And I’m very glad I did, because today I’m more convinced than ever it was the right

I love dotfiles. “Dotfiles” is a term that refers to configuration files used to configure software and operating systems. They are called such because often these files start with a dot. You may have seen .bashrc , .tmux.conf or .zshrc in the wild.

A cell is a vibrating bag of molecules, densely packed with DNA, proteins, RNAs, and lipids. The ratios of these molecules are not balanced, though. A typical HeLa cell, widely used as a model to study cancer in the laboratory, has about 20 times more protein than DNA by mass. Such imbalances are pervasive across the tree of life, but proteins are always the heaviest and most diverse group of molecules within a cell.
