I mainly use vi for working remotely on a server. It's just easier than using X or something. But I use sublime or some other graphical editor when I am on my own computer.

update to my original post I am coming from a genomics background, so when I read about sliding window on time series data, I think about sliding window approach on regions of genome sequences. The ultimate point of doing this clusterin

So the heart of the problem, from what I can gather, is the sliding window approach to generating subsequences. This approach necessarily generates "redundantly similar" windows, ie. windows will be most similar to their closest n

Nice. Do they have any details on how the resizing works? Is it automatic as I generate more files? Or will I have to explicitly provision more space as I generate the files?

I think the importance or practical impact of a profession is a whole another issue I'd rather not get into. I take your point that there is a hint of entitlement to anyone complaining about a job that, comparatively, is better off tha

Yes, I agree with you that the reality of current academia makes it more rational to enter a phd program with no expectations of a stable/decently-paid career. But that's kinda ridiculous. That to do research science, we are expec

Good point. I do use react and I find jsx to be very convenient. I guess the question is: would I want to write something similar to JSX and have the browser be able to interpret that natively. I honestly don't know.

I think we should keep HTML simple and enforce a strict separation between template and logic. However, I do like the idea of adding a native "model" attribute to the DOM element that can automatically get/parse json and upda

The interface looks nice. How do you get data into the platform? The field I work in (genomics) usually uses a bunch of flat text/binary files instead of databases. How would this platform interface with that kind of data?

Cool. I saw this the other day when you posted it at BioStar (I am Damian Kao at BioStar). Next step is to establish some alignment metrics (some kind of p-value).

Playing devil's advocate here. How much change in the design would people think it is not a rip-off? If they changed the color scheme? If they changed the font? The type of visualization shown seems pretty standard (looks like a treema

I attended a conference couple years ago where Oxford Nanopore gave a talk about their sequencing technology. Their sequencing machine is now available for select labs that applied for their early access program. While there are still a lot

Doesn't this perhaps show selection based on language? People who speaks similar languages are more likely to interact and reproduce, eventually narrowing the gene pool.

Is this a case of right tools for the right job? Are there special cases where immutability is superior?

I wonder how they are handling persistent storage and multi-threading if at all.

Try not to say "I am not X". I find that when I start thinking: "I will get better at X", it motivates me a lot more. I think when I say "I am not X" I unconsciously blame it on my nature and see it as somethin

I work with genomics data. The data is more complex than big.

Interestingly, there are evidence of non-cannonical functions of telomerases involved in wnt/myc signaling.

All these frameworks to do MVC... Maybe it's time browsers just natively support 2 way binding of data to DOM elements and virtual DOM diff-style batch rendering. It seems silly to relegate these features that everyone wants to a 3rd p

Does this support nesting custom tags? How do I communicate between different tags? Is the opts variable accessible outside the definition of the tag?

We have ways of obtaining mountains of sequencing data that represents only a single dimension of an unknown system. While, it is a step in the right direction, this data by itself is still lacking. It's like trying to model the trajec

Anonymity is hard in practice when so much of science consist of small niche fields where it can be pretty obvious who the author of a paper is by just reading the content. A better solution might be to enforce non-anonymous peer-reviews th

I just finished grad school (biosciences). This seems like sound advice to me. I guess things haven't changed much since 1994. Which is a bit of a shame..

I don't think you should keep your opinions to yourself. However, when you present your opinions with sarcasm and ad hominem attacks, you are bringing down the conversation to a level that is not conducive to any meaningful discussions

The key quote in the article is when the author describes his own job as a travel writer as "an over-inflated respect for the unique value of my own experience". I think that applies to all experiences these days, not just traveli
