I am an experienced backend developer and bioinformatics engineer (not a bioinformatician). Recently, I've been learning some practical ML chops (PyTorch). Eager to explore new areas like machine learning, functional programming (OCaml, Clojure, etc), or observability techs (OpenTelemetry, eBPF).

Ask HN: What are some solutions for ensuring package security?

In light of _another_ NPM worm, I am wondering what can new languages do to avoid such problems. I recall reading somewhere about auditable software supply chains?

I’m a bioinformatics engineer who is open to scientific programming jobs, no matter how small (e.g. even writing simple scripts, websites, fixing old bugs, documentation, etc.)

Ask HN: Does anyone have OpenBSD projects looking for unpaid/paid help?

Ask HN: Master's program in Cryptography/CS recommendations?

nhgiang — Fri, 14 Mar 2025 16:06:52 +0000

I'm looking for one that welcomes someone with no research experience and focuses on building said skill, i.e. a place that actually trains researchers, and not a paper mill or IT school (nothing wrong with IT schools, btw. I'm just not looking for them).

Currently, I’m using csrankings as a signal, but I’m aware that those are based on research outputs, so it may not correlate with teaching quality. Or does it?

What do you think?

Anything related to the Ceph filesystem is probably a good reference.

What are some good (career-wise, so not overhyped but not dying either) STEM fields for CS graduates to pivot into?
