If you bike, take a look at www.shift2bikes.org for bike related happenings. We're not quite to pedalpalooza yet, but things are ramping up. This past Saturday had nine events.

Endless vegetarian food -- you could easily go only to pure veg restaurants. Suggestions would depend on where you'll be and types of food you enjoy. Take a look at HappyCow for everything from food truck to upscale options. Plus, almost everywhere else is veg friendly.

Can we work on faster trains instead?

Once upon a time (96? 97?), my friends and I registered zorg.edu (The Zorg Marine Biological - if I recall correctly.) It survived a few years, until we failed to show any form of actual academic affiliation. 🙃

Nope -- FRA-CLT

Right on red needs to go away. If drivers stop at all, it's only after pulling all the way into the crosswalk.

It's a pleasure to bike in Europe without this behavior!

Ooh, I get the rare color photo :)

Yeah… it’s not pretty.

I don’t think we have a best practices for this. @joshmoore.bsky.social may have more thoughts on this…

Most tools currently check for .zattrs or zarr.json to determine the version.

You’ll find .zattrs with the Zarr v2 version of the data, which we currently reference from images.jax.org: storage.googleapis.com/jax-public-n...

Part of the problem is that the NGFF challenge data is in Zarr v3 format. Instead of .zattrs, you get zarr.json: storage.googleapis.com/jax-public-n...

I suspect we'll make progress at next week's OME-NGFF hackathon [ ema.uzh.ch/RM3FJ ]. Java is one of tracks, and John will be in attendance... I'm hoping we get standardized support for transforms done (including both multiscale and multimodality)

Correct. Data listing *is* disabled, but that is not a problem for NGFF. Fortunately, one does not have to guess filenames, thats's what the spec is for.

Can you try the links at bsky.app/profile/perl... ?

We don't allow data listing. If you click through the links above, the NGFF validator has no trouble accessing the data.

What Zarr client or viewer are you using to access the data? The N5-Java libraries used to expect local filesystem semantics (like list) but I thought that had been fixed.

Here are validator links for both versions of the data:

v2: ome.github.io/ome-ngff-val...

v3: ome.github.io/ome-ngff-val...

What Zarr library are you using? Does it support v3 w/ sharding?

Can you try the Zarr v2 version of the data?
storage.googleapis.com/jax-public-n...

I am team window all the way. It's easier when there are no shades and you can look forward as well 😉. (These are from my flight to Friday Harbor Marina from South Lake Union)

The staff at BWI were happy to be working again. (It was sad to hear that contract staff were basically unpaid for the duration of the grounding.)

I'll be on one in a few hours! Today may be my first Alaska travel day of 2024 to go remotely close to plan. 🤞
