Using loompy in Jupyter is what you would do when analysing your own data. You would connect to a loom file with the loompy library, then extract the data you're interested in, apply whatever algorithms you need to apply, and plotting the results. The difference is that this is all code of your own. Loom is just the storage format for the data in this context.

The viewer is a specialised application: it has a server and client. The server extracts (meta)data requested by the client from a loom file, and serves it as JSON. The client then uses this metadata to generate plots. The off-line viewer is actually just running that server locally and opening it on localhost:8003.

That makes it better for sharing raw data on-line: most of the time, people do not need the full dataset of 27k+ genes, they're only interested in a dozen or so. This makes it easy to access that.

Hosting your own viewer is quite simple:

# this also installs the loom CLI

pip install loom-viewer

# start the server

loom --dataset-path [DATASET_PATH] --server --port [PORT_NUMBER]

(Well, you probably want to use something like a supervisor script for that, which is what we do, but you get the idea)

We don't use a database; instead the server looks for loom files in a dataset folder like this:

[DATASET_PATH]\[PROJECT_FOLDER]\[LOOM FILE]

That means that sharing a loom file is as simple as copying it to the right folder.

This probably not web-scale or really safe or anything, but we're talking small labs sharing data with other labs - the risks are different. These viewers will be accessed by a few biologists. Using files in a folder structure keeps it simple enough to set up for the less tech-savvy.

In theory, a third work-flow is also possible: having Jupyter open in one tab and manipulating the loom file from there, and the viewer in another.

There are three blocking issues for that, however:

- the stale cache problem I mentioned in the other comment,

- single writer/multiple reader support,

- the server needs to be an isolated sub-process due to gevent monkeypatching messing with Jupyter

Main issue here is dev-team of one person so... this might take some time.

So it's a program! [Sorry. I was confused and I was expecting that you just moved from country A to country B and you were trying to change the visa status from tourist to resident, or something like that.]

I use Windows, and I tried Google just in case, but I was not successful. Hopefully someone else can answer.

If nobody answer, you can try in another site like https://superuser.com/ that is more dedicated to this kind of questions. Try to give as much information as possible, like the version of the OS, which AV do you have, the exact message of the program (Something like "touristid, sent:637bytes, rcvd:1.1mb, send pack:3." is much more useful than "touristid".) Try to find similar questions and try to copy the style and use the same level of detail. (Sometime they kill questions because they are too generic or too specific or too reposted or too whatever, so good luck there.)

PS: You can edit your comments for 1-2 hours after you posted it. This is useful to add more detail or fix typos.

With every product google offers you always have to wonder what their angle is and to what extent they will datamine it. Google offering a service that vacuums up CV's is one of those cases where you can almost bet that they are not doing this from an altruistic point of view but that they would very much like to have your CV, and getting companies to request those CVs gets others to carry water for them.
> I'm just glad it is based on revenue instead of profits. I think corporate taxes should be the same way.

This would be a value-added tax levied at every step in the supply chain. It's a bad idea because it favors large, vertically integrated companies.

Why is trampypizza's answer to this marked as [dead]? It looks like a perfectly reasonable response, no?
I think many of us suffer from being alone not only in the "without people" category but also fear silence and being with ourselves without distractions of any kind. We want to forget the uncertainties and mysteries of life, which can scare us tremendously.

I've been in this process in my life in which I've learned to be with myself and face some of the fears that show up when you are with yourself only. The fear will always be there, but it can be tamed and lose its influence on you. Doing so has been very empowering to me. I'm no longer so much looking for other people and constant distractions out of fear, and that is liberating. I tend to look for those things now out of pleasure. This also has a positive effect on who you accept in your life.

I wonder how much of what they call the physical pain of being lonely, the toxicity and potential life-span shortening of a lonely person just fear mismanaged.
I'm much the same, but I'd say that regular contact with people does have a levelling effect - it's harder for stress to take hold long term, and it provides a distraction from whatever negative internal dialogue you may suffer. Also, the longer you spend not interacting with others, the less practised and potentially more problematic it may become.

Relative comparisons don't make sense to you?
Have you tried the financial sector?

Banks, especially, are inundated with regulations (high-level, abstract) that necessitate technical (low-level, concrete) implementations or adaptations. Often, there are great legal minds at work on the one side, and great technical minds on the other side, with a large gap and significant barriers communication in between.

Being proficient in both of these matters can enable one to bridge that gap.

Yes, but that is a different issue as you said in your original comment. Statistically it is irrelevant. The "is it a choice" part also belongs in the "completely different issue" basket, so to speak.
Holy s* they actually tested diesel fumes on people and monkeys

> On Sunday, German daily Stuttgarter Zeitung reported that EUGT also sponsored scientific studies testing nitrogen dioxide, a gas found in exhaust fumes, on people.

