I think it was a reference to the way we get electricity. Burn gas at the plant to heat water to run steam through turbine to get electricity ... and then use electricity to heat water again? Just use gas at the end point. Getting heat from

Last I looked at benchmarks, only lz4 level 1 compression is faster than fastest zstd setting. At all other lz4 levels, zstd has a mode as fast but with significantly better compression. But that is throughput. How latency (on small files&#

Hoped to see opinions on Unum [1] Correct me if I'm wrong, but most machine learning does happen around 1.0. Unum should give more precision for same bits, same precision for less bits around 0 and 1. And some other interesting feature

I'm sure developers are not measuring their own productivity in lines of code. Rather how fast tasks get completed or how easy it is to modify code etc

15% is quite outdated. There have been major updates to nanopores and software. Typical single read error rate is less than 5% these days. Single read accuracy is not as important for such projects. As coverage gets to 50-60X, expected asse

Thank you I was in a camp with many other comments here, that this is 21st century and supporting UTF-8 should be a default. But that malware example makes me almost do a 180. Who in their right mind thought that full Unicode should be allo

Bad example. Empty shelves in USSR only occurred at later years and were not a (direct) result of having a planned economy. It was a bad side offect of introducing parts of self-regulation a la market economy. It doesn't take much plan
