This is how I integrate Quarto and Zotero with minimal suffering (long rambling post, scroll down to the section on bibliography or search for Zotero): cameronpatrick.com/post/2023/07...

Cameron Patrick - Some Quarto PDF formatting tips, with particular reference to thesis writing

I’ve just spent most of a day faffing around trying to get Quarto to produce a nice PDF file that I like the look of and which meets my university’s formatting requirements for a PhD thesis. Maybe my ...

Another Bactopia update!

I think the plugin is completed now! I've also started the transition from pytest to nf-test (from @lukfor.bsky.social and @sebschoenherr.bsky.social). So far nf-test has been great to work with! Haha probably should have made the transition a long time ago!

Ja. Ich verstehe was du meinst. Bei der Tageschallenge macht es so definitiv mehr Spaß. Eventuell, dass man es beim zufallsmodus optional einstellen kann? Jedenfalls hatte ich gestern viel Spaß damit, danke ✌️

Lukas Forer @lukfor.bsky.social · Jul 28

Macht Spaß 👍 wäre es event. sinnvoller, die beiden Hinweisorte in unterschiedliche Richtungen/Quadranten zu legen? Beim heutigen Rätsel zeigen beide in die gleiche Himmelsrichtung. der zweite liefert imho kaum zusätzliche Infos. Ein Ort in einer anderen Richtung wäre vielleicht hilfreicher.

As a post-GWAS analysis, ever thought about automatic haplotype testing @ each locus + test vs any number of traits?

After the millennium, I started with Delphi and made a SameGame clone—then became obsessed with card games! 🎴 I shared my games in forums and was super happy that people actually played them.

Lukas Forer @lukfor.bsky.social · Feb 15

Just found my first real game on some old floppy discs from around 1999: a Mastermind clone written in QBasic.

I remember being super happy and proud because it was the first project I actually finished instead of stopping halfway to start another idea. 👨🏻‍💻

I'd like to share DSO, a command line helper to build reproducible data science projects with ease.

It is an opinionated way to organize data science projects, built around data version control (DVC).
