I have been adding one tip per day to my daily tips GitHub repo for the past month. It’s a simple setup: I manually add tips to a YAML file I use a Python script to convert YAML to Markdown A helper script appends the Markdown file, README.md, with today’s tip I’ve also set up…
I just heard about Open WebUI from Harish’s comment on my Ollama and DeepSeek post and decided to check it out. From their website: Open WebUI is an extensible, feature-rich, and user-friendly self-hosted AI platform designed to operate entirely offline.

Today I learned of the utils::getAnywhere() function in R, which I discovered when looking for a way to determine which function is going to be used when two attached packages have the same function name. I knew of base::search() which provides the search path used by R to look for objects (remember that everything in…

As the name suggests, they are snippets of code that you can quickly insert into your source code in the source pane of RStudio. There are two ways to add code snippets: Click on the following: Tools -> Global Options ->…
The Sequence Read Archive (SRA) is the largest publicly available repository of high throughput sequencing data. (Fun fact: it used to be called the Short Read Archive since most of the data was from short read sequencers.) The tool fastq-dump from the SRA Toolkit can be used to download SRA data. A while ago I…
I am going to start a new series of posts based on new things (new to me) I learned about recently and they will be included in the TIL category. I learned about TIL from the bird app a while ago and it is based on the popular subreddit todayilearned. I used to post TIL…
