I only skimmed the article but it seems like the idea that Lacks was a "Scientific Hero" is something the author implies was implied by others and then goes on to argue that it isn't the case. This strikes me as disingenuous, a way of trying to rally against sympathy for her case by addressing a claim made up by the author.
In fairness if you’ve ever been bullied and corned out of view of the teachers, having someone seeing you may feel like a relief.
Yes but the problem is the underlying complexity of modern systems. Actually kudos to NixOS for hiding it very well from you.
My system is fully configured with flakes and in practice the smallest change in configuration can trigger the need for connectivity, usually to download a new dependency.

I mean if you have VMs in the cloud, who cares. If you have a laptop or a small network that require to be fully operational even if connectivity is lost, think about it twice.
Yes because the models attempt to model feedback loops like the albedo difference created by greenery, the CO2 dampening effect of photosynthesis, the water content of the air and how that's affected by trees and so on.

Bear in mind, ESMs aren't trying to predict future CO2 levels. They're trying to predict future weather based on the effects of higher CO2, and vegetation is a part of that.
It may be due to the hardware most constructors use and how they use it.

No, I'm saying "civil asset forfeiture in any way" covers a hell of a lot of ground, which gives whoever gets that discretion a hell of a lot of power.

It is essentially a set of voice models building on https://huggingface.co/spaces/styletts2/styletts2

It sounds like he is just describing being bullied in school and teachers not being great about it. Far from universal but also far from uncommon, in the UK or any country I have heard of. Bullying is a very common and documented problem in schools.

All through university and for several years afterwards I had an Online Vision Classic, which served me very well. Unfortunately I lost the first one at some point, and its replacement had various issues. So a couple of months ago I decided to go for a really good pen, and got an Otto Huth design 04. It looks great, lies comfortably in the hand and has an excellent nib.

> The community give these projects their consideration and valuable time, in exchange for the freedoms they get. Projects can obviously choose not do this.

No, the community does it to get to use the software for free. That's enough. The right to make a competing company that just uses the software is not in the minds of most community members.

I'm convinced the other people who care about this freedom don't contribute to anything.
It's the explanation, but it still makes no sense to me. "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures..."

That's true, but there is a large financial cost to always being ready for war. The US has spent 80 years being the "policeman of the world" for good or bad. Lots of bad decisions but the world also takes for granted the open seas, etc. that come at a great cost to Americans in reduced social services like health insurance and higher education.
Well, "Is {sentence_a} similar to {sentence_b}?" is the correct query when we care about some vague similarity of statements. In this case, we should go with something in the line "Is {answer} a plausible answer to the question {question}".

In any way, I see how the example "Is {sentence_a} similar to {sentence_b}?" breaks the flow.
The original example was:

{question}

# A

{sentence_A}

# B

{sentence_B}

As I now see, I overzealously simplified that. Thank you for your remark! I edited the article. Let me know if it is clearer for you now.

Thanks for the interesting discussion. I think as parents we have many possibilities to teach values to our kids without homeschooling them. In my view they should learn how to integrate in average society no matter if it is a perfect public schooling system or not. When it comes to values, parents still have a lot space to guide them through live without having full control. As long as the public school system only bends and doesn't break them I think it is a good way to show them how average society works. If they decide not to be high-end tech people later on, it will be much easier for them to flow with the average masses.

Show HN: Built a free cap table tool to save founder form spreadsheets
Quick story time: Despite my finance degree and years in banking consulting, when I moved to VC I struggled a lot with cap table calculations.

I could analyze business models all day, but equity dilution? Pure nightmare fuel.

Then actually I've discovered that MANY founders struggle with that.That's why when I left VC to double down on Indie Hacking I decided to build EquityCap:

What it does:
- Visualizes equity dilution without the complex math
- Projects future cap table scenarios
- Makes equity planning actually understandable

Why I'm sharing:
1. It's completely free (forever)
2. No signup required to get started
3. Just a tool I built to solve my own pain point that can help others

If you're great at growing businesses but get a headache from equity calculations, hope this can help.

I'm launching on Product Hunt today so I'd love to hear your feedback also there

Speculation. Brexit (one of the greatest self-owns in political history, though the US is trying to top it) and the UK continue to tighten general travel/immigration rules. London used to be a great spot to have a companies EU presence. Brexit has only amplified London as primarily a bank for world criminals. Companies eventually wonder what's the point of being in the UK when they still need EU presence anyway.
Nonsense, Americans pay the most for health insurance. It's merely about how you use the money. Same with education. The American economy is so great it could afford an entire second military industrial complex and still have enough money left for healthcare and education.
Corruption is a large part of what funds our criminal justice system, and politicians will never do anything to make them appear like they are against law enforcement or "soft on crime".
Yep. Good chance it's clogged up with earwax or something. I have similar issues with mine (a high-pitched whine on when in any of the ANC modes on my current AirPods Pro 2's right AirPod, and a lower-pitched rumbling in my old AirPods Pro 1's as well).

