I have no idea what I'm seeing here. I don't doubt what they are saying, but that looks nothing like the models of DNA that are used as eye candy in movies and such.

I suspect it's the same reasons nuclear launch facilities use floppy disks -- the solution is approved, and getting a new solution approved is viewed as too expensive/infeasible. Not saying the argument is valid, just that it may

It is somewhat hypocritical. Curiously their school paper (or w.e.) recently posted a treatise [1] on free speech, including this bit: > We also believe that the essential definition of free speech has itself been twisted and clouded. Fr

Forcing new members to post obscene content to the main chat I think was their damnable offense here. Both the main and offshoot were technically private chats, but the people in the main chat didn't sign up for that kind of behavior.

It comes off as lazy, but as long as they don't make me remember a password I don't mind confirming a few details.

It's true, there is a steep learning curve. I'm not sure that's a good comparison though, for example I don't use CSSPS but it has nothing to do with the learning curve. So for comparison, how do the majority of people d

After working with JSX, HTML/templating just feels like a step backwards. Web pages these days are far less about the template and far more about the logic and interactions involved. Subsequently building up from HTML the way pages use

I'm ignorant on this topic... Why so many columns? I would expect there would be some way to break the data down or transpose it somehow to make it more manageable. At that point are you even really dealing with a database as most peop

To be honest, "this kind of work" was a euphemism for "Just what the hell are you doing that requires over a thousand columns?" I understand though that sometimes customers give you a rotting dumpster of data and ask for

Maybe. I suppose it depends on the goal. From my own experience, generally the barrier for being productive at a job was soft skills, in that if a team member was suffering from an insufficient hard skill but had good people skills/per

It is pretentious, but it strikes me as the kind of rule that is handy because those who need to break it will KNOW they need to break it, whereas those who should follow it will be on the fence.

> PostgreSQL is limited to 1600 columns in a table, and the column limit for a select clause isn't much bigger. We have several times this number of columns in our largest analytic tables. Is that typical for this kind of work?

ISPs in the U.S. are already way out in front of this on both legislative and legal fronts. They help write and push state legislation to make this difficult/impossible and sue anyone who tries into oblivion while finding ways to deny

They don't seem to understand that once you lose trust and reputation in a community you will struggle to get it back. For example this thread has more or less convinced me to take Firebase off the table for any future projects I might

Hulu did the same thing (with their Xbox app at least) recently and it really got me thinking. After a while I started to think maybe they aren't optimizing for what we might expect. By providing a UI that makes it slightly harder to f

I imagine many do, you just don't hear about them. For example I know a few people who are millionaires but you wouldn't know it to talk to them. They don't live overly extravagant lives. They have a nice house, some hobbies

The free market argument is so frustrating to hear, and yet I do hear it from people... You can't expect free market theory to work when you take net neutrality with one hand while giving ISPs the right to practically pen state legisla
