Nature has a more detailed article https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-024-00383-3?s=08 describing why they chose petunias, and propagation via cuttings.

Data from https://125.nypl.org/125/topcheckouts which mentions other factors, such as shorter books having higher turnover.

It seems that that work didn't make much impact because it sat as a tech report and wasn't published until 1987, by which time Perlman had published her algorithm that received more exposure in SIGCOMM in 1985.

Never heard of since it was last discussed on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17436591

This could be useful for design problems if they were cataloged or tagged, e.g. identifying input as rotary or rectilinear, and type of output.

Radia Perlman's books ("Interconnections" about switches/routers and "Network Security") are great at explaining why with a sense of humour.

Thanks

Could you please name some? There seems to be an even bigger bunch of apps that do plain drawing, and it can be hard to find the needle (apps that convert rough sketches to clean line art) in the haystack (many apps for sketching; most just replicating the paper experience on a screen without adding functionality). Thanks.

Why is it that so many people (such as this author) use participation rates as an indicator of equity? I understand gender equity to refer to equal TREATMENT of different genders, which is quite different from having equal NUMBERS of both genders in the workplace. Some differences in participation rates MAY be due to gender inequity, but some may also be due to other factors such as innate differences between genders (a crude example: perceptions about the meaning of prerequisites as mentioned in the article).

The first proposed "solution" merely promotes participation rates as a measure of gender equity, and the 2nd proposal "Provide female entrepreneurs with..." just adds another form of inequity. Only the 4th proposal seems truly gender neutral and constructive.

"doesn't require complete concentration" is key. Many people new to watching cricket expect continuous stimulation, which it is not. It is more a meditative repetitive cycle of spaced intense activity. And it's amazing how many jobs you can get done in 30second ad breaks between overs.

People who compare cricket to baseball ("baseball on valium" as Robin Williams said) generally miss the variety that is made possible by bouncing the ball off the pitch, which greatly enriches the sport.

Domain-Specific Languages, not Digital Subscriber Line

TLDR, anyone?

Traditionally the smarts that determine how the network is used (e.g. optimising routes) were provided by the network devices, bundling hardware and software. SDN allows the control to be separated from the hardware, rendering the hardware a basic commodity. Cisco traditionally sold devices/hardware, and would struggle to compete with commodity hardware. Cisco are trying to respond by strengthening their software.

I'd be keen to see your outline.

Old enough to know that this has been asked before: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2322031 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=517039 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=126923

You missed the beginning of the sentence: "the next one" = "it", not Google reader

Even more general: Some way of tagging HN articles to identify their subject (e.g. geography, programming language, etc) and then allowing readers to express their interests and so rank articles according to personal interests rather than just voting by the masses.

Why require that preferences be stored on the local server, rather than the wireless client?

TCP (or UDP) checksums only cover the packet when it is in transit & don't protect the information when it is stored in a device such as a DNS server.

Non-software products are quite complicated once you look beneath the surface, e.g. even a cheap toaster has 400 parts http://www.ted.com/talks/thomas_thwaites_how_i_built_a_toast... . Sure, the number of distinct parts would be lower (perhaps 100), they tend to involve more mature technology for which any patents might have now expired, and the toaster manufacturer probably buys many of the parts rather than manufacturing them themselves, but I would think that the odds of an advanced hardware product accidentally hitting a patent are significantly more than nil.

Essence:

"Many dyslexics have problems with 'crowding', where they're distracted by the words surrounding the word they're trying to read," says John Stein, Professor of Neuroscience at Oxford University and chair of the Dyslexia Research Trust. "When reading text on a small phone, you're reducing the crowding effect" (Hill, 2010).

Craigslist.

Could you also do the opposite: Take bulky feeds (e.g. http://feeds.feedburner.com/tedblog) and truncate them; showing title & first para & include a link? I use RSS primarily to scan what is available and mark some for later reading, and bulky feeds interrupt the scanning process.

I'm surprised I can't yet find a service that rates the reading level of books so as to guide selection by early readers (typically children, but also learners of foreign languages). Amazon? Startup?
