I got to meet David Potter and his journalist wife when I was working at the Royal Free Hospital. He funded the Potter Chair position which my prof Dr Kleta filled as a nephrologist for many years. I have a picture of myself holding a Nokia N900 and shaking his hand.

At the time I thought he was the reason that the phone existed at all, not quite knowing the delicate politics between Symbian and Maemo at the time.

Still he smiled amicably enough and it's a treasured photo of mine.

A lifetime ago I wrote an OpenCV blob detection auto-mining tool for it:

It worked for about an hour before having the nasty habit of attacking monsters, chasing them out into the wilderness where you'd check in on your character and find him dead, barren, and lost.

Fun though.

I used to run fail2ban, but I found it (or at least its defaults) ineffective against discouraging further requests. With iptables, you can specify the connection to hang for a period and then drop

I have a utility that parses ssh failed attempts and creates iptables blocklists:

For those just wanting the blocklist, here is a table of malicious IP addresses, with columns of: address, number of ports tried, number of usernames tried.

probably because the visual differences are so slight that there is no benefit in showing them to someone who isn't deeply entrenched in the topic

I use the same pattern for my iptables banner.

It's essentially a manual firewall for when I disable ufw if it's being too aggressive:

Same for these "lightning fast" bashrc frameworks. I boiled down my main cases into 15 lines in my rc:

Hah, no worries - if ever you start anything in the UK/EU space, feel free to ping me!

2 anni fadiscuss

Ah. This would be perfect for me (see my bio), but I'm only UK and EU based. I'd do remote if I could.

because the vector contains characters, so clearly it encodes categorical data and not numeric

This is really amazing. I wonder if confounders such as transcriptional bursting[1] are modelled too? I did not check but I assume cell-cycle is readily modelled.

1: The tendency of a single cell to perform transcription in bursts of activity/inactivity, which averages in bulk tissue as a continuous variable.

Thanks for the insight!

> I started interviewing for positions in (tech) industry, got a monetary offer 5 times what I was making as a senior postdoc, started a new career, and never looked back.

Hello, I'm in a similar sort of transition position. May I ask where you applied (US/UK/EU-based?) and what your main experience was in adapting your academic CV to industry?

(Feel free to reach me by email or matrix too)
