the putative infection of wild-type mice, yes. Maybe it is true, but it doesn't invalidate any of the things I wrote.

The headline you used doesn't mention that this is a paper in mice, so you failed to accurately summarize one of the most important parts. So important, in fact, that it's in the title of the paper.

Edit: the link you are citing does not say what you're suggesting. "Neuroepithelium" means "epithelial cells surrounding the neurons". The paper is suggesting that they found signs of ACE2 expression in this epithelial tissue.
No; it's based on C++ and Qt; I need a laptop with a decent keyboard and trackpoint to be productive.
At this point humans are behind the curve. We should take this as a sign to adapt.

>All Objects are sorted using the third signature.

Just to be pedantic int[] and long[] are both objects, but will be sorted using the first two signatures because the JVM uses different instructions for loading and storing elements from an array. Technically you could make a single function to return an array's length since it uses the same instruction.

Pan frying chicken bits or minced beef, once it is cooded I add frozen vegetable mix (I tend to use 50% meat, 50% veggies) or canned corn, beans etc. Add cream or coconut cream, and either curry or herb based spices. Just only frying pan to wash, no extra kettles!

An alternative is to coock them the same, but then transfer it into a large kettle and add water and some flour to turn it into a soup. It still tastes pretty much the same though.

I rarey coock pasta, rice or potatoes.

That’s not how whataboitism works. When you are choosing between two options, you are inherently deciding based on the pros and cons of each. You might claim false dilemma by saying that we don’t need either nuclear or fossil fuels, but it’s perfectly valid to say that if the choice is between “what exists now” and nuclear, fossil fuels kill far more people.

The very early reports from China put the case fatality rate at 15%. The pattern is for the (reported) CFR to go down very quickly.

> The trend in mortality reporting for COVID-19 has been typical for emerging infectious diseases. The case fatality rate (CFR) was reported to be 15% (six of 41 patients) in the initial period,1 but this estimate was calculated from a small cohort of hospitalised patients. Subsequently, with more data emerging, the CFR decreased to between 4·3% and 11·0%,2, 3 and later to 3·4%.4 The rate reported outside China in February was even lower (0·4%; two of 464).5

No. They aren't. Federal prosecutors don't talk to world leaders, don't make public policy, don't tell their party of hundreds of members of Congress what to do, don't apportion funding, don't go to war, negotiate peace treaties, task the CIA with unsavoury task, etc, etc, etc.

All a prosecutor can do is take out one man. And even that isn't really allowed. It has to be properly predicated, and the person has to be guilty. Supposedly.

A president has few constraints on power, mostly senate/Congress, some courts.

Whereas a prosecutor must err on the side of caution and be able to win a conviction, a President can err on the side of whatever he wants, and if something is deemed illegal by the courts, oh well, rewrite the law.
I think there is a simple, almost obvious, but very powerful concept that gets clearer when learning relational algebra: Everything is a relation.

There is an important part about using an SQL DB which is about the engineering side of things, such as access patterns, indexing, efficient storage and so on. And then there is the side that is about relational expressions.

An intuition of mine is that people who feel more comfortable with the second part, lean on SQL (and DB features in general) to do work for them, while eschewing things like ORMs.
