I'm going to try something next month. AI deskilling is real. I'm going a month without it. blog.stephenturner.us/p/ai-dry-july
#Snakemake 9.23 has been released. It adds the ability to use gh/gl shorthands for specifying source files (e.g. Snakefiles) from Github oder Gitlab repositories. In addition, source retrieval from Github/Gitlab has been optimized and further secured. snakemake.github.io
Another #Snakemake release (9.22.0). We have added a new default pathvar, new semantic helpers for choosing directories or files from alternatives, extended provenance information and Python 3.14 support. In addition various bugs have been fixed. snakemake.github.io
It’s amazing how quickly we lose fluency in languages we don’t use frequently. I think many coders are going to find out the hard way that we don’t call programming languages that just for convenience.
All to say I like this idea and will likely try the same (outside existing build-AI-to projects.)
Congrats to @leoackermann.bsky.social on winning RECOMB's best poster award for his work on compressing pairwise distance matrices!

Jeremy Wang developed rammap, a minimap2 rewrite in Rust. It achieves comparable or better performance than minimap2 and produces identical output to minimap2. During rewrite, Jeremy found two long-existing bugs in minimap2 which are fixed in v2.31. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
