package github-typesUses

Inspired by a comment on my post Visualising edit history of a Wikipedia page, the code I use to make history flow diagrams like the one below is now in GitHub at https://github.com/rdmpage/wikihistoryflow.There is also a live version at http://iphylo.org/~rpage/wikihistoryflow.

Entre las notas que uno genera durante una investigación están las ideas de todo tipo, pueden ser sobre nuevos proyectos, el diseño de nuevas preguntas, las asistencia a eventos, títulos para un nuevo trabajo, colaboraciones, probar herramientas electrónicas, implementar un método, por mencionar algunas. Me resulta muy interesante la propuesta de compartir ideas, proyectos y procedimientos en la investigación digital.

As The Verge reports Microsoft acquires GitHub. According to The Verge GitHub was "last valued at $2 billion back in 2015, but it's not clear exactly how much Microsoft has paid to acquire GitHub." The Verge also considers the purchase as a promotion of Microsoft's open source strategy and suspects the acquisition could meet mistrust in the open source scene.

Good news - the Ion Torrent Suite is now freely available open source software on GitHub under the GPL v2 licence, as promised late last year. There is now something more substantial behind talk of Ion Torrent " democratising sequencing ", and a clear advantage over the closed source tools of rival companies. I commend them!

I saw this Tweet a few days ago from Jeremy Leipzig counting the number of GitHub repositories that sequencing-related companies have on their organization page, but was immediately curious how many of these had an open-source license versus a restrictive or unknown license. I tried to one-shot this with GPT-5 given a screenshot of Jeremy's Tweet and a few instructions. It got me 90% of the way but I had to make a few tweaks here and there.
