  • I'm a data analyst at a medical nonprofit, primarily doing analyses on germline variants for rare forms of cancer. I'm new to this kind of work, but had a decent educational background in biology.

    Something I've learned is that genetics are complicated as hell. A single gene can produce multiple different proteins, and proteins change over time due to somatic variation. Only 1% of the genome are protein coding, called exomes. Exomes can be affected by variations to start and stop codons, non coding regions, and untranslated regions. There are entire fields dedicated to studying genome-wide, exomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, phenomics, and probably several others that I don't know about. The amount of data involved with these fields is in the tebibytes region. Have you ever seen a "small" 3GiB csv? I have. The filtered and cleaned data frames created by genetics are over 100 columns wide and have nearly 5 million entries.

    There are companies creating artificial life by generating custom chromosomes. There's a whole field of computer science dedicated to biological computing, using DNA as a storage medium. There are companies dedicated to simply classifying genes.

    DNA is cool as hell.

  • My sibling has a cat named Stumpy. Stumpy has all limbs and a full tail, he got his name because he was found in a tree stump as a kitten. Stumpy is an attention whore and loves being pet and held. While holding and petting Stumpy, he will attack your hand because he loves the attention

  • I just checked Microsoft's website. They're trying to make windows enterprise a subscription model. The current cost for what they're calling "windows 365" is $99/yr per user. They're saving nearly $250 million a year, or €211 Million

  • AI chatbots could be making you stupider

    Jump

  • Everyone is stupid about something. People we label as stupid are stupid about most things

  • "If I can't win an argument, I must change my mind." Do you agree with this view?

    There are people who deny the existence of vacuums now? Smh my head

  • What's the coolest performance you've ever seen?

    Jump

  • Probably Behemoth. They straight up performed a satanic ritual on stage during a song. Coolest shit I've ever seen

  • Klingons must have been absolutely riddled with STDs in their history

    Jump

  • It's possible, but we aren't really given any evidence of this

  • HIV and hepatitis are both bloodborne and sexually transmitted. To be most accurate, you'd be correct. But comedy for the meme community allows STD to also be correct

  • What habit do you possess that seems very normal to you, but would seem odd to anyone else?

    Jump

  • I've been told that my pacing is weird. It seems pretty normal to want to move to think. It happens a lot when I'm on phone calls especially, but I'll pace while making decisions too

  • I've had a lot of farm cats in my life. Usually when they reach this age at this time of year, they're very likely to live for quite a long time. Winter kittens have a much harder time, because they climb into vehicle engines for warmth. When they're born at this part of the year, they learn to avoid vehicles when we approach them

  • Trump’s border czar threatens to flood New York with ICE agents despite resistance

    Jump

  • They truly did draw down. I don't know the actual number anymore, but it's somewhere around 100 - 200. They're still out here kidnapping people, but the resistance is still ongoing. In fact, the contractor providing fences for the Whipple building is pulling out, so now ICE has no barrier

  • Not only couldn't they handle us, our anarchists taught NYC anarchists how we resisted. We walked so they can run.

  • What are your worst tech purchases?

  • same with my LG. I never connected it to the internet directly. I chose instead to plug in an rpi

  • What are your worst tech purchases?

    Jump

  • I think I'd have to go with the HDMI switch I bought for work. There were some limitations, like it couldn't do more than 1080p, but otherwise it worked quite well for what I needed it for. The reason it was my worst purchase is because when I was illegally fired from that job, I wasn't allowed to collect my things from my desk. They assumed it was theirs and they never returned it. I got the better deal though, they didn't keep track of KVMs so I never returned mine

  • What are your Uno "house rules"?

    Jump

  • We don't play these rules every time, but they're incredibly fun.

    On a 0, we all swap hands in the direction of play.

    Placing a 7 allows you to swap hands with a person of choice.

    +2 cards can be stacked, the first person without a +2 takes all of them
