How many Mac Pro's have ever sold? Or the Pro Display XDR that costs more than the Vision Pro... Apple are in the business of generating hype and a ladder of hype and glam around what would otherwise be boxes of electronics. They then

That's a different meaning of endosymbiosis at a more macro scale. This is cellular endosymbiosis. Having bacteria in your gut is not the same as having them be integrated at a molecular level into your cells as an organelle. You'

The main issue is the majority of managers arent especially qualified to make a judgement of the code itself which makes the metric spurious at best. Lines changed is at least a better version than lines added. But it is fairly devoid of me

Valid comment, unless $is_bad_example. I genuinely really like the use of unless in Perl. There are lots of times it's nicer to express inverse logic. You could change the name of a variable to have inverse truthyness and not have if n

I'd say this is more like pytorch is horribly packaged and a nightmare as an eng user to integrate into codebases. All of their assumptions are you use conda and are a datascientist one time doing something in an ipython notebook. Very

There are proteins known as "Intrinsically Unstructured Proteins" or "disordered" proteins. That function with no fixed configuration. Typically a good way of thinking about them is an ensemble of transient more common s

Right... but the title before the first line reads "DataFrames for the new era". If you don't know what a data frame is then, yes, it's for people who already know that.

I'd say you're pushing from flippant to disrespectful on the who and how of this being done. Starting with you've got Addenbrooks and Guangzhou hospitals collecting the foetal material that will have been lovingly donated fro

I suspect a lot of the back to brick is actually more phase one of dealing with damp. Once its dried out a lot of houses in my area then go and get coloured insulating render. So it's not even paint anymore but the actual material is c

Maybe more readable but less testable and less maintainable longer term.

That was already and always the function and value of a university... Notice the academics aren't sitting in lectures 6 hours a day or trying to pass exams to obtain degrees. They're the longterm users of universities and educatin

Why would a teenager bother going to college, if the society they live in is decaying and doesn't even maintain capabilities it held three generations prior. Especially if the communicated focus from their parents is to only ever worry

It's more GNU Parallel has host groups in a config so you can send files for a job to the right one where its going to execute and bring things back. Essentially it can turn a local xargs type job into any kind of remote task execution

Tobacco isn't a model organism at all. Solacea genomes only really got sorted in the late 2010s. Its worth pointing out if you could do something in Tobacco you could have done it in Tomato or Potato, you know those crops that dont kil

Lots of people discussing tech or quality reasons for the decline. I'd like to suggest something far worse, there is a huge decline in the number of junior professionals in our field due to global economic pressures. There are less peo

A more unique selling point is having an easily and widely serviced ebike since its complexity and serviceability is worse than a normal push bike for ordinary people. You can get trackers for most other ebike systems.

The point that flew over your head is every one wants one spice rack. There is no scale, no one wants a 1km long spice rack or 10,000 small ones either. That you can just buy a ready made one is even more to the authors point. Most software

There is also a hidden variable about being tired too, and if you don't slack off you waste months in forced situations with asking for breaks with the supervisor or burning out.

That reasoning feels a bit like saying only tens of millions of smart phones will sell because rotary dial telephones have been around since the 1890s. I think its very fair to say the Quest and PSVR and all their friends are a big leap fro
