We intersect <2013 DNS Census virtual host cleanup> with <2013 DNS census MX records> and that leaves 460k hits. We did lose a third on the the MX records as of 260 hits since secureserver.net is only used in 1/3 of sites, but we also concentrate 9x, so it may be worth it.

Then we <Wayback Machine CDX scanning>. it takes about 5 days, but it is manageale.

We did a full <Wayback Machine CDX scanning> for JAR, SWF and cgi-bin in those, but only found a single new hit:
* 63.130.160.50 theglobalheadlines.com. Just barely missed with our <2013 DNS Census virtual host cleanup heuristic keyword searches> as we did think of both "global" and "headlines" in the "news" themes!

Once upon a time, this must have been a nice covered market.

But as of 2020, it is completely surrounded by extremely poor people, to the point that it makes you scared if you stand out in any way by showing any kind of middle/upper class wealth, or being a foreigner.

The market is basically a touristic spot that no person in Sao Paulo will ever go to (unless they are young, single, and can just walk in there by themselves) in the middle of this surreal environment.

In 2020 Ciro was there with <Ciro Santilli's wife>[his wife] on a touristic visit. Living in <Europe> at the time, he felt even more privileged. So they went to a fruit stand, and the man started giving his wife amazing free samples of very exotic fruit, some of which Ciro had never tasted himself, without saying the price. It did feel like he was giving out too much for free. Then Ciro decided of course to buy some more fruits to pay for the show, which was a nice show. Then while buying, it came out a bit more expensive than would have been reasonable, but Ciro was too dazzled by the speed and noises, and he paid for it. Later on, he told his wife about it, and how he felt that they had added some ultra-expensive bulk fruits that were of a clearly lower level than the gold nuggets of the free samples (especially for Brazil's cost standards). The presenter was an extremely crafty con artist, and Ciro felt like they had specifically preyed on <Ciro Santilli's self perceived compassionate personality>, because it was apparent that those men were underprivileged and fighting for their living day by day with those over-expensive fruits. This was an extremely valuable lesson, Ciro was glad that it was learnt at a relatively low cost on that occasion.

https://github.com/CovertLab/WholeCellEcoliRelease is a <whole cell simulation> model created by <Covert Lab> and other collaborators.

The project is written in <Python>, hurray! But according to te <README>, it seems to be the use a <code drop> model with on-request access to master, very <meh>, asked https://github.com/CovertLab/WholeCellEcoliRelease/discussions/23[rationale on GitHub discussion], and they confirmed as expected that it is to:
* to prevent their <academic publishing>[publication] ideas from being stolen. Who would steal publication ideas with public proof in an issue tracker without crediting original authors?
* to prevent noise from non collaborators. They do only get like 2 issues as year though, people forget that it is legal to ignore other people :-)
Oh well.

The project is a followup to the earlier <M. genitalium whole cell model by Covert lab> which modelled <Mycoplasma genitalium>. <E. Coli> has 8x more genes (500 vs 4k), but it the undisputed <bacterial> <model organism> and as such has been studied much more thoroughly. It also reproduces faster than Mycoplasma (20 minutes vs a few hours), which is a huge advantages for validation/exploratory <experiments>.

The project has a partial dependency on the <proprietary software>[proprietary] <optimization software> <CPLEX> which is <freeware>, for students, not sure what it is used for exactly, from the comment in the `requirements.txt` the dependency is only partial.

This project makes <Ciro Santilli> think of the <E. Coli> as an <optimization problem>. Given such external nutrient/temperature condition, which <DNA> sequence makes the cell grow the fastest? Balancing <metabolites> feels like designing a <Factorio> speedrun.

Everything in this section refers to version https://github.com/CovertLab/WholeCellEcoliRelease/tree/7e4cc9e57de76752df0f4e32eca95fb653ea64e4[7e4cc9e57de76752df0f4e32eca95fb653ea64e4], the code drop from November 2020, and was tested on <Ubuntu> 21.04 with a docker install of `docker.pkg.github.com/covertlab/wholecellecolirelease/wcm-full` with image id 502c3e604265, unless otherwise noted.

<God>, it's impossible! You just have to convert the entire fucking call stack all the way up to async functions. It could mean refactoring hundreds of functions.

To be fair, there is a logic to this, if you put yourself within the crappiness of the <JavaScript> threading model. And <Python> is not that much better with its <Global Interpreter Lock>.

The problem is that async was introduced relatively late, previously we just had to use infinitely deep callback <tree (data structure)>[trees], which was worse:
``
myAsync().then(ret => myAsync2(ret).then(ret2 => myAsync3(re3)))
``
compared to the new infinitely more readable:
``
ret = await myAsync()
ret2 = await myAsync2(ret)
ret3 = await myAsync3(ret3)
``
But now we are in an endless period of transition between both worlds.

It is also worth mentioning that callbacks are still inescapable if you really want to fan out into a non-linear dependency graph, usually with `Promise.all`:
``
await Promise.all([
  myAsync(1).then(ret => myAsync2(ret)),
  myAsync(2).then(ret => myAsync2(ret)),
])
``

* https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6921895/synchronous-delay-in-code-execution

And then, after many many hours of this work, you might notice that the new code is way, way way slower than before, because making small functions `async` has a large performance impact: https://madelinemiller.dev/blog/javascript-promise-overhead/[]. Real world case with a 4x slowdown: https://github.com/ourbigbook/ourbigbook/tree/async-slow[].

Anyways, since you Googled here, you might as well learn the standard pattern to convert callbacks functions into async functions using a promise: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4708787/get-password-from-input-using-node-js/71868483\#71868483

Amazing talk by <Richard Feynman> that describes his experiences at <Los Alamos National Laboratory> while developing the first <nuclear weapons>.

Transcript: http://calteches.library.caltech.edu/34/3/FeynmanLosAlamos.htm Also included full text into <Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman>.

* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uY-u1qyRM5w&t=2881s describes the computing aspects. Particularly interesting is the quote about how they used the typist secretary pool to <emulate> the <IBM> machines and debug their programs before the machines had arrived. This is exactly analogous to what is done in 2020 in the <semiconductor> industry, where slower models are used to estimate how future algorithms will run in future hardware.

It is rare to find a project with such a ridiculously high importance over funding ratio.

E.g., as of 2020, their help login https://help.openstreetmap.org/ shows MyOpenID as an option, which was discontinued in 2014, and not <Google> <OAuth>.

They do still seem to have a bit more activity than https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/openstreetmap on <Stack Exchange>.

Complaints:
* <Transliteration> is off by default!...... https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Translation You just have to learn all scripts ever. Good luck with the <Chinese characters>. Genius.
* In order to see information about places, you have to click "Query features" on the toolbar first. Who made such a terrible UI? Direct click is a much, and so easy to implement?
* It is impossible to discern different types of paths and other walking path symbols, the symbols are too small, and just scale down to a line no matter how much you zoom in.
* Power lines are way too visible. While that is kind of cool, it is useless and distracting to most people most of the time.
* No street-level imagery...: https://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/1178/adding-photos
* No aerial imagery: https://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/6849/how-can-i-see-the-aerial-imagery-without-editing-the-map But that is kind of understandable, as that one might not be free.
* No restaurant ratings: https://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/64852/ratings-for-pois because it is "Subjective". OMG those people, such a huge value powerhouse wasted.

  Not just for restaurants, but for other things as well, e.g. sharing of good cycle circuits.

All of this is a shame, because they do have some incredible data that you cannot find easily on other maps because people just edited it up.
