Today

  • Databases.

  • Cloud computing using GCP.

Announcements

  • TA office hours changed to Friday 1p-2p (only this week).

  • I messed up the teaching server yesterday 😞and need to rebuild the server. Make sure you always commit your changes and push to GitHub. Lessons I learnt:
    1. Be extremely cautious with rm -rf folder. It’s very hard to recover a deleted folder in Linux.
    2. Always back up the system.
    3. GitHub comes as a rescue so we don’t lose important work.

  • Interested in statistical genetics and computational statistics? Lange Symposium. Symposium ($20 registration fee) on Feb 21; Programming Workshop on Feb 22. Let me know during today’s break if you are interested.
