not really. i work in the field. any commercial offering is likely subject to this. every company i've worked for that does personal testing eventually gives their data to someone: other companies, or law enforcement. it's even wo

i find it peculiar how tribal people are about languages. python is fantastic. you're not winning anyone over with comments like this. just go write your javascript and be happy, bud.

ah, that’s what I was trying to describe. this is a linkedin post. i really wish mods came out hard and fast against this linkedin cruft that is taking up all the space on HN. i want to see people hacking on hardware and AI and telling us h

i'm about to do it myself. the streaming services are just generally putting out shitty content (there's the occasional gem), charging more, and creating more and more walled gardens. it sucks to be a consumer right now other than

I am so sorry for your loss. I’m sadly a CS guy living in a biology world and don’t have the foresight to predict anything like that.

right. single cell analysis is a big thing people are hoping to achieve. the cigarette study i mentioned was looking at cells in the lungs and tumor samples iirc.

i’ve worked in R&D for DNA sequencer companies for over a decade. this is a pretty good TLDR on why genetic testing is a “complicated” test. you kind of need continuous testing over your lifetime to see what’s changing due to cell divis

the project had some sass i didn’t want to port back to css. i’m using dartsass to compile it to css which is a recommendation in the rails guide.

the path forward is clear, and it’s no build/importmap based. i just overhauled a 15 year old rails project from rails 4 to 7, and ruby 2 to 3. ripping out webpack reduced deploy time by 90% the complexity of the app is greatly reduced

how is _anyone_ surprised by this?
