@antigravman @sillystring@infosec.exchange @freemo @SmilingTexan @timorl where do you get the number 50 from?
@soup_reviews maybe not everyone though. I tend to think a lot of folks in my segment of the job market are overpaid. probably most of the people who have been identified as essential this past year who were working with near-poverty wages should be receiving more money. markets aren't going to do it though: it's too easy to replace low-skill labor.

i think everyone need to earn way more money across the board for what they do. everyone at the top is ripping the world off.
i also think the system is pretty rigged, though, and gains being made are going to fail to show the results people need.

That last potential use is pretty intriguing. Would be even cooler if similar phenomena are observed with endogenous proteins in neural tissue

@mishari@mastodon.in.th @erm67 @lupyuen @chrysn @pete maybe this has something to do with it? https://www.elastic.co/contributor-agreement?license=icla
I haven't read it yet, but this may assign such rights.
Can someone explain to me why Date.getUTCMonth returning 0-indexed values isn't just stupid?
(just venting. don't @ me)
@soup_reviews I think this is a joke, but the FTC would almost certainly take a dim view of that here in the US

@2ck Debian / Ubuntu's packaging strategy is a major source of reputational damage to Python and the PyPA, unfortunately: https://gist.github.com/tiran/2dec9e03c6f901814f6d1e8dad09528e
They do all kinds of non-standard and unsupported things, then people complain upstream and get the impression that Python is more unstable / fragile than it is 🙁
@p2hang not a solution in my case, but thanks
@izaya yeah, I know some rather pushy, opinionated people. I've noticed that I just talk to them less often overall. It's not fun getting railroaded and having words put in your mouth you never said any time you disagree.
@izaya like long-term or in the moment? I've done the latter.
@stux safety warning: don't spray someone with a fire extinguisher. depends on the type of extinguisher and how enclosed the space, but spraying a person with the contents can cause asphyxiation, respiratory irritation, or frostbite
The point at the end about basic science research is well-made, but it's not just that similar viruses have been studied before that made the COVID-19 vaccines possible (it is easy to make the case for those studies), but all of the research into tools and methods, even for unrelated uses, that allowed for rapid development is important as well.

Common cell type nomenclature for the mammalian brain
The advancement of single-cell RNA-sequencing technologies has led to an explosion of cell type definitions across multiple organs and organisms. Resulting in widely varying nomenclature and limited alignment between taxonomies.
To facilitate cross-dataset comparison, the Allen Institute created the common #cell type #nomenclature (CCN).

This is actually pretty fun. Portal voices are pretty solid. The timbre of Twilight Sparkle is dead on - really surprised me. Wasn't able to change denoise setting though: might have helped with some of the muddiness in a few of the voices.
