@dula2006 @AlgebraFact This cannot be a Mersenne prime, as 82,589,957 is not a prime in the first place: 82,589,957 = 37 x 2,232,161

We had a blast building this interface to our first publicly released machine learning model. You can use PQ Librarian to predict the likelihood of obtaining specific hits when screening a combinatorial peptide library. More exciting things to come soon, stay tuned!

We're excited to host the upcoming "Bits in Bio" meetup in April. If you're working at the intersection of tech and biotech, don't miss the chance to meet us and others in the community!
Bits in Bio@bitsinbio

Our second Toronto meetup is coming soon! April 12th — excited to have some awesome talks about @proteinqure , software architecture at @Cyclica, and a web platform for antibody panel design. RSVP here: lu.ma/h2f0vw6u

@stylewarning ASAP, and test in CI, but mark it as xfail to avoid having the CI fail on the main branch.

Suppose you found a bug in software you contribute to at work. You file a bug report with a repro. You triage and the time-to-resolution is unknown. May be days; may be a couple months. You write a unit test. When do you commit the unit test to your main branch?

@stylewarning In situations like this, I like to use nmtui to get a proper dose of that old-school terminal user interface nostalgia

I have Debian installed on a laptop without Gnome, and I have no idea (1) how I got WiFi to work and (2) how to change WiFi networks.

Evidence of physics beyond the Standard Model grows more likely. Today new results from CERN show violation of lepton flavour universality at 3.1 sigma confidence level (~99.9%): home.cern/news/news/phys…

@quantumVerd @henryquantum I suppose this is the correct take. To paraphrase one of the greats, "with not-yet-great computational power comes great responsibility"🕷️

@TomasBabej @henryquantum I think we're all responsible. Just about every popular article out there talks about "quantum parallelism" and qcs' power for optimization. I guess it's echoes of DWave marketing reawakened by work on QAOA by the community, misconstrued by journalist, ultimately read by execs.

@henryquantum @quantumVerd Well, I don't want to call anybody out as being responsible, but using weighted max-cut to solve TSP is one of the examples in Qiskit docs😛 Maybe we need to start writing hype-proof documentation for quantum frameworks😅 for greater good. qiskit.org/documentation/…

@mstechly Instead of testing exactly for certain output, I'd move to property-based checking approached (most popularized by QuickCheck in Haskell). Assuming Python ecosystem, Hypothesis is a good library to help with that: hypothesis.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

What are the different ways to write unit tests for the code that's inherently random? Like, you know, running quantum circuits? Setting a seed is one way, but it has its issues and I'm wondering if someone came up with better solutions :)

I’m excited to announce that I’ve published the first episode of my podcast – Noisy Intermediate-Scale Podcast! In this episode I talk about the job of the Quantum Software Engineer – What it is about and how it’s different from similar positions? 1/2 youtube.com/watch?v=COtCpS…

PEP 637 "Support for indexing with keyword arguments" hit python-dev mailing list just couple of hours ago. I'm really looking forward to this addition to Python, writing df[column=value] instead of df[df['column']=value] would be a game changer! python.org/dev/peps/pep-0…

@korymath Alternatively, once can use "rm -I" for less intrusive confirmation mode (triggered by recursive deletion or deletion of more than three items).

@stylewarning Well, it took Knuth a year (1977-1978) to develop the first version of TeX, so you still might have it in you Robert :) the real question is.. are your macros Turing-complete?

I planned on writing some documentation this evening but instead wrote Common Lisp reader macros and a formatting compiler that can be used to write rich documentation, then got tired and called it a night. I’m like a really, really poor-man’s Knuth.

@shoyer Once had a collaborator tell me it's supposed to be the new standard, so I went with it. 🤷‍♂️ I guess the biggest plus is that it has enables syntax highlighting

@mmsltn Two months ago @jsci actually managed to come across one job post for the Bytedance team, we initially thought it's a practical joke or an autogenerated job post😅

At this rate, we should probably expect drug hunters to become major influencers over the coming decade.
