As a person who focuses on biologically inspired algorithms I can say, without a doubt, cells absolutely are very complex computers, debatable if they are digital or analog, but they are certainly computers.

@OnNegation

@hikenwoodwork I will leave the door open for you :)

@sgul

I propose a new system where saturday and sunday are the only days of the week!

@trinsec

@trinsec I find it shocking that things like days of the week, calendars, and how we tell time is pretty much universal around the world in every modern society... I would half expect every country to have their own number of hours in a day and days in a week :) I know the chinese keep two calendars.

I get a new grill for my new home in on sunday! I am excited. My plan is to focus on a low-carb diet and just keep loads of chicken and a few steaks in the house and go to town!

@Baley You're welcome

@trinsec im not just talking about a 7 day week in general... but rather how far back sunday is sunday... like if you go back 2000 years was sunday really on a tuesday or some shit.

Of course im assuming the name changes with language a bit, so im talking about whatever name they called it that translates to tuesday.

@sgul it would be curious if it goes back to pre-recorded history

How far back in history do you have to go before the days of the week (monday, tuesday, etc) no longer line up... in other words, how long have we been consistently keeping track of days of the week as a society before it breaks down...

Shame on you! Jesus is watching!

@skanman I actually barely knew my dad... I just reflect on him with some degree of care.

@geantonicelli I've done a pretty good job for myself so far :) I think by the end of it all I will have lived up to the family name :) we shall see.

@OnNegation

Me: Its simple, let me just draw you a simple diagram and you will understand it....

@PhDMarie yea the amount of data in the breath is insane, especially once you start working with sensitive enough tools to pick it up. It is all because of the lungs, it has a huge surface area so the VOC in the blood are concentrated in the lungs. Combine that with a sensative system and you can pick up biomarkers that are in very low concentrations in the blood.

Our tools and tools like it (basically just a GCMS) can distinguish almost every chemical in your breath so its just a matter of learning to detect the patterns at that point.

@Baley Good morning! Hope you have a wonderful day at work.

@keyeoh I've done tons of little things here and there in haskell.. the problem with large projects is that there just arent enough good libraries outt there for it and finding developers for it isnt easy.... also doesnt help that it compiles to a native binary rather than run as a script (tthough we have java based haskell now)

@bonifartius im not an amazing haskell programmer so im not the one to ask.. learn you a haskell combined with cheat sheets/references are mostly tthe resource I use... even then i still need help with some of the more advanced stuff.
