I made a udemy-course called "Drastically improve your speed on the Linux commandline" [1]. It has generated enough to cover the a bunch of domain names, but not much more, and I have many times questioned whether it was worth bur

This. I tend to think a key to really understanding something, is the ability to put that "something" in to contexts at a wide variety of abstraction levels. That's what I hated the most with uni: Some professors could write

For a recent book / set of papers on the topic of understanding biological information, I can recommend having a look at the BINP book: http://www.binp.org (Biological Information, New Perspectives). It is a collection of p

I maintain that it takes utter foolishness to not acknowledge the screaming intelligent design behind nature. Seldom does it get clearer than when we as information systems designers study the information systems in nature, and find basical

Perhaps they include the weight of stuff like histones [1], which DNA is wound up upon in order not to get entangled. That could add some considerable weight. Also there are various epigenetic modifications on top of that, further adding we

Well ... it seems you might be right. Another estimation states: "Capable of storing 215 petabytes (215 million gigabytes) in a single gram of DNA, the system could, in principle, store every bit of datum ever recorded by humans in a c

Yep, the smallest atom, hydrogen, weights ~ 6 * 10^-23 of a gram [1] (that's 0.000... some 23 zeroes ... and corresponds to 1 "atomic unit"), and other atoms weight just tens or hundreds times more (so still in same ballpark)

Yes. I've been hopping around on too many distros in the past and always come back to LTS versions of xubuntu. Everything else just creates a lot of unanticipated pain or annoyance after some usage. Lubuntu would be the next best, if y

The explanation of FPGAs between 5:00 and ~12:00 was very very good. TL;DW: - FPGAs are more power-efficient than CPUs and GPUs - FPGAs are more flexible than ASICs FPGAs vs CPUs: - CPU: Sequentially apply instructions on data in place - FP
