This one hit me in the feels today

One of my fave albums from 2006 - "the album tells the story of a young couple who must flee a United States governed by fascist faux-Christians” - hits different now - The Thermals - The Body, the blood, the machine

"When I ask AI to generate code on something I don't know about, I'm in awe. When I get it to generate code in an area I know, I'm disgusted. I would *not* ship it." - @venkats.bsky.social at #DevoxxUK

I honestly follow a similar approach to this thread. 🤩

Benchmarked this thing with a realistic read/write load in a test and high concurrency (10k adds/sec on one routine, 7 additional concurrent routines testing as fast as possible). v.s. a naive RWMutex implementation on a 8c16t test box it was ~14x faster (~14M tests/sec) github.com/ericvolp12/a...

Thirty-eight of 43 experts cut last month from the boards that review the science and research that happens in laboratories at the National Institutes of Health are female, Black or Hispanic, according to an analysis by the chairs of a dozen of the boards.

I can’t believe how stupid everything is

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women. More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications. I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

I've been thinking a lot about that bumper sticker which says "everything looks like a conspiracy theory when you don't understand how anything works" and folks it's pretty obvious to me that the people in power right now have absolutely no desire to understand how anything works.

Rest in peace Roy Ayers, very likely the last person who will be described as an influential vibraphonist

it's kind of fascinating to look at tools obviously built by javascript people because of how it leaves funny finger prints of how much the web platform has traumatized them

Back in the mid-20th century, the FBI could place an individual under surveillance solely for being LGBTQ. This is what enabled the anti-queer witch hunts of the McCarthy era. Now, DHS permits surveillance of LGBTQ people again. Just being queer makes you a suspect. www.advocate.com/politics/dhs...

Have any folks had success in using Qiagen's DNA/RNA/Protein AllPrep kit and downstream protein => MS/MS? The kit in principle should work for MS, but not clear how much optimization/prep needs to be done upfront for captured proteins. 🧬

Netflix era kids will never know the high stakes adrenaline of running to the bathroom/fridge/bedroom in a single ad break, with your sibling screaming, "It's ONNNNNNN" sending you hurtling over furniture to get back in time.

gofund.me/89e37dd3 Trans Chicago lost critical CDC funding. They provide services like name change assistance, hair cuts, art/craft/book fairs, providing safe spaces for the trans community, etc. Doing something to support the trans community (more than sharing a post) is critical.
