As an outsider to the scientific community, I wanted to know more about whatever the heck Parafilm is. I’ve definitely been educated 😆

That’s why I’m rooting for Ladybird.
Keeping “muscles make the body move” was artistic brilliance 🤌


I had a course in college that used this book, and I’d definitely recommend it.


I used to feel this way. Over the course of building out 2 calendar systems in my career (so far) and having to learn the intricacies of date and time-related data types and how they interact with time zones, I don’t have much disdain for time zones. I’d suggest for anyone who feels the same way as this meme read So You Want To Abolish Time Zones.
Also, programmers tend to get frustrated with time zones when they run into bugs around time zone conversion. This is almost always due to the code being written in a way that disregards the existence of times zones until it’s needed and then tacks on the time zone handling as an afterthought.
If any code that deals with time takes the full complexities of time zones into account from the get-go (which isn’t that hard to do), then it’s pretty straightforward to manage.


I tried Warp back when it first came out, but haven’t really considered switching to it since then. What do you really love about it?


As a JetBrains Mono user for the past couple of years, I used Monaspace all day this past Friday to try it out, and it was not for me. The oval shape of JetBrains Mono glyphs is so aesthetically pleasing to me, and I don’t think I’d be able to switch to another font that doesn’t have similar styling.
I don’t know exactly what environment you’re working, but Postgres has a reputation as the best DBMS to work with from a developer’s perspective. I definitely feel that way, at least.
What type of lab are you working in, and what other technologies do you work with?


I changed my VS Code theme to Dracula around Halloween 2016 for fun. I never changed it back.
There’s nothing more open source than Git. It’s open source software created to support the development of open source software. I’d bet that the vast majority of projects named in this thread are developed using Git.
Also, that’s a really cool project!
So you’re saying there’s a chance?
