Hacking trails and health data
The last two Saturdays I participated in “Hack for Change Albany” and “National Trails Day”. Most people would consider trail work and computer programming to be very different, but both events were actually very similar in format. Groups of volunteers got together for a common cause. In each case we were loosely organized by a leader but also encouraged to… More →
Link Dump
Some interesting articles from the last couple of weeks…(If you follow the open science and reproducible research communities you have probably already seen these). Nate Silver comments on a repeatable data controversy. Silver reaches a very large audience so people outside the open data community will read this. He also makes a good point “be skeptical of the skeptics” too!… More →
ISBI 2014 Grand Challenge
Last month I attended ISBI 2014 in Beijing as part of the Deconvolution Grand Challenge. These challenges are very important as they encourage cross fertilization of technology. The top 3 entries were. Ferreol Soulez – Learn 2D, Apply 3D Method David Biggs – Olympus Cellsens Deconvolution Software- (Very fast. Dave did his PhD in algorithm acceleration). Sander Kromwijk – A… More →
ImageJ2-GPU Deconvolution
I’ve just added an ImageJ2 wrapper to YacuDecu (by Bob Pepin) in both the main deconvolution project and RogueImageJPlugins. RogueImageJPlugins is a place where I am putting cool self contained plugins and examples. Yacu Decu was written as an Imaris plugin. The Imaris version can be found here. I’ve played with it a little and got about a 10x speed… More →
Albany Open Source Festival
March 28th I gave a presentation on Integration of “Multiple Open Source Components for Image Deconvolution” at the Albany Open Source Festival.
Heart Bleed, Richardson Lucy and Anti-Fragility
I am no expert in internet security. I am also fairly new to open source so I don’t claim to understand all the complicated factors that led to the heartbleed bug. From what I understand the problem occurred because of a bug in a piece of widely used open source code. There is quite a bit of discussion on heartbleed… More →
