I've been playing with phind.com for a few days and am satisfied. As an AI-powered search engine for developers and technical people, its answers and generated code are much better than ChatGPT. It gets the information live from the internet, and most importantly, it gives you references and points to do a deeper search.

It's been a month since starting a job outside academia and the biggest difference so far? No constant 24/7 competition! Not missing that one!

Are you a dedicated #WezTerm user?

I was laid off in November. One potential path forward for me is sustainable wezterm sponsorships from people like you.

If you are in a position to provide recurring support, even if it is just $1/month, I'd appreciate it. I'd appreciate more even more ๐Ÿ˜‰

I'm set up on the following platforms:

github.com/sponsors/wez

patreon.com/WezFurlong

ko-fi.com/wezfurlong

As part of the new added chapters and upcoming updates to juliadatascience.io we have new cheat sheets for plotting Makie functions. Second printed edition is coming soon. However, you can support the project today by donating here: opencollective.com/juliadatasc #books #coding #datascience #datavis #julialang #makie

During the last two weeks, I presented some of my work on modeling bacteria at three different institutes in Germany. Using for that project opened up discussions! One of the groups is considering using it; the other two are already taking advantage of it! I'm not so sure about the ML stuff, but I'm pretty sure Julia is becoming increasingly popular among people interested in computational science and simulation.

He has a massive number of followers on Twitter, so please say hi and help him with his withdrawal symptoms in this calmer, happier place.

Say you're working at the REPL, and get an ERROR message with a Stacktrace. To look up the fourth method in the call chain, just type 4 and press Ctrl-Q. Your editor will instantly be opened, with the cursor on the location where that method is defined.

Also works for the results of `methods` and `methodswith` calls; just use the number in square brackets next to the method you want. Such a neat little quality-of-life feature of the REPL.

Dear friends,

I have a "Programming with Julia" course on Udemy. I plan to publish Julia for DS and ML courses next year.

I use all my monthly promotion limit to give away free coupons.

Current free link is below and I will share new ones along the way.

I'd be very happy if you could share this with those who would be interested.

And all your feedback is more than welcome.

Interesting to see the flux of people, as well as scientists, joining these days! Thank you, Elon Musk!

Hey, so, we've hit 1,028,362 monthly active users across the network today. 1,124 new Mastodon servers since Oct 27, and 489,003 new users. That's pretty cool.

He enjoys physics just like his parents! Or he likes big blackboards!

Recently, I started using Julia and Molly.jl for modeling loop-extrusion and in general active polymers. That's why scripts on those repos are kind of abandoned and are only for hoomd v2.9.x. However if someone wants to use hoomd for such modeling, they can be useful.

Running intensive simulations, we benchmark active loop-extrusion, SBS polymer model and a hybrid model made of those, in reproducing exp. contact and distance data measured in IMR90 and HCT116 cells.

Scripts for running simulations (using HOOMD 2.9.x) can be found here:
github.com/ehsanirani/PhaseSep

Also, the loop-extrusion script can be used independently, available on @codeberg@mastodon.technology :

Happy to finally see our work on coexistence of loop-extrusion and polymer phase-separation in chromatin folding at the single-molecule level, published in Nature Communications:

@OfficialLoganK@twitter.com was asking about the most favorite and underappreciated package in Julia. It is my reply to him:

Right now I am playing with Molly.jl, it sounds quite useful for my own research (after JAX-MD that I use on gpu). And it is under very rapid and active development which is a plus.
