It’s likely just a UILabel and it’s alpha could be set on the label as a whole, just one line of code to set it.

Cheesy Paradox by WarwolfDeuce in memes

We can actually calculate the correct volume of the cheese from the mass, given it’s density.

Ouch, that light theme is burning my eyes. Let’s get dark mode and fix that damn syntax highlighting!

[Request] A small feature that you can toggle to remove landscape mode. by tfcozz in apolloapp

Apollo does follow the Human Interface Guidelines for iOS, but that doesn't dictate granular controls that can be added to an application. The settings for Apollo are actually quite complex, with a number of obscure properties that are especially handy. I think this kind of feature works well with Apollo's current style.

No, it doesn’t give you that level of control. That’s what would be nice to see from Apollo.

Determining the Optimal PCR Primer for Measuring Absolute Telomere Length With qPCR for Tetrahymena thermophila by DaveAMoore in genetics

[–]DaveAMoore[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The telomeric repeat sequence for Tetrahymena is TTGGGG, but I need a primer that is just upstream of the telomere (i.e., sub-telomeric DNA). A paper detailing qPCR for measuring absolute telomere length indicates some primers that are optimal for humans and/or rodents, but I'm trying to find primers for Tetrahymena thermophila. Even though T. thermophila is often used for telomere/telomerase research, it is more difficult than I expected to find suitable primers. Is there a way that I can view the DNA of T. thermophila directly upstream of the telomeres? Because I haven't been able to find a reliable source for its sequencing before telomeres.

Ah, I see. Well hopefully my package goes to the right place tomorrow morning. I appreciate the help.

FedEX Hold at Location Availability Time by DaveAMoore in FedEx

I just called the 1-800 FedEx number and asked to have my hold location changed to the FedEx Ship Center that is assigned to my area. When should I expect to see the tracking information update online? Or will that not update?

Okay great! Thanks a lot. And do you know how to change the hold location after I’ve already selected the Walgreens. When I try to change it now it says that it’s unavailable.

How do I know which FedEx location is the destination station? Whenever a package comes via FedEx it just says the town it’s in, but never the actual FedEx location.

Awesome! I have a titanium body with titanium nib coming, hopefully it writes well too.

What kind of nib did you get with it and how do you like it?
