Definitely understandable, the proliferation of api creds and ways of passing them in is a major pain point.

Did you look into the existing org-sync package? I know the use case is slightly different but I think it still works.

Let's assume that you mean activation patterns at the level of single cells. Aside from the ethical issues which make it virtually impossible to obtain the full set of data, there …

This is incorrect. You can write a parser for org. See for example https://github.com/tgbugs/laundry . Work toward standardization has been stalled because I (among others) have no…

A great related article on mammalian megafauna and plants. https://www.americanforests.org/article/the-trees-that-miss-...

I wonder if there are existing data sources that could be used to implement an optimal pot hole patching priority lists at scale. Identify pot hole locations. Combine with traffic …

One way to work around the heat dissipation issues in space (and also on earth) is to move to computing systems that operate entirely at cryogenic temperatures to take advantage of…

It is [0]. All the pages are generated from org sources. If you scroll to the bottom of any page there is a link. Also tec used to have an overlay that would show you the org sourc…

This points to a potential answer to a long standing question I've had about why some hairs stop growing at certain lengths. If the force is being generated by cellular migration t…

I like to compare these to CENTENNIA [0,1], which was the first program like this that I ever encountered (back in 6th grade). My test, is to see whether the program records the Na…

A fully psychometric version of this that explores more than just the fovea could be created by varying the scale parameter (if you crank it up high enough you can see the movement…

One science museum that is not like that is the Deutsches Technikmuseum Berlin, at least when I was there (shudder) about a decade ago. It was a museum that was designed for parent…

I think about this every single time I drive by a stretch of road that has these. You can't have public goods when the value of those goods in private hands is greater than the ris…

I'm going to ignore the issues of mind/body dualism since they are orthogonal to the argument I want to make about Nagel's bat. The short version is that if we can approximate the …

Just walk up to the gate of your nearest Concent next Apert and they will take you right in! Actually, I don't know how you join the Ita now that you mention it.

Given that blue books are likely to make a comeback in college as one solution to AI based cheating, I think that rumors of handwriting's death are somewhat exaggerated. Unfortunat…

This would seem to be a direct corollary to the red queen hypothesis applied in the context corporations instead of species. That is, in a competitive environment you have to keep …

I think there is an unspoken implication built into the assumption that AI will be able to replace a wide variety of existing jobs, and that is that those current jobs are not bein…

I highly recommend watching [0] for an introduction to Coalton in the context of CL. Specifically it provides an excellent example of how the type system makes the language more ex…

One thing I find amusing about generation ships is that the prerequisite understanding of systems ecology, biology, political organization, etc. required to actually make them succ…

Yes, have been using Flask on PyPy3 for years. I get about a 4x speedup.

The relation of these results to natural short sleep [0] is of great interest. In particular the observation that individuals with these mutations also appear to be protected from …

Minor factual correction. Octopuses are not color blind, they only have a single photo receptor opsin but likely reconstruct color using chromatic aberration in combination with di…

For at least the "keep secrets out of version control" I implemented a python library (and racket library) that has served me well over the years for general configuration [0]. One…
