Only when trying to assert that you are not one

I believe computers have been doing that for decades.. I'm not sure if simplifying these outputs into a tldr; text is feasible

Disputing is always part of science.

For balance: Nature (the journal) does have a high bar for entry.. but also a high number of retractions...

Why do you need this? You can just

from __future__ import braces

Does something else being worse (alcohol) but acceptable mean that an alternative (cannabis) should be acceptable?

If alcohol was not already widely (ab)used in a county would they be wrong to prohibit it?

(Note not meant in any form of malice, intended as probing questions for discussion)

Nice.

But I'd add getting rid of heatmaps on large datasets. They are information dense and pretty, but I can't see how anyone interprets them. Better to do clustering and plot the data for each relevant cluster in a more meaningful way.

Just a thought

I suppose there are already many articles showing how to speed calculations by avoiding/optimizing pandas.

It does feel a little unfair a comparison. Everyone knows that for loops are slow in python.. as is much of the core library. But pushing analysis to c using pythonic APIs (numpy/numba/pytorch) is fairly trivial

So my question to the non bioinformatics - is this already a solved problem?

You have tasks which require resources based on the input parameters, these are run in docker containers to ensure the environment and you want to track the output of each step. Often these are embarrassingly parallel operations (e.g. I have 200 samples to do the same thing on).

Something like dask perhaps,but can specify a docker image for the task?

What is the goto in DevOps for similar tasks? GitHub actions comes pretty close...

To bioinformatics what is the unique selling point of next flow over say wdl/Cromwell?

2017/01/31 23:00-ish YP thinks that perhaps pg_basebackup is being super pedantic about there being an empty data directory, decides to remove the directory. After a second or two he notices he ran it on db1.cluster.gitlab.com, instead of db2.cluster.gitlab.com 2017/01/31 23:27 YP - terminates the removal, but it’s too late. Of around 310 GB only about 4.5 GB is left

I can't even imagine the sinking feeling..

To those who don't know.. file formats in genetics is already a big mess.

Wouldn't natural selection be more apt?

Qt in the browser sounds cool.. but feels reminiscent of shockwave..

No
