Is it comparable with exdupe?
Comment · 5 years ago
It changed for me with my first daughter too.
Before that, crying/arguing kids (of e.g. friends) always gave me headaches and i never knew what to talk with them or how to interact.
Also when my wife told me she was pregnent, all i felt was 'Ok, now the ... starts' - i did not enjoy the news.
But in hospital, when my daughter was born and i sat in a chair holding here sleeping on my arms for the first time - it changed 180°. I constantly had a smile on my face and felt warmth and the need to protect here.
I also enjoy beeing around other peoples kids now and i am more open to "little jokes" to make them smile.
So it seemed to be a biological barrier for me, which i needed to be taken over by my daughter to switche to "parent-mode".
It is also quite funny to see the faces of colleagues (without kids) and how they react to kids-stories. It was the same for me before i had my own.

Hetzners dedicated CPU Price is only ~2x and not 8x.
You need to compare the correct hardware. CX31 with CCX11. Both 2vCPU, 8GigRam, 80Gig NVMe Flash and 20TB Traffic.
CX31 for 10.59€ and CCX11 for 23.68€
They are cheap and good.

TLDR: 10 Minute Cancer test
https://www.natureasia.com/en/research/highlight/12801
"Cancer: Detecting the presence of cancer cells Nature Communications
December 5, 2018 A test to detect cancerous cells, which can be performed in ten minutes, is presented in Nature Communications this week. The assay exploits the differences between the DNA in cancerous and healthy cells to allow for a quick, initial diagnosis.
The attachment of methyl groups to DNA (in a process called methylation) is genetically programmed. In all ‘mature’ human cells, DNA carries these modifications. The genomic information in cancer cells is significantly different from healthy cells, resulting in a different methylation level and pattern in most types of cancer cells.
Matt Trau and colleagues found that the different methylation landscape in cancer cells affects the physical and chemical properties of DNA. Amongst other features, it binds more strongly to gold nanoparticles and the authors used this behaviour to develop a test to detect cancer. The assay requires a tiny amount of purified genomic DNA from a patient and takes about ten minutes. The outcome of the test can be assessed with the naked eye. They tested their approach on over 100 human samples (genomic DNA from patients with cancer (72) and healthy individuals (31)) representing various cancer types.
At this stage, the assay can only detect the presence of cancer cells, not their type or the stage of the disease. Moving forward, the approach needs further testing with more samples and - possibly - refinement to allow for a more detailed analysis."

My first and only hacks were at the age of 12 where i "patched" the copy protection keywords from the first XWing in 1993 [0].
I only knew 1 password and searched for it in a hex editor. I found it and recognized a pattern with similar words.
Replacing them with the Ascii Space resulted in "press return to pass" password checks :D Damn i was proud.
At the same age, i rewrote the Story Text of "The Adventures of Robin Hood" (1991)[1] via hex and "Try and Errored" all Ascii combinations to develop my own Ascii chart. You can imagine what a 12 year old rewrote a love story to... my older brother was quite happy :D
I later tried to patch Dune2 Level files to create my own but did not understand a thing.
Now i write medical software and sometimes feel the same ;)

Does someone know of an existing visualization of this algorithm, for better understanding?

How much Vitamin D did you take? Did you measure/calc the amount per kg?

Someone is doing that at the moment

Maybe someone takes the recursive file to a new level and creates one that generates to n new identical files.
So decompress to a tree.

Google should use this data as an overlay for google maps :)
I would love to watch that data on that way.
Any google employees reading this? ;)
For everyone having the chance to play with it: do it :)
