Maybe I’m an outlier, or maybe my baseline is totally off b/c I’ve spent so much time in C++, but I don’t find Rust to be syntactically ugly. There are some choices I might make differently, but I think one would be hard pressed to express its ideas in a fundamentally better way.

Rust is a relatively ugly language. It's fine. If you want a pretty language, use Ruby.

@giulio_pibiri @jnalanko @scarecrow00007, you know your like of @giulio_pibiri's comment isn't yet private 🤣.

@jnalanko The type aliasing paragraph here notes this: en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language… 2/2
English
@jnalanko Right, but that's the other way around. Strict aliasing allows conversion between pointers of "similar" data types, and the only exceptions are `char *` and `std::byte *`. Pointers can be cast to these, but that's one-way-only defined behavior. 1/2

@nomad421 @daniel_c0deb0t @giulio_pibiri And in the "smaller-scale" tradeoff of RAM-cache, architecture specific factors and params are more crucial than in generic RAM-disk scenarios, block-placement policies are quite different, etc. As such generic ext-mem design principles may not always optimally translate to ...

One weird trick algorithm researchers don’t want you to know! SSD read throughout is really fast now (and will only get faster) so hmmmmm maybe you should be designing new algorithms to take advantage of this instead of trying to fit everything in RAM

Found this gem in the BCALM repo (github.com/GATB/bcalm/blo…). @RayanChikhi, @pashadag et al, I couldn't agree and relate to this more (and isolated cycles additional to self-loops).

@giulio_pibiri I was just reading this paper last week and discussing it with Laxman! An excellent read.

It was a joy to have shared the lab with @jasonnfan—very sharp, dedicated, and passionate scientist and friend!
𝕐@nomad421
Today, @jasonnfan successfully defended his PhD dissertation! It's been an absolute honor & pleasure to work with Jason over the past several years. It's always bittersweet when such a talented and kind colleague moves on, but I'm excited to see the great things he's going to do!

@giulio_pibiri Does each k-mer need to be present uniquely in the string? Or are repetitions allowed?

Are you a C++ developer who's having a baby? Here are some nice C++ names for your child:
[](){}
template <template <typename> typename T>
template <typename T, typename U>
auto foo(T x, U y) -> decltype(x+y);
template<class T>
void bar(T&& x)
std::decay<T>::type
And more

Is the expected number of distinct k-mers in a uniformly random string of length n known? I'm not looking for empirical plots, there are plenty of those. I'm looking for a formula. Any pointers?
