You'll need to give me a source for those numbers. My 1,300 square foot house has a 200 ampere main breaker, so I can't draw more than about 0.024 megawatts. It would therefore take more than two thousand similar-sized houses to draw 53 megawatts—and that's only at full power draw, which I never come remotely close to.

Also it's worth mentioning that timespans don't actually matter here: monthly usage and annual usage are the same number when dealing with watts. When a source says "average annual power consumption", they likely mean that the power measurement is averaged throughout the year and that hot/cold seasons are accounted for.

If you wanted to do math involving time, you would need to use watt-hours (or kWh, MWh, etc.), for which time is a factor. For example, if you drew a constant rate of 1 kilowatt for a full day, you would have 24 hours * 1 kilowatt = 24 kilowatt-hours.

Helix is my go-to terminal editor. While I would describe the controls as being Vim-like (:q to quit, i to insert), they refer to it as selection-based, similar to Kakoune.

For instance, in Vim, you can replace a word with c a w to "change all word".

In Helix, you would use b e c to extend the selection to the beginning of the word, extend the selection to the end, and then change everything within the selection.

It excels at multi-cursor editing and selecting things with regex, and I've heard they're finally getting plugin support.

Yes! My mistake for that implication. Automatically using LAN is what impressed me the most, but it transfers over networks and, because it relies on outbound HTTP connections, bypasses many firewalls.

I do not know if it uses NAT hole-punching, but it has always been relatively fast at transferring data considering that it's a free service.

I force all my homies to use magic-wormhole. It can transfer files and folders with no sign-up and (as far as I can tell) no limits.

For all you command-line nerds, including on Windows, it works like this:

> wormhole send <filename>

Sending 0 Bytes file named '<filename>'
Wormhole code is: 1-medusa-puppy
On the other computer, please run:

wormhole receive 1-medusa-puppy

This will ping the relay server, which defaults to Canonical on my system, as I recall, to generate a code so the two computers can locate each other.

Then on the other computer, (again including Windows,)

> wormhole receive 1-medusa-puppy

Waiting for sender...
Receiving file (0 Bytes) into: '<filename>'
ok? (Y/n): y

Receiving (->tcp:192.168.1.1:36587)..
0.00B [00:00, 4B/s]
Received file written to <filename>

Note that, as both computers were on the same LAN, it transferred locally because it's awesome that way.

Working as a TA in the computer science department, this is invaluable. Students from all skill levels can transfer stuff with no extra headache, and the generated codes can be spoken aloud for simplicity.

If only genetic sequences were so finite. And what happens when researchers are developing a new protein that never existed before? Protein folding is NP-hard—even if P=NP is solved, protein folding may still be a challenge. It is likely that there will always be a need for software like this, and that the software will need periodic updates as new sequence behaviors come to light.

That said, as another comment points out, Google is merely stepping back from the AlphaFold project, which will continue without their funding or oversight.
