What benefits do you expect to see from query cost prediction?
Neat. In the 1970s there was a program that triggered the S100 bus of the time and played Flight of the Bumble Bee on a nearby radio.
Helpful command line tools and tricks
This is my dream job. Yet, offering a 65-75k salary for what is essentially a penta-glob of DBA/ops/programming/testing/manager positions is really weak.

Using most of the tools, its very akin to a scan the barcode at a cash register job and look at the results. It is when the scanner beeps in error, that the experience you pay for comes into play. Not to mention, the cost of living in Houston isn't exactly cheap.
"shaking up" is a pretty generous term here
And thus, it's obligatory that someone recommend Neal Stephenson's _Cryptonomicon_, in which this features quite heavily.

(Not at all confident about this.)

AngrySkillzz aside, I think there's another reason this won't work. From the sound of pimterry's explanation, the timing effects happen in your own code, not OpenSSL's. It's not "hit the cache to slow down OpenSSL", but "hit the cache and see if OpenSSL slows me down". Adding random delays to OpenSSL wouldn't help guard against that.
Mailgun and Sendgrid are too expensive? How so? Mailgun offers 10k emails/month totally free, and it's $0.0005/email or less after that. Sendgrid will give you 40k emails for $10/month, or 100k emails for $20/month.

If you can't afford those prices, your business has bigger problems.
Google self-driving car crashes into a bus
> Also, I think try/catch preventing optimization was fixed.

Do you have a source for this? Try/catch deopts still bubble up in my Chrome profiling, so it seems like they're still a problem.
Being from India, Let me say that it will take huge advancements in AI before self-driving cars could drive on the streets here!

These advances would need to include :-

-Being able to decide what can be considered a road and what cannot.

-Knowledge of Human psychology which additionally needs to cover areas of suicide , homicide, etc.

-Knowledge of Animal psychology

-Understanding of different cultural norms both for humans and animals (I have found that the cows in Bangalore are much less likely to yield way than the cows in Kerala)
Good write-up on it. Probably one of its lasting effects was partial inspiration for The Matrix: the first, mainstream, "thinking-man's," action movie. It had audiences leaving with questions about themselves instead of just flat quotes from a movie. Had plenty of them, too. ;)

Always wanted to see more of this genre. I know they're doing a live action Ghost in the Shell. Have mixed feelings about that. Nonetheless, I'd like to see more movies that have enough tropes and cultural tie-ins to be successful but throw in those GitS or Matrix-style element to really get people thinking.

Most recent in get you thinking, but not mainstream, movies is Ex Machina. Whole movie, minus a few things, is essentially built on the acting and esp dialogue that questions reality. Kind of a budget film but I thought it was great. Just watch the movie not the trailers as there might be some spoilers in there.
I doubt a VR girlfriend would be of much help for the (already) millions of elderly Chinese with dimentia and in need of constant care.

Great post! Makes a lot of sense to move I/O to a thread pool, good thinking :) Now you can control max topology I/O+concurrency not just with Storm but also with thread pool size, yeah? Another question - do you monitor how long a bolt blocks each time waiting for a thread from the pool to be given to it? If the pool has available threads it's instant but if the pool is saturated (backed up on an I/O slowdown for example) it would be good to know?
Exactly. I can't tell you the number of positions I've interviewed for with very challenging questions when their entire app is a basic CRUD app. Many views, basic CRUD. Everyone thinks they need the best.
Because the best case scenario for a weapon is that merely having it prevents an attack.

AdRoll - San Francisco

If you like languages such as Python, JS, C, D, Lua, Erlang, AWS, and/or petabytes of data, this is your dream job.

AdRoll is one of the fastest growing adtech companies, already producing $100M+ in revenue with a small engineering team.

To give an idea how we work, recently we launched a new product on top of a novel data processing pipeline on AWS using Docker, read more about it here:

http://tech.adroll.com/blog/data/2015/09/22/data-pipelines-d...

and more about our approach to data science, see here

I'm happy to tell you more by email (ville@adroll.com) or over coffee in SF.
I don't think these are average refugees. These camps have probably existed for decades and, as the article states, the people inside are armed to the teeth. The whole situation is always just on the brink of devolving into chaos.
If you're not a student, there is still a good way to learn from other entrepreneurs, it's startup accelerators. We participated in Startup Sauna (it's in Finland) and learned from CEO's of NVidia, Supercell, Yousician and many many more. I'm sure, YCombinator and 500 startups are giving an access to even more great people.
In today's world, it is so easy to get caught up in the technology craze. We have all done it. The problem that people don't seem to realize is that while technology is great and it can do amazing things, it can also harm us. We use our phones for GPS, accessing information, etc. and we begin to forget how to "defend" for ourselves. Think about it, when was the last time you had a question and DIDN'T google for the answer after giving it a seconds thought? When was the last time we applied ourselves and critically thought about what we were trying to learn? Technology should be an aid, not a crutch.

What's the Value Delivered to Startups by Accelerators?
I'm not sure you're aware of what's being discussed.

The Square Mile is an area of offices, mostly banks and company headquarters. It's the area of the ancient City of London, the bit the Romans walled off. There are now very few residential buildings. There aren't even any national government buildings, the area was controlled by merchants and guildsmen. Most people commute to work there, but you can say something similar about any 1mi² area in the most central bits of central London — few people live and work in Soho, for example.

Canada Square is in London's second financial district — Canary Wharf.

Most people working in London do live in London. The population of London (meaning the people who pay tax towards the public transport, vote for the mayor etc) is over 8 million.

Many startup companies are not far from the City of London / Square Mile — 5-10 minutes walk.
That applies to any language implementation.

