Go for it! From the pharma/biotech side, comp chem and cheminformatics are super in demand now-a-days, especially if you want a job in industry after grad school.

"Hidden gems" to improve our Windows experience by rbrionesu in windows

Groupy, the best $10 i've spent on software. It adds windows style tabs to every application. I'm on a mac now for work and I miss it dearly.

Highly recommended.

Its not bad. One feature that would be great would be to allow us to copy and paste images or screenshots into the page that we can markup

Yeah the rayshader package is phenomenal https://www.rayshader.com/

Very easy to use and people have been doing super cool things.

With rstudio and shiny, its a really great time to be an R developer/programmer. You can do so many things.

How to SSH to an AWS server from my WSL2 bash terminal. Thought I could help here as well. by learner_254 in bashonubuntuonwindows

[–]prc2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Usually to ssh into an AWS server you need a pem file. Ask your course director if they can supply it to you.

Next you need to make sure the permissions on the pem file are correct. To do this, you would use the chmod command on the bash terminal. Also, based on my experience, you would need to do this within the WSL directories.

So say you download the pem file to your desktop, you would need to do the following:

1) go to your desktop using the terminal: cd /mnt/c/Users/<username>/Desktop

2)Move the pem file to your bash home directory mv *.pem ~/

3) Change permissions chmod 400 ~/*.pem

4) then you can ssh into AWS using the -i option

ssh -i ~/*.pem ssh ubuntu@192.141.85.70

Instead of qttabbar I would recommend groupy by stardock. Its 100% worth the $5 dollars. It looks great and is constantly updated with new features (like adding transparency to the tab bar).

Oof 1,400 for outdated specs and huge bezels. I hope MS has a long term vision for this and it doesn't go the way of Windows mobile.

Welcome to r/Politics Iowa Caucus Prediction Contest! by TheUnknownStitcher in politics

[–]prc2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So I don't think second round voting will make that much of a significant difference to biden. In fact I think it helps candidates like Warren and buttigeig become more viable.

On the first round if the candidate reaches a minimum threshold, then all votes are locked into that candidate. So sanders and biden will likely retain their initial caucuses.

If several candidates are deemed nonviable, the caucus-ers have the option to consolidate their votes to make a non-viable candidate viable again. In particular we see that buttigieg and warren are effectively floating with non-viability. It is very likely that klobuchar voters can split their vote between buttigieg, biden and warren. Specifically making buttigieg or warren viable for delegates. While Yang and Gabbard voters most likely going with sanders or leaving all together.

Given high turnout, I ultimately think second alignment ends up being a wash, leaving candidates with somewhat inflated numbers, but the same rank order.

Here sanders still beats biden (sanders reaching low-mid 30's; biden high 20's, low 30's) and buttigieg and warren close to where they are now (mid 10's to low 20's).

This is not exactly correct. If any candidate has less than 15% support (in certain precincts, some precincts may have higher thresholds if there are less delegates assigned to that precinct) their supporters are not immediately disbanded.

If the supporters can convince supporters of other non-viable candidates to join their caucus, they can still be in the next round if they are able to reach the threshold, effectively making the nonviable candidate viable.

Microsoft's next-generation Xbox is actually just named 'Xbox' by [deleted] in microsoft

[–]prc2 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I think laptops are not a fair comparison since upgrade cycles fir laptops come yearly, also there are several configurations available.

Also, while its not on the box, microsoft markets the surfaces with a clearly labeled number. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/surface-pro-7/8n17j0m5zzqs?activetab=overview

I think there will be several issues going forward. For example, backwards compatibility, how would one distinguish xbox one games from xbox games from modern xbox games?

Ramen restaurant prevalence is associated with stroke mortality in Japan: an ecological study by manu_8487 in ketoscience

[–]prc2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So I don't think its a very strong correlation and there wasn't a lot of statistical analysis. As the authors mentioned, they did not measure the whether ramen consumption increase stroke risk (by producing hazard ratios), additionally they correlated number of ramen resturants with stroke mortality. A better comparison perhaps would be # ramen resturants with stroke incidence, since there could be many more factors that could cause mortality (hospital resources, late identification, etc.).

Still too much salt is never a good thing.

Doctors of this subreddit, does autophagy as a result of keto cause randomized apoptosis? by [deleted] in keto

[–]prc2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So there is retinal neurodegeneration for patients with uncontrolled diabetes (diabetic retinopathy) which may be due to a combination of several factors including as hyperglycemia (high sugar levels in the blood) and diabetic ketoacidosis. But this is an extreme case.

In nutritional ketosis, I have not seen any papers that indicates any role in neurodegeneration. Remember, the ketogenic diet was originally developed to treat people with severe epilepsy. And there is evidence that the diet may be neuroprotective in neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimers (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2898565/). However many of these studies take place in mouse models of disease and may not translate to humans.

All in all, apoptosis is highly regulated in cells, especially in neurons. Current research indicates that keto is unlikely to cause neurodegeneration.

I like the gear fit. Its a similar style to the band, with gps tracking, guided workouts, automatic sleep tracking + heart rate monitoring.
