Blimey, that's an address I haven't seen in a long time. Happy times downloading Amiga shareware from a university computer lab.

And now I feel old...


Try this from Fermilab's Dr Don Lincoln: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Zspu7ziA8Y


I did, and enjoyed it as a good pop-sci outreach video, and do not fault it given that's what it is. The lim v->c analysis is standard and well-presented, but his conclusion about photons' time is liable to confuse people (including other physicists who aren't relativists). I refer you to my comment elsewhere in this thread <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36537015> which has a paragraph about this video (your link having partially motivated my comment), and which explains that it is common for relativists to use affine time for massless particles.


Next stop, Arisia!


Yep, after years of being a couch- and desk-potato, this got me out and running. That, and having a young and energetic dog in the early stages of lock-down!

I've managed to stick to 5-10km every other day (though it's a challenge in the winter, admittedly), and did my first half marathon in 2:09 a couple of months ago.


Astrophysicist YouTuber Dr Becky covered this last month: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNJR3lenz1I


Yeah, I've seen "Vitamin D enriched" mushrooms at the Coop supermarket in the UK.


As the old saying goes, "normalize until it hurts; denormalize until it works".


So pretty much the Blazor Server approach in the Dot Net world then?


Blazor Server and Blazor WebAssembly needs to be marketed separately. Most people have heard about Blazor WebAssembly but are unaware that LiveView-style web development is possible in the .Net world using Blazor Server.


Yes, yes they do. I don't know why you'd name pretty much the exact opposite techs the exact same thing.


I don't use Blazor, however when I went to get basic info about it every article I have read were very clear that there's 2 ways to dev a Blazor app.


It's also not unlike JSF in the Java world, which went out of fashion 10 or so years ago, and for good reason: relying on a framework to paper over the distinction between client and server side turned out to be much more complicated and fragile than a cleanly defined separation. I haven't seen any authors or users of these recently developed server-side-first frameworks discuss this prior art, but I'd be interested to see if they've come up with a way around what seemed like a fundamental problem in the approach.


As former JSF framework tech lead built on top of Richfaces, the major problem with JSF was its lifecycle model and the fact that Sun et al only defined the basic infrastructure and lead to a forest of frameworks that could hardly interoperate among themselves.

To the point that on my follow up project I ended up recomending for JSP with tag libraries instead, regardless of Sun advising them as deprecated and replaced by JSF.

WebForms never felt as complex as JSF.

I feel JSP like models with component libraries, or MVC are more closer approaches to the whole Web programming model.


Yes, basically. Fun fact: Blazor and LiveView were developed independently, around the same time as each other! Just two similar implementations in disparate communities.


Guess that was due to browser-land innovations that made this a possibility.


As the article says

> The details of how AlphaFold 2 works are still unknown, and we may not have full access to them until their paper is peer-reviewed (which may take more than a year, based on their CASP13 paper).

So it's not particularly surprising that we haven't heard much yet.


Yeah, it's practically archaeology now! It is very fast for doing some things, though.

If anyone's interested in it from a Dot Net perspective, ExcelDNA [0] was excellent when I used it a few years ago.
