Happy to announce that our #JOSS paper on #MotilA is now published 😊

MotilA is an #OpenSource #Python pipeline for quantifying microglial fine-process motility in 3D/4D in vivo multiphoton #imaging data. It is specifically designed for reproducible, batch-scale analysis.

The paper describes the methodology, implementation, and scope of the software:

I got nerd-sniped by some friends...

I am feeling somewhat better now, but this is the outcome: https://github.com/BjarniRunar/Pipe - easy shell-like pipes of unix utilities, in #Python!

Example:

from pipe import *
sh.uname | sh.grep('Linux') | sh.Check

(Raises an exception if not on Linux... assuming it runs at all).

A sentence segmentation library with wide language support optimized for speed and utility.

Written in #Rust.

Bindings are available for #Python, #NodeJS and #WASM

Might be useful for my #SpeechToText system! 👀

Do you like RSS, Python, and web development? Do you want to start contributing to FLOSS?

This is my personal RSS reader (running locally only), opened as a FLOSS project. There's a lot that I plan to add to it, but I don't have so much time for now. However, it might be interesting to some folks, at least for learning purposes. So, here it goes.

When using Protocol on Python, do you subclass from it?

Do you decorate the Protocol methods with abstractmethod?

I've seen different implementations for the questions above, and they all work, and I'm not sure of the benefits of doing it one way or another.
