   This is one of those rare things that seems so obvious and simple yet awesome that I immediately slap myself in the face for not thinking of it already. Great idea :)

   I've been looking for something like this. My use case is that I have a bunch of really old bioinformatics programs that are a pain to install and I want to run them from a web app. Instead of bundling all of the weird dependencies wit

   I'm not sure if the privacy protection claims made by Gmelius are true. The plugin claims that I am being tracked via tracking pixel (or other image) embedded in emails and that the trackers know when I read my email and where I read i

   Awesome tool! I've always wanted to make menubar apps but never wanted to learn Xcode+ObjectiveC. Related: Is there no simple way to get the current temperature for location based off of GeoIP using `curl`? I had to use this monstrosit

   It could still be condensation clinging to the agar. He said he put the agar in a bag above a heater. Things probably got pretty steamy in there. The only other explanation I can think of is that those bacteria are motile but I find it odd

    If the devices were encrypted beforehand, would that even help? I wonder if these actions could be legitimized by Uber claiming that they were merely trying to protect user data.

    Genome sequencing requires a lot of CPU power and disk space. You could build an application that performs these tasks and use the first $100k in compute power to help it grow. There is a lot of domain-specific knowledge in this field and I

    I agree that the website is lacking details. If the project is anything like the American Gut Project (which the page suggests), your data will be made available on GitHub [1]. This paper [2] describes the methodology that was used to gener

    No game that I know of can compare to UO. Nowadays, MMORGPs are about grinding in dungeons and leveling up. In Ultima Online it was possible to become successful without having to level up more than enough to survive. My main character coul

    The difference is well within the variation you'd expect from multiple samples, extraction, PCR, sequencing, day-to-day. Also, you're probably better off trying to alter your gut microbiome through ingestion of probiotics. Source:

    I've been looking for a replacement for Evernote for a while. So far I've tried wikis, bluenote, vim + git + markdown. The most important feature keeping me with Evernote is the ability to drag and drop images.
