I thought you were getting rid of horrible job descriptions.


you shouldn't dismiss this as an argument over semantics if your understanding of the term differs from researchers' use of the term. if you introduce "a fast tool for XYZ" and researchers understand XYZ to mean A, where you understand it to mean B, then the tool is not useful for researchers to perform what they know as XYZ.

tools like BLAST are extremely sophisticated and have been under development for decades, and I'm fairly confident they've moved past naive string comparisons by now.


Fair. Though I'm not convinced "ungapped sequence alignment" is particularly confusing to a researcher, considering there are tools and papers that have existed for decades using this description [1][2][3]. Though the algorithm described in my article is extremely focused on raw performance (and relatively naive with scoring), I would still choose to categorize it as primarily a tool that deals with ungapped sequence alignment, specifically supporting IUPAC degenerate nucleotide sequences. Thus, I believe the initial argument is, indeed, overly pedantic.

And to be clear, nowhere am I comparing what I've developed to BLAST. (They have very different applications.)

Also in Haskell: https://github.com/haskoin/haskoin


From their README:

   Features: 
   * [...]
   * Headerchain implementation (Blockchain with headers only)
   * [...]
This makes Haskoin more of an SPV client rather than a full-node client.

Much of the wording on their website is annoyingly imprecise --

> N-Gram, the latter part of her surname, is a technique used in computational linguistics.

it's not a technique; it's just a name for a sequence of n things. Also, I've never seen the 'N' or 'G' capitalized.


Well, Matt Casey and I thought it was clever, if not a bit funny; Amy Ingram, A.I. and Ngram in one. What's not to like!? :-)


Here are some people who are not going to like it: https://www.linkedin.com/vsearch/p?firstName=AMY&lastName=IN...

[105 of them as I write this...plus their coworkers.]


I am not sure I would be offended if somebody called a service "Dennis" (probably the opposite). That aside, use Andrew Ingram instead, or name her yourself and move her to your domain (the most obvious premium product we have in mind).


what fraud costs? please elaborate


bitcoin transaction fees do not depend on the amount transferred. for a standard p2pk transaction of any amount the fee is less than 50 cents https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Transaction_fees


Less than half a cent, actually. Many people pay more than they need for no real reason.
