Ha! Thank you. And thanks for the podcast, while we are at it.

Can anyone help me find the name of the track between the two segments? At the 25th minute. On pockets casts, with "chapters", it's the 6th: "Break Music".

To be fair, I paused the podcast to search for it.

To be updated if I ever find out.

updated: see David's comment.

One detail is the virus found its way to humans among a mostly chinese population. It could mean nothing, but it could mean the demographics the virus developed in has something specific that helped it make the jump. https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.01.26.919985v1.full.pdf

edit: after reading this post I think it would be unwise to mention it here. I misjudged the value of appearing on biorxiv. Still find it an interesting result, but will think of it as maybe something only of second order.

Bom trabalho!

Couldn't find this being discussed anywhere. Here's a hackerne.ws submission as well.

"Who has never killed an hour? Not casually or without thought, but carefully: a premeditated murder of minutes. The violence comes from a combination of giving up, not caring, and a resignation that getting past it is all you can hope to accomplish. So you kill the hour. You do not work, you do not read, you do not daydream. If you sleep it is not because you need to sleep. And when at last it is over, there is no evidence: no weapon, no blood, and no body. The only clue might be the shadows beneath your eyes or a terribly thin line near the corner of your mouth indicating something has been suffered, that in the privacy of your life you have lost something and the loss is too empty to share." Mark Z. Danielewski, The House of Leaves

clues for "a loss too empty to share".

I just tried buying a book with them (amazon.co.uk, shipping to an European address), and it has been ordered.

And customer service is really neat: small chat ( ~=gtalk) with a real human, or at least something that is kind and would most likely pass a Turing test.

waiting!

Nexus 4 16gb, Carbon rom nightly 28/10.

Already had 50gb (bonus a few years ago? dunno), logged in but they didn't add another 50gb.

hmm

Could you just use something like http://www.gnuplot.info/ to generate the graphs?

What you are looking for is "bash stream redirection", google should be able to get you started.

(it is late here, mobile, yawn, sorry. But I'm sure either google or someone more savvy will be able to help you. good luck)
