As discussed earlier, using Crypt4GH with remote keys is a vital ingredient to make the whole ecosystem work and protect sensitive genomic data at rest. A similar issue arises when there is a system - such as a repository platform - that needs to process uploaded Crypt4GH containers. With the latest Crypt4GH 0.12 release the solution has arrived.

Working on YubiKey support through GnuPG to enable working with Crypt4GH containers protected by private key stored in a trusted device, it seemed like a natural extension to keep the key locally and use it remotely - for example on a high-performance computing server.

Do you know someone who is colorblind - or are you yourself? Color blindness is relatively common vision deficiency, so let's have a look, how we deal with this challenge in the software we are developing.

In a previous post we wrote about the challenges of implementing DAG scoping model for bindings in certain Qi forms. Today we are about to witness an attempt to bring similar scoping rules to plain Scheme and we may reason a bit whether it could be useful in practice.

Qi is an interesting, flow-oriented programming language. It has a very tacit vibe. But still - sometimes it is useful to bind values to named identifiers. And with certain flow forms you end up with strange binding scopes.
