Some readers here might be interested in the history of the technology that has enabled cryo-EM. One of the key innovations was the development of CMOS direct detection devices that are able to detect electrons with extremely high signal to

I work with a consortium that is trying to map the anatomy of the peripheral nervous system. My key take home has been that our knowledge of peripheral anatomy at population scale is woefully inadequate. People look at Vesalius and think &q

Glad to see that other observers have keyed in on the discoverability aspect. I tried to highlight it in [1]. Unfortunately I haven't been able to hop back into the discussion there, and things have been moving at a fantastic pace. The

This solves the namespacing problem and allows creators and consumers to use different names if they want. Searching based on the creator's original name for a project becomes a mess because there will be a very large number of HelloWo

Technically it could be ported, but that port would require porting a major subset, if not all of emacs lisp as well. This is due to the fact that elisp closures are valid and often semantically critical arguments to src blocks. Defining th

I knew about Fennel, but did not know about Lumen. Thanks for the pointer! edit: Looking at the git history is very educational for how to bootstrap a self hosting system like this. Fascinating.

Somehow I knew this was Patricia before opening the article (cbc.ca, neurophilosophy, and morality only have so many names associated with them). I had a number of discussions with her about this about two or three years ago, and my key tak

Thanks for the pointer to Gwern's writeup of timestamping. I have mentioned the idea on a number of occasions as a reasonable way to guard against investigator misconduct around tampering with data files and now have an excellent revie

This kind of scenario is exactly why I imagined that the very first thing that the secret service would do is snap Trump's phone in half and throw it in the bin. Yet another thing to add to the long list of new legislation that needs t

Here is a question that I have about Clojure and its REPL. I have tried 3 times over a period of a year or so to get it to behave like a common lisp REPL and every single time I have hit a brick wall called project.clj and/or deps.edn

Many times when working with code that uses structs in Racket I have found myself fruitlessly grepping for the definition of some mysterious and troublesome function before eventually remembering to check whether there is a struct named foo

Gentoo prefix can run on a wide variety of operating systems and distributions. It needs a few updates to work around the recent changes in macos permissioning, but if it can find a familiar shell it will more or less work as expected. I th

The solution mentioned at the start of the article is what distribution package maintainers have been doing for decades. I would take this account as a giant flashing warning sign of what could happen to the flatpak/snap ecosystem, and

org-sync [0] is all that I could find when I went to look into this last week. It does not have all the functionality that I would want (e.g. comments should be begin_src markdown blocks), but could serve as a start for something more, and

An anecdote on what you might be missing. There is nothing concrete that not using org-mode would cause you to miss out on, it is rather the possibility of being able to access one of countless workflows that have been built on top of it. W

Honestly at this point it is usually easier for me to read the raw org-mode source file in an emacs buffer than to wade through whatever random web rendering and author has picked when they export to html.

While I might have been concerned about this at one point in time, emacs and gcc are some of the most ported pieces of software in existence. That said, there have been some discussions about trying to work toward a specification for how th

No, we retain a local copy of the annotations, but that's about it. Last time I checked the hypothes.is client didn't have the ability to use an arbitrary backend. We did at one point create a fork of the web extension that could

My PhD work would not have been possible without Hypothes.is. My group uses it for a variety of information extraction and curation tasks, and I'm fairly certain that one of my colleagues has the highest number of human made annotation

I agree that the feeling is quite freeing, and very effective for sandboxing activities to prevent distraction, the only trade off is when I have run a garbage collection workflow to reclaim space (usually completely adhoc). In fact writing

In principle yes. The problem is that they loose their topicness and quickly become "oh this was the closest virtual desktops to where you were in the grid with an empty space." This is largely because I made the mistake of origin

Man, I know I have a problem, and I thought it was bad at about 700 tabs across 25 windows (virtual desktops are enablers for the window count). But seeing this thread I clearly need to up my game/download more memory.

I think what you're looking for is TRAMP [0,1]. After resisting it and continuing to ssh into remote hosts in a shell, I finally started to switch my workflows over, and the improvement is substantial. Async remote compiling might work

I don't think that is how libgccjit is being used in this project. Emacs is not being linked with libgccjit. libgccjit is only being use for AOT compilation.

I have a Gentoo ebuild [0] almost working for this (I think I'm missing the step where the eln files are loaded before dumping the base image). The compile times are ... substantial. However they don't affect the development proce

I didn't mean to imply that Nix itself did not, rather that when I have seen Nix mentioned in other contexts where I might have expected to see Gentoo mentioned as well, it was not. The thesis probably isn't the best thing to link

Life long Gentoo user here. The fact that NixOS other other new fangled package management systems are rarely mentioned in the same context as Gentoo has led me to wonder whether the new kids on the block have done their homework. I realize

Another way I like to phrase this thought (without getting into the details about whether Aristotle and Nietzsche agree or disagree), is that morality is a system of rules for making decisions. Turing machines and computation more generally
