Not just that. FTP sites have tendency to not fail. HTTP downloads are really hard to keep up at 2gb+ over someones wifi. Dropped connections are quite normal and doing the correct resume work is possible but not trivial in practice. So fo

Aspera, is the current winner in Bioinformatics. The European Bioinformatics Institute and US NCBI are both big users of it. Mainly for INSDC (Genbank/ENA/DDBJ) and SRA (Short Read Achive) uploads. For UniProt a smaller dataset we

Have a look at the precision series on their small business site. I am getting one of those with 32gb for myself this Christmas.

Sometimes it is worth looking at what if we go all in on a technology, what happens and how will that play out. So lets assume we are going nuc crazy and are ordering a 10 GW of plants. Can any nuclear power plant builder actually build thi

Sparql can scale significantly beyond local memory size. As it is really a relational algebra. Especially for the pattern matching style queries that most Cypher and sparql queries really are. Traversal depend on locality and depend vastly

Wikidata, uses Blazegraph and the shown services run against that using the SPARQL api/general query language.

The BigInteger implementation in java uses better multiplication algorithms in Java 1.8 then in the version of 1.6 tested [1], switching to toom-cook[2] for even larger numbers. So that in practice Fibonacci in java becomes an benchmark of

Are there any that support the current class file format? ARM jazelle is no longer being worked on. So I would be surprised if there is anything that can do Java SE directly. JavaCard of course being quite different than standard Java.

While this a first step. It opens up very exiting possibilities, not just for java but also ruby,python and R. Because this won't be pure AOT but a hybrid with JIT as well. Using the new graal JIT which is written in java but with the

It is the first steps to a hybrid JIT/AOT future for Java and JVM capable languages. Very exiting ;)

Not on an industrial scale. Currently, solar and battery is roughly similar too diesel generated electricity in cost (i.e. very expensive) but for load displacement solar is very hard to beat. In this case the Abu Dhabi grid is basically ru

Its complicated, and depends very much on which country you are from, which permit class you are applying too etc... Which means the usual applies, if you are from a generally rich country then it's easy otherwise its hard and can be a

Problem is the EEA option depends on 31 veto possibilities !!! what will the UK have to give up to avoid those vetos? Not every country in the EU does a lot of trade with the UK and those will want their pound of flesh, now that the UK has

I think that the EU will. The UK economy is a significant part of the EU economy but the interests of continental governments are now aligned against the UK. They are basically all thinking what can we get out of the UK, their horsetrading

I agree, I just started using Zstd for uniprot.org (dev branch) and it looks like it is a lot faster in decoding than deflate or zlib and even smaller on disk. It is one of those things where the improvement really matters for us and gives

Problem is we should be using ligatures not single letters. Guilty of the error as well. But it can be done e.g. http://webdesign.tutsplus.com/articles/your-logo-as-a-web-fo...

The standard JVMs do give memory back. The standard settings are not very friendly to do so but it does work.

For the JVM Shenandoah GC [1] can do so as well (or at least very low consistent pauses) and is available via EA builds or the OpenJDK in fedora 24 [2]. This is with pointer happy java code, not with special effort to have pointer less data

I understand how you feel. You are being hired to solve problems, and figuring out what to solve is a key part of the job. Solving problems is your aim, writing code is only helpful if it solves the problem. I love the days where I get into

Plus the way that districts for the house of commons operate... leading to a less than representative commons.

If you call the UK a democracy then yes the EU is very democratic. Also assuming whitehall will produce less redtape than brussels is probably not going to be true :(
