Oh, I'm certain that if we were less societally squeamish we could be building artificial gametes with current biomedical technology so long as at least 1 partner has a y chromosome (can't make artificial sperm with current tech without one, which sucks for biologically lesbian couples. For them we'd need to take a different route).
Papers have been published, but the nerds are mostly interested because it'd allow generational research without generations of time passing... Assuming the we were a less squeamish civilization.
-
Doesn't the Y chromosome only have one gene on it? Couldn't we use all the other chromosomes and then just insert someone else's Y chromosome?
-
Doesn't the Y chromosome only have one gene on it?
The Y chromosome spans more than 59 million building blocks of DNA (base pairs) and represents almost 2 percent of the total DNA in cells.
Identifying genes on each chromosome is an active area of genetic research. Because researchers use different approaches to predict the number of genes on each chromosome, the estimated number of genes varies. The Y chromosome likely contains 50 to 60 genes that provide instructions for making proteins.

STATUS:
Trying to make one of these super-integrated MVC/ORM solutions (Doctrine + Symfony forms) to manage my One-To-Many collection. My entities kept getting thrashed randomly.
Finally dug into the code. Turns out, what they do is this:
- Load form elements as an array from the browser side (eg.
name="form[comments][0][title]"
) - Load lookup entries into an array on the DAL side (eg.
SELECT * FROM comments WHERE post_id = ?
) - MERGE THESE TWO ARRAYS TOGETHER BASED ON INDEXES
Eg. index 1 on one side is merged with entity at index 1 on the other. Missing an index? Entity gets deleted.
If your indexes differ, or you have some kind of conditions when you fill in the form (eg.
WHERE deleted_at IS NULL
), GOOD LUCK.Hey assholes, ever heard of, oh I don't know, FUCKING PRIMARY KEYS!?
Looks like I'll have to go down and dirty with this one.
THANKS FOR NOTHING, KITCHEN SINK SOLUTION!

Status: “Just because your project proposal only works financially if we can deliver you the moon on a stick for a shoestring budget and we want to like you doesn't mean that we're going to be automatically on-board with screwing ourselves in the ass over it. Do you want to start thinking in terms of a sensible scope and budget or shall we get upset with you some more?”
Oh how I wish we would actually come right out and say that.

Status: My son's daycare is in a community center that has a gym. Parking for the first 2-3 weeks of the year always sucks because of resolutionists. But, it always reminds me of my favorite quote by Mark Twain:
"New Year's Day--Now is the accepted time to make your regular annual good resolutions. Next week you can begin paving hell with them as usual. Yesterday, everybody smoked his last cigar, took his last drink, and swore his last oath. Today, we are a pious and exemplary community. Thirty days from now, we shall have cast our reformation to the winds and gone to cutting our ancient shortcomings considerably shorter than ever. We shall also reflect pleasantly upon how we did the same old thing last year about this time. However, go in, community. New Year's is a harmless annual institution, of no particular use to anybody save as a scapegoat for promiscuous drunks, and friendly calls, and humbug resolutions, and we wish you to enjoy it with a looseness suited to the greatness of the occasion."

Status: Customer downloaded beta software update and then bitched because a few things are broken and fit and polish on things like reports is missing. So now I get to explain what "beta" means , and also that the reports are broken because the vendor that supplies the pre-printed forms has failed--for over two months--to send me sample stock so I can make sure the report aligns with the form.

Retroactive status: Coworker calls me while I'm at the ER fussing because a second coworker is trying to TeamViewer a client's desktop, and "she needs the system administrator password because it [no definition of what "it" is was provided to me] needs to update. So I gave her an administrator password, which I'm now going to have to have corporate IT reset, but that supposedly wasn't it, and nor was the admin password for the client's desktop, nor for the application she was trying to log in to use to set up. Later I got an email with a screenshot that indicated TeamViewer wanted to upgrade so I have no idea why the credentials I gave her didn't work.
PS: ER situation resolved with waiting for a pill's effect to wear off. Apparently this is one of those times when cardiac meds suddenly and mysteriously either stop working or become super-effective[1]. Pro tip: when your kid calls you and tells you your wife's heart rate is 38 and he's called 911, it's not going to be a fun afternoon.
[1] WTF is that? Tylenol doesn't suddenly stop working or become triple-strength and either way you need to take Ibuprofen from now on, why do cardiac meds do this?

Those are called side-effects. And yes, pain meds can do similar nasty stuff - for instance, they can cause pain if you take them long enough.

Naw, its a complex bugger. Duplicates a lot of the important stuff on x (otherwise males couldn't inherit much from their fathers), plus some other dude specific tweaks.
Conceptually I can see two routes:
1 involves taking existing donor sperm and yoinking out the payload before transferring the chromosomal payload from an ovum, thereby yielding the elusive ladysperm2 is way less practical and involves making a hybrid with a donor y chromosome and one of the target x chromosomes and using that to derive artificial gametes and then somehow removing all the ones carrying a y (lest 50% of the resultant IVF zygotes be donor dude's genetic progeny)
Fun ethical stuff here. Female pairings like this can literally only produce female offspring.

And for another example:
Ibuprofen
causes an ulcer.Every time you take it.
Usually it's a small enough one that it just feels like a bit of nausea.

Status: The Synology DS3615 is just merrily refusing to be set up. It's talking to the net, somewhat, but won't actually give me a full UI in order to configure anything; going to
http://$THEIPADDRESS:5000/
gives me a page with a spinner and then it hangs for 30 seconds before saying “Connection failed. Please check your network settings.”. And the fucker is over in another building where the wireless network is shit (and my laptop isn't registered on the wired network over there) so I don't want to have to go over there and babysit the stupid thing.So… networking actually working (or I wouldn't get the page at all). Shitty software LYING to me. And searching the internet is fucking useless because it's all swamped with chuckleheads. (I know that I have to configure the thing for a number of key things to happen, such as getting OS updates installed, because I've had to do the same thing on a number of other machines on the same network.)

Thousands of people have tuned in to watch a Periscope of a giant puddle in Newcastle at Drummond Central.
The hashtag #DrummondCentral even trended on Twitter as people took to the platform to comment on the small, shallow body of water.
It could be because we are all bored back at work after Christmas, but it has captured the attention of many people on the internet.
We are watching normal people undertake a very common English activity - trying to cross a puddle without getting their feet wet.

It keeps your coffee warm by running Ember.js on the mug? Sounds easy.

Wll. If you put it that way, I can just leave my cofee mug on top of my phone while running discourse on it. The only added benefit this mug has is that it keeps the beverage at a constant temperature (presumably less than 100 degrees Celcius, before you start nitpicking).
