Curious to hear how a "protein structure expert" would prefer to pose the proteins?

I did sell some of these drawings. Two customers stand out in my memory. One wanted drawings as a gift to his father who had spent most of his career working with some specific protein. The other was someone who had a genetic defect in the family and wanted a drawing of the protein responsible for it.

Sextants have a bit of magnification (usually 4x, but sometimes 7x or higher). Higher mag allows for better accuracy at the cost of more shaking of the view.

Cracking them open to have a look may not be a good idea.
but leaving them alone for another few decades might not be wise either.

Funny fact: A lot of the nuclear weapons that have been destroyed, have
removed them from bombs or rockets.
But in many case the warheads were moved into storage.

Many years ago a friend was looking at a new recipe to cook, and she asked me, "Can you taste a recipe?"

My first thought was "Huh? What?" My second thought was "Yes, I can taste a recipe." So I read it, imagined cooking it, and tasted it in my mind.

It tasted good, and of course I had a couple of minor suggestions. Maybe one was more garlic, but I always want more garlic.

She agreed with my ideas and had a couple of improvements of her own. When she made the dish, it was very very good, and tasted even better in real life than the original recipe tasted in our minds.

What I am saying is that going to the office is not up to you nor myself. If a company decides that it is better for the company, then that company may reason that they should mandate in office work, as I mentioned in the first sentence of the previous comment. I've known people, as has almost everyone, that has had this happen at their companies. If a company crosses a threshold of workers doing office work, but still has remote workers, then the company may decide that they want to facilitate full office work for everyone, and may implement measures to incentivize office work, or else punish those who remain remote. This will be simply a business decision, as despite all the talk of it, businesses are not family, and do not care about anyone's feelings.

Many people would counter the suggestion of back to office mandates with the idea that it will work if the people who want to come in can come in and the people who do not want to can stay remote. My previous comment was a response to this idea from a business's perspective, that in office work may not be possible for individuals, unless the rest of their team is also in the building. As I mentioned, it is up to the companies to decide what is best for the business. If they decide return to office is best for business then it will be return to office mandates, otherwise they may allow remote work indefinitely.

This other argument of the only point of people pushing office work due to being a proxy for "social life" as you put it is one of the most common things I hear get thrown around. Again, I'm not sure why you decided to attribute this to me, as I'm not in charge of the mandates and never implied I'm in office. I was just offering up the reasoning on the other side. However, from my perspective, I don't think that upper leadership in any company which is considering a return to office mandate, is going to find this criticism convincing in the least.

The US is replacing its nukes: the new nukes have all new parts except the fissile material. Russia is ahead of the US here and has finished replacing its Soviet-era nukes in this way up to the limit of what they are allowed to deploy under the START treaties. (I.e., they might have some Soviet-era nukes, but if so, they need to stay in storage for Russia to stay in compliance with its treaty obligations.)

US and Russia no longer explode nukes to make sure they still work, which is where simulations using supercomputers come in.

I'm actually partial to the ASUS before they even took over the NUC line from Intel.

However it looks like there are off-brands having comparable specs for about half the price of the new NUCs.

A second-hand ASUS may be the best deal.

There are also "thin clients" from places like Dell or HP that are small, low power, and fanless. These can be really cheap when removed from office buildings in quantity. If you can get by with as little as 4GB of memory and 16 or 32GB of on-board drive space, surplus units like this are cheap because they don't really do much office work on their own or run Windows 11 by design.

Drivers can be a problem, even in Windows. I had some Minix Windows 8 minis from our IT guys that I repurposed for scientific use. A single advanced Windows 10 app ran OK and did not overstress the little things, but at the beginning Windows Update did not recognize many of the uncommon mini hardware items. The only way to get all the hardware working was to point Windows 10 to the driver repositories in the original mounted Windows 8 recovery image.

They did what I set out to do, but when I tried to set one up as a mobile hotspot, that particular feature was not supported by the hardware.

You don't have to update, it's just that developers seem to like to run the latest stuff, and many appear to build production binaries on their laptops (rather than in a controlled build environment, where dependencies are tightly managed, and you could deliberately stick to an older distribution easily enough).

The dependency errors indicate real issues because of the way most distributions handle backwards compatibility: you have to build on the oldest version you want to support. Those errors happen if this rule is violated. For glibc-based systems, the effect is amplified because package managers have become quite good at modeling glibc run-time requirements in the package-level dependencies, and mismatches result in install-time dependency errors. Admittedly, I'm biased, but I strongly suspect that if we magically waved away the glibc dependency issues, most applications still wouldn't work because they depend on other distribution components, something that's just not visible today.
This seems to conflate two entirely different ways of "using existing code". Using tools written by others is technically "using existing code", but that's an entirely different thing than incorporating existing code into your projects.

I think that when most devs hear "using existing code", they're thinking of the latter, not the former.

I use a Kindle Scribe almost every day, have read dozens and dozens of books and documents on it. Maybe we have different expectations but I love mine and take it everywhere. It's never crashed.

Is that a problem that needs solving? Most interfaces for entering a user-generated PIN, like an ATM, are heavily monitored and rate limited. It's not like backend databases are routinely encrypted with these.

As others have said, increasing the length would do little to increase security in most cases since the usual response will be to repeat digits. Plus the current system seems to be working pretty well empirically.

This reminds of the password rotation policies that some companies insist on using, despite the evidence that they are a waste of time. In practice they are an "Increment the last digit of your password" policy.
The ability to take a library with me is great, obviously. I also primarily read on kindle.

The complaints I have are all qualities within their control that seem to be lagging due to neglect (responsiveness, UI, stability, degrading performance over time, keyboard, search)

Now ignore the library aspect and compare reading a single book to reading a single e-book and the gaps will be more visible.

> The “tools for thought” trend was in full swing, and being described as note-taking or sketching app was in our review mirror.

I'd love to hear the author dig more into this. I've never heard of Muse but the "tools for thought" seems to play into the zero interest rate phenomenon they describe.

Specifically, I don't really need a tool for thought, my brain works perfectly well. Maybe it's a cool toy but what's the problem it's solving? The reviewers seem to hint that maybe Muse was particularly good at note taking and sketching. Those seem like more concrete problems, I'm surprised the team shied away from them. Were they not sexy enough?

Collaborative sketching, even! Maybe for architect design iterations? Not sure, but the author does seem to recognize this problem in a different lens.
