   As someone currently doing a PhD, I can assure you weekends don't exist.

   I had BioPython, BioRuby, BioPerl and BioJava on the list - hadn't thought of BioGo! Thanks.

   I mined about 50k doges for fun, and now I'm looking forward to having more fun playing with it :)

   That is a problem for a large number of biologists who are working with bioinformatics, not for computational biologists, who tend to be computer scientists working in biology. I'll admit there are a good number of crap computational b

   Just yesterday I decided to start seriously developing in Julia. High-level languages are a bottleneck for computational biology. We need to be able to write things fast, and have them run fast. So far no language really does this. But Juli

   Any good resources for getting started with day trading?

   It's still not at all clear to me what it is, and why I would want to sign up. Even after reading the site.

   I learned most of my git-fu from Sourcetree. It exposes a lot of the little-used git functionality.

   I've eaten it for about six years. The basic ingredient has no flavour, but is very good at taking on flavours in a dish. Mostly it's sold pre-flavoured in some way (like chicken-style, beef-style, etc.) and these tend to be prett

    This has already been done, and is contained in the USDA nutrient database ( http://ndb.nal.usda.gov/ ), among others.

    To be pedantic, Quorn is not synthetic. It's made by intensive farming of fungi, not by pure abiotic chemical synthesis. But I agree with all your points :)

    It's a Javascript version of artist mode in emacs - you can draw diagrams using ascii-art like you would in a vector design program.

    A nice application for the FM-index: it has massively accelerated alignment of short DNA sequences against large databases.

    Very cool, Hubble images always give me goosebumps. It would be really nice if you linked to http://galaxyzoo.org or http://zooniverse.org where people can help classify these galaxies.

    Personally, I wanted a co-founder who could help me launch as fast as possible. I have the technical ability to create on my own, and I know a huge number of people who I could have asked. But in this case I wanted someone who really want

    First of all, I'm very interested in this. Secondly, that was a very well-designed capture. You got me to give up my email, log in with GitHub, tell you how much I would pay, and then you gave me nothing. Houdini indeed! Kudos. Now I&#

    An alternative source of the transactions is dust (people sending tiny transactions as a way to increase the size of the blockchain - an attack on the currency). See http://www.reddit.com/r/dogecoin/comments/1

    I think the transaction volume comes partly from Reddit tipping with tipbots (a beautiful aspect of the modern age). But it's probably more from from the fact that some people are attacking the currency by sending massive volumes of mi

    nice... it looks quite pretty, but would be much prettier (but very similar) in Ruby :P

    Yes, I know quite a few. In computational genomics in the south-east UK there's us (University of Cambridge Plant Sciences), Queen Mary University (Yannick Wurm's group), and The Sainsbury Lab at the John Innes Centre in Norwich (

    So you got experience of a really bad public speaking situation - the audience doesn't care enough to come!

    Yeah I agree the programmers whose code I'm reading are likely skewing the sample. But, as anecdata, when I moved to my current lab I requested that we not code in perl because people were writing unreadable, unmaintainable code. When

    What position? The position I see it in is a legacy language that used to run the internet and was the first language that really worked for bioinformatics. Is it different outside science?

    Beta-blockers and alcohol are a shim, they don't help you get better at it. It's scary, but you can use the adrenalin if you let yourself. Yesterday I gave a talk - the first one I've ever given that wasn't a research ta

    It's not mean, it's an observation and a question, and it's relevant to the article.

    OK, I'll bite. Why the hell would anyone want to go back to Perl? That is one disgusting mashup of a language. I'm horrified by it daily when I have to use scripts written by older bioinformaticians. The best benefits I'v
