I am not sure what is "the draft human genome" you are talking about. Two separate human genomes were published in 2001: the HGP genome and the celera genome. The HGP genome then didn't use Venter DNA. It evolved into the current human reference genome. The celera genome contained Venter DNA but it has been completely forgotten nowadays.

No, at initial release, the human genome from the NIH side was done by bac-to-bac, not by shotgun.

You are confused by the human genome project vs the celera genome project. No, the human genome project didn't include his sample.

Well, they can keep stealing as long as someone open weight their models.

Going from something like "Go lacks a builtin arena allocation" to "Go risks becoming the COBOL" is a long stretch. First, Go is slower than C/C++/rust without complex memory allocation. Introducing an arena allocator won't fix that. Second, arena allocation often doesn't work for a lot of allocation patterns. Third, plain arena allocator is easy to implement when needed. Surely a builtin one would be better but Go won't fall without it.

How is "full booked" a real shame?

Pypy is 10x faster and is compatible with most cpython code. IMHO it was a big mistake not to adopt JIT during the 2-to-3 transition.

Are there studies to show those paying $200/month to openai/claude are more productive?

I wouldn't say this easily if I were the sacrifice, especially as a visa holder.

People here have little idea about how Harvard works. Harvard is financially vulnerable. It is currently running on a deficiency considering the endowment. And Harvard can't freely use most endowment for personnels anyway. If the government takes away funding, Harvard will have a financial crisis. I guess the leadership made the decision in hope someone could stop the government before bad things happen but when bad things do happen, you will probably see mass layoffs of researchers in particular in life sciences and biomedical research.

Some part of this article is opinionated. Curl may be well written but this is more likely to be the result of the overall structure than the number of characters per line. Actually I don't know whether curl is well written. Popularity doesn't always equate to code quality. I have used curl APIs before. I don't like them.

std::deque typically uses chunked arrays. It is more complex but tends to be faster than a ring buffer based implementation.

The most important part is to have a standard, which doesn't need to be perfect. On argument parsing, I actually think the GNU way is the best so far. I have seen various deviations from GNU and I personally regard all of them inferior.
