What a beautiful day for a hike up Ben More on Mull.
Stunning scenery, but a pretty wet path after yesterday's rain.

Germinate will now prefer the 'display name' over the internal unique identifier when exporting or visualizing data. The 'display name' is set during import using the 'ACCENAME' field in the MCPD. If none is specified Germinate will automatically use 'ACCENUMB' as the display name.

Import status errors can now occur multiple times. Prevously each error type was only shown a single time to prevent huge lists of errors when thousands of issues are found in the input. Now some error types - those we don't expect to see in huge numbers - can be reported back multiple times.

Germinate now supports QBMS (starting with QBMS v2.0.0), an R package used to interact with BrAPI data providers. Find out more on the QBMS Germinate page.

Germinate now offers a complete command-line interface (CLI). Currently, this supports data import via the Germinate Data Templates. Please refer to the CLI documentation for more information.

A screenshot of an exemplar help output of the Germinate Command Line Interface. The command executed is `java -jar germinate-4.9.0.jar import genotype excel --help`. This shows the help information for the genotypic data import in Excel format.

There's a realistic chance we get to a position where Wikipedia is blocked while official government accounts are posting on a site that created MechaHitler AI

Replication Crisis

xkcd.com/3117/

4-panel comic. (1) [Person 1 with ponytail flanked by person with short hair and another person speaking into microphone at podium] PERSON 1: In the early 2010s, researchers found that many major scientific results couldn’t be reproduced. (2) PERSON 1: Over a decade into the replication crisis, we wanted to see if today’s studies have become more robust. (3) PERSON 1: Unfortunately, our replication analysis has found exactly the same problems that those 2010s researchers did.

First trip to Wales and what a beautiful place it is! We've been really lucky with the weather and the absence of midges make it so much more enjoyable than other trips we've done.