C compilers nowadays praised for speed used to generate worse code than junior Assembly developers on home micros.
Wow, if this works, that is awesome!

I ran across a related issue working on a project that I think helped me understand the broader issue better. I'll relate it here and see if it helps.

We had user search functionality for an internal business application. We allowed searching by several fields, such as name, and phone number, and allowed partial matches, where the first part of a field matched.

Phone numbers were restricted information for some users, and we didn't display them in the search results. But you could search by those fields, if you already knew the value.

It turned out we left 'partial matching' available in the phone number field.

If you knew the name of a particular person, you could do the following:

Enter their name to confirm a single match shows up.

Then enter the same search, but put a single digit in the phone field, say "0". If no result came back, you knew that their phone number didn't start with that digit. So you try the next, 1, 2, 3... when you hit, say 5, you get a result. Now you know their phone number starts with a 5.

So you start on the next digit. 50-, 51-, 52-... and you get the next digit. Eventually you can reveal their entire phone number, and it was fast enough to do manually.

It wasn't super critical for the internal system, so we changed the phone numbers to exact match only and that was fine. but let's continue.

Let's say we had a REALLY slow system, and it checked each digit one at a time, taking one second per digit, and sent back a failure when it hit a non matching digit. We aren't leaking information DIRECTLY, you get no records back for partial matches. But we ARE leaking information indirectly. The attack now works roughly like this:

Do the same verification search to get a record.

Now do the same digit by digit search, start with 0. Carefully time the delay when you submit the question, and when the error shows up. If it's almost instant, you know the first digit failed. If it takes about a second to give you an error, you know the first digit worked.

You then continue to the second digit. One second fails, two seconds verifies.

Using only the timing you can determine each digit, and reveal the entire number. This is not the main information channel, the timings are what they call a side channel. The service that gives you this information by responding with an error and varying the time is an 'oracle' because it answers your questions.

This seems clear at a one-second time scale and obvious when it's explained, but it turns out that even over public networks with enough tries you can determine very small time differences, on the millisecond or less scale.

It turns out there are a lot of variations on this, some of them are very complex, and secure systems need to work very hard to run in the same amount of time ("constant time") for any query to avoid leaking information this way. The timing exploit described above is a very simplified form of the root of the described vulnerability.

This situation helped me understand 'timing attacks' and 'oracles' in a more mundane coding context, and hopefully it will help others.

The tone of the article sounds preemptively dismissive of the visual programming paradigm itself using deficiencies of its implementations. This is like saying OOP is deficient because a language implements it in a bad way. As with text-based programming, visual tooling varies in quality.

Several existing visual tools address the issues the author raises (diff support, searching, modularity etc.). Further, saying that visual tools are not Googleable or have enough following on StackOverflow is a Catch-22 situation. It won't improve until people start using and improving the tooling.

The same applies for other points the author makes. For example, I would argue the lack of open-source visual programming tools is more due to the lack of adoption stemming from FUD than it is from lack of interest in the paradigm itself.

Generalizing what is essentially the state of infrastructure to an entire paradigm (visual logic authoring) doesn't convey the full picture.
I spoke with military logistics folks about ten years ago. They told me that at one point, DoD had over 40,000 containers missing in Iraq.

40,000.

But yes, if you keep throwing money at a problem, it tends to go away. Or at least disappear.

For as long as there have been armies, good logistics continues to be a critical need. There's a reason large army deployments are always accompanied by large black markets.

Talia has also confidently maintained on Twitter that she was told she was fired for the letter, even though Yelp's CEO wrote that her dismissal was unrelated to it. I'm personally more inclined to believe her. It would be far too coincidental that she was let go immediately after the letter but the letter was not involved in any way. Once you've established that part of the CEO's response was fabricated, the rest of it doesn't seem trustworthy either.

The main difference is that you the developer can test with a known compiler and know what the performance characteristics are before you release your code: when Microsoft releases VisualStudio 2018, your existing application doesn't change until you rebuild it. In contrast, for code running in a web browser or something like the JVM, your existing code may run faster or slower without you even knowing about the new version.
Ordoro | Austin, TX | Full-time | Onsite (we'll pay relocation)

Ordoro makes it easy for e-commerce businesses to ship orders and manage inventory. Everyday our software helps thousands of small businesses save lots of time and make more money by simplifying and automating the shipping process. It's not a glamorous space, but we make it awesome. We're well funded and have strong revenue.

We need a great devops/DBA/sysadmin. We really love postgres, continuous deployment, and easy to use tools and you should too!

We're a small team so you'll have the opportunity to make a huge impact. We only have 9 devs on the team, but we code hard to make Ordoro awesome. We're serious about having fun while we work. We're also serious about taking time off to enjoy the things you miss when you're constantly stuck behind a keyboard. Bonus points if you can make us laugh or cry.

We’re currently moving all of our infrastructure from Rackspace into Amazon, and trying to take advantage of all the great services they provide. We’re good app developers, but we’re horrible ops developers. We need you to help us navigate the weird world of IAM, lambda, API gateway, SNS, SQS, EC2, RDS, redshift, cloudformation, and on and on. We’ve worked hard to make our ops tools work well in Rackspace, but we’re ready for you to make them as awesome as our application code.

In the first 2 days you'll commit and deploy code to production. In the first 2 weeks you'll help us transition a small project from RAX to AMZN. In 3 months you'll be completely responsible for all ops-related activities. In 6 months you'll be running the company

You'll get the normal startupy benefits:

- A paycheck

- Equity in the company

- Health, dental, and vision insurance

- 401k (though we don't match yet)

- Unlimited time off

- Whatever gear you need for the job
