The RNA->protein translation process is pretty awesome. Here's a very informative video: https://youtu.be/TfYf_rPWUdY Also Wikipedia page on the ribosome has a good description if you're patient enough to read

What is the purpose of having a control person on the ground, can't the control be the same person before they went to space? I don't suppose a person changes so much in one year that aging would be a significant factor.

Ah, right, seems like I have mistaken the first paragraph as a summary of the post.

Can the organism replicate the XY pairs during DNA replication (and pass it on to divided cells)? I haven't seen that mentioned, only that it "holds onto it for its entire lifespan" which is not clear to me. There's also

Surely it would have an unacceptable performance impact. Probably you'd need to run the matching in the GPU to get anything remotely useful, and you would literally kill battery life.

From what I can tell, some of the pre-placed countries are rotated probably on purpose, you can unrotate them with the compass. I haven't seen the issue with any country added via the search.

I was implying a compile-time solution, i.e. where the result of the mapping is constexpr. On second though, maybe it can be done at compile time, with this: http://b.atch.se/posts/constexpr-counter/

That's great to know. I had no idea since it's not mentioned in the man page for clock_gettime (part of the "Linux Programmer's Manual"). Apparently the man pages are out of date.

I say it's preferable to eliminate leap seconds from UTC time and treat them as part of the calendar. It's not lazyness, it's just sane design. If everything was measured in calendar time, there is a lot of inefficiency invol

CLOCK_MONOTONIC is good, but it's a local clock without a defined reference. So you can't use it on the network to synchronize different computers or otherwise communicate absolute timestamps. There should be a CLOCK_REALTIME_RAW

by ambrop7 10y ago
The problem is not really with leap seconds themselves but that they are virtually universally implemented in computer systems as part of the "seconds-since-epoch time" as the lowest level interface to the clock (e.g. POSIX clock_

I only skimmed the article but it seems this requires "registration" for each type and does not support template types. What I would love to see it a completely generic type-to-value map ToValue<T> for ANY T, possibly templa

Yes. If the path changes to one with a lower MTU, there might be a problem. Could be solved by truncating the packet instead of dropping it. Actually, I think this would be an even better approach. No extra field in the IP header, just trun

Good observation. But it's not a deal-breaker. The receiving host can report that MTU back to the sender (to which it would really apply in case of asymmetric paths), e.g. as part of the TCP handshake in a TCP option, and possibly subs

by ambrop7 10y ago
Considering the MTU issues: Does anyone know why this was not solved in IP (and IPv6) by the following method: 1) There is a field MTU in the IP header. 2) The sending host sets MTU := <MTU of the outgoing link>. 3) Any router on the

You do not need modulo or division to implement non-power-of-2 ring buffers. Because you will only increment by one. So instead of "x = x % BufferSize" you can do "if (x >= BufferSize) x -= BufferSize;" or similar. Th

Yes you have missed that a valid header may appear by chance somewhere near the end of main zip data. Because your algorithm will prefer picking up headers toward the front, it might misinterpret a valid file, even one without a magic numb

Technically speaking, a cyclotron is just a type of particle accelerator. In medicine I suppose it can imply something more specific (PET imaging but also proton therapy).

As has already been mentioned, there are industries where the code simply must have no bugs and in those code reviews will be different. Most critical components may be written by a very small team perhaps even a single person, as multipl
