Today I discovered python-box, a neat little package to make it much more convenient to implement dot notation access. https://t.co/WOThrAi9re (via https://t.co/CDSKo3ikLu)

This deserves more RTs. Dask has fundamentally changed how we can work with data in python. We regularly compute over 100s of millions of rows on an ordinary workstation- unthinkable ~5 years ago.
Dask was originally developed to scale NumPy and pandas. As Matthew Rocklin says the #Python community quickly became interested in the Dask Engine and used it to build many more specialized tools.

Very exited about this :). Accurate simultaneous sequencing of genetic and epigenetic bases in DNA
biorxiv.org
DNA comprises molecular information stored via genetic bases (G, C, T, A) and also epigenetic bases, principally 5-methylcytosine (5mC) and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC). Both genetic and epigenetic...

Starting using this recently. Very handy for those little classes where you don't know properties/methods. Way better than previous "workflow" of hitting dot-complete all the time.
I use rich.inspect pretty much every day. It is one of the most popular features of Rich >>> from rich import inspect >>> inspect(str, methods=True)

Thanks @DannyYee for your review/reflections on the 'Quickways' proposals in Oxford (and @cycloxoxford for sharing). We're lucky to have you thinking carefully about this stuff! https://t.co/R9q6n3uBI5 You can respond to the consultation by Sunday, here:

We are proposing to introduce quickway cycle routes to some of the main roads in Oxford. Quickways mean wider cycle lanes, segregation where possible, advanced stop lines, improved crossings, and...

Best tweet I have seen on this...
People who say $GME is overvalued don't understand the value proposition. It's no longer a stock, it's a store of value. It's the new digital gold. And for now it has only 3% of the $BTC market cap, still plenty of room to grow. My price target is over $9,000
