   There are plenty of ways to do this without data going to the cloud. Plenty of non-cloud connected cameras- though many are more commercially oriented- and software that's reasonably priced like BlueIris. Everything is recorded in H264

   The linked article says they actually used Win10 for Ryzen tests due to this.

   Thanks! This extension was great for archiving materials from MOOCs (Coursera and such) for future reference. Also finding it useful for retrieving a bunch of things from some collections on Internet Archive, where their previews don't

   I originally was on Crashplan until they killed the consumer service- my main motivation for going with Crashplan was based on 1) ability to set set deleted files to never be removed from backup sets automatically, and 2) no restriction for

   Yep, this seems to be pretty much how Nespresso pods get named- both the "official" ones and "compatible" ones from Target, etc.

   A PhD is pretty much the minimum to be able to get much of anywhere in biology. In that context it's "don't do a postdoc, you'll never get a tenured position anymore".

   I think they might have meant "crap to develop for"?

   Not particularly defending the M1, but it might be that much of what you're using so far isn't available native and is going through Rosetta2? The other issues could be OS issues, but maybe it would be worth doing a RAM test?

    The C64 had the famous SID chip (MOS 6581) for sound. Famous in the chiptune scene at any rate. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MOS_Technology_6581

    I do miss pre-marketplace NewEgg, but they do at least make it pretty easy to show only items "sold and shipped by NewEgg" in the search filter.

    The row limits in Airtable seem absurd, and to me make it seem like a great tool to use for prototyping but not for long-term production. The biology lab I'm in has a bunch of Filemaker databases I've been thinking of migrating to

    Planning on watching Pirates of Silicon Valley today. Maybe not a 100% factual telling, but it strikes a good balance between facts and drama. I haven't seen the more recent Jobs-specific biopics because reviews were exceedingly mixed

    I've ended up having to explain the difference between Li-ion and NiMh batteries to people a bunch of times, and why lithium batteries often seem to have a longer service life, and have started to describe the general situation as &quo

    Thanks for the perspective, I have only done data analysis after the data is generated, and never have actually had to deal with an IRB directly for the design of a study.

    While a control group is essential to determine if the effect is really due to the treatment or to practice, if they did the mouse study first and expected a positive effect, then they might have felt pressure to only have a human treatment

    I like the idea of de-convoluting purpose from the information-pile, and indeed there is some weight associated with the thousand-something tabs I have open across multiple computers because they're all "open loops" in some

    Obligatory Japan Rail Maglev mention, the present plan for the Chuo shinkansen (bullet train) maglev is for 500 km/h in passenger service, though it's already been tested at speeds over 600 km/h. This train will eventually co

    Trains in Japan are only off-schedule when something really bad happens- collisions and severe weather delays. Both of those affect local lines much more than the Shinkansen (bullet train) since the latter does not share tracks with other s

    Thanks, the alternative funding approach makes sense. It really doesn't make any sense that everyone wants to utilize the output of large scale science that might not necessarily be hypothesis-driven at the start- but as an individual

    When I read your first sentence my brain was briefly trying to figure out if I had sleep-posted to HN somehow because it sounded so similar to my interests (and there aren't a whole lot of people in the aging+bioinformatics area). I th
