Sadly the rescheduled care is getting cancelled due to lack of ITU beds for post-surgery. I don't know what's going, but there seems to be a backlog of complaints that people are only now getting investigated, and with increased

I am weary of this newspaper's reporting - they wage a continual war on the NHS, and they seem to have some writers paid to continually put out negative news on the NHS. Two points: 1. COVID-19 is the most thrombogenic infectious disea

We were the original fanboys (A1200 here). Joking aside, they were amazing machines that people, somehow, became emotionally involved with.

I guess poster is referring to purely using physics to work out the structure - i.e. no more knowledge than how atoms/molecules move and the sequence. At the moment knowledge is gleaned from evolution by virtue of evolutionary conserv

The key difference seems to be using the multiple alignments and assumption about evolutionary conservation? Useful for genes conserved, but less useful for de-novo proteins (like COVID and cancer) I guess?

The IGN video seemed to suggest that.

That's a good point. I reckon it'd be fairly trivial to get EmulationStation working nicely on it.

I wondered why they didn't go for the same style as their Steam controllers with the concave pads.

Can I also add that one person doing something has a knock on effect on other people's behaviour. Similar to the drink-drive argument before which was 'everyone does it' whereas these days, where I live, it absolutely isn&#x

This is a great comment. My story isn't nearly as bad as this. I just happened to be born the son of an asshole. I really don't take responsibility for this or his behaviour - but I was brought up being made to believe it was m

Oh that's great. I'm really glad to see Julia getting faster there.

I would say R has a beautiful functional approach which is very hard to replicate in python. It is also faster than Python and Julia for tabular/dataframe data. Ggplot is fantastic - I tried to recreate some relatively simple plots (

If you've come from an imperative style of programming, you may end up fighting R before figuring out how it works best. It has a beautiful functional style, best demonstrated by tidyverse and map/apply functions. R has the fast

Why isn't R a proper programming language? What would you use over R for data analysis or statistical analysis? R has a beautiful functional ability based on S-expressions, allowing some clever stuff to be done (i.e. tidyverse), incre

Not sure I agree with this. Most statistical analysis is a 'do once' thing, but using Excel would not be a good choice. Reproducibility and immutability of the source data are two good reasons to write a script.

That's fascinating. How did the software work with that? Were they native apps flagged to run on the different processor, or was DOS booted on a screen (can't remember what they were called in workbench now) and programs run fro

I havent read the article yet, but just to point out that Alzheimer's as a diagnosis is quite a specific one that requires a brain biopsy to prove. This doesn't generally happen. More common is probably vascular dementia - a dis

I'm heartened to come here and see people refusing to do things for ethical reasons. You need better protections in your work though. I work in the medical field, and refusing to do something is a common occurrence and certainly not

I just can't understand how there can be so much argument about the position of a task bar. Why can't Windows just allow people to do what they like with it? I know plenty of people who have their taskbar vertically, surely it c

Yes, all these tests have different characteristics. I think I was making the point that there isn't an "infection" test. Temperature's are useful because they are an immediate response by your body and they can be che

CRP has a three day delay - it gives you an idea of what was going on. Fevers are induced my macrophages encountering the antigen and are quite immediate.

I'm not sure I agree with you about this - I think your absolute speed is the main safety concern. If you're accelerating hard to the same speed, I don't see much added danger to that. You reach the road speed earlier, but

Yes, but it's changing rapidly. Our other family car was about $10000 when we got it, I'm not keen to spend too much more. But I'm holding on to when it needs replacing that a second hand electric will closer to this cost t

The range thing depends on your use case, and clearly it isn't going to suit you. I have a pretty long commute - 60-70 miles each day, but this is easily swallowed by an electric. Most people use their cars to commute and do errands

The way you use the word 'created' makes me think you are externalising the ethics of your choices.

I picked up through my work an Audi E-tron 50. It was a second car, so I wasn't riding everything on it. What surprised me is that I am going to resist ever buying a car with an ICE now. People complain about range, but the issue is
