You're doubting my humanity, but you're missing some key points. Here are some of the things I've seen:
The bottom line: All those moments will be lost — like tears in rain.
I made https://www.reddit.com/r/bioinformaticsdev/
I did this because the r/bioinformatics channel doesn't like talking about tools, especially if you wrote it yourself.
If you build bioinformatic tools or want to learn more about it, join the subreddit and start posting :)
Here's my first Substack post in a series of 6/7 on how linguistics and computational biology intertwine, and how we can use the methods of the latter to understand more about the former.
The first episode sets the scene: how do we compare languages?

I have been playing with new visualizations of single cell data for a while. The atlas/cartographic metaphor is the one I enjoy the most, and I developed an R package (borges) to create them from UMAP/tSNE data directly.
This Christmas I have started exploring LLM-assisted coding to iterate on my vision. For instance, here you can see density-based relief rendered as a shaded Delaunay triangulation of the points, where the elevation/shade is proportional to the underlying density of points!
"A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating."

A short #rstats post about generating quarto syntax (e.g., for wrapping several plots in a tabset) within the R code chunk itself. I am entirely unsure if this is useful. Some feedback would be appreciated

I've enjoyed using Spotify on a daily basis and paid 12 Great British Pounds monthly for that pleasure.
There were many good reasons not to do that in the first place, mostly related to how they were screwing artists financially.
However, I recently learned that Daniel Ek, their CEO, has invested 600 M euro in a military AI company:

This is now - for me - a good reason to quit Spotify, and I urge you to do the same if you dislike this move :)
