"Former Goldman Sachs commodities chief Jeffrey Currie said this week the real reason the oil price had not returned meaningfully above $100 a barrel in the past few weeks was not …

Their business model is to allow as many possible "valid" transactions, not to serve their "clients". They're a PSP...

Realistically, without data from a large testset that compares this thoroughly to Samtools (and others?), I wouldn't touch this. Note to the OP: specify a focus please? short, long…

And yet, Escape from Tarkov is not on Steam, which would seem 5o contradict what you're saying.

Wait. You built a new language, that there's thus no training data for. Who the hell is going to use it then? You certainly won't, because you're dependent on AI.

I would argue that craftsmanship includes a thorough understanding and cognitive model of the code. And, as far as I understand it, these agents are syntactic wonders but can not r…

So, I respect the entrepeneurship and technical skills to make this. Well done! That being said, this is insane. Maintaining your social network is a skill, just like being able to…

Lots of mayo.. and butter. It's more like a butterich, realistically. ;)

I'm already having flashbacks of how the tobacco industry faired..

Think about moving. Job markets are vastly different geographically and have been for some time.

It's kind of weird that Romania has done so well, given that amount of turmoil in Romanian politics and Romania in general in the last 20 years. Basically, it went up for Romania b…

Idiotic and massively overlooks/underestimates how complex biology is. What about beneficial and neutral but important bacteria and viruses? "Air" is actually a complex soup of all…

Take theater classes. Or join a (team) sports club. Both teach you skills that you most likely will not acquire elsewhere and that are directly applicable to interviews. Also, havi…

I can understand this for "small" data, say less than 10 Mb. In bioinformatics, basically all of the file formats are human-readable/text based. And file sizes range between 1-2Mb …

Further down in the discussion, he also adds this comment, which is also good: https://github.com/Cyan4973/xxHash/issues/229#issuecomment-6...

This comment on github, by Yann Collet (of zstd fame), is the most enlightening, practical information about the practical uses of hashes and checksums that I've seen about hash co…

See "Debt, the first 5000 years" by Graeber. Debt exists because of (the threat of) violence. Money exists because of debt (.. is in fact debt). Modern society is based on our mone…

I worked as an open source developer (remote) between 2011 and 2016. At the end, my social skills were deteriorating (despite a reasonable social life and hobbies) and I was less m…

Agree fully with recruiters being BS. Google keyword alerts/searches and/or word of mouth, although the latter is less trustworthy. Search , goshdarnit! Have also randomly contacte…

Spent basically 19 years doing enterprise software dev for your typical slew of companies: logistics, banking, fintech, retail, etc. After a particularly unpleasant startup experie…

At some point, hopefully we'll also figure out how to get AI to catch itself when it makes bugs. This will also be an important skill. Or otherwise to recognize what type of bugs t…

I think there's a good chance of there being some really bad bugs/system failures in about 25 years because of this. "AI can do code" -> less experienced engineers -> no one has de…

Wow. The reviewer/writer manages to completely miss some of Graeber's key points. The reviewer writes "That some questions about inequality are obscure or ill-framed does not indic…

Couldn't agree more. Thank you for saying this.
