Thanks for this OP. Really enjoyed finding solutions, and of course reading comments about all crazy looking solutions as well. This is the stuff that keeps me hooked to HN!

I remember being given another puzzle in my childhood, where the task was to put 8 queens on the board and none of them should "see" each other. Wonder how many solutions exist for that one..

ETA: Apparently it's a classic puzzle, and there are 92 solutions - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eight_queens_puzzle

There is also a nice Veritasium video about it, if you prefer that: https://youtu.be/w5ebcowAJD8

More info about us:

CSIR-Centre for Cellular and Molecular biology is a premier research organization in Hyderabad, India, working on all aspects of basic and applied biology. We are a household name in the field of genomics in India. We have been at the forefront of COVID19 genomics since March 2020, and have contributed to multiple aspects of COVID19 research, testing, diagnostics, and surveillance since the last 16 months.

Recently, we received several million dollars of funding to tackle the pandemic in India using various genomic technologies. This includes genomic surveillance, tracking and identifying new viral variants that may be of interest/concern, waste water and zoonotic surveillance etc. In addition to this, we are also funded well in other aspects of genomics such as population and cancer genomics.

We are currently looking for several talented and motivated individuals at all levels to join us in contributing to these large scale, multi-institute collaborative genomics projects of national importance. If selected, your work will involve one or more of the following:

Large scale (genomic/epidemiological) data analysis

Development or refinement of algorithms that improve the speed and accuracy of data analysis

Data dissemination using web portals

Data visualization/Statistics

Senior positions will involve leading a small team of junior devs/bioinformaticians in the above mentioned topics.

We typically use Python and R for data analysis, and our web portals are typically based on VueJS/Django/MongoDB, running on Ubuntu/CentOS servers. However, we welcome all languages and technologies.

Keywords: Genomics, Bioinformatics, COVID19, Breast Cancer

Come join a group of scientists working at the intersection of genomics and computer science to address problems relevant to healthcare in India and across the world. CCMB[1] is currently looking to fill multiple positions in various genomics projects including but not limited to COVID genomics, population genomics, cancer genomics, and single cell genomics.

Pay: ₹38,500/- to ₹1,25,000/- per month, based on qualifications and experience.

Minimum Qualifications:

For senior positions: PhD/M.Tech/M.E in Life Sciences/Computer Sciences/Related fields

For junior positions: M.Sc/B.Tech/B.E in Life Sciences/Computer Sciences/Related fields

Desirable Qualifications:

For senior positions: A demonstrable track record of successful implementation/execution of a project in any of the following fields:

Population Genomics, Clinical Genomics, Cancer Genomics, de novo Genome assembly, Metagenomics and microbial genomics, Statistical analysis of biological data particularly in the context of Genomics. Development of computational tools/algorithms/data visualization.

Experience in handling high performance computing environments, cloud computing services, server maintenance, general purpose GPU computing, AI/ML, and other hardware related proficiency will be considered favorably.

Track record must be proven either with high impact publications in SCI-indexed journals, or profiles of source code repositories such as github, or a certificate from the organization to which the candidate contributed earlier.

For junior positions: Good programming knowledge with proficiency in at least one language such as C, C++, R, Python, JS, or Perl, as demonstrated by publications or github profile or other code repositories. Should be well versed with Linux/bash/command line interface, and have the ability to create and modify custom pipelines for data analysis.

Experience with analysis of population level genomic data, clinical genomics, de novo genome assembly, cancer genomics, or metagenomics will be considered favorably

It does match the regex. "pti" is a substring in "exception"

Isn't that what GP is saying though? Cars and bikes are superior to running in the fact that they take you to the destination faster. But a person running everywhere will undoubtedly have better development of their leg muscles than a person driving around (assuming no other physical activity). So, at least in the context of leg muscle development, running is superior to cars and bikes.

Am I missing something? Admittedly I have not traveled much internationally, but I don't remember customs ever asking me to unlock my phone.. I have only traveled to and from Europe though. So maybe it's different in the US?

I'm sorry I couldn't understand from your comment, are you saying an electric is harder on your fingers as compared to an acoustic? If that's what you meant, I must disagree, and please read the full comment. Else, it's my misunderstanding of your comment, and I shall delete my reply.

Electric guitar's strings are far more easier on your fingers compared to a steel-stringed acoustic (not comparing classical guitars with nylon strings). Just about everything is easier to play on an electric, starting with barre chords to slides to bends.

Maybe one reason for more blistering fingers on an electric is because people are more likely to do stuff like slides and bends in solos whereas many people use an acoustic just for chords. But I assure you, if you attempt to do the same stuff on an acoustic, it's going to be far more taxing on your fingers.

Regarding your first question, I'm not from a tech related field, and most people around me generally use Google for recommendations. And Google always ranks famous tech blogs higher on the list. So.. I would say yes.

I'm not an expert, but as I understand, they don't actually use password fields on phishing pages. Instead they use normal text fields and fake password dots. So I'm not sure if they can be identified as login pages.

ETA: another parent comment talks about the same thing.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that the idea behind continuum in Windows 10?