I had an office conversation today.
The person I talked with has said that 2025 is their year to make AI work for their business.

I expressed that I think it is good at somethings, and not so good at others.

They have tested it and feel AI agents are ready to handle low level enquiries for support and, most importantly, sales.

I looked for opinions on and found this article.

My opinion is that AI is great for structured work (based on structured data), but risky on creative work where customers are involved.

I'd be interested in hearing if I'm wrong and behind the latest developments. And what I should be looking at is this area.
Truly, a net positive to my life. Just a few days ago I asked my AI buddy (Claude) to create a zsh script to organize my downloads folder according to the Johnny Decimal system. I’ve since modified it to move the files to a JD setup on my desktop.

I think it's a false dichotomy: both sides pretend to care about free speech and other "classic liberal" values, and both sides' actions usually aren't aligned with this at all.

The side that has the largest gap between stated goals and actual policies then proceeds to lose the election.
it's been confirmed that MS uses these scripts themselves, internally :)
On the flip side, a long history of multiple paths through public education has led to Germany being a country where there is no universal expectation that everyone should/must get at least an undergraduate degree, and so inflation (in terms of both price and dilution of value) of degrees is lower than in countries like the UK or especially the US.

An acknowledged, well-designed, and state-supported path to vocational education is very good; social mobility is important within such a system, and a lack of social mobility doesn't have to be baked in.

Plenty VB6 apps use tons of APIs introduced well beyond 2001. I'm not too familiar with XYPlorer but it looks like it will support some more recent stuff if available.

One of my hobbies was writing demo projects showing the use of new APIs and COM objects. I have a shell browsing control with all of the features of Explorer; it for example can browse attached media devices like cameras and phones that don't even have normal file system paths and can't be used in older apps, because it's based entirely around shell interfaces and APIs not available until Vista. Another recent project was how to use the Win7+ Ribbon UI controls. I don't support earlier Windows versions than 7 at all in my personal projects now.

Security or certificates? No problem. I've written VB6 compatible versions of the entire BCrypt and NCrypt APIs covering everything up through the latest SDK, and people have written practical programs using those plus tons of other Windows security, crypto, and cert subsystems.

There's connection classes using the newest TLS versions. OAuth? Sure. People are replacing older in-app browsers with WebView2-based ones.

If that's still insufficient, and you really want something more modern, it's entirely possible and there's plenty of demos of using WinRT from VB6 and twinBASIC. XAML controls? Yup, people are doing it. We just had a big debate about the merits of using the latest Windows 11 RichEdit controls supporting color fonts directly vs using the XAML implementation instead, or implementing a windowless RichEdit with the modern Direct2D rendering pathway like the XAML one does underneath. Speaking of DirectX, there's also VB/tB compatible libraries for Direct3D 11 and 12 and the Media Foundation subsystem.

Just because a language is 'frozen' in 1998 doesn't mean it can't call modern APIs and use modern libraries. And now with twinBASIC it's unfrozen, adding tons of new language features and modernizations. Do you also think modern apps absolutely need the very latest C++ standards and you can't make modern apps in C++ 03?

Hell, I've even written demos of how to use tB to make kernel mode drivers that run on Win10/11, inspired by someone figuring out how to make one in VB6 that runs on Windows up through the last 32bit version. Since tB supports 64bit, they run on 64bit 10/11 now.

Shattered Pixel Dungeon in 2025
I've worked as a temp for my government in a bureaucracy (tax recovery/delaying) before studying CS (15 years ago now).

The bureaucracy have rules to disempower low-level civil servants and keep them from having too much agency.

Everytime someone asked for a payment delay on their taxes, i had to fill their data in 2 to 3 different software that did not allow pasting (well, the third one did, but wasn't used in most cases). If the info given by the citizen was wrong, I often took upon myself to correct it even. All that doesn't help with willingness to help, but like most people, if someone asks me for a payment delay, I'll accept it. But wait, I can't if this is the third year they ask one! (Or second year in a row). I had to go through another software to ask confirmation from an unknown person. Except the demand/justification wasn't in a mail but in a letter, in that case my manager had to handle it. Except she was overworked, so it took weeks, and sometimes the 'tax majoration coz not in time' was probably sent before the 'yeah, ok for the delay' letter (if you're in France and need help with taxes: send emails, not letters).

