Not tested this myself, but there are ways to improve markdown/org-mode interop, like in https://youtu.be/RJqRwlVvB3E

What would be a typical size of the search index, let's say after 5 years of intense browsing?

Remember when Google acquired YouTube for $1.6B in 2006? That amount seemed ridiculous at the time. Its now peanuts compared to YouTube's yearly revenue.

Very interesting project! I can imagine usefulness even beyond the intended use case, namely in joining the information from multiple large genomics studies. The sharing and access of such data becomes increasingly difficult, and by this ap

Very cool! Looking forward to try out the xref and markdown features. The latter becomes increasingly important since the developer community at large seems to disagree with org-mode being the superior syntax...

Maybe for marketplace articles shipped from outside the EU. It's not legal, so Amazon will surely have a close look (for directly sold items), as well as any company shipping from within the EU.

I guess the author refers to the fact that many well-known tools have some randomness built-in. The most obvious one is differences due to the order of parallel processing. But these differences are often small and have no significant downs

Does anyone remember the art of optimising MSDOS startup to have enough free memory for games? And inspecting gorillas.bas? For me, this probably contributed to an interest to learn more and experiment. In fact, I'd like to encourage m

This is the right mindset. Securing huge piles of heterogeneous data while giving PhD students the freedom to "play" with it are quite conflicting goals.

From a bioinformatics perspective, the general approach is fine. Here is another post from today where someone landed on the similar technologies: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47825381

Maybe a future direction will be the submission of detailed research, specifications and change plans for feature requests. Something that can be assessed by a human and turned into working code by both slides.

Yes, they are only mentioned in the last section. Other notable misses would be Ion Torrent and MGI. Still a nice article with a focus on the key technologies.

Agree. I used a color e-ink to display my son's school timetable (previously discussed at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42408546 ), and it has been running reliably for 18 months, with charging needed every 4-5 m

Using it for both transactional and marketing emails (but "only" for thousands of recipients) for some years. Could need some polish IMO, but the core offering is solid. Support is helpful, too.

This looks great! Shout out to FreeCol, a reimagined Colonization, that has the same isometric look and is a lot of fun.

I'd like to hypothesize a little bit about the strategy of OpenAI. Obviously, it is nice for academic users that there is a new option for collaborative LaTeX editing plus LLM integration for free. At the same time, I don't think

It's a good price because the yearly statements for an LLC/GmbH are costly. We pay about 200/mo for accounting - with some more invoices :) -, 100/mo for payrolls but also the yearly statement alone is more than 2k. You

Agreed. In case you do not have big investors, just register as an individual entrepreneur, get a bank account and get going! It can be turned into a LLC/GmbH later if business goes well. Also taxes will be much easier. Just get one of

My wife has a Fairphone 4, released 2021. The earpiece broke. I ordered a replacement; it arrived within 3 days and was very easy to replace. So a good experience with that.

Similarly, the Play Store cannot be limited and so for a kid it's easy to spend time on promotional app videos there. So the app limits are mostly useless, since you have to fully lock the phone to disable this.

Yes, but note the mutation rate of germline cells - that are passed to your offspring and hence influence evolution - is estimated to be two orders of magnitude lower than other (somatic) cells.
