In the long having a triple based API does not mean you need to have a single triple table based storage. In the SPARQL world that is actually quite interesting as different systems have very different data layouts while maintaining the sam

BadWolf is interesting in its temporal aspect. But IMHO has dropped a bit to much from the RDF world to really take off. Also I paid the price in early adoption of SPARQL/RDF. Not looking to repeat that with an even earlier adoption of

Nice to see. Is SPARQL support planned? I am wondering because it has a triplestore directory. In the meantime a more interesting production ready open source distributed graph database is worth looking at: https://www.blazegraph

Per wikipedia 4004 has 2,300 transistors. A 18-core Xeon Haswell-E5 5.5 billion, so that is about 2.3 million of them on 22nm and 661mm2 of silicon. In that features went from 10 micro meter, to 22 nano meter! A scaling of 10,000 in 40 year

Agree and disagree. The thing I was going for is that compscience advantages don't seem to matter for language adoption. i.e. popularity does not correlate to compsci purity.

Yes, and now that Java finally has these modern features: people are migrating to GO who lack many :( But then LISPs have always been shunned for bad reasons. While crazy bad languages like C,Java and PHP are picked up by the masses.

What I really detest in Amazon Adverts, is the tracked adverts for stuff they wont sell to me. I live in Switzerland, and some things I can order at amazon.de, others not. I often only find out at checkout which it is. So lets say I want to

I think it is easier to do frequest statistics "ok", then to asses whether your priors are going to be any good. Especially when looking at systems we don't really understand very well.

This is similar to a system by Enercon using new batteries, one of the largest wind turbine builders. They have more details and pictures in their magazine "windblat" http://www.enercon.de/fileadmin/Redakteur&

I think this is a fantastic comment and I completely agree with it. If we are willing to accept thousands of dead people so we get to work on time, we should well accept thousands of dead people for our core liberties and beliefs. Its diffi

The new query plan stabilization features in 12cEE really help with this. Hints are a pain when upgrading Oracle major versions as they can affect query correctness, as my boss found out painfully last week ;(

Unfortunately yes, the compression options and existing parallel code in Oracle means that at the moment IMHO Oracle performs better than PG at that scale. There are multi petabyte Oracle RAC instances in existence, while on the other hand

You missed the sarcasm quotes around the "feature" in the grandparent post.

C is like running around with scissors in your hand because it allows you to cut paper faster when needed. Yes, its true but it is also likely to cost your eyes. Java FOSS code is often faster, more secure, and a lot easier to reason about

Not magically, but with a lot of technical effort Rust does solve those problems and at the same speed. As in a Rust compiler will generate equivalent assembly as C in equivalent cases. With practically for now some places where Rust will w

Could be, but I guess that burning coal will not lead to enough value and will roar back less than the other sources.

Getting the variants out is where the analysis starts. What does the variation mean, which ones correlate with a detectable phenotype. Which ones are affecting regulatory systems. Genomics England is brilliant because it has good access to

We collectively just don't know. Not even in the cutting edge literature. Humanity, only has a basic understanding of what the biochemical role of many proteins is, and due too that also a similar idea of what the genes role is in the

If for 50% of the genes (human) we have no idea of function, then its hard to determine at this point what is a loss-of-function mutation in the first place. Source: I am the lead web developer for uniprot.org, and I deal with lack of real

Of course its a VCF file which we hope contains the variants ;( the tech is still fickle and so is some of the biology... Soon we are going to go towards variant graphs and VCFs will disappear again, slowly (IMHO).

Analysis is custom if you are doing genomics right at this time. Either you are doing something pre-clinical, and you better understand what you are doing i.e. analysis in a black box is not ok. Or you are not dealing with human stuff at al

And it's a graph database as well with sparql support. Maklogic is really flexible that way.
