I don't get the fad with circos plots. At least in genomics, they offer a high density of information but unfortunately at the price of hard if not impossible interpretation. Like the systems biology papers of old, showing beautiful dense graphs, but with little room for biological interpretation.
In addition, circos is quite... peculiar as an application, in particular its quirky configuration file format, which is half ini like and half XML or HTML like. Last I looked at it, about a decade ago, there weren't any APIs to create plots programmatically.
Very cool, I've done similar in the past. One point of contention is that I like YAML more than JSON for this kind of effort as multi-line text is much easier to deal with. I'd also generate typescript definitions based on the YAML/JSON for the default built values that has tended to help with the dev side (at least for JS/web projects).
Equity, sometimes understood as total equality is a totalitarian nightmare. Not saying I don't favor a society where the bar for participation is lowered for all members of society. It should usually be a discussion in society itself, nobody can force any solidarity anyway.

For me these secondary discussions around fairness only showed me political parties as well as companies that probably should not be trusted. I do forgive populism in political campaigns, but the opportunism I saw here hints to something quite ugly.

In software I am thinking of a few companies here, mostly larger ones. They are very vocal about gender or racism issues and I believe it simply is a 100% hit rate to detect a very authoritarian leadership style. Most devs probably go there for the money, but it describes the opposite to a relaxed working environment and instead subjects to to some artificial and dogmatic way of thinking. Less of that please.

And you never will seem tolerant of minority opinions if you cannot even restrain yourself from trying to police language. The equation will never resolve itself sensibly.
We have a fantastic Common Lisp package ecosystem with Quicklisp and we use other people's libraries all the time. Most of us are savvy enough to share our 80% solutions so that others can add their 20%. I wish more people would realize that the Common Lisp we program in today is not your Grandma's Common Lisp. Lisp usage and culture change over time just like in every other language ecosystem. I never see my Lisp reflected in these tired tropes.
Understood, that's true, to do any serious study people had to apply to and enter a formal program, day, evening, or remote. The other option was private tutoring.

> It also doesn't really matter if a statement is provable in theory or not. Whether or not it's possible to prove that P?=NP, it is either true or it's false and it has always been either true or false, and one of those two programs is correct.

This is a pretty philosophically extremist statement (relying on a hardcore version of Platonism) and with my handle I can’t just let it stand unchallenged. :)

I’m actually somewhat more sympathetic to excluded middle for P?=NP than for some other statements, so let’s start elsewhere. I don’t think it’s at all obvious that the continuum hypothesis is, and always has been, either true or false. We know it’s independent of ZFC, of course, and there are sensible “extra” axioms that would resolve it in opposite directions (e.g. V=L vs. MM). In order to believe that there’s a fact of the matter you need to posit a very well-populated Platonic realm, despite not needing that kind of philosophical commitment to do mathematics.

Well, maybe P?=NP is just simpler than CH. It probably is! But you can imagine a case where it isn’t; e.g. if there exists an algorithm for 3-SAT (call it Algorithm A) which can be proved to be asymptotically optimal, and which runs in O(n^10^100) time if !CH, and exponential time if CH. Then the P?=NP question would be equivalent to CH, and you should have the same beliefs about its truth value. If you’re like me, that means you’re skeptical that it has a well-defined truth value “for all time” at all.
This is literally what the rolling codes prevent.
It's not a clear and cut case with IPs. As you say, if your servers logs IPs that seems to be classified as "legitimate interest" (for security reasons). But if you use that data to track unique users for product dev, marketing etc. reasons, that's not "legitimiate" interest anymore. At least, this is my understanding.

For example, it would make stopping a DDoS attack much harder if you would need to anonymize IPs.

> If users have to read a method’s code before they can use it, that’s not an abstraction! Good abstractions must be documented outside the actual code, or they do not abstract anything at all.

That’s not true at all. Good abstractions are methods or classes you can forget the details of and still use effectively. It doesn’t mean you shouldn’t understand them at some point.

> Meanwhile essentially every version of macOS is free

If that was true I could download a macOS version to run in my VM. Rather macOS is unavailable, the only way to get a valid license is to buy a machine running MacOS. Which isn't that different from buying a Windows PC.

The only reason no money changes hands from OEM to Apple is that Apple makes both the OS and the hardware, and they don't have a reason to pay money to themselves.

Windows upgrades used to be a big thing, but have been effectively free for the last 8 years.

This is understated and important.

The removal of the statue of limitations means that any new company that's formed can challenge any regulations that they are subject to, no matter when the regulation was formed.

