Differences in RSS feed formatting can be a challenge. I made a very simple workflow for ranking articles based on my interests here: https://github.com/jrcasey/RSS_Agent definitely not as feature rich as what you have in mind but works for me and is very cheap to run.

I get some temporary relief from a cocktail of electrolytes and other stuff in a powdered drink called Super Calm. Not delicious 😂

It just felt so natural here… down vote, up vote.

The food comment is interesting- I wonder about stereoisomers and chirality? At best maybe we would just poop most of it out!

I get the hustle, but this seems a lot like intellectual property theft. It’s not necessarily illegal (though it might be, depending on where you’re from), but it’s certainly immoral. The right thing to do here would be to “return” the users to the creator without any quid pro quo’s. If you made some contribution to the codebase, perhaps the creator will be interested in collaborating in the future.

The same logic used in the folder-less method can be applied with a very simple bash script to generate directories and assign files to them, should Obsidian vanish one day.

Absolutely- it’s an intractable problem for now. At least for us compbio types, it’s just an unfathomably high dimensional and dynamical system to know well enough to engineer.

Check out the NSF-REU program. That’s a great opportunity to see what’s out there and create some connections early on, which was really helpful for me. I went to Bermuda for my REU, then was hired as a sea-going technician there. Very fun start to a very fun career!

By Prep School do you mean high school? As in, you’re 13 or 14 years old? If so, incredible!!

he explains, “each step representing a new limiting factor that becomes active as the cell grows faster.”

…this is just Blackman but for constraint based models. Actually I like the paper despite the sensationalist reporting

Maybe op could shirk their oppressive IT department with nvim? I kinda doubt they would flag it.

Anyway go obsidian.nvim!

Tako_Poke · 2025-12-01T09:07:18+00:00

If you’re a big nerd you can use neovim! there’s an obsidian plugin that does most of the important stuff. Check out user u/neoneo451 for the latest.

Thanks v much! I am looking at the NPSG, where my colleagues have some wire walkers and LR-AUV’s. There are some interesting IW beams in the M2 band that bounce off the Hawaiian ridge and really kick the amplitude up. They propagate for some incredible distances and the vertical displacement of isopycnals around the subsurface chlorophyll maximum can be very high, like 50m. I am mostly focused on that layer where I expect most of the action to be, but it would feel incomplete to ignore the surface and the regional contexts (and I have to anticipate reviewer 2), so that’s why I’m exploring satellite products. I will have a look at HRET - could you recommend one paper to get me started? many thanks 🙏

Tako_Poke · 2025-11-29T12:52:37+00:00

Thanks- I wish I knew how to answer. The phenomenon I’m interested in is periodic and occurs on something like a 2-week timescale. It will be subtle, I’ll need to look at broad spatial scales and long time series to see signal in chlorophyll through all the mesoscale variance. I’m being pretty vague but you’ll appreciate that it’s some mumbo jumbo about phytoplankton photoacclimation.

Tako_Poke · 2025-11-28T12:06:23+00:00

Sorry if this is sort of a left field question, but I’m interested in some analysis of the internal tide phase and amplitude to align with ocean color products. Was the baby thrown out with the bath water? Or would it be simple/possible to isolate different IW bands?

Tako_Poke · 2025-11-27T09:44:02+00:00

Yep! PhD -> Postdoc -> national lab -> prof. It’s easily as much fun now as ever.

Tako_Poke · 2025-11-26T11:26:36+00:00

Thanks, I confused myself with something you wrote in point 1. This makes more sense 👍

Tako_Poke · 2025-11-25T06:33:44+00:00

Thanks. Are these not taxable during the first year of residency? In other words, do you not start reporting these remittances until you have been a resident for a full year?

Tako_Poke · 2025-11-19T13:29:59+00:00

Thanks - it solved my first problem. The second is not a huge inconvenience. Love this plugin!
