I hope that doesn't come across too negative, but that sounds more like a problem that you personally have than something inherent from the customization that Linux offers. I run Arch with i3, vim, and tmux and quite frankly I don&#x27

I think it's a copy paste error. The minor allele frequency of rs114142727 is around 1%.

In my experience, git commit messages are the least useful, because people never look at them, at least in the teams I have been part of. If something is important, it should be right there next to the code. One shouldn't have to `git

If you like ncdu, you might also like dua[0]. You can run `dua i` to get an interface similar to ncdu, and can also run `dua` to list file sizes in the current directory, similar to `du`. Or `dua filename ` to get the size of a given file.

Your interests and passions will change over time, and every time a new interest comes up you will wish you started doing it sooner. At some point in the past I wished I started playing chess when I was younger (I no longer care about chess

That's a really cynical take on the matter...

I use the SingleFile extension, which downloads the website with the CSS, images, etc. That way if the page ever disappears, I still have a local copy. It also makes it very easy to search things.

I understand your concerns, because I also had them. When I got my genome sequenced, I assumed that my data could one day be hacked and distributed like any other kind of data, so I tried to provide as little information as possible. In my

Getting your whole genome sequenced is around 200-300$. Nebula or Dante labs offer that. Once you receive the data, which is going to be a VCF file, you have to annotate it with something like Ensembl VEP, which adds useful information to a

If you really are interested in that, I would suggest you skip 23andMe entirely and get your whole genome sequenced. That's where the actually interesting stuff is. That's where you will find the high risk variants.

As someone that doesn't work in that domain, could you give a short example?

As someone that doesn't work in this space, I'm interested in the schedule-driven architectures that you mention. Do you know of any talks where they explain this or, if you have some time, could you explain how the approach has c

I would be interested in hearing more about it. Is it a completely new language? Or a library that helps writing Rust?

by farresito 5y ago
I'm doing the exact same thing, although with my own genome. Things I have done - Annotate the variants with its frequency. You can do that with Ensembl. There's an official Docker image on their website that I suggest you use. Yo

I find it rather sad and ironic that you call his article 'narcissistic talk', yet you are playing the victim, because you allegedly have it worse, half dismissing his situation.

Surely you also have to figure out the PHP ecosystem and paradigm if you don't have experience in it? In any case, I fail to see how PHP is more fun than, say, Python. I have done a few projects in PHP and I would take Python in a hear

The issue with SNPs is that they are generally common in the population, and a variant that is common will rarely have a big effect. If we look at GWAS studies, most of them do not explain much of the variance of a phenotype. It either is d

Correct me if I'm wrong. The issue with SNPs is that they are common in the population, and hence they tend to have small effects, because if a variant is common and gives the carrier a big advantage, the variant will over time get abs

I think 23andme will truly have an impact once it starts doing full genome sequencing, because as of right now it just tests a very small subset of the whole genome.

I think it's therapeutic for those that have to deal with C++ on a daily basis haha.

Unless you are a beginner, the "decide on easiest way to get there" shouldn't exist. It should be muscle memory.

> Go even replaced a low-level language like C++ and achieved the same result in the end Did it, though? Honest question. I get the feeling that it ended up competing with Java (and Python) more than it ended up replacing C++. The C++ fo

Not the person you are answering to, but I think it's all about the level of abstraction you want to reason at. I didn't grok neural networks until I visualized the transformations that were happening in a very simple network. Onc

Totally agree with you. The article that opened my eyes was this[0] one. This[1] video is also very good. [0] https://colah.github.io/posts/2014-03-NN-Manifolds-Topology/ [1] https://www.youtube.com&#x2

Maybe the downside is that someone who sleeps less will also tend to wander during the night, which increased the risk of dying before the modern world.

You measure it of course by how fast it runs when written by a very experienced developer. I don't see how you can argue any other way.

I must be very picky, because to this day I still don't like it at all. It sucks less than it used to maybe, but if I compare it to other languages, I still would rather use anything else.

I don't disagree with you. Maybe I should have been more precise with the term 'language learning'. If you find yourself in the situation that you propose, I think you are already at native level in the target language. I&#x2

Anki sucks for language learning or general vocabulary adquisition compared to simply reading.