Combined with Chevron's reversal and the increased power of the judiciary, well, I think it's going to paradoxically destroy the court system. Imagine the delays when thousands of companies sue to challenge millions of regulations.
A lot of this depends on:

- Whether people move with the work

- Telework infrastructure
That's an insane level of sound to be subjected to constantly. One would think there would be some zoning regulation in place to combat this.
You should revisit your knowledge of how things are done in Germany and see the clear cuts popping up everywhere, even in Taunus mountains next to some of the richest parts of the country.
Isn't this what happened the last several times? The far right does well in the first round because there's only one far right party. But they don't do especially well in the second round because they're nobody's second choice.

It does sound like there are some additional factors in play this time, but it sounds mostly like people staying home in the first stage and turning out for the second. That's not entirely unlike the US, where people seem to have little interest in the primaries, or off-year elections, but show up more for the general.
This is why I've always disliked Debian and Red Hat.

1. I hate the fact they have the hubris to think they can be smarter than the upstream developers and patch old versions

2. I hate the fact they don't ship vanilla packages, but instead insist on patching things for features that nobody relies on anyway, __because they're not upstream__.

Maintainers should stick to downloading tarballs, building them and updating them promptly when a new version is out. If there's no LTS available, pay upstream and get an LTS, don't take a random version and patch it forever just to keep the same version numbers, it's nonsensical and it was only a matter of time before people tried to exploit it. Just look at the XZ backdoor for instance, which relied on RedHat and Debian deploying a patched libsystemd.
Thank you very much for this! They look great.
Can someone explain why in the world Evolve has my data? (I use Mercury and Wise for my company). I tried going to their website and I'm still completely clueless.

Edit: Apparently Mercury was using Evolve as their banking partner. I know this is super common w/ online neobanks, but I'm really confused as to why they always choose the most random obscure bank. Why not partner with a major bank, or Column?

How can one create a whole WSJ article on the simple fact that "Doublce-Click" is corporate slang? I don't know - because I can't read the article. And if I could, I would do it only of pure curiosity what the author manages to fill in the remaining 99% of the article with.

So would using these cell modifications, in the case of growing organs perhaps, require germline modifications?

What I'm thinking about would technically be language independent, just a wrapper that is interposed between Rye and the Python interpreter to apply something like a seccomp filter to the Python interpreter (and all code that it calls). The wrapper could equally well be used on a piece of C code or whatever. But I'm sure you have a far better understanding than me of whether something like that is feasible :)
In my experience, I find that constructive mathematics better aligns with peoples intuitions here rather than classical computer science.

For example, we don't (yet) have a proof that there exists (constructively) a program that that prints out the answer to the P=NP problem.

I had some commentary in my thesis about this issue with regards to computable Julia sets. Mark Braverman proved that every (quadratic) Julia set is computable. But, as he notes, his proof isn't uniformly computable. Instead he develops 5 machines that attempt to draw various sets (at whatever desired resolution) given the parameter for the Julia set desired. For each Julia set, one of these 5 machines will correctly draw the set.

When doing constructive mathematics, the constructive notion of a compact set roughly corresponds to being a computable set in the sense we need for computable Julia sets. We cannot constructively prove that every (quadratic) Julia set is compact. Instead we have to divide the complex plane of possible parameters of the Julia set into multiple regions, and within each of those regions we can prove all of the corresponding Julia sets are compact.

In classical mathematics the union of all these regions is the entire complex plane, but this result doesn't hold constructively. Analogously, in classical mathematics the union of the positive reals, and the non-positive reals is the whole real line; however, again, this result doesn't hold constructively.

The constructive mathematics approach clearly states exactly what additional information is need to actually realize the computation of a (quadratic) Julia set: that is you must state in which of these regions of the complex plane you given parameter belongs to, which in turn tells you which of these 5 machines you need to run to get actually get the image you want. This is a much more satisfying answer.
You're right that they don't talk about cognitive functions. That's only when looking at these personality traits as a categorization of the outputs, which would feel like arbitrary curve fitting.

To be more nuanced, the underlying basis for MBTI on cognitive functions is about describing the input processing of various personality types, which isn't obvious (and completely obfuscated) if one is reading descriptions on a site like 16personalities.com.

It's a subtle but nuanced difference, but provides an avenue for therapists to understand how inputs in a client's life may affect them and their responses to situations. This is a more valid dive into the input-processing aspects of MBTI: https://www.typeinmind.com/type-theory

If you read the type descriptions on the typeinmind.com website, you'll see that the approach is very different. It may seem arbitrary and foo foo, but I'd challenge you to look deeper before completely writing it off as bologna.

