Looking for some suggestions - I'm working with Archaeal genomic regions whose optimally fitting model seems to be Tamura-Nei (doi.org/10.1093/oxfordjournals…).

Would it be too much to suspect the Archaeal region is under similar types of evolutionary pressure?

in reply to naturepoker

if it's just model fit with something like Iqtree I would follow up with something more specific, or look at the difference with the next best model.

@foaylward
With the speediness of the current ML tools, why not just take a data set and run it using the plethora of models, including fully customised ones in RAxML-ng, and just test, if there's any critical effect on the topology by e.g. comparing the ML-BS supports across models for the same splits.

Can they do that with the rest of their games so we can finally ditch that god-awful launcher they keep trying to push?

@peoplearecute at least in Standard settings, it installs the prefixes deep inside steam Filesystem, I would therefore guess it requires steam OS, but not sure. On a Linux PC I would probably check lutris or heroic launcher.

@benoegen @peoplearecute all the files will be inside the .steam folder in your home

It should work fine on normal Linux desktops, as long as they don’t hardcode the deck username (which i personally submitted code previously to stop them doing)

I have one of these. Had a really hard time deciding between Capcom and Taito, but in the end Elevator Action beat out 1943 for me. I love the thing!

software design musing, NTFS

i recently watched a great talk about how NTFS isn't as bad as it's made out to be, and while i appreciate the host's patience with microsoft and hesitation to jump on the "this is bad because it's not how unix-likes do it" bandwagon...

i have to wonder, if you can get such a massive speedup by spawning another thread whose sole purpose is to close file handles... it kind of feels like a "you're holding it wrong" moment. like, why does the obvious way (open file, write, close) have such a massive performance penalty? why should tar (and rsync, and 7zip, and...) have to have a windows exclusive feature where it spins up a handle closing thread when every other system tar runs on doesn't need it? why does otherwise single-threaded software need to do this?

in reply to Ronflaix

@Ronflaix
correct on the first part. however, if i'm understanding the talk correctly, other platforms allow the close call to go through immediately, and then the kernel takes over the work of making sure all that stuff happens while the process continues on to its next file operation


Tomorrow evening (tuesday 6th, 22:00 CET) local upper-austrian radio station Radio FRO will be airing a #faircamp special, created and hosted by @fadimat. Expect two hours of music exclusively from the faircamp universe (!! (╯✧▽✧)╯), and a brief appearance of mine as a guest on the show. Don't forget your universal translators, the talking bits will be in german. 😀

[Update: Corrected the post - there will be _two_ hours of music 👍 (one more than I announced originally ;))]

My @Mastodon mug made it back unscathed from #fosdem2024!

Great to see everyone, the Mastodon stand looked super busy every single time I passed it, and it was incredible to see so many toots on the FOSDEM hashtags

Do you, or have you ever, used a graphical user interface? If you use #Windows, #macOS, or any version of #Linux with a window manager or desktop environment, you can thank Dr. Clarence "Skip" Ellis.

Dr. Ellis worked at Xerox PARC, the research organization that developed the modern GUI. Icons, windows, the mouse, Ethernet-based networking, laser printing - all of these (and more) came out of PARC. Dr. Ellis led the team that created Officetalk, the first program to use icons and the Internet. He got his start at 15 years old showing a local tech company how to reuse punch cards, which was a game-changer back in 1958.

Oh, and he was also the first black man to earn a PhD in Computer Science.

I'm not certain if those are the best examples of "narratively science fiction". I love Star Trek, but it frequently wanders into fantasy. People have any ideas for replacements?
in reply to Muse

I agree that Star Trek is more fantasy than sci-fi. It just has a gloss of technobabble that something like Star Wars lacks, but it's essentially just as fantastical.
in reply to Muse

The Expanse series would fit fairly well in the upper right quadrant, I think. It has extra-scientific elements to it, but comparatively it's pretty hard.

I'm really grateful for @aumouvantsillage's Sozi project. It's a fun way to make creative presentations with nothing but open source and open standards. sozi.baierouge.fr/

I haven't used it in years, but am back in action prepping for my #GovernableSpaces talks.

Today at #Fosdem2024 I had the opportunity to get my #Mastodon official mug <img class=" title=":mastodon:"/> and the honor to shake hands with @Gargron. :blobaww:

In my fanboy moment I shared with him my deep gratitude for saving my digital life from the evil corps that were dominating the public discourse until the rise of the #fediverse. <img class=" title=":fediverse:"/>

Thanks Eugen for paving the way to the freedom we enjoy in our communities! :mastodance: :mastolove:



sappy, also lynne fanart

@lynnesbian I needed to make fanart of the smortest bune

when I first showed up on masto, I was alone on my instance, but finding people like lynne was what made me stay here and love it so much.
Everything she does, from the lynnebot, to the lynne teaches tech, to the goo morrnings and goo nights, and the absolutely hilarious threads is just fucking superb and I'm filled with nothing but love and respect for the incredible bune kween

in reply to puffball: trianglemancer

we can both feel ancient because i found a version i made where i overlaid it over my mastodon ebooks code haha


"Write code for the web" by Manav Rathi mrmr.io/apple

This is from an iOS developer, but as an Android developer, I came to basically the same conclusion 10 years ago. The web isn't perfect, but it's a near-universal platform not owned by anybody.

in reply to Nolan Lawson

Personally, I got tired of Google's constant breaking changes with every Android version, and all the hoops I had to jump through just to keep my apps listed. Whereas whatever garbage I put on the web 20 years ago still works today.

An investment in learning the web (even dumb stuff like document.all or document.write) still pays dividends decades later. Whereas all my old Android API knowledge is just gone, like tears in the rain.

in reply to Nolan Lawson

The biggest danger to the web IMO is the emerging Google-Apple duopoloy, and the fact that whatever bugs existed in WebKit at the time of the Blink split will just be "how the web works." This is why projects like Servo, Ladybird, and Flow are so important – they prove you can still build a browser from scratch, just based on the spec. (And thank heavens for the spec writers who made this possible.)


apparently eb games and jb hifi both stopped selling the physical diablo battlechest in around 2018

Interessant om @Mastodon oprichter @Gargron te ontmoeten tijdens #fosdem en de potentie en uitdagingen van Mastodon te bespreken.



New podcast!

Tokens: The Future of Money in the Age of the Platform (gang gang mmm ice cream so good)

I spoke to Rachel O'Dwyer about her new book Tokens about the history of tokens, how tokens are both more and less than money, and the way tokens have been for social control.

We also talk about the affordances of tokens and some advice for those designing tokens.

Hilfe | Friendica: Probleme beim Folgen eines anderen Friendica Accounts


Hallo Zusammen, ich habe das Problem das ich wenn ich von meinem Friendica Account @Raven 🏴 (social.aghd.org/profile/raven) dem Friendica Account @Sascha 😎 🏴 (loma.ml/profile/sascha) zu folgen folgende Meldung bekomme:

Von @Sascha 😎 🏴 kann ich dem Account @Raven 🏴 ebenfalls nicht folgen. Auffällig ist dabei das dessen Profilbild nicht korrekt angezeigt wird und auch die aktuellen Beiträge nicht

Versuche ich den Account dann zu folgen kommt folgendes:

Nach einigen Tests scheint das Problem vor allen im Zusammenspiel von loma.ml und social.aghd.org zu liegen.

Wo könnte das Problem liegen?
