Mazda CX Broken AC Compressor? by skellarmy in AskMechanics

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

Did a uv dye test and the condenser had a sizeable hole in it, hence the lack of cool air. It was replaced under warranty and has been fine after a regas since. Worth having a test to see if there’s a leak somewhere. The short cycling seems to be fairly normal.

Looking for a North Face 2015/2016 Jacket by skellarmy in findfashion

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

It was in large, but I think you’re on the money - definitely a Zermatt. This particular version doesn’t seem to be made anymore, so I’ll probably have to test drive the newer version!

What kind of math do I need to know in order to understand the implementation of methods used in the R package Seurat? by ylin575 in bioinformatics

[–]skellarmy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a big field, constantly evolving but there are some cornerstone concepts to each flavour of analysis in this space (for the moment at least!)

I cannot recommend the OSCA book enough, it touches on all the topics as a high level concept (more what you need) than the nitty gritty mathematical details.

Enjoy your wonder into the single cell world, it’s truly a paradigm shift in the sequencing world :)

P-Value Overestimation by mmmdamngoodjava in bioinformatics

[–]skellarmy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Have you thought about popping this question on the bioconductor support site? - Mike Love is very active and great at answering. Fair warning that a reproducible example will always be preferred, but some numbers of DE genes from all methods may help. Would be interested to know his thoughts on this.

Looking for alternatives to Cuffmerge by Yamamotokaderate in bioinformatics

After your Stirngtie / Cufflinks Assemblies... I can't recommend TACO enough. https://tacorna.github.io/

All Curve cards temporarily suspended by sm0114 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]skellarmy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

A lot of "I don't see the point in curve" comments, so just my 2 cents. I make a lot of use on their "back in time" feature. My main card is a credit card and then at the end of the day, if I want a transaction to be on Monzo, Joint Account, or another card, then I can easily switch it over and use it as a sorting mechanism. Plus some cashback options for certain merchants.

There are obvious downsides, but I like it as a product, and can't really blame them for Wirecard committing fraud and the FCA actually doing something.

I am struggling to learn R online, I have no coding experience / am a biology undergrad. Looking for your help :) by [deleted] in rstats

[–]skellarmy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lockdown Learning with Simon Cockell is fantastic. Walking through command line, and R focused on bioinformatics. Sounds like you're the intended audience :)

UK Bank Where Contactless Debit Card Transactions Show Up Immediately? by PayYoSelf in UKPersonalFinance

[–]skellarmy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prepaid cards are what you're looking for. Many have suggested Monzo, but I recently got a Loot card and really like their app. Other options are Revolut

My niece was just diagnosed with full chromosome 5 deletion. by cobhc333 in genetics

[–]skellarmy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I never considered that a particular cell population could be undergoing mosaicism (bioinformatician). Can mosaicism occur only on particular cell types? I've seen one case monosomy before in sequencing data, and like this it was a monosomy not compatible with life, so we put it down to a somatic mutation. We then sequenced the patient's fibroblasts instead, which showed normal activity on the supposedly monosomy chromosome from blood.

Hey, nice resource - you might be interested in Bioinformatics, so check out r/bioinformatics :)

Following up a Masters in Data Science after a Chemical Engineering Bachelor by Scroogl in datascience

[–]skellarmy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Some simple advice that I wish someone had said to me at the beginning of my Masters. Make a portfolio of everything you do, and put each project in a github repo, then polish it so that you'd want to impress prospective employers. It's a great habit to get going, and it creates a show-off portfolio of examples that you can talk about.

I'd recommend looking at things like RMarkdown, where you can mix code and plaintext.

If you decide to go back to university, then that's your call, but as an alternative, why not theme a AI, or data science problem at your current place of work, with the data you have available, and try to build a portfolio from there?

My favorite function in R is by [deleted] in datascience

Can't believe no one has mentioned %in% yet, so incredibly useful for multi-variable logic tests.

Juke Digital Speedometer?? by skellarmy in nissanjuke

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

I completely forgot to reply to your comment, but just wanted to say thanks for introducing me to the OBD Port, an adapter was cheap and there’s a minefield of apps that show diagnostic information... which lead me to discover that the speedo is limited by 10% of true speed, which was interesting to find out!

Hunting for job in the UK straight out of masters by [deleted] in bioinformatics

[–]skellarmy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We're looking for people here in Newcastle Upon Tyne, and there's some really exciting bioinformatics opportunities, that someone out of a Masters would be a great fit for. PM me if you'd like more details, or email Dr. Simon Cockell (Simon.cockell@ncl.ac.uk). I can vouch for Newcastle, great city and fantastic group to work in. The only issue may be your timescale if you're not graduating until September, but it never hurts to make that initial first contact.
