Born in 1885, Clara Belle Williams became the 1st Black graduate of New Mexico College of Agriculture & Mechanic Arts (now NMSU).
While a student, many professors did not allow her into lecture halls so she took notes from the hallway. When she graduated in 1937, commencement ceremonies were canceled bc a group of students refused to walk with her.
Williams persevered despite discrimination, earning recognition as a teacher & lifelong learner. libexhibits.nmsu.edu/onlinexhi… #HistoryRemix #history

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?

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.

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?
Apple's Response to iPhone 4 Antenna Problem: You're Holding It Wrong
There’s an old joke about a man who visits a doctor, complaining that his arm hurts whenever he moves it a certain way. The doctor’s response? “Stop moving it that way.Dylan Tweney (WIRED)
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. 😀

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.
