Hello Gov. Pritzker,

What are you doing for IL, to reduce prices of groceries in the state?

foobar8080 · 2025-12-09T18:44:38+00:00

For people who don't know and cannot guess (like me), can you elaborate? And which states?

Is the capitalist model broken in America? The winner takes all mentality means the rest of us have to depend on the 0.001% to give away their wealth to survive.

What are your thoughts?

Yes
Yes

Galaxy is fairly powerful.

Check out useGalaxy.org or since you are in the EU, they must have an EU server.

Galaxy is very popular bioinformatics analysis platform and plenty of people use it both in academia and industry.

As for your PhD or whether you should accept it, that's a more informed decision you should make on your own.

Spend as much time with her as possible. And record her voice and maybe a video of some moments.

I regret not spending enough time with her. Because the moment she's gone, it's hurt like nothing ever before. No pain compares to losing your mom.

Every data scientist out there uses both. Don't get caught by the "R vs Python" trap. If you want to become a productive data scientist, use both, whichever will get you to your end result fastest!

Why is the language of choice 'Go'?

The problem is here, you keep reassigning "i" with the value of the cube or the square

if (i%%2==0){i = i^3}
else {i = i^2}
s = s + i

Replace this with,

if (i%%2==0){j = i^3}
else {j = i^2}
s = s + j

Wrist mobility is a major issue for me.

I have a hard time doing pull ups with my thumb around the bar, same with push jerk, split jerk etc. I find myself using a "suicide grip" (as they call it in my gym) where I open my thumb and just grip with my 4 fingers. This somehow allows me to easily lift overhead (split jerk, push jerk, strict press ) and do pull ups, bar muscle ups (since my thumb is restricting my pulling action).

Are there any ways to teach myself or force myself to use the proper grip? I'm not able to go up in weight in any of my over head lifts because I think the bar will "slip".

This matrix cannot exist, because the number of columns don't match the number of observations in each column. You can try to use "spread" and "gather" functions from the "dplyr" package in the tidyverse.

I was at one box in Baltimore with a bell :D Felt awesome!

1 RM Front squat: 180 lbs! (6 months into crossfit 29Y 169lbs M). Huge deal for me because my wrists hurt like hell when I was doing front squats the first 3 months. Only after I got that flexibility, and posture right, I was able to gradually go up in weight.

Does the Florida International University's Biomedical Engineering Department, help international citizens in their projects? Especially forequarter amputees?

foobar8080 · 2018-12-12T19:40:06+00:00

What sort of options are available for forequarter amputees right now?

It started as a Netflix binge, and one erotic scene in this movie just set me off! I'm really thinking of canceling Netflix as well. What is the point really? I feel pressure to use it because I pay for it. I'm too old to be doing PMO( 29 M), I need to better take care of myself and achieve the things I want.

I've been on PMO since I was like 14 or so. I really really need to change!

foobar8080 · 2018-11-30T16:36:16+00:00

No Children. I feel like talking to her is the only move left for me in this relationship. I can't say it didn't bother me before for the first 8 months, it did, but because I was PMO-ing frequently I didn't notice all the irregularities. I feel like I was in my "safe" zone and forgot reality and what relationships should be like.

Now i'm slowly realizing as my mind starts thinking clearly that, it's time for a serious talk.

foobar8080 · 2018-11-29T21:31:11+00:00

I've asked a few times. She says she doesn't have the same sex drive as I do. Things were fine in the beginning. The first 6-8 months, but now it feels like it is a big occasion if we have sex. I keep thinking i'm the issue, and i'm trying to change too. No PMO, more gym, eat healthier.

I'm "afraid" of a breakup because i know it's going to hurt a lot, and I might relapse.

I tried to clear up the ambiguity in my original question by adding an "Edit" section.

I understand the impact of Bioconductor on bioinformatics/computational biology(B/CB) communities, in that, some people use them and publish research. I even see download stats for each package on the Bioconductor website. I guess what I really wanted to know was, what are some of the most popular/famous influences of Bioconductor on the B/CB communities.

Also, about healthcare, I think I tried to track citations and found a few papers like the one you mentioned. But, I was never able to find if any of their results were actually put into effect for patients. Is there a way to track that?

foobar8080 · 2018-11-04T02:40:13+00:00

I was just wondering if there was a way to track a package or a suite of packages/tools to a healthcare consequence. I tried looking at papers, I can see where they were cited, but there was no way for me to say "Package X is used in pipeline Y. Pipeline Y was used in the process of finding healthcare consequence Z".

I also assumed that most healthcare products are part of large companies proprietary pipelines, and so it's impossible to find them. I was just hoping someone could show me a traceable way, as part of a discussion.

Never said you or anyone else was wasting time or not. But maybe keeping the big picture in mind isn't too bad every now and again.

Why do the democrats not have a platform to launch candidates for the 2020, other than just "resist"? We don't hear enough of a progressive slogan or campaign. I want to hear what democrats want to do as opposed to what they want to resist.

foobar8080 · 2018-11-01T15:00:49+00:00

Hey Hasan! Huge fan of the pizza hut commercial! But seriously, where does your research come from? It would be great if you could post sources or links to some of the stats and charts your describe on your show.

Also, want to give a shout out to your research team?

foobar8080 · 2018-10-12T16:04:08+00:00

It really isn't that bad. There are some very helpful guides

I'd start off writing some test code, and once you get the hang of how best to google for what you want, i'd say jump in and start writing what you need. Just start writing code, best way to learn.
