There is a lot of professional development during PhD too. Especially if you're at a well funded institution with enough prestige to have a lot of international collaboration. The resources are typically a lot more experimental and RnD

Depends what sort of company you wish to produce. 23andMe you could definitely have done without a PhD as its much more traditional market fit "lets do logistics". But Illumina to produce the micro array in the first place or have

Dunno the context of evolution goes a very long way even on the biochem.

+1 for this is a PhD level thing. The science and technology is not at the sort of commodity level where you do a masters and you're done really. A good approach is to just get in the face of a lot of lab people working on new tech&#x2

Raku isnt falling from public favor, it hasn't made it yet. It's an entirely different language to Perl 5. Like the difference between C and C# or Java.

What about the hash strategy used in dicts? I'm holding on to hope.

One day my comment on the article might get approved showing that the syntax is also "modern" since like 2008! 2014 was formal support in the core of the language with `use feature 'signatures'` in version 5.20

Historically humans have asked this of other humans which typically are the darkest parts of our history where we devalued one another. Perhaps the Octopus is just happy with its lot. They also don't live very long only a handful of ye

We have no idea if they feel excruciating pain we know they have a pain and stress response. That isn't actually the same thing. But why not play it safe.

Your understanding before wasn't quite right. The ionizing in ionizing radiation is the key, its about knocking off an electron to form an ion. So that's something like a UV photon exciting an electron and breaking a covalent chem

The difference is mainly of scale, would you describe calcium signalling and calcium ionic standing waves using quantum mechanics? You could. But its not relevant or helpful to do so as that bulk effect doesn't act as a quantum system

by Ultimatt 7y ago
That article has nothing to do with the OP. There are plenty of effects which are quantum systems in molecular biology, photo chemistry especially and the quantum tunnelling of electrons and ions. That is not what is being discussed here at

Yup the biology bit is hocus pocus. If you read the single author arxiv paper referenced, its thinking is quite confused on the biology. The main thing discussed is hydrogen bonding between nucleotide pairs which doesn't fit the magi

What if the entire of the USA was a desolate wasteland in 100 years, due to climate change, but Russia was a verdant paradise. Is your expectation everyone goes where its productive still?

Wat? Consider Perl was created in 1987 when compute resources were things like the Apple II with a Motorola 68020 at 16 MHz with 4MB of RAM. Exactly what do you imagine was the reaction back then? Something being "interpreted" (wh

Not entirely convinced performance stops it being taken seriously, it just prevents some use cases. Unless you've tried a really recent version of Rakudo and found it monstrously slow at something? If you have, report it!

It's real old and out of date now, but the STD grammar of Perl 6 was written in Perl 6 ahead of time and the Pugs implementation worked against it https://github.com/perl6/std/blob/master/STD.pm6 Ra

This is literally what the holographic principle addresses... https://youtu.be/B2ksDczJOAs Leonard Susskind has enough accessible vids and lectures to give a conceptual idea of how it works out.

The Rakudo compiler targeting MoarVM is also "finished" in the sense I expect it would take you a while to find something not implemented from the spec. More advanced things like concurrency and parallelism features are ready, and

Replacing "I don't know" with "this is undefined in the spec" or "this is implementation specific" would probably increase the pass rates.
