Well, it is technically possible to scan vinyl records: cs.huji.ac.il/~springer/DigitalNeedle/index.html — with appropriate optical equipment something similar might be possible with CDs (after all, that’s how they’re read anyway).
Does anyone know whether PCR CT values need to be integers or not? The report I'm looking at says 33.51. But since the CT value is a cycle, shouldn't it be an integer? Searches aren't finding anything useful.
One possibility, of course, is that that number represents an average of some kind. But if so, that suggests a lot of work is being done, which seems unlikely for a single patient.
The OP states "I need to extract some values from a file in bash", that's what prompted the question. I assume they don't actually mean bash but "command line".
@terdon Ah, ok. I did not see that text in the question. There was a bash tag that I removed as you posted your comment. I thought you referred to that.
To be clear I wouldn't bat an eye if we were exterminated by one automated system or the other. But specifically "invasion of the body snatchers: cyberpunk edition" seems like a stretch
@FaheemMitha look at nitrosync if it's still around. The author used to be very active on SE and is a very nice guy and I remember testing it for him and being very impressed by the simplicity.
Yeah, looking at the git repo, it seems he hasn't touched it in three years.
What kind of files do you want to transfer? I admit this happens very, very rarely to me so when I need it I usually just email whatever it is to myself. For larger things, I use scp or copy over adb
@terdon You mean plug my phone into USB? I used to do that. The interface that I was using, which just exposed my phone as a mass storage device, went away and was replaced by something harder to use. The name now escapes me.
I'd also prefer not to plug in stuff if I don't have to.
The last time I checked, which was a while back, that wasn't happening any longer. Unless things have changed again.
The existing packaging would probably work, if I wanted to try it. But Python 2 is going away quite soon, at least in Debian. So I'm not sure if it is worth it.
the protocol it uses is weird (mtp?), so I can only easily access files via nautilus (ugh, mouse), but it "works"
I depends on the phone too. My older samsung phones gave such a popup, but more recently there's a default which you can change with the notification, as Stephen said. If one moves their gaze from the navel to the devices at hand it is surely something that can be figured out with ease.
