A #bioinformatics question: is there a program that can read both a multiple sequence alignment and a phylogenetic tree computed from it, and let me save to a new file a subset of sequences chosen from the tree (all leaves from a given node)? Bonus points if this program: runs on Linux, is free […]

An incredibly important election in a tiny country just went the right way. Moldova has resisted a huge Russian disinformation campaign and will not become a Russian puppet state.

Today, our "Programming Digital Societies" class at Amsterdam University College #auc will be about the #fediverse. Among other things students are reading and watching the work of @_elena ❤️ @SLURF At some point there will be a small Mastodon tutorial in which we will invite them to create an […]

Min bokmässa summerad: -Slutsåld bok. -Fullsatta seminarier. -Roliga samtalspartners. -Dödshotad av en poet i hennes nyutgivna dagbok. -Påhoppad av nazister efter min signering. Antar att de två sistnämnda punkterna inte kommer lyftas av någon kulturchef som demokratihot då det inte var araber.

RE: https://colours.bots.edent.tel/posts/68d87379-8e35-18be-b901-2730376a090d.json Ok, I need some #activitypub help, please. The reply to this will have links to the QuoteRequest the bot received, the QuoteAuthorization which it saves, and the Accept message it returns. Can anyone figure out […]

This satirical blog post really illustrates the problem with a lot of technical writing. Amazing technical writing is so good and then everything else reads like this https://anniemueller.com/posts/how-i-a-non-developer-read-the-tutorial-you-a-developer-wrote-for-me-a-beginner

libxml2's sole maintainer Nick Wellnhofer steps down, meaning libxml2 is now no longer maintained. https://discourse.gnome.org/t/stepping-down-as-libxml2-maintainer/31398 It's hard to estimate just how many companies depend on this software and critical security updates to the library, so I'm […]

Book Review "The Ant Collective: Inside the World of an Ant Colony" by Armin Schieb If you love insects, nature or ants you should get this book. It's dense with diagrams and illustrations that cover every aspect of the lives of wood ants, the famous ants of temperate forests who build pine […]

Jag förväntar mig betydligt starkare markeringar från svenskt politiskt håll. För jag borde inte ens behöva skriva det här. Jag borde känna mig trygg i att den svenska regeringen står upp för pressfriheten, även när det rör sig om ett land som Sverige är allierat med inom Nato. Men nu är det som […]

Exactly this 💯 #actuallyautistic #neurodivergent

Ännu en felaktig barndomföreställning krossad. "Valar äter plankton", my ass.

"Milky Way" and "Milky Subway" really hits quite different...

I'm very sorry I keep posting all this #ruby stuff, for the *many* folks who follow me who really don't know/care. Feel free to mute that hashtag, or this one: #rubycentraltakeover With that said… Shit's getting *nasty*! The Rails fork open letter has a PR attempting to deface it. Minions […]

It is WILD that we now live in a time where my job as an astrophysics professor has gone from "learn cool things about space" to "try to get someone to hold billionaires accountable for dropping shit on us from orbit"

Everything. Is better. With trains.

@jannem that one has neither milk nor flour, just cream! What you describe reminds me of German Snüsch: https://www.sonachgefuehl.de/norddeutscher-schnuesch-mit-fruehlingsgemuese/

Installing gcc on my phone. You know, like you do.

Jag behöver fler vänner! Rätt ny i #stockholm och känner inte så många än. Någon som vill ta en fika? Mina nördintressen är väl musik, människor och relationer men är väl egentligen öppen för allt.

Does anyone else need less bullshit on their feeds and more trains? Let me help you. Shinagawa to Kawasaki on the Keikyu line, now. May the ever 気まぐれ gods of video compression be with you.

This was very funny and I do think it makes some good points, although I am not looking forward to the smug linux weenie contingent reading it literally and linking to it incessantly, while being ignorant of the artful suspension of disbelief and the deliberate omission of massive swathes of […]

Come on, Fediverse: Aastronomy professor and Saskatchewan, Canada, goat farmer Sam Lawler, (@sundogplanets) needs reliable help for her livestock in order to make an upcoming speaking tour of Aoteraoa. Pleez boost so the word gets out widely and Prof Lawler can share her knowledge with the […]

There is a reason that the occult and fascism tangle up in each other so much, and it has a lot to do with this sort of mindset. Fascism and many strains of occultism boil down to, "if I, a very special boy, wish something out loud enough times and hard enough, it will happen."

Just how the NeverKleen self-cleaning litterbox achieved its incredible results was unclear. Until the null dimension filed a protest and we had to take delivery of sixty five thousand tons of returned cat turds. #tootfic #microfiction #poweronstorytoot

Att flytta, att tvingas lära sig ett nytt språk, ny värld kräver så galet mycket av en människa. Det är väl självklart. Varje människa som inte var med om det borde kunna föreställa sig den utmaningen. Det krävs energi, resiliens och optimism. Ett hopp om att kunna göra det nya landet till sitt.

Det är inte smörgåsbord. Det är galet slitsamt i början. Jag brukade köa till bussen mot K-na och tyst upprepa “En biljett till Karlskrona” flera ggr för mig själv för att kunna säga det till chauffören. Ibland grät jag för att jag inte såg ett bekant ansikte på stan. Politiker kan upprepa att

Igår var det exakt 26år sedan jag kom till Sverige för att plugga 1år. Men jag blev kär i min K och stannade Jag sökte uppehållstillstånd och oron var så påtaglig att jag hamnade på akuten pga yrsel. Ett tag levde vi på Ks CSN och bostadsbidrag på 1000kr. Det var inget smörgårsbord av bidrag som

Daily Portal Z is perhaps my favorite japanese website. This time: make a boring room look cool and cyberspace with glow in the dark tape: https://dailyportalz.jp/kiji/glow-in-the-dark You don't need to understand japanese; the pictures tell the whole story.

Fediverse! I need some help! I have a fellowship to go to Aotearoa New Zealand for a few weeks, and also an offer of an additional fellowship to give lectures around NZ. This is INCREDIBLY EXCITING!! ...but I have a lot of animals! And it's going to be […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

We went to a japanese-food buffet restaurant in #osaka yesterday. Among the dishes are trays with sushi, perhaps a dozen or so pieces each. You take one or two pieces, and they fill up with fresh sushi. A young American tourist couple came in, then proceeded to fill up their plates with *all* […]

As a former Rubyist and admirer of many people in that community… holy shit. Ruby Central power-play land grab over Ruby Gems (maybe for good reasons but nobody knows) and DHH writing love letters to Tommy Robinson. Tough to know what to link to, I think some people are hiding truths. Anyhow […]

Biggest commitment to a 3 second joke I've ever seen

To be frank, I’ve become extremely frustrated since the acquisition because now the environment combines the worst aspects of a make-it-up-as-you-go small company with the worst aspects of a faceless corporate overlord. I love my coworkers, I don’t love the general approach to projects and […]
