Epitome of "it just works".

In that case, the program runs cleanly, even with sanitizers. This is one of the *many* issues I have with C++; the absurd complexity of manual curation of "unspecified but valid" moved-from states etc. I just want the warm embrace of Rust's Result... youtu.be/Klq-sNxuP2g?... 2/2

That kind of is one of the goals of lightweight RNA-seq quantification methods ;P.

That's fair. In C and C++ I am an "always {}" guy, so I do those instinctively anyway. I think the lack of the (cond) parentheses is very natural to me because I have been using Rust a lot and also that is how it looks in Python. So right now, it's easy to leave off the () by mistake.

C++ and the story of the missing *defined behavior*!

C) Speaker thinks what they have to say is more important than what the speakers after them have to say, and goes way over time without even demonstrating thought on the transgression.

Congratulations, Zamin!

I'd actually like to see @vanhollen.senate.gov in a top leadership position! I'd also like to see him help ensure Schumer isn't there. Most importantly, I'd like to see them all take on Trump, again and again, on everything. Slow him to a crawl until the midterms.

Yes; Trump is the perpetual bad guy. He was the bad guy yesterday, he will be the bad guy tomorrow. Trump is the war. If we want to win the war, we can't have shitty generals who sabotage us. The democrats have no control over Trump, but they can immediately effect changes in their own leadership.

Yea; it's so easy, in part, BECAUSE Schumer sucks at his job, as does Durbin. You know, they can be moved out of leadership. That's something democrats can control. Chuck has repeatedly proven unequal to the moment, why the hell should he remain as the inept senate minority leader?

Yes. Physical access to the device is a strong assumption for sec flaws. The remote authentication exploit was the one that, by far, bothers me most, as I feel like a reasonable security audit would've immediately caught it (again, writing unencrypted tokens to a world readable loc. just seems bad).

I mean; my University makes me 2FA 36 times to log onto a campus machine. Seems like a company making privacy critical sequencing software could maybe split the difference 🤣.

Yes; I think the security standards for sequencing related software that is generating the data should be higher than most common web apps. The hyperbole; perhaps a valid criticisms, but perhaps that's required by a Nature family journal 😂.

Also, the writing of user secure tokens to an unencrypted,world readable location seems like an elementary security faux pas. Is it the worst vulnerability ever? No; not close. But does it show a lack of reasonable security practices, historically, on the part of ONT? Seems that way.

Well, I think it's more than that. If a bad actor does bad things, then a lack of proper security ensures that the sensitive data isn't safe. Relying on authentication by IP seems a *bad* idea for a sequencer.

I did the driving around thing during one of the summer events. Got to the middle of nowhere and ... not a God damned thing; just night ...

People have claimed this thing in MD like 3-4 times in the past year. I have not seen this shit ONCE. Every time, I feel like I've been duped just st standing outside in the dark just staring up at a black sky...

*sequencers... obviously
