@matxpp Hear, hear --- I'm a developer of Microscope-Cockpit (GUI to control microscopes) and use all of those: MDI, restoring window position, and window icons

I wanted to say a few things about the importance of applications, Wayland porting, and the joy of discussing Wayland protocol extensions... ;-)

@carandraugNet Good game. Working back from old folks, it seems like more than one deceased actor played the not-deceased Henry Kissinger, e.g. Paul Sorvino - time.com/6201235/paul-s… and Ron Silver - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ron_Silver
English
Can anyone point me to a biography film where the real life character is still alive but the actor playing that character is deceased?
English
@TalleyJLambert I'm only left wondering if the slower version is because of ctypes itself. But this is pretty neat.
English
@carandraugNet checked again:
after reimplementation, the loading of metadata for a relatively large file (500mb) takes ~5ms after rewrite, and ~28ms with the SDK.
reading the actual file data is not so different
English
The nd2 package (Nikon NIS elements file reader for python) just got a major internal refactor. v0.6.0 reimplements the outputs of the official SDK in pure python. (No more wrapping of c code)
Speed is improved, and it’s easier to install anywhere now.

@beamsontoast I would guess that if there is internet, it's no longer off the grid and without distractions.
English
I'm today years old when I realised that the `s` in json, pickle, etc loads and dumps methods stands for `string`. I no longer need to check documentation to find out which one handles file handles or strings.

@Maurice_Y_Lee I can already see a microscope refusing to start acquisition because it deems the sample not worthy. With Alexa voice, "Move along, nothing to see here"
English
Again!
Ok, for the next one I want a generative model that produces STL files for 3D printing from a prompt… ready, steady, go!

An obviously fake paper referenced one of my previous publications with other 258 totally unrelated references. There are a handful of authors that appear in most (all?) of the references. This is International Journal of Inclusive and Sustainable Education vol 1. What to do?
English
So much better. For those who don't know how to change this: on the desktop site click the little starts icon at the top of the feed and then select "See latest Tweets instead".
English
@CiminiLab That works. I've done that some 10-15 years ago with H2B-GFP and H3-GFP. You could "easily" check it with FACS too.
English
#Microscopy Twitter - A collaborator was asking us whether nuclear FP-H2B tot. intensity could be used to == cell cycle phase in the way that DAPI etc can; a search didn't turn up much. My instinct is "not without a bunch of validation", but does anyone know one way or the other?
English
@JLazzariDean @AndrewGYork We once had a Xbox controller (not even the original brand, just a cheap knockoff) which we used to control a microscope. You can control it from Python making calls to winmm.dll (that's Windows Multimedia library so no need to install anything if you're on Windows)
English
Hey microscopy DIY folks: I have a great XYZ stage assembly, but it didn’t come with a joystick. @AndrewGYork and I are going to set up a video game controller to move the stage. Does anyone have suggestions on controllers or packages to read their inputs (C or python)? 🎮🔬
English
@TalleyJLambert @christlet @unruhjay @jnuneziglesias @jytinevez @IAMichaelNelson @SaraMcArdle1 @FijiSc I don't think that's right. The root of broken environments are version incompatibilities. The "something even better" that we need is stability on the packages API.
English
@christlet @unruhjay @jnuneziglesias @jytinevez @IAMichaelNelson @SaraMcArdle1 @FijiSc Yeah, there a ton of those out there (that’s how any of us learned). I get the desire for “something even better”, but ultimately this becomes a “google problem”, not one of content creation
English
Python is so frustrating.
I have never lost time this much. Do you have to reinstall anaconda everytime you want to run Spyder?
English
@dgaboriau @DrLachie In those images I see microscopes that look back. Looking down the objective to see an eye looking back at you is stuff of nightmares.

Ricardo is a good friend of mine and is looking for a post-doc to join his new lab in Oxford.
Ricardo A. Fernandes@theRafLab
We are looking for a highly motivated #Postdoc with a background in #Tcells #Immunology #Signaling or #Biochemistry to take on a prestigious 3-year Oxford-BMS Fellowship and find out all about checkpoint inhibition in T cells: tinyurl.com/4hs8tm22 Please RT!

@mycroscopy @focalplane_jcs Yes, @microforum explore has a section for that, see microlist.org/explore/?type=…
English
Is there a calendar with ALL the microscopy and image analysis meetings/courses/conferences together each year? I keep hearing about new events. @focalplane_jcs ? #microscopy #imageanalysis #bioimageanalysis

@bones_giles @ilandavis So, in average, do red headed people have an higher baseline of endorphin? Does that gives any base to the fiery red-headed trope.
English
@ilandavis It's a mutation in melanocortin1 which is also part of the endorphin production complex
English
Fun fact: red headed people need higher doses of anaesthetic than other people

Hard to believe that hidden files / dotfiles in Unix came to be, not by design but by a bug in `ls` tookmund.com/2022/03/rob-pi…
