I understand why this is bad, but I personally would sign up for a Microsoft account anyway. Mainly, I don't want all my stuff in "C:\Users\micha". Is there a way to set your username?
When FASTA was invented in 1985, generally sequencing reads would be about half that.
The simplicity of FASTA seems like a dream compared to the GenBank flat file format used before then. And around the year 2000, less computationally-inclined scientists were storing sequence in Microsoft Word binary .doc files.
A lot of file formats (including bioinformatics formats!) have come and gone in that time period. I don't think many would design it this way today, but it has a lot of nice features like the ones you point out that led to its longevity.
Yeah but my point is that as a reader I'm trying to figure out which ISAs actually don't provide this (vs. which ISAs the author lacks knowledge of), and I still don't know what those are. The sentence looks like it's supposed to tell me, but it doesn't.
Unfortunately, it is marked obsolete since 29.1. The NEWS says:
* Many seldom-used generalized variables have been made obsolete.
Emacs has a number of rather obscure generalized variables defined,
that, for instance, allowed you to say things like:
(setf (point-min) 4)
These never caught on and have been made obsolete. The form above,
for instance, is the same as saying
This used to be the case until Emacs 24.1, in 2012.
Passing a nil argument to a minor mode function call now ENABLES
the minor mode unconditionally. This is so that you can write e.g.
(add-hook 'text-mode-hook #'foo-mode)
to enable foo-mode in Text mode buffers, removing the need for
'turn-on-foo-mode' style functions. This affects all mode commands
defined by 'define-minor-mode'. If called interactively, the mode
command still toggles the minor mode.
Adding on a representation of mean in a different style (like a black bar) can be helpful. So can a boxplot-style indication of variance, in some cases.
