Origins of the word "watermelon"

    In Italian it’s called “anguria” or “cocomero”. “Pomodoro” is tomato, instead.

  • Recommendations for Computer Science Courses Applied to Environmental Biology, Zoology, or Entomology

    I appreciate your exhaustive answer. Thanks a lot! I found a lot of useful information. Since I am already learning Python, I believe I will look into your book suggestion and also start looking more into the other topics you covered, such as Git, SQL, and getting better at Excel.

    Again, I really appreciate your answer!

    Thank you for your answer! Yes, I'm already starting (or at least trying) to learn Python. I guess in the future I'll begin to look into Matlab as well!

  • Hey Computer Scientists! I'm currently interested about the intersection of computer science and biology, specifically in the realms of environmental biology, zoology, and entomology. I have a background in these areas, fyi. I'm reaching out to you to see if anyone can recommend some great courses (possibly beginner friendly) that delve into the application of computer science in these fields. Whether it's data analysis, modeling, or bioinformatics, I would like to learn how and what computational tools can be utilized in these fields of biology. If you've taken a course that covers these topics, or if you've heard of reputable institutions or online platforms offering such courses, please share your insights! I think that personal experiences and recommendations hold so much value. Also, if you have any advice on some great books about computer science and biology (that maybe helped you to learn to work in this field), I'd love to hear about it. Looking forward to your suggestions!

    What app can you not live without?
  • antsomnia antsomnia 1y ago 60%

    I believe it's about optimizing our well-being by staying ahead of potential dehydration and supporting our body's functions more consistently. When we maintain proper hydration levels, we're not just preventing thirst – we're also supporting digestion, circulation, temperature regulation, and overall cognitive and physical performance.

    But I think I am digressing too much from the topic of the post.

    I'm sorry if my posts have given the impression that I'm promoting specific apps. I'm simply trying to share interesting and helpful information about a variety of topics. I am still new here, but I would like for the Lemmy community to be more active. That's all there is, really.

    The issue is that when you feel thirsty, it indicates that your body is already dehydrated (essentially experiencing a water deficit), which is not ideal. Therefore, it's important to avoid reaching that point. I used to only drink when I felt thirsty, but since using Waterllama, I have been able to maintain better hydration levels (and I must say, I also feel better!).

  • Since there are so many great apps out there, I want to ask the ever-so-important question: Which one is absolutely essential to your daily life? I'll go first: [Waterllama](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/water-tracker-waterllama/id1454778585)! I started using it a few months ago because I really like to know precisely what and how much I drink each day, especially during the summer. I'd love to hear about the app you use the most and why it's so important to you. And if you have any tips or tricks for getting the most out of the app, I'd love to hear those too!

    Introducing ChromaMotion: a new way to visualize the emotional journey of movies
    https://i.imgur.com/mRVCXEX.png

    ChromaMotion is a project that uses Python and AI to visualize the mood and emotions of movies through color timelines. Each color in the timeline represents a specific frame, creating a unique visual representation of the movie's emotional journey. You can find my work on PixelFed, under the username [ChromaMotion](https://pixelfed.social/i/web/profile/592281711425291027). I'd love to hear your thoughts and suggestions, since I just started this project and have still a lot to learn and improve! Thanks for your interest!
