What do #Electrophysiologists who record raw data from many channels (#NeuroPixels, #Hyperdrives…) do for data backup and storage? I just bought 2 x 4Tb external drives and it looks like they won’t be enough (at all). Is there a cheap and reliable AND huge storage way to do this?
Ab heute sind wir auf der #fossgis2024 an der TU Hamburg, um über semantisches Datenmanagement und Geodaten zu reden und zu lernen. Gefällt euch unsere Tassen-Sonderedition? Die ersten vier Nachfragen danach bekommen an unserem Stand eine #LinkAhead ❤️ FossGIS-Tasse.
I would implore you all to use ISO 8601 for dates (year-month-day, biggest to smallest)! I sent a message out to my team at my job about this before discovered that XKCD actually made a comic regarding this haha. My favorite feature is that it allows for “natural” (lexicographical) sorting so that you can just sort your files on your computer by name! It also plays nicely with file paths on operating systems since it does not use / to delineate year-month-day.
The ambiguity between month/day in many date systems really hurts my brain. I admit that I sometimes use the US-standard of month/day/year for those individuals whose brains are likely not ISO 8601 compliant.
CKAN is an open-source DMS (data management system) for powering data hubs and data portals. CKAN makes it easy to publish, share and use data. It powers hundreds of data portals worldwide. (AGPL 3 License)
It powers the open data at Government of Canada. (and Singapore, and Australia)
It uses Python 3.8+, and documented using Sphinx + ReadTheDocs!
After describing my experiences with cheating scientists, in this piece I call on universities to do something about them, and describe concrete steps that will reduce scientific errors generally! https://www.chronicle.com/article/how-to-stop-academic-fraudsters
It's paywalled but registering your email should give you a few free articles. The Chronicle is subscribed to by many universities, so hopefully this will reach my target of university administrators. Message me if you'd like a PDF. #metascience#metaresearch#datamanagement
