Started Annihilation the other day and I respect this protagonist a hell of a lot more than the usual scientists run amok.

Unrelated to mim itself, but this is also the first preprint I've prepared in @typst.app rather than LaTeX. It was soooo much nicer. Folks; what are we doing? Why don't our journals accept manuscript sources in Typst!
Ok; mim (github.com/COMBINE-lab/...) preprint submitted! Excited for folks to see it and share thoughts. The key takeaway; mim allows the quick, one-time, building of a small auxiliary index that then allows scaling gzipped FASTQ parsing linearly in # of threads. 1/2

At this point, I'd just recommend all developers to disable comments. There is no reason to believe that this problem will go away any time soon. No one seems to be doing any meaningful work on it. No reason to keep yourself busy with deleting several spam comments a day. It's not worth the hassle.

Hell is Us figuring out how to make souls-like combat work beyond 1 vs 1 duels is one thing
Basing most of the combat experience on 2+ vs 1 is amazing

Heaven from Hell? Blue skies from pain?
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil? Do you think you can tell?

You know it's kinda funny how the ending phrase for Grimm's fairy tales is "they lived happily ever after" while in German it's "And if they didn't die, they are alive to this day" (und wenn sie nicht gestorben sind, so leben sie noch heute). Which is probably a bit less cheerful.

Your Thanksgiving gravy tastes better when you use union mushrooms. Let's give a huge thanks to workers like "Adan" who harvest mushrooms for Monterey Mushrooms under a UFW contract. On an average day, he picks 240-280 of the blue baskets you see in this vid. #WeFeedYou

New year’s resolution: no more arguing with ignorant internet strangers who refuse to update on evidence. No more engaging with people who will never change their minds and cannot summon a shred of empathy for the other.
Fuck ‘em.

Watched Flow for the first time tonight and I am fascinated by the mirror theme.
Magical realism? It can have a little, as a treat.

Looking for a philosophical or at least physical account of why we started considering complex-valued analytic (in the sense of signals) extensions of the electromagnetic field.
Every account I have in my library just kind of does it without even saying the words “analytic signal.”
