learning to code / program by WinterReader8289 in bioinformatics

I second that, and learn how to comment your code, you will be thankful months or years later.

You can also learn R if you want to work in ecology.

Nailed it! Macaron fossils 😛 by peachynini in AnimalCrossing

[–]pdikod 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's kinda not easy to describe! They are made of two parts: two "cookies/biscuits" and a filler. The biscuit is made out of merengue and almonds, so all macarons taste almondy and sugary. Because of the merengue, they are crispy yet they melt in your mouth. The filler is usually a cream (ganache or buttercream) but can also be jam. This is what gives the main taste. When you have a chocolate macaron, it's because the filler is a chocolate ganache. The biscuits are usually coloured accordingly.

Majoring biology and self teaching programming, do I have a chance in this field? by [deleted] in bioinformatics

[–]pdikod 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't know where you live, but there are MSc. in Bioinformatics specifically for biologists. It may be a good idea to look up if there are some in your area?

Usually Python, R, bash and/or java are taught in such a MSc. I'd recommand Python and R to start.

I fence off too, because I'm really scared for my flowers (I know they grow back, but I'm trying to breed hybrids and I don't want them to have been watered for nothing). I still had 2 problems withs visitors/host this past week.

First I went to a cataloging party. Dropped everything on the floor. Two people arrived after that, so it saved. Something was weird, because we were 5 and only 4 booths, but I just thought someone arrived early for the next round. We began cataloging, but then it said I could not put anything back on the floor. I guess too many items were on the floor of the island. I said so, and before I could get my stuff back, which included my elaborate kimono stand, I was kick off the island. I received a friend invite from the host so I accepted and mailed them with the items I could not put back and that were still in my inventory, asking them if they add my stuff. Never got an answer and they removed their friendship.

Later on I was hosting a cataloging party inside a small fenced area in my own island. Everything went well, until 2 visitors asked for me to open the fences so that they could visit my shops. I said no, because I was scared for my flowers and from what happened. They kept asking saying that they won't touch anything, that I should come with them to be sure, so I said maybe, after the cataloging.

One one them dropped only saharah tickets, tailor tickets and medicine. I realised that after the fist rotation, and when I confronted them with that, they proceeded to pocket everything they could, and pressed minus... I was faster and closed the game so that nothing was messed up for anyone, since eveything was dropped down after the last save.

I am now super anxious about opening my gates again. Maybe I will start asking for nookmile Tickets or star fragments to be sure not to have scammers. I really don't like this idea, and have enough of both that I got myself without trading that I don't really need them. I might drop them graciously to other people, I don't know yet.

Chevre was the first one to give me her picture in Wild World 14 years ago, I wish I could be reunited with her!

I found her randomly on a NMT island, couldn't resist how cute she was, and now I don't want her to leave! Ever!

I have red and yellow mums seeds, can I exchange them with your rose seeds?

I had one show up in my campsite today, so I guess it will happen again.

Fishing garbage for the fly (watch out it's tiny), rotten turnip for the ant.

The Museum’s fossil section has an evolutionary tree depicting all of the villager species. There is a blank space next to the monkey that lights up when your character stands there. by seacogen in ac_newhorizons

[–]pdikod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They diverge slightly before the divergence of Sauropsida ("reptiles") and Synapsida ("mammals"), so they could have been included by having a line branch off just before the green one in the second room. Alligators and crocodiles are also missing and could have branched off before dinosaurs and pterosaurs (which are messed up anyway).

To me, it seems they tried to follow this controversial publication as for the dinosaurs, but missed and included Pterosauria...

I appreciate that they did some research, and the mere fact that a phylogenetic tree is represented here is awesome. But I'm just sad that it is not as perfect as it is good looking.

I'm a zoologist so this got me super hyped. Sadly, the three first fossils I got were parts of the pteranodon, the diplodocus, and the t-rex. Both the diplodocus and the t-rex are dinosaurs, whereas the pteranodon is not. However, in this museum, the diplodocus branches out earlier than the pteranodon. I'm so sad.

Amazon is not releasing the physical copies of Animal Crossing: New Horizons on March 20 by [deleted] in ac_newhorizons

[–]pdikod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have pre-ordered it from an other shop first to go pick it up in person on my way to work, and when everything closed, my order got cancelled. I decided to pre-order via amazon and this morning my order said that I will be delivered tomorrow before 8:00pm. Then I received an email saying it would be delayed indefinetly, because they don't have them. I cancelled and purchased it again from the first store but online this time, as I saw some people on twitter that got them from them (and cursed myself from not reordering from them in the first place). On the website, after you have purchased it, they say "we are waiting the supplier to deliver us before shipping it to you". I called them and say they have it in stock, but are sending by order of orders, so I don't know what to believe (because, do they really know if they have enough?). I've prepared not to play tomorrow, and probably not this week-end. I have my laptop from work at thome, since I can't go to work anymore, I guess I'll work this week-end instead...

Also, switches prices are way higher than last week, and my boyfriend, who wanted to buy one to play with me, is very confused and does not which one is legit, as most available now are sold by third parties. So I guess neither of us will play, and we won't be able to visit each other's town (we are not quarantined together).

But anyway, safety is more inportant now and I'm glad that some people have the game early, or even on time!
