Were you using excel to translate their data to the map, or some external script to create the file? If it's the latter, why not use a plotting library? If it's the former, how did you acquire this unholy power?

The O'Reilly book cover for Twisted is a tangled ball of snakes. This seemed like an accurate choice from its reputation.

I think countries like Australia, New Zealand, China, Taiwan, Singapore, Vietnam, and South Korea show that lockdowns can be very effective at stopping spread. However, I think countries like Germany are currently showing us that just becau

Sure! Everyone was freaking out on Friday. But then it actually only lasted five days and the state government is taking steps to reduce risks of outbreak from hotel quarantine. I agree lockdowns are awful. But what if we didn’t do the snap

I’m sorry to hear that, that sounds very rough. It sounds to me like an ineffective broader strategy by your government. I definitely wouldn’t be voting for those people again, and maybe legal action around their incompetence could be an op

I don’t think behavioral psychology counts as politics.

Living in Melbourne, Australia, where we went through some pretty brutal lockdowns, I think they’ll be viewed very positively. Life here is pretty normal now (I’m going to a concert with thousands of people this week), and there’s no vaccin

Strong agree that this is hobbled by being a statement. Pattern matching is great for dispatch and overloading, but because it's a statement there's no way for users to add overloads. There will have to be some `matches(pattern, o

This is what code review is for though, right? I think any reviewer worth their salt is going to be pretty skeptical about a new language feature being the right way to solve a problem. New syntax is often a bad idea, but sometimes it'

Could you share some links on this? I’ve heard talks on using Nanopore for pathogen surveillance, but they were mostly about the ability to spit out reads once you knew what they were. Also, I sit (depending on restriction level) next to a

Who are the customers here? The waiting list for new nanopore sequencers is quite long at the moment. Our neighboring lab has been waiting on a promethION for about a year, and only just got it because their last one bit the dust putting th

Nanopore isn’t great for looking at generic mutation rates (many will be single nucleotide polymorphisms) due to the high error rate. It’s much better at looking for splicing patterns and epigenetic modifications. Splicing patterns could co

I saw it more as not wanting to hire/ give royalties to people you don’t like. “These people wronged me, don’t hire them”. That said, seems morally upright compared to typical stories of blackballing in the entertainment industry.

I do think Julia is a far better language for numerics than python, but compared to DataFrames.jl, pandas can be quite fast. I know, "but it's easier to make it faster in Julia". Last I checked `sort(df, :col)` was significan

10,000g sounds pretty rough. Are there any existing electronics that we would expect to survive this?

I think you could safely outlast the battery, but you might lose circulation from the weight.

The countries that I can think of which subsidize oil also produce it. Plus, it's easier to embezzle money than oil – so better to keep that.

Can anyone comment on how these changes are going to impact projects like conda-forge, which use the free compute time to build binaries? My reading is these projects are what's being targeted. Perhaps there are more egregious uses of

This was my experience too. Perfect in Boston, recently great in Singapore, pretty much useless in Melbourne. I’d like to know more about their modeling. How much do they need to specialize on region for accurate prediction or data collecti

You can get a REPL attached to a notebook in jupyter. When you open a console in jupyter-lab you have the option of attaching it to an already running kernel. Using the notebook interface you can connect a console using `jupyter console --e

Funding from the Vic government has made lots of cool indies possible. I'm pretty used to seeing their logo pop up at the beginning of a game now. It's really good to see such a successful arts funding program, and the thriving co

I love Julia, but feel the interop story could use some work. If I want to have my python package depend on some Julia code, how easy is that? Last time I checked (a few months ago), it was pretty difficult.

Funny you should mention Singapore, as the government moved all of the street hawkers to "hawker complexes" and there is a lot of regulation around food hygiene[1]. [1]: http://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/infopedia/

I think the main two solutions here are introspection and a little TDD. `methodswith` tells you all methods that been defined on a type. Since it returns an array of methods you can do some more introspection on that, if you're so incl