Most of the rules were probably there for good reasons: data separation and anonymity, and probably fraud/corruption prevention. That didn't make them good rules.
This is quite neat.
Every page is a <section id="pageid"> and css is

section {display:none}
section:target {display:block}

So they use the target selector which becomes active when #pageid is in the url.
But the html for all the pages is outputted, so this won't scale with a big blog.
I wonder how SEO is for this, and if there's a way to make this better with something like the <object> element.

I would also make it so the url was example.com/#/pageid, so the id is "/pageid". Looks a bit better I think.

I went to a state school in the North of England with a GCSE pass rate between 30-40% and this is a fair description of what it was like. At the time the performance of all schools was based on the percentage of students achieving at least a C including Maths and English, and as Goodhart’s law suggests this inevitably meant the school’s resources were optimised for getting students around the C grade borderline to pass while all other students didn’t get an education suited to their ability. The Gove reforms included changing how schools are assessed to a value-added measure, that I believe is commonly used in the United States, which has created the incentive for schools to focus on all students rather than just those near an arbitrary passing grade. The deeper underlying issue that’s harder to solve is the anti-aspirational culture that pervades through a lot of schools in deprived areas, in my experience most students didn’t really get the value a good education could bring to their lives and like the original comment treated it like internment rather than a route out of poverty.
OpenAI's Sam Altman urges Trump to ease power plant, data center construction
Yes, we had a word for that: racism.
Firstly, you don't need to spend America levels (more than than the next world powers combined) to have an efective military deterrent, since currently most EU member states barely spend 2% GDP on defense which is too little. You can have a strong military AND welfare services if you're smart about your state finances which many EU members are not(looking at you Germany), especially since defense investments create more jobs and innovations flowing back into the state coffers. Switzerland is a good example.

Secondly, America's defense is way more expensive than it needs to be due to a lot of high level corruption and lobbying from the military industrial complex profiteering when it comes to purchasing decisions, where a 10$ bag of bolts is bought by the military for 50K$, shovelings taxpayer money into the right private industry pockets. EU can achieve similar results with way less cost if it wanted to by minimizing this style of corruption but that's easier said than done. The only one rivaling America's military inefficiency is Germany who spends more than France, a nuclear power with aircraft carriers, but can't afford to issue underwear and dog tags to new conscripts.

Thirdly, America's lack of social services is not due to its powerful military, but due to political choices and inefficiencies. It could easily have better welfare if it wanted to since it can afford it with the world's largest GDP, but it chooses not to, since the current status quo is enriching a lot of private enterprises and parasites, while the concept of even more welfare is usually not a popular topic with the US voters which see welfare recipients as lazy and an unnecessary money sink funded by higher taxes on the middle class which they don't want. So their issue is social and political, not economical.

> Yes, you must copy and paste content and not having layout page is annoying at time

I think this was one of the most common usages of PHP in the beginning, at least for those who basically wrote static HTML/CSS and needed a header/footer. It was probably a gateway into more advanced dynamic pages, eventually ending up using databases and other advanced functionality.

<?php include('header.inc'); ?>

<p>Here's a list of my favourite movies</p>
<ul>
<li>...</li>
</ul>

<?php include('footer.inc'); ?>

It would be great if HTML had a similar capability. People have asked for it for over 30 years, so it's unlikely that it will be implemented now.
This paper (among some others that are referenced in this Wikipedia article) are also cited here and referenced.
If you want precise movement, I always recommend an external encoder, even if the motor itself already has one. You probably use some form of transmission and there is always some transmission tolerance.

Also a good engineering rule is to have your stepper provide double the maximum torque than you need by specification, especially if you use partial steps.

Common dc motors don't need as much tolerance, but it doesn't hurt anyway.

Also, you still need to debounce signals from optical encoders because of the inteference you mentioned, even if your physicist tells you that optical encoders cannot bounce.

To read encoders try to use timer interrupts instead of pin change interrupts. A bit unintuitive for software developers, but polling is safer because you have specified maximal speed and your µC program isn't disabled from magnetic interference as well. There are specialized µC for quadrature encoders, but you usually do not need them if you don't have high speed applications.
Have you actually looked at those "sources"? You should. Or rather, you shouldn't since you'd be wasting your time trying to find anything useful.
