Agreed. Or number of installations, if that is tracked.

The last startup was based on a great idea, with obviously high potential (see airtable). So why did you stop following that idea so early?

It would be a bad timing if they pushed the subscriptions already...

Small nitpick: Illumia is the owner of the sequencing market. But not really of the bioinformatics market.

Instead of AsciiDoc, it originates from the Sphinx/ReStrucuredText ecosystem. See https://mystmd.org/guide/background

I can't resist to point out that, in theory, there are at least two other options avoid wasting many resources via the failing new teams:

1. Get the original dev to explain his theories (keep employees longer or engage them as consultants) 2. Make and get a "diary" of the original devs theory building.

In this story, and in probably many places, the business environment however supports the explained outcome.

I agree that it seems harsh. However, I have tried the "whitelist this app" route. Turns out that, at least for me, the parental control on android is not sufficient. For example, you cannot block the app store, and in the app store you can watch video previews of games. Also, you get to watch animated gifs on every text field.

Correct. And thanks for the remark.

Good points. However unlocking the phone in the morning puts my son on the wrong track: you would be surprised how much time one can spend checking animated gifs by using any text field that will inevitably be unlocked as well.

Of course I will take full responsibility in case of bugs... So far it didn't happen.

It is more related to sick leave and general scarcity of teachers. I guess before the existence of timetable apps they were better in finding creative ways around those changes.

They still have a paper planner. :) But checking the app each morning is mandatory. And in my son's case, there are changes every couple of days.

Really? Most companies I know have just a single representative or billing endpoint in the EU.

I think it is getting better year after year, in small steps. For example, B2B taxation within the EU (by use of the reverse-charge mechanism) has become quite easy in recent years. Of course, depending on the product, diverse local rules may apply.

I saw that Hetzner is beta testing ceph-based object storage. This could make the setup much easier. Anyone tested this already?

Wonderful writing, thanks for sharing! I particularly like how it's staying away from over-generalizing "do this" advice while giving hints how OP overcomes some challenges of being a solo dev (e.g. therapeutic writing). May the luck be on your side :)

I like using pinta for the "easy" cases.

Good call to prevent macro expansion. Does also no big harm nowadays as there are several other ways to get good auto completion, e.g. copilot. Other than that no need to restrict functionality for power users.

Will there be an online chat version of the Bavarian model?

I wouldn't necessarily agree with this. For example, I have seen consultants recommend using Git for document versioning in medical device development.

> And a Google Group would prove to be worse, as replies too easily got lost to personal inboxes if someone accidentally didn’t “Reply All”. It wasn’t great!

Very true. Unfortunately, for our management it is, well, good enough.

I can confirm that they at minimum have technical issues with their website. I can log in, but my kit is not shown and I cannot re-register it. The dev console is full of errors.

It enjoyed nature photos of the Yellowstone national park? I rather expected it would prefer images of big data centers.

I see increased use of the NIM language in bioinformatics. An example would be https://github.com/telatin/bamtocov.

When I read All-In-One PM and CRM platform I must think of bitrix24, which I think is still widely used. I personally didn't like it because feature creep made the UI quite confusing.

Anyone aware of one supporting suggestions? I.e. the possibility to accept/decline LLM-suggested changes point by point?

Yes, better article, which also includes a picture of the "Montana Mountain King".

Would this cross-breeding be legal if conducted on a remote island with limited dangers of the introduced species to wildlife?

Yes

Re: the role of (gel) images as the key aspect of a publication. To me this is very understandable, as they convey the information in the most succinct way and also constitute the main data & evidence. Faking this is so bold that it seemed unlikely.

The good news IMO: more recent MolBio methods produce data that can be checked more rigorously than a gel image. A recent example where the evidence in form of DNA sequencing data is contested: https://doi.org/10.1128/mbio.01607-23

When you are interested in heath issues, probably yes. For hobbyist the standard coverage will be enough.

This example will highly benefit from JIT compilation, as it is already possible in cpython with the @jit decorator of numba. I assume the time benefit of Nim will eventually fade away, while you still have the benefit that every dev can understand python.
