I want long-read raw data. Also Europe (Germany) and simple consumer. Is there any third-party service that offers this? How much will it cost me? Why must it be long-read? The info I want is from nearly identical duplicated genes. I have

"You don't, all the drones used in warfare are remote-controlled." Is this really true. My (admittedly) naive understanding was that in a first phase radio remote controlled drones were used. Then jamming became widespread

Nice for a kid in the afternoon. Not so fun when it gets out of bed at 3:00 AM when you need to function the next day.

As someone who grew up near an US military base with constant low altitude aircraft noise: No thank you, I'd prefer the leaf blower any time.

Is 52 a typo or did he really say that? The US has 50 states, so why not 51?

Dostoevsky published many of his novels in installments in journals. Being easy to read and hooking the reader in was a basic requirement for his writing to be successful.

Well, German bureaucracy is out of hand but selling freshly founded (or sometimes deliberately aged) companies to speed up and ease the founding process is neither absurd nor uncommon. I think the business of selling shelf companies exists

I don't think domestic invoices should be reissued once the VAT ID arrives. So, the story is really that it takes a couple of weeks for a freshly founded company to be ready to invoice customers outside of Germany, which I agree, is a

Yes, my suspicion is that OP went to a lawyer and said: "I want to minimize my risk as much as possible, what do I do?" And of course, lawyers being lawyers, answered you need to wear both a belt and suspenders. This is the answ

Not to defend German bureaucracy but if you are serious and want results this is not how you do it. If you want a GmbH quickly there are specialized lawyers that maintain a pool of freshly founded GmbH's for you to buy. Everything is s

WASM has strong tried and proven sandboxing. We basically can build on nearly 30 years of experience. The decoders don't need a lot of access, they can basically be pure functions. If this will pan out security-wise I don't know.

"Git is forever" Many things were forever until they suddenly died, but I think this is especially true for git. I'm not saying this as a git hater, quite to the contrary. I think git is great. I also think git is an ill-fi

Had a class reunion recently and we got a tour through our old school building. Of course everything had changed beyond recognition during the past 30 years, except for one thing: The old tree right outside the window was still the same. I

stdx is not the best example. The most popular package that is not on crates.io is probably embassy. Also Debian tries to build and distribute independently from crates.io. So crates.io is important but is not the (Rust) world.

Yes, unfortunately it is true. Sad, but I could live with that. What in my opinion is unacceptable is that it requires you to give permission to "read your organization and team membership and private Projects" . I made a separ

"LLMs struggle with Typst a bit" My experience is the opposite. Especially when instructing the LLM to do very fine grained and detailed adjustments. Works like a charm. Typst is my go-to format if I need more than plain text.

What use is cabin luggage when for the cheaper tickets you are inevitably pressured to check it? This happens to me most of the time on short haul flights in Europe. They basically sell higher priced tickets with two items of cabin luggage

Back in 2023 there was talks about Microsoft rewriting the font stuff in Rust for similar reasons Apple is now doing the Swift move. I'm not sure what became of it and if it ever shipped. If anyone knows I'd be curious.

The article closes with the question: "Does open source matter anymore?" I wouldn’t pretend to have an answer. of course. Opens Source means, always meant, different things to different people. I know what always counted for m

A bit the article falls into the trap it warns against. It isn't really about "nerds" , more about a certain type of founder. A true title (also dispensing the unnecessary swear) would have been: "What happened to the
