I stumbled onto nim because a sequencing-data (DNA/RNA/etc) library was written for it ( https://github.com/brentp/hts-nim ). In addition to Go, it's been a great way to learn a compiled language. It'

My mistake - I managed to completely misinterpret what you meant. I agree with your comment!

I don’t think it’s pomp. Once I learned Unix pipes and the tools for manipulating data (sed awk cut etc), it just became much faster and easier than writing python scripts that do the same thing. You can literally connect the output of one

To this day I still receive emails for another person with my name through cap one 360. Some were regarding overdue bills, and with others some personal information was given. I called repeatedly... and nothing was ever done about it. I thi

Efficiency is also more important than it seems. You can have lots of low quality, half-baked output. How much forethought do we put into what we will work on to begin with? Some projects and ideas are not worth the effort. Or an alternativ

Seems like an open-source self-managed solution would be preferable at this point.

Not sure how you will provide updates but I think satellite imagery over time would be really neat for reforested areas.

The two main things you want out of a workflow language are re-entrancy and a DAG of job dependencies. Re-entrancy is the ability for the workflow to pick up where it left if something crashes (basically via caching or detecting the presenc

For bioinformatics, take a look at Nextflow. I personally think it is miles ahead of the competition having reviewed about a dozen options out there. This looks useful, but can it submit jobs to cloud compute clusters or HPC systems and ope

A few ways to get more free time: - combine commuting with working out. Even if you only run 1/2 way and still have to catch a train for the second half you’ll still be getting time back. - hire a cleaning service if you can afford it.

Thanks! Lots to learn here.

is there a list of these kinds of businesses out there? What is your business gonna be?

So I may be working with DICOMs in the very near future and know nothing about them. This seems like it will be helpful to me. Where can I learn more about the format and how to use it?

It can be very tough to get ahead in science/academia without that laser focus, unfortunately.

I think the most important thing to optimize for is time. Move closer to work, get a roomba, buy a second monitor, etc. For me anything I can do to get extra time is a huge payoff because I'd rather spend my time learning something new

Here is an alternative solution, although yours is a good one. If you only need a single SNP or a group of SNPs within a region, you can use tabix[1] to index gzipped TSVs and query by genomic position. The position of SNPs can be obtained

I hate that thing. It's so loud. I refuse to dry my hands with it.

I take great satisfaction in filling a notebook from cover to cover though. I do look back at old notes, although it is quite rare.

I went from python to go to nim. Actually I still like go - but nim is an easy transition from python. I think nim is the best thing out there for building tiny CLI utilities. It’s a fun language to code in.

Definitely. A lot of work is done in R or python and could be sped up in a compiled language.

Love hearing stories like this where people gained because of some loophole. Does anyone know if there is a compilation somewhere of these? See also: https://www.businessinsider.com/us-mint-ends-the-dollar-coin...

Glad you figured things out - but I’m very curious about what you switched to.

I look at it more through a behavioral lens. If you know a lot about someone you can use that information to modify their behavior and decisions. I'd prefer to minimize behavioral triggers like and retain more influence over my own des

I like it as well - but google is almost certainly using this data to target you. I also wish I more control. Is there a way to export to GPX? It would be fun to create a heat map of your daily locations over the course of years.

From a very young age I’ve thought cemeteries were ludicrous. It’s nice to be able to remember a loved one, but after a few hundred years is it still necessary? The fact is after a certain number of generations no one is grieving or remembe
