Needleman-Wunsch Algorithm for Global Sequence Alignment in Python - CodesOfMyLife: " Great! So I decided to start from beginning of the chain by learning some dynamic programming methods as a prelude to my holy grail (not really!). And first in the chain came Needleman-Wunsch method for global pairwise alignment."Sequence alignment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sequence alignment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "In bioinformatics, a sequence alignment is a way of arranging the sequences of DNA, RNA, or protein to identify regions of similarity that may be a consequence of functional, structural, or evolutionary relationships between the sequences.[1] Aligned sequences of nucleotide or amino acid residues are typically represented as rows within a matrix. Gaps are inserted between the residues so that identical or similar characters are aligned in successive columns."python - Breadth-first search trace path - Stack Overflow

Deploying Node.js with systemd | Ruben Vermeersch (rubenv) - The Life of RubenV: "This talk is about how we deploy Node.js. Using one of the widely available deployment platforms (such as Heroku, NodeJitsu or the Joyent Cloud) gives you access to a highly advanced and modern platform in a heartbeat. I’ll show you how you can get some of that magic too, if you prefer to run on your own infrastructure."fail0verflow ::

While MACs can be built out of hash functions (e.g. HMAC), and hash functions can be built out of block ciphers like AES (e.g. using the Davies–Meyer construction), not all MACs are also hash functions.

Stop punishing your users and learn some design | Daniel Pradilla: "One thing that never ceases to amaze me is how bad in-house enterprise applications look and behave: clashing color combinations, buttons that don’t respond to clicks, messy forms, elements that look like links but aren’t, inconsistent non-standard controls, no user feedback whatsoever, ugly reports, you know the drill. It’s even more incredible how the poor users find the courage and patience to put up with those monstrosities.Jeff Dean facts: How a Google programmer became the Chuck Norris of the Internet. - Slate Magazine