>It said around 25 healthy young people inhaled nitrogen dioxide in varying doses over a period of hours at an institute belonging to Aachen University in Germany.

This is what the headline is about.

>The German government said on Monday that any auto emissions testing on monkeys or people were unjustifiable.

Definitely worth the read.
At first glance this seems like a solely pro privacy development but it's really a further effort to go after US tech companies with some nasty side effects:

>Among their provisions, the rules enshrine the so-called right to be forgotten into European law

Codifying a terrible ruling into law.

>The rules also require anyone under 16 to obtain parental consent before using popular digital services

It's like COPA but at least an order of magnitude worse.

>... the company unveiled a program that uses artificial intelligence to monitor Facebook users for signs of self-harm. But it did not open the program to users in Europe... The social network has also kept out of Europe facial recognition software that tracks when photos of users are posted across the platform.*

It hinders innovation, and these examples are probably the least of it.

It is very much apparent that these rules were meant for US companies but they will very likely hinder the growth and even the formation of smaller companies that in turn will have to dedicate non trivial resources to insure compliance. Inadvertently or not the EU have introduced a huge barrier to entry.
Intel has had literally months upon months to test and stabilize their microcode and kernel-side patches for Meltdown/Spectre... but it seems like Intel just doesn't give half a shit, if they're having major issues now.

Intel's actions seem to shout that they have cared far more about releasing Kaby/Skylake X and Coffee Lake in short order, as a response to Ryzen/ThreadRipper, than actually really digging into fixing their major security flaws. Their actions speak of them preferring to keep their market and mindshare over actually fixing any security issues.

Intel is still so deeply entrenched that they likely believe that they can get away with their lazy approach. They make millions upon millions, if not billions of dollars ~ why should they give a shit, when their monopoly and half-hearted attempt at a solution will get them by? Intel is being strangled by their shitty management, seemingly...

That must be why almost any time an EU related thing was put up for a popular vote it was rejected by the people. I can think of Maastricht, the EU „Constitution“, which was rejected and then rebranded and simply put up for vote 2 years later, the Bailouts and Austerity („elections can‘t change economic policy“, according to Dr. Schäuble), most recently Brexit. Allegedly it is always populists that ruin everything, but at least in the case of the EU constitution and the Bailouts there was legitimate criticism that was largely surpressed and ignored.

I share this exact sentiment about decoupling and this is why I developed SIT.

I was thinking that eventually a sync tool can be developed for SIT to pull/push from GitHub/JIRA. It's probably won't be perfect, but a good stopgap measure.

Not sure if your idea is feasible for some of the bug trackers (if there's a custom issue database plugin, one can try!), but it is a great idea nevertheless.

Also, I am playing with some ideas on building a web UI to this tool (both local-running and eventually externally facing one as well)

Litigation is not the right word for solicitors' work in general – they do a lot of non-contentious business, especially in the City (eg. corporate finance and M&A). Although many solicitors do litigation (which includes advocacy in the courts), most barristers do it exclusively.

> ...but it happens more often than I would like that I update Linux (Ubuntu) and, lo and behold, I can't really use any programs until I reboot...

Ubuntu developer here. This doesn't happen to me in practice. Most updates don't cause system instability. I rarely reboot.

Firefox is the most noticeable thing. After updating Firefox (usually it's a security update), Firefox often starts misbehaving until restarted. But I am very rarely forced to restart the login session or the entire system. I should, to get updates to actually take effect, but as a developer I'm usually aware of the specifics, so I can afford to be more selective than the average user.

Are you sure you aren't comparing apples to oranges here, and are actually complaining about the stability of updates while running the development release, which involves ABIs changing and so forth?

A certain amount of privacy came from the cost/effort required to monitor people - you had to have a good reason. So while you could be monitored by a PI/police, it wouldn't happen to people most of the time.

There are several important things here:

1) All the main German federal parties support the EU.

2) The migration concerns are about asylum seekers rather than EU citizens, because (as I have discovered by trying) German bureaucracy is effective at keeping out speculative job seekers like me.

3) The UK government keeps passing surveillance laws which violate the UK implementation of the European declaration of human rights, and I don’t like that the UK will start getting away with it after they leave the relevant jurisdiction.

4) The UK government has no agreement amongst its own ministers about the strategic goals for Brexit, let alone figured out the relative costs and benefits of different ways to approach it, let alone made preparations for it.

I don’t mean small things either, May said the UK would leave the Customs Union but the Treasury doesn’t want to and nobody has even submitted planning permission for building new customs inspections points.

3 and 4 are the big problems for me. Personally staying in the EU is merely desirable, not Earth-shatteringly vital.
