Emilia Jarochowska 🇺🇦🌱<p>I'm sure someone has already invented a <a href="https://circumstances.run/tags/python" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>python</span></a> wiper that gets rid of all stray python installations, venvs and package managers. After two versions of poetry, a conda episode (better say: accident), a switch to uv, inconsistent use of pip, pipx and python installs via <a href="https://circumstances.run/tags/homebrew" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>homebrew</span></a>, and installs via miniconda that <a href="https://circumstances.run/tags/julialang" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>julialang</span></a> and <a href="https://circumstances.run/tags/quarto" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>quarto</span></a> sneaked up on me, there is absolutely no way to make any path to anything work in any virtual environment and I need a new laptop. So what's the python wiper called?</p>
Eric R. Scott<p>For those of you who run lab groups, consider creating a lab handbook if you don’t already have one. Ideally something all members can contribute to with philosophies, policies, procedures, tips, etc! This could be as simple as a shared google doc or something a little fancier.

Thomas Sandmann<p>This week, I learned how to create and explore a data lake with duckdb, using its new ducklake extension. It was surprisingly easy to hand over the creation and management of parquet files with larg(ish) tables to ducklake. I loved being able to explore the data using R, python or plain SQL - even within the same Quarto document! <a href="https://tomsing1.github.io/blog/posts/ducklake/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">tomsing1.github.io/blog/posts/</span><span class="invisible">ducklake/</span></a> <a href="https://genomic.social/tags/RStats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RStats</span></a> <a href="https://genomic.social/tags/python" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>python</span></a> <a href="https://genomic.social/tags/duckdb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>duckdb</span></a> <a href="https://genomic.social/tags/ducklake" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ducklake</span></a> <a href="https://genomic.social/tags/quarto" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>quarto</span></a></p>

Less hilariously, it turns out that, up until recently, the vast majority of eyetracking studies were carried out in the US and West Europe on major European languages. Now studies on Chinese in China are changing the picture, but still eyetracking reading studies are still limited to very few languages.</p><p>* Also, it turns out that using <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/QuartoPub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>QuartoPub</span></a> to host Quarto slides is not only useful to share slides with the audience and on social media, but also to easily switch computer when the presenter's laptop can no longer connect with the temperamental projector.</p>
