how do you convert files from lab instruments into a data analysis-ready format?

@chris_dag wait. really?! You mean I don't have to put in a request, then talk to Business Development, then talk to an account manager, then...

the secret to getting access to GPU nodes on AWS HPC clusters is to typo the partition name when deploying the cluster. Anyone submitting to gpu-q gets bounced while I'm all cool with my V100 in my "gpq-q" partition !

@ivanliachko Hot tub.

Guess the product

@nilshomer @karynotype Software that aren't broken?

@karynotype If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. This is one of those that “just works” and doesn’t need updating…

@biologistimo Favorite chair at any price. Have never felt the need to try other chairs again. staples.com/Temperpedic-TP…

Favorite office chair for under $500? Bonus if I can snag it on Amazon!

@nilshomer What stage is ExcelBio in?

Pre-alpha: github.com/nf-core/fastqu…

@michelebusby Seems like there should be an easier solution for this. It is such a pain.

@nlarusstone You know when your code creating the desired effect. Regular words though... Who knows.

Procrastinating on writing words by writing code 👌

@michelebusby Tell them it's their fault for giving you those permissions.

What are people using for ELNs these days?

@kenbwork From this exchange you have learned: experienced bioinformaticians do not see value and are not your target market and your value proposition is not seen as any different from many that have come before it and failed. As with everything, you can ignore this, or learn from it.

@kenbwork You're getting honest opinions from experienced folks. Some of whom have spent 20+ years in the space and have bought and sold things and services and seen companies come and go. This is extremely valuable.

@Psy_Fer_ There is currently no incentive for developers to do this, nor is there incentive for the tasks that preclude this: documentation, making code robust, etc. If the appropriate reward systems were there, it would be done.

omg stop making non-wetlab scientists use your protocols io to run an experiment. pls make it a pre-packaged single-step reaction with some kinda commercial purchase from IDT if you want people to actually use it. If peeps can put CRISPR on IDT, so can you

@dmaccannell 😨

CLIA validation of bioinformatic workflows that include random number generators will be an absolute breeze. I can feel it.

@michelebusby Think of what you could accomplish! youtu.be/A-9Aygwp_B0?t=…

@michelebusby Maybe they should have to explain why they were not rollerskating.

@geoffjentry @googlecloud @awscloud @Azure There should be some AI looking out for me and know that the file is really in a different bucket.

@TruwL @googlecloud @awscloud @Azure blame the typo on a cloud provider

Comparison time. Currently running the same WDL workflow on @googlecloud, @awscloud, and @Azure. #bioinformatics #reproducibility.

@geoffjentry @googlecloud @awscloud @Azure One succeeded, one still running, and I obviously had to have a typo in at least one inputs file.

@TruwL @googlecloud @awscloud @Azure

@geoffjentry @googlecloud @awscloud @Azure Haha. That was on TV last night.

@dmaccannell @pathogenomenick @alanmcn1 Time to hook up a Traeger to the same laptop as a MinION. We'd watch that video.

@pathogenomenick @alanmcn1 I think there's a space for a blog that covers the interesection of sequencing, bioinformatics and bbq. Expand over time into TikTok, twitch, or Horizon World venues.

Blogging. Feel like we should bring blogging back (apologies to those who never stopped). It was nice when people created online content just because they wanted to communicate (often complex) ideas. The tweet thread is a poor substitute!
