I feel like Beyond Earth was a great game trying to break out of a mediocre one. I love the way the quest system forces you down a particular victory condition, the way you can bully other factions using fear rather than respect, and how th

Even with pinning, a common pattern I've seen in one of my orgs is to have a bot (Renovate, I think Dependabot can do this too) automatically update the pinned SHA when a new release comes out. Is that practically any different than ju

There are injectable and transdermal (pour-on and ear tag) forms for cattle and pigs. I'm not aware of an oral formulation for food animals, even though that's pretty common for horses.

Despite broadcasting their user agents properly, the AI companies ignore robots.txt and still waste my server resources. So yeah, the dishonest botnets will have an advantage, but I don't give swindlers a pass just because they rob me

Alternatives that I haven't seen mentioned yet: - Just download the Game Porting Toolkit from Apple - Use Porting Kit - Dual-boot Asahi Linux and game from that partition I've used all of these, and they all seem to perform about

This is a good summary of the power of Julia's type system in performance. The `2^-5` seems like a bad example, tho, because it renders as a float. Every version of Julia I can run also allows it to work. I assume this used to error?

Exactly. "Conservation" is the wise use of resources, while "preservation" is the complete rewilding of those resources.

Asahi is an adventure. I am in the same camp where I got a MacBook for the hardware, but am really a Linux guy. I got really excited when the fex/muvm patches came out for Asahi, and switched to mainly booting it for a couple months. 8

Maybe semantics, but Brucella suis isn't a "rare bacteria," it's a rare cause of a rare (human) disease in the US. B. suis is endemic in feral pig populations.

Table stakes is a poker term meaning the absolute minimum amount you are allowed to bet. So the title translates to "In S3, simplicity is the bare minimum" or "In S3, simplicity is so important that if we didn't have it,

I usually tell people, "It's like iMessage, but it works on iPhone and Android," or "Hey, if you download Signal we can send high-quality photos between Android and iPhone."

I immediately thought of Julia as a semi-dynamic language. Julia is a dynamic language, but (as I understand it) the first time a function is called with a specific type signature, that specific method is JIT compiled as static LLVM.

Raw milk is milk that has not undergone pasteurization or homogenization. Depending on the state (in the US), raw milk may be illegal to sell, but there are ways to work around that for the determined. Creamline milk is milk that was pasteu

VCF is, in my opinion, one of the nicest file formats in bioinformatics. It encodes the minimum amount of data needed to identify a variant call by default (unlike SAM for alignment, cough, cough) while being flexible enough to allow for co

I fundamentally disagree with the "gun to the head" strategy. One of the major projects I worked on was a virus genome analysis pipeline. Our initial funding was for single-segment virus analysis, but about a year into the project

I once got into a debate with a classmate in undergrad. He had seen a Ted Talk and was very worried that CRISPR was going to create a new race of designer babies. I tried to explain that even CRISPR wasn't there yet, but he was under t
