I've just released MNELAB 1.0.4 (a GUI for MNE-Python, a package for analyzing EEG/MEG data), which now includes standalone installers for macOS and Windows:

Newsflash: Fliegen kann man nicht billiger machen. Man kann nur erreichen, dass die, die fliegen, weniger zahlen. Die Schäden, die dadurch entstehen, müssen von allen anderen gezahlt werden.
Hätten wir Kostenwahrheit im Transport, würden wir längst hektisch Highspeed-Zugnetze bauen.

#rstats 4.5 now includes the `penguins` data frame! 🚀

When installing #rstats on #macos, installing packages defaults to the system library. R won't use the user library (~/Library/R/arm64/4.5/library) unless I *manually* create it. On Linux and Windows, R creates this location automatically. Is this intentional? It feels unintuitive and inconsistent.

Do you use #vscode? Have you ever wanted the Explorer view in the sidebar to just show all tracked files under version control? I made a feature request, give it a thumbs up if you think it would be useful!

#Electron apps cannot be resized on #Wayland anymore, at least on #GNOME. Given that GNOME defaults to Wayland nowadays, I wonder why so few people experience this problem, since it affects VS Code, Signal, Discord, and so on. If you can help, please check out github.com/electron/ele.... #Linux

MNELAB, a GUI for #EEG/#MEG analysis in #Python, has reached the v1.0.0 milestone!

- UI improvements such as an improved sidebar
- Improved Montage dialog
- Improved Filter dialog
- A new dialog to inspect channel statistics
- Improved export to BrainVision format

Python 3.13 currently has a known issue on Windows that prevents users from pasting code snippets containing indentation into the new REPL.

The Python development team is looking for someone with Windows expertise to help test a proposed fix: github.com/python/cpyth...

#Python #Windows #VSCode

Does anyone else find it irritating that the default behavior of #RStats on #macOS installs packages to the system library instead of the user library?

I think the problem only occurs if the directory does not exist. If I manually create it, then everything works.

Is this a bug? Or is it just me?

Here's my #AdventOfCode Day 6 solution in Julia:

github.com/cbrnr/aoc202...

Not optimized at all, so Part 2 takes a few seconds, but I'm quite happy with the solution.

#julialang

Here's my #AdventOfCode Day 5 solution in #Julia:

github.com/cbrnr/aoc202...

Nothing fancy to see here (no graph-related algorithms), just some nice function vectorizations made easy in Julia. In Part 2, I simply swap items for each incorrect rule until all the rules are satisfied.

Here's my #AdventOfCode Day 4 solution in #Julia:

github.com/cbrnr/aoc202...

Fairly straightforward and OG implementation I think, I'm just manually checking all directions in a matrix of chars.

Here's my #AdventOfCode Day 3 solution in #Julia:

github.com/cbrnr/aoc202...

Part 2 took me way too long, because I was trying to create a regex which only captures multiplications between "do()" and "don't".

It was easy when I did the opposite (searching for parts between "don't()" and "do()").

Here's my #AdventOfCode Day 2 solution in #Julia:

github.com/cbrnr/aoc202...

I used the `InvertedIndices` module, which allowed me to elegantly exclude a single element from a vector. For example, to subset a vector `x` without the third item:

x[Not(3)]

(This is equivalent to x[-3] in #RStats.)
