    I made an open-source Rust program for memory-efficient genomics▲17

    My cofounder and I run a startup in oncology, where we handle cancer genomics data. It occurred to me that, thanks to a recent complexity theory result, there's a clever way to run bioinformatics algorithms using far less RAM. I built this Rust engine for running whole-genome workloads in under 100MB of RAM. Runtime is a little longer as a result - O(TlogT) instead of O(T). But it should enable whole-genome analytics on consumer-grade hardware.

    Shrouded, secure memory management in Rust▲5

    Hi HN! I've been building a project that handles high-value credentials in-process, and I wanted something more robust than just zeroing memory on drop. A comment on a recent Show HN[0] made me realize that awareness of lower-level memory protection techniques might not be as widespread as I thought. The idea here is to pull out all the tools in one crate, with a relatively simple API. * mlock/VirtualLock to prevent sensitive memory from being swapped (eg the KeePass dump) * Core dump exclusion using MADV_DONTDUMP on Linux & Android * mprotect to minimize exposure over time * Guard…
