Cool I work in spatial transcriptomics, it's still early days but not too far off we're going to get great resolution and great capture. Especially for the brain, and maybe even tumor micro-environments it could be really cool

I mean you're right, I coded it quick in bash. The actual `grep` is of course bulletproof but I don't have a bulletproof notification system. If I was on a local unix machine I'd use `mail` but I mostly check gmail. I can use

I think I'll start using it but I'd like self hosting only because I want to set it and forget it for years potentially, and I don't want to have to check to make sure it's still working

Oooh I think this is great Another one, as an example, check the FDA food and drug alerts for medicine you take. I guess the pharmacy should email you but who knows, it's just filtering an xml for a set of regex. I built a cheap exampl

I think the dropbox sync is pretty good. I self host and I know the keepass db is encrypted but I don't want to worry that my self-hosting is always immediately up to date. And I trust dropbox well enough, I think I also don't lo

Speaking of literate-calc mode is AMAZING for these sorts of things. It lets you use emacs-calc in a notebook, so you get units, unit conversions, solving. It's great for quick calculations and units make sure you know immediately if

Yes! Thanks that's exactly what I was hoping for. Sadly I'm not in nyc so I can't use it but that makes sense to me

I know this is overly optimistic but I've been inspired reading about maid cooperatives in NYC https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/2020/07/07/opin... What if there was a driver co

good memories :-) I started programing with google apps script. I think it's a great starting point for students because it's totally free, abstracts over the coplications of oauth (for small things I still prefer it because it&#x

I also have a lot of issues with versioning data. But look at git annex - it's free, self hosted and has a very easy underlying data structure [1]. So I don't even use the magic commands it has for remote data mounting/multi-

what geopolitical and science do you read/follow? I can find pretty alright science (either very high level or just papers at some point, some industry niche websites strike a better balance), but not that many geopolitical sites I fee

wow this is a great article, so readable

I work at the broad institute and it's a pretty cool place, can be long hours but they're investing heavily in software and the like. Can be a nice intermediate between research and applications

What about backblaze b2 with rclone, I'm sure there's a front end somewhere and with the clousflare cdn it's no egress cost. Or clousflares storage amounts

I guess I agree on principle and diet is understated. But let's say, as has happened recently, you're looking at Alzheimer's or lewey body syndrome and you find the gwas returns a lot of results for a certain cellular pathway

If you're interested and a US citizen, look into the All of Us program by NIH. They're going to sequence a million people's genome (!!) and allow researchers to use it. And they're doing it in a very careful safe way. It

The thing is it's not much data in absolute terms, but it's not going to change for over human timescales and tells you something about your entire family, going back generations in the past and many in the future. On the other h

Also for anyone who likes weird scifi, read Cory Doctorow's Rapture of the nerds, it has an amazing audiobook and is just fun and clever

I agree, I don't think diamond age gets enough interest. It's one of my favorite books and the ending is unsatisfying but at least upbeat. Seveneves is also tons of fun. And if you know anyone who likes history, his older Baroque

I live in a similar place and I'm with you. I knew it was inflation but I almost started to believe I just started eating out more or something. But it's a very noticeable jump

Cool that phone is a nice find. I also find having a separate audiobook phone nice (smaller, better battery life,no notifications when I'm 'reading'). But I went for the Samsung Galaxy S3 mini. It's really underpowered b

I'm a really heavy overdrive user, and I wouldn't trust the waiting time. Join multiple libraries as well - the limiting factor is if the library has bought the book not the waiting time. Their prediction algorithm seems to assume

I also feel like it gets to a roundaboutway of 'proving' things people already know. More sleep is nicer, unless it's so long it's bc you're sick. Drinking more means more dancing. Days when you sit all day working

If you own the server, it might be easier to set up a little smtp client. Or to be more security conscious, a incoming only smtp client like https://github.com/0xERR0R/mailcatcher/ and collapse that dataflow. But

One thing I've thought of is that on android, it's not so hard to get app usage in a custom app, as a proxy for being on the phone. So it could check if you've been on your phone for 15+ minutes and then ping you only then. I

I think bots are a great way of automating your life in fun ways. It's also my new favorite project to suggest to people starting to program, because just a little bit of customizability goes a long way Tracking mood is great. A simple

How do you deal with the downtime. I also find myself constantly resizing instances (although for data analysis where I sometimes need 80+ cores only for a few hours), and the constant restarting and reloading drives me crazy Maybe for sqli

Where did you get that number, out of curiosity. Google's cloud storage is 2 cents per gb per month and backblaze b2 is $0.005 p/ gb per month. I understand in perpetuity is more expensive but why does it cap out as opposed to bei
