Minimalist or maximalist? The life of a #microbe a mile underground
phys.org/news/2023-11-minimali… paper: ami-journals.onlinelibrary.wil…
Magdalena Osburn: "The deep subsurface #biosphere is enormous; it's just a vast amount of space... Many of the #microbes we found were either minimalist: ultra-streamlined with one job that it does very well alongside a close consortium of collaborators, or it can do a little bit of everything. These maximalists are ready for every resource that comes along."
Minimalist or maximalist? The life of a microbe a mile underground
If you added up all the microbes living deep below Earth's surface, the amount of biomass would outweigh all life within our oceans.Amanda Morris (Phys.org)

Ongoing shuffling of protein fragments diversifies core viral functions linked to interactions with bacterial hosts - Nature Communications
Proteins are composed of distinct functional domains, each serving a specific role. Here, Smug et al. show that phages are able to shuffle fragments of their proteins and this predominantly occurs in proteins involved in bacterial host interactions.Nature

From the archives of RTÉ (Ireland's national broadcaster): This show was recorded in 1962 about the establishment of the signal towers for rural radio and television broadcast.
In it an engineer named John O'Keefe described how they chose the sites for masts in an unusual way. Rather than the usual process using contour maps, they made a 3D model of Ireland and placed lights on hills to see how signal would travel. From about 20 mins in here: rte.ie/archives/2012/1022/3426…
A linked question to #mastodaoine : I know this is a long shot, but in the documentary that I linked in the last toot, I'd love to know if anyone knew/knew about the engineer John O'Keefe, pictured here.
This was in 1962, and O'Keefe must be in their 50s at the youngest, so over 100 now. More likely there might be a death notice, a living relative, or someone that worked with them. Would be grateful for any help.
This is the beginning stages of a new art project on the five regional transmitters in Ireland.
I'm already hooked on the amazing consequences of the banal publication from the European Broadcasting Conference of 1952 (Stockholm), and how frequencies were allocated to different countries.
The steel imported from Norway, electronics from Britain, and regulations decided in Sweden already spread this so far. A single object like a signal tower can have complex social and material relationships.

in reply to Brodie Robertson • • •how to learn rust
step 1. buy thigh high socks, a skirt and cat ears
step 2. set pronouns in your bio
step 3. ask god for a "be-a-jerk" pill
step 4. tell everyone that you use rust
step 5. don't forget to tell every soul that you use rust
step 6. rewrite a couple utils from c to rust and call it next-gen
step 7. don't actually learn rust, just let the intellisense do the job for you, but tell everyone that you write code in ed on arch linux and know rust 125%
a bit complex, yea

in reply to Brodie Robertson • • •For learning Rust, here are few projects a beginner can work on to get used to with the borrow checker. I recommend beginners to learn the standard library before diving into third party libraries.
Beginner Projects
- Socket Programming (std::net)
- CLI Program (std::env)
- Simple File program (std::fs)
