Anyone know of any open source journals with no publishing fees, in the #genomics #bioinformatics #rstats fields? My team and I are interested in publishing more side projects, but its hard to justify the publishing fees when you aren't in the #academic space. I guess the other alternative to is find a collaborator at a uni.

Really enjoying the concept of using yaml config files with my #rstats scripts (an idea I took from my r targets pipelines), instead of hardcoding inputs in the script itself, or having inputs and params as command line variables. Makes it easy to move between projects, keeps a record of what was used etc. happy days! 😀

what did you end up going with? It’s behind a paywall for me.

Anyone know why pasting multi-line R code into the terminal suddenly breaks? A long loop won’t paste/execute cleanly, I just end up stuck with a trailing +. If I paste it in smaller chunks it works fine. Any fix for this?

So I’ve resettled on my final wallpaper - this small #rstats hex sticker collage as your desktop #wallpaper (with tile to fit) the effect is amazing 🤩 Bit of colour filtering to match your style and it’s even better.
But… I can’t remember how I created the final purple version with the pixelated blended colour effect, from the original (external source) faded blue version.
Does anyone know what filters in #GIMP I could apply to achieve this again with another image.

Anyone in Australia 🦘 have recommendations for a reputable seller of the GBS-Control for upscaling retro gaming consoles like the #PS2?

was going to say if you got desperate you could always grab cooking string from the green or red shops.

I remember waiting for my nexus 5 to arrive many years ago and monitoring the tracking too, only for it to be stolen from my front door soon after delivery...

where have you been ordering your HGST drives from? I’ve always found them more difficult to source down under than other brands.

I’ve always like helping others with my #rstats packages 📦 It’s satisfying and a nice change to the usual work. Unfortunately I suspect some people are hesitant to reach out. Has anyone made a cool logo 🤩 to put on your GitHub repos that clearly communicates you are open to helping others use the repo/package regardless of skill level?
