My main motivation for doing #foss work is that I like it, and because openness fosters new ideas. But no such things as "improve the world"

Protip: #bioinformatics developers, use a build system! Make is not enough. Recommended choice: #cmake.

Luca Beltrame

Dear Broad Institute, R may be the worst programming language ever, but you absolutely *fail* for not providing a download of gsalib!

I used Mendeley for a brief time... now they got bought by Elsevier. Not using that anymore, *ever*.

Ugh, #Qt model/view can be really complicated... Are there any examples with an image grid?

WingIDE wasn't bad at all, for the record. But I prefer using Free software when possible.
