🟢A Julia package for creating probability distributions parameterised by moments (mean, variance, etc.) or quantiles, on standard or arbitrary supports. Builds on Distributions.jl.

It makes this possible:

d = make_dist(Normal, q1=-1, q3=1)

DistributionsFactories.jl

I’m happy to announce DistributionsFactories.jl, a package that solves a problem most of us have hit: you know the summary statistics you want — a mean and variance, a couple of quantiles, a mode — but you need an actual Distributions.jl object with those properties, and the named families aren’t parameterised that way. DistributionsFactories.jl inverts that. You give it the family and the moments or quantiles, and it solves for the parameters. In some cases, all it is doing is using an explic...

This morning, Alex and I extended our investigation of rolling by rolling a marble down a piece of crown molding at higher angles. We then dropped the same marble from various heights, limited by the ceiling height. Small heights lead to big errors in timing, so we added 4 data points from the full ceiling height. Rolling produces one estimate of acceleration and freefall produces an entirely different one.

Well, the #physics lessons have begun. we taped a meter stick to the back side of a cutting board, and tilted it up to two different angles and tried to measure the time a ball takes to roll 15 and 30cm down the ramp. Several different diameters, several different materials (steel, glass). My son typed in the data off the paper sheet. Then I made lunch and now I'm gonna go food shopping. after I return we will get #julialang on his laptop and make some graphs. I want him to do the same expt

Hmm. #Julialang GFF3 module (and to lesser degree, BioSequences) need an update. If it's in same env as CairoMakie it'll lock down CairoM to a version incompatible with Julia release 1.12+, crashing out during precompilation step.

Surprised to see what should be a primarily text parser clash with Makie dependencies like this.

I feel like half my #Julialang errors come from malformed data input returning 'missing' type that gets caught up in one of downstream type checks. Ugh.

Sé que el tidyverse y ggolot son dos motivos por los que hay mucha gente usa R.

En Julia existe Tidier.jl y es magnífico:

https://tidierorg.github.io/Tidier.jl/v1.6.1/

Une la sencillez del tidyverse con la rapidez y flexibilidad de Julia. Son una decena de paquetes que permiten replicar la experiencia de R (pero mejor 😉).

Mad 4AM dash to wrap up a #Julialang tool for #archaea lab collaboration. Pure terminal UnicodePlots pipe for assessing & plotting raw BAM reads quality then generating length x quality plot animation in mp4.

The whole thing takes seconds even for pretty large BAMs - necessary since we'll be sequencing and analyzing over a hundred archaeal species.

Also, guys, mastodon media attachment support is leagues better than bsky or twitter. Holy cow.
