It really is amazing what you can do with statistics and a large enough data set. I can't wait for what this brings the community in a few years!

Check out the audio file in this article linked from the original post. Very cool. https://www.openculture.com/2013/10/what-ancient-greek-music-sounded-like.html

Interesting! Most of my yeast comes from White Labs. I haven't tried it myself, but have seen some commercial beers treated to reduce gluten and would guess it's the same enzyme. It would probably work for me though my wife is much more sensitive.

The Battle for Wesnoth is my all-time favorite FOSS. Can't understate it.

I'm not sure about this particular paper, but usually you can compare the number of mutations in a common protein and use that to estimate how long ago a common ancestor existed. As an example here is a graph of the number of mutations in mitochondrial DNA for the protein Cytochrome C. The more mutations you accumulate in a genome the larger amount of time since they split from a common ancestor.

I suppose it is the original recycling program haha

Ah yes, we have a necromancer in our midst 😎

One more for Bitwarden. You can even run your own local server and avoid using the cloud.

I joined mander.xyz because it has a central theme around the natural sciences. It could possibly include STEM content as well; there is an ongoing discussion about it. The admin(s) are present and very responsive.

For anyone with a love of science and/or nature I recommend it highly as a home instance of Lemmy.

“Like all blowups on Reddit, this one will pass,” the CEO wrote.

This is true. By sheer population most Redditors never left. But I'd say a core percentage responsible for actually making content has moved on and won't be back.

It's interesting that larger wings improve thermoregulation in both hot and cold climates. Nice find!

I think extending to STEM is a good take on it. That would keep it at least academically focused and make it easy to say "communities about horror fiction authors aren't what we're going for", etc. My only concern would be an explosion of extremely niche communities that never really take off, potentially diluting broader communities. However, that's more an issue with the Fediverse in general and could be unavoidable growing pains.

I love being able to browse local and only get topics in the sciences field. It gives Mander a unique feel and I think that tone is worth preserving. I have subbed to communities on other instances that are definitely not science-based and can easily catch up on them by filtering subscribed.
