Invading other countries and stealing their stuff is bad. Free countries should be severing any ties with the US regime right now

Yes, you can use a single stick of DDR5 for bioinformatics and data analysis, incurring only a small drop in performance.

I directly helped a single human today (someone I really don’t “know”) and it is one of the most rewarding feelings ever. Help (freely) others, folks. You know things others don’t. You have experience they do not. You are amazing. So are they. This is how we get out of this mess and thrive.

Can we please discuss accessibility at conferences?

When organizers and schedules assume that everyone can walk fast and climb stairs, people with mobility issues (visible or invisible) might feel excluded.
