Chiming in for something unrelated. Fortran is actually pretty cool and if you need to do a lot of number crunching for scientific calculations starting a project in Fortran is not that bad. I started working on Fortran04 and back then I really couldn’t see any advantage of c++ if we’re talking computations. Now with Fortran23 we’re talking about quite a modern language.

I mean, if you’re considering Fortran for a project your only other likely choice is c++, and I tell you Fortran feels much smoother and easy to work with if you have to do calculations. I guess if you don’t worry about it being new you could consider Julia, but for many applications Fortran still has its well deserved spot.

Bunch of things. Indeed Nvidia drivers happened frequently, but that is something you generally expect and got used to fixing and as such it’s no big deal. I remember much pain with Xorg, but also had problems with alsa, network manager, keychain and several other core systems.

Also, try losing power during some pacman transaction and have fun figuring out what exactly is preventing your system from booting up.

When using arch I remember it often happened that an update would mess up something. Not all the time, but every few months it would happen that I’d have to spend a morning after the update figuring out what got messed up.

I have been using Debian a lot in the past and now I’m on fedora. Reason I’m on fedora: got a new laptop and figured I could go Debian or try out another distribution. I installed it and didn’t have any problems, a couple times I had to submit bug reports to the packaging team but not much else. It works and I never felt like I need some other system. All feels pretty similar to Debian after all, not much difference. One thing I favor over Debian is that packages are a bit more up to date: in Debian I’d often find myself backporting stuff from Sid. In fedora I don’t really need workarounds to get new features in stable software. But still, that’s just a minor annoyance. But still, I use a lot of very specific software in development; for normal use I really don’t see much difference between the two.

General use package? Sure Specialized package to do something specific in a specific field? Good luck.

I still have flashbacks of installing a c++ library which had to be transpired (or whatever the term is) to c# for another library to work, and having to go manually fix several function and type declarations manually to make it work. And we are talking about the golden standard library in the field…

I at times have to install completely undocumented software. I love ccmake as it lists all available options. I guess there are other ways, but that makes it so easy.

Then it’s just a couple of days figuring out all necessary libraries.

How do you have more available space on your machine than on your nas? You can exclude directories easily with rsync, but in this case the best solution to me feels like buying an additional drive to stick into your nas.

We need gzip encoding factors. That way with a single chromosome we’ll be able to store all required information. Just take DNA, transcribe it to gzRNA, decode it to mRNA and pipe it to the ribosomes. My setup can do all this in just one elegant line of code and transcription factors.

I did have troubles passing the Anubis check from time to time. It does not offer an alternative way to prove you’re not a bot and locks you out of the website completely.