Because? I subscribe to WSJ - so I can read this just fine. I don’t see why you can’t as well if you find the content interesting. It’s the same with academic journals, people are just sharing what’s interesting and that just so happens to be behind a paywall.

If you remove all paid content you would just have blogs left eventually… And all they’re doing is just paying for the content and regurgitating it.

Great to see work like this being done. Javascript is often a "good enough" language, but an efficient Smalltalk (or Self) language with support for things like system images, become:, coroutines, and other advanced features would open up a lot of advanced programming techniques like fast portable images, transparent futures, cooperative concurrency without async/await on every call, etc.

There are many legitimate and legal use cases where one might want to circumvent blocking of bots. We believe that everyone has the moral right to access and fairly use non-personal publicly available data on the web the way they want, not just the way the publishers want them to. This is the core founding principle of the open web, which allowed the web to become what it is today.

Yeah, if you're talking to CS folks who have encountered that definition as part of a theory class, then sure, good chances they could be scolded for asking the wrong questions using that word.

But that's a small bit of CS undergrads, and a very small part of the internet / wider world, who have a more colloquial definition of it. Not sure it's entirely worth scolding them, is all I'm saying.
Irrefutably. The problem is people prefer to eat the cow. And while it's nice to imagine a different world, "everyone should just want different things" is not really a valid policy prescription to solve specific land- and water-use questions.

This is really smart. By making it impossible for the cells to generate Thymidine, they can not create more DNA which is needed to produce the genome of two (possibly malignant) daughter cells. Why Thymidine? Because there is a key difference between DNA and RNA: DNA has Thymine while RNA has Uracil. Both DNA and RNA share the other 3 bases: Adenine, Cytosine and Guanine. The cell only needs additional DNA if it goes into cell division, but it needs RNA all the time for many cellular processes. Singling out Thymidine is a really cool idea!

Not affected: Fedora 38 (also EOL), 39 (maintained) and 40 (current).
You are just impossible to talk to. Why are you still posting random gotchas at me?
Isn't saying BB(6) is computable the same as assuming that it is an integer?

I thought this was not necessarily true.

For example, one beaver might halt after some integer number of steps. This would be the potentially very large integer the author is referring to.
Another might go into an infinite loop, and clearly never halt.

My understanding of the where incomputability entered the discussion is the third possibility, that a beaver might have complex behavior that neither ever halts or ever loops.

The author touches on answering this, drawing the distinction that a specific answer might not be provable. But I'm not sure I understand.

How would the answer for a specific integer be computable if it's impossible to determine what the value for the function of is for that integer?
I have thought about this for years, ever since ISPs in my country started advertising "unlimited whatsapp" on otherwise data limited plans. It would only work for text and not images or video, but it would have been good enough for general web browsing.

A model where you can tip for an article (value4value style or otherwise) is what works best in the long run, I think .

> When a publisher implements a paywall, it can expect traffic to drop. But when it removes a paywall, its traffic could take years to rebound, as it takes time for consumers to realize that the publisher has made its content available.

I can’t overstate how frustrating it is to open a link, say on HN, and be unable to ready the article because the news outlet any letting me. This creates frustration. It will take years to win back these readers.
While I agree that free markets aren't always the answer, I also don't think government intervention is either. We don't have to have a civilian aviation industry, we definitely don't have to have it at the scale it exists today. If the business isn't viable then so be it. We can fly less, pay more for it, or accept planes with fewer features and creature comforts.

Companies will expand, and spend, to fill whatever space they are given. If a government poor's money into the industry they will find ways to spend it. A company is ultimately trying to maximize the capital it has, sitting on profits and paying the taxes that go along with it don't do the trick.

Markets are much too complex to say what they would look like after removing subsidies, but with something like air travel it absolutely isn't a necessity that must be protected. Travel is great and all, but it isn't as fundamental as food, water, or shelter.
In Europe there is no reason to pay $199. You can buy a second hand Windows 11 Pro license for $10. Office Pro for $25.

I think… in settings? Once below Apple ID, if you’re not signed in, and once by iCloud. There also are AppleID and iCloud direct integrations, which can be thought of as advertisements. And if you are using iCloud and there’s not enough space, you’ll see a banner on every app that uses iCloud (except Finder) that hey, there’s not enough space.

I think this is an advertisement, but it’s for a service people might actually want, that doesn’t necessarily cost money, and only asks for money when needed for functionality. It’s also a first-party ad.
