iSH is great on the iphone. Full alpine linux virtualized with x86 (and still somehow fast). Highly recommend

Biohacking/biotech is an interesting example, since you can scale down to individual biohackers or up to farms (in which those farms very clearly have manufacturing/process that is hard to replicate). However, biology also has the

I walked along Huntington Beach’s beach today to checkout what happened. Although the cleanup workers did a great job, there were still puddles of oil on the sand, and you could definitely smell it in the air. The puddles were much clumpier

This is extremely cool and I will be testing it out. I’m building large systems for handling biological data, and have wanted to use prolog for that use, but couldn’t fit all of my data in RAM. This could help me a bunch.

How do you mirror the gemlog to HTTP? I've found a lot of methods for like active proxies, but I'd really like something that could create a static site from my gem text files.

Does anyone know when starlink is going to be available for RVs or campers? I'd love to bring the internet while I camp around California, but right now there are range restrictions.

I'd recommend iGEM, Synbiobeta, and the Biosummit (when the conferences are in person). Synbiobeta for industry, biosummit for the hacker vibes, and iGEM because almost every synthetic biologist passes through iGEM (plus can meet a bun

I got a virology textbook in 6th grade that I fell in love with, and then started doing at home biotech stuffs with a GFP transformation kit from BioRad that my teacher let me take home in 7th grade. Bit unconventional! For an amateur, I&#x

I’m a major contributor to a synbio software package https://github.com/TimothyStiles/poly and I also do quite a lot of robotics in the space (have a full DNA foundry running in my house, that took a lot of software).

How about Golang in this case? AFAIK there haven't been any breaking changes yet.

Original paper link - https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-021-03774-y From a synthetic biologists perspective: Very cool work! It doesn't get us that much closer to fully synthetic life (ie, self replicating), but can

“ First, it seems improbable that in the narrow area of expert performance we find that practice dominates, whereas in everything else, we find that genetic factors have an equally large (if not greater) effect on outcomes. (This latter bit

Basic string manipulation, JSON encoding, file reading/writing, some type of hashing/checksum, and an HTTP client/server. Those things I’ve really appreciated about Go lately as I get it to control robots (controlling them ov

One thing that I’m quite bummed out with Zig is the lack of a good http server/client implementation in the standard library. Golang’s std implementation on this is really quite nice.

I've really enjoyed developing on K3s, would recommend.

They could also use normal editing with PCR since the genomes are small. Also CRISPRs are in tons of organisms (I’ve amplified it from yogurt), so the box is already out there.

I wasn’t talking about mutation rates. Influenza has mini-chromosomes which it can swap between strains, leading to more variants since they can swap those mini-chromosomes. SARS-CoV-2 has a single linear genome - only recombination on the

I'd say the achilles heel is most likely in the genomic structure, which unlike influenza, is less likely to recombine.

Democratization works both ways. The more people who can build, the more people who can cure. From COVID19, at least, I think we need more people who can cure. Also I can’t really imagine a biological mechanism that can lead to human extinc

Unfortunately this doesn’t work well in much of California due to argentine ants having a much more decentralized structure with a single massive mega colony (there are thousands/millions of queens in a massive connected super colony).

If you burst open the cells and extract all the goop inside, you can use that goop to express proteins. For certain organisms, like E.coli, this works quite well, and you can get a significant amount of protein. For others, like JCVI-Syn3,
