@matxpp Hear, hear --- I'm a developer of Microscope-Cockpit (GUI to control microscopes) and use all of those: MDI, restoring window position, and window icons

@ChapBookPro Perfect. Thank you.

Can anyone point me to a biography film where the real life character is still alive but the actor playing that character is deceased?

@TalleyJLambert I'm only left wondering if the slower version is because of ctypes itself. But this is pretty neat.

@beamsontoast I would guess that if there is internet, it's no longer off the grid and without distractions.

I'm today years old when I realised that the `s` in json, pickle, etc loads and dumps methods stands for `string`. I no longer need to check documentation to find out which one handles file handles or strings.

@Maurice_Y_Lee I can already see a microscope refusing to start acquisition because it deems the sample not worthy. With Alexa voice, "Move along, nothing to see here"

@loicaroyer We'll get there https://t.co/7lQacUuJR4

An obviously fake paper referenced one of my previous publications with other 258 totally unrelated references. There are a handful of authors that appear in most (all?) of the references. This is International Journal of Inclusive and Sustainable Education vol 1. What to do?

[David Pinto @carandraugNet]

So much better. For those who don't know how to change this: on the desktop site click the little starts icon at the top of the feed and then select "See latest Tweets instead".

[David Pinto @carandraugNet]

@CiminiLab That works. I've done that some 10-15 years ago with H2B-GFP and H3-GFP. You could "easily" check it with FACS too.

@JLazzariDean @AndrewGYork We once had a Xbox controller (not even the original brand, just a cheap knockoff) which we used to control a microscope. You can control it from Python making calls to winmm.dll (that's Windows Multimedia library so no need to install anything if you're on Windows)

[David Pinto @carandraugNet]

@TalleyJLambert @christlet @unruhjay @jnuneziglesias @jytinevez @IAMichaelNelson @SaraMcArdle1 @FijiSc I don't think that's right. The root of broken environments are version incompatibilities. The "something even better" that we need is stability on the packages API.

@dgaboriau @DrLachie In those images I see microscopes that look back. Looking down the objective to see an eye looking back at you is stuff of nightmares.

Ricardo is a good friend of mine and is looking for a post-doc to join his new lab in Oxford.

[Ricardo A. Fernandes @theRafLab]

We are looking for a highly motivated #Postdoc with a background in #Tcells #Immunology #Signaling or #Biochemistry to take on a prestigious 3-year Oxford-BMS Fellowship and find out all about checkpoint inhibition in T cells:

@mycroscopy @focalplane_jcs Yes, @microforum explore has a section for that, see https://t.co/dDmKPOw3TN

@bones_giles @ilandavis So, in average, do red headed people have an higher baseline of endorphin? Does that gives any base to the fiery red-headed trope.

Hard to believe that hidden files / dotfiles in Unix came to be, not by design but by a bug in `ls` https://t.co/7rqpX1Eyo4
