Last Notes npub1rdlvmz5r9kykge8780q7t8elwg6m59fwe0jf384ha8gqsrvny79s7glmpy kupac^ESC:wq Hungarian elections are in the news around the world. This is highly unusual, so here's an informative video about the sad state of my homeland. Insane indeed. https://inv.nadeko.net/XTp45qKCYRw npub1rdlvmz5r9kykge8780q7t8elwg6m59fwe0jf384ha8gqsrvny79s7glmpy kupac^ESC:wq Thanks for sharing! npub1rdlvmz5r9kykge8780q7t8elwg6m59fwe0jf384ha8gqsrvny79s7glmpy kupac^ESC:wq If you really want to hurt a snail, you may be able to break its mantle (never seen it actually happen), but the crack on the foot looks ridiculous. npub1rdlvmz5r9kykge8780q7t8elwg6m59fwe0jf384ha8gqsrvny79s7glmpy kupac^ESC:wq As a biologist, I call bullshit. The anatomy is correct, but I've never seen a snail getting injured by lifting it off the ground. It's not like a suction pad. The only place where it *might* happen is a very smooth, artificial surface, like a window. But there, you'll feel the resistance, and won't rip it off. Also, usually they retreat quite fast when in danger, you don't need half a minute for that. npub1rdlvmz5r9kykge8780q7t8elwg6m59fwe0jf384ha8gqsrvny79s7glmpy kupac^ESC:wq I've heard an HR professional openly say that they no longer read cover letters. AI has become so pervasive that they are basically neatly written garbage, and all look the same. npub1rdlvmz5r9kykge8780q7t8elwg6m59fwe0jf384ha8gqsrvny79s7glmpy kupac^ESC:wq Category theory for programmers is a gem, and my favourite online lecture series ever. It made me a lot better programmer. Every second of it is gold despite the bad sound quality... And now I've found out that somebody denoised the video and shared it on Peertube. npub1rdlvmz5r9kykge8780q7t8elwg6m59fwe0jf384ha8gqsrvny79s7glmpy kupac^ESC:wq I was just thinking the same. **IF** (that's a big if) people ever realise that they don't need the digital "services" provided by the US-based companies, what's left? Some things for sure; it's not nothing, but most of US economy would be gone. npub1rdlvmz5r9kykge8780q7t8elwg6m59fwe0jf384ha8gqsrvny79s7glmpy kupac^ESC:wq Wooow, small world! I lived in that area around 2012. It has changed a lot since then. Awesome photos, thanks! npub1rdlvmz5r9kykge8780q7t8elwg6m59fwe0jf384ha8gqsrvny79s7glmpy kupac^ESC:wq I'm preparing a NixOS config for a new computer. It blows my mind (once again) that you can test and polish your config in a VM, so that when your computer arrives you just import the hardware-config, and boom, you're good to go! In theory. But for me, theory ≅ practice with #nixos so far. npub1rdlvmz5r9kykge8780q7t8elwg6m59fwe0jf384ha8gqsrvny79s7glmpy kupac^ESC:wq I used gemma3 and codegemma. But my card has only 8gb ram, so that could be the issue. Writing doc was also a disaster for me, it totally misunderstood what the code was doing npub1rdlvmz5r9kykge8780q7t8elwg6m59fwe0jf384ha8gqsrvny79s7glmpy kupac^ESC:wq I think I might just remove the bullshit machine from my computer. I wasted a lot of time setting it up, tryint to prompt it well, and it gave me useful answers twice so far. npub1rdlvmz5r9kykge8780q7t8elwg6m59fwe0jf384ha8gqsrvny79s7glmpy kupac^ESC:wq Looking for AWS batch alternatives to run nextflow pipelines. European providers are preferred. HTcondor looks promising, but probably takes quite some time to set up on a cloud provider. Does anyone on fedi know a good one? #bioinformatics #cloud npub1rdlvmz5r9kykge8780q7t8elwg6m59fwe0jf384ha8gqsrvny79s7glmpy kupac^ESC:wq @npub1e8h…7zjt npub1rdlvmz5r9kykge8780q7t8elwg6m59fwe0jf384ha8gqsrvny79s7glmpy kupac^ESC:wq I wasn't going to bring it up, but now that you mention it... :D npub1rdlvmz5r9kykge8780q7t8elwg6m59fwe0jf384ha8gqsrvny79s7glmpy kupac^ESC:wq Ah, that's not a declarative distro? npub1rdlvmz5r9kykge8780q7t8elwg6m59fwe0jf384ha8gqsrvny79s7glmpy kupac^ESC:wq You're forgetting about lynx and w3m :D npub1rdlvmz5r9kykge8780q7t8elwg6m59fwe0jf384ha8gqsrvny79s7glmpy kupac^ESC:wq `tar xf` works for both uncompressed and gzipped. You're welcome. I never use bz2 anymore, so not sure about that one npub1rdlvmz5r9kykge8780q7t8elwg6m59fwe0jf384ha8gqsrvny79s7glmpy kupac^ESC:wq Does it smell like FASTQ in here? :-) I too used awk for that npub1rdlvmz5r9kykge8780q7t8elwg6m59fwe0jf384ha8gqsrvny79s7glmpy kupac^ESC:wq Very true. What we*do* know for sure is that the path leading up to death sucks big time. Unless it's super quick. npub1rdlvmz5r9kykge8780q7t8elwg6m59fwe0jf384ha8gqsrvny79s7glmpy kupac^ESC:wq I've just switched from Gogs to Forgejo on my local server. Thanks to #nixos it took me very little time to set it up, as all the configs have the same syntax, and packagers did a great job enabling all the necessary options. npub1rdlvmz5r9kykge8780q7t8elwg6m59fwe0jf384ha8gqsrvny79s7glmpy kupac^ESC:wq That's all totally cool, I guess you are still allowed to btw if you use Arch. npub1rdlvmz5r9kykge8780q7t8elwg6m59fwe0jf384ha8gqsrvny79s7glmpy kupac^ESC:wq https://functional.cafe/system/media_attachments/files/113/085/432/757/371/815/original/ebb25a5e1b67384f.jpeg npub1rdlvmz5r9kykge8780q7t8elwg6m59fwe0jf384ha8gqsrvny79s7glmpy kupac^ESC:wq https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:CarpentersRule.png npub1rdlvmz5r9kykge8780q7t8elwg6m59fwe0jf384ha8gqsrvny79s7glmpy kupac^ESC:wq Today we had a "bored afternoon" with my four year old son. The rest of the family was sleeping, and we played with a broken folding rule. The game somehow got invented, I don't know if it was him or me; perhaps together. It was just five straight sides that you could fold in any shape, and the other one had to guess what it was. Amazing how children can enjoy these creative games <3 Best bonding moment ever. #parenting
