Yes but... no one is dumping anything remotely random here :) It's using existing building mechanism in cells to have it build a specific protein that will bind to a specific pathogen. And lot of clinical tests to try to detect if thos

I fail to see what is terrifying, exactly? Care to elaborate?

Also interesting to note that this is a mRNA vaccine, where the production of antigen within the cell is induced by injecting a RNA sequence instead of a disabled virus.

Anyone who's using Esc to return to normal mode isn't a hacker imho. Sarcams aside (I'm referring to `:imap jj <Esc>`), I would say that sticking to staggering is the real sin here.

I don't get it, I may be missing some context thought: why the author didn't go for running said webapps directly on the VPS in the first place? Why bother running it on the Pi and set up the tunnel (which is a nice hack in itself

Not even sure there's a decent internet connection down there :)

The comparison isn't really meaningful thought: this french castle is in the middle of absolutely nowhere . You are 2h away by car from the either Bordeaux or Nantes, which are your closest chances to find an IT job.

That data speaks for itself. And we're still talking about an average output. When wind will not blow enough for meeting consumption then additional energy will be drawn from other sources, and it will, it already is. Renewable energy

Well, according to the Big Freeze theory (seems to be the most probable) 500 million years is less than a blink of an eye when compared to the time the universe will consume until it cannot anymore.

We aren't 'fucking' with the way nature works. You're failing to see the big picture here. We are part of what you call 'nature', surely you'll agree with that being a non-believer, so at least you should

Completely relevant. There's a variant where you don't need CF: compile/install Caddyserver on your box, let it handle the LE certificates by itself, and use it as a reverse proxy to deliver the request to your current webser

Ho, sounds exactly what I'm in the process of laying down at work! Do you push to on premises deployment or is it pure saas? The former is obviously harder to tackle, and unfortunately that's the case here.

Those are beliefs from the past. Given time it will change. What human kind is biologically hardwired for is personal survival ability, not leaving the world for youngsters as soon as possible, and those two precepts are mutually exclusive.

by bpizzi 6y ago
Those beliefs you spell are quite absolutes to me. Humanity is not made after a single mind model. What you take for granted (« nobody has endless capacity for creating the new ») might very well be an utterly false premise.

Right now unsupervised learning techniques aren't able to teach a meaningful world model to a neural network. But this won't last (hopefully), thanks to our brilliant co-humans doing cutting-edge research on that subject. And when

You should aim for orthogonal and spitted keyboards. Big changes, you possibly need to relearn to type, but potentially life changing. One model among others which is safe for recommendation is Ergodox EZ. Warning: not cheap, none are.

Yes, dedicated alarm clock indeed. However I wouldn't count "swiping the alarm off" as a valid case of "looking at my phone first thing in the morning" if you just stick to turn off the alarm.

While I just had to check if there was such a "time tracker" on my iPhone. Yes there is and I had not activated it.

The text starts with "there are a thousand beautiful ways to start the day that don’t begin with looking at a phone. And yet so few of us choose to do so.". Is it really so? I'm only a single datapoint, but checking my phone

Here are counterarguments for counterbalancing your pessimistic view, do what you want with it: humans are not stupid, and god doesn't exist.

Exactly. I see downvotes on my GP post, I'm simply stating the fact: if you need state for a building a powerful webapp then obviously there's better runtimes that PHP+Apache, I don't see how one could disagree with that stat

by bpizzi 6y ago
Yeah sure, no need for state in a CRUD API. But while it is the most common use case for PHP applications (well actually for application written in scripting languages working with http servers), it's not the only use case. When the on

OTOH, sometime you need state, then you feel stuck with a half-finished language.

You want a function that accepts a pointer when you want to modify an outside value within a function without returning the value. In that case, the func accepts a pointer (like in `func(p int)`) and you pass it either a pointer (a var dec

Conflating tobacco induced deaths with covid19 deaths is, for one, a giant big mental shortcut. Then throwing lockdowns in it. And finally ending of a 'mother nature is wounded' note. This is not Reddit guys.
