If you need precision good enough for practical applications, it’s very hard to do. All modern CPUs are pipelined, time they spent on every instruction depends on neighbor instructions + data dependencies between them. All modern CPUs have multi-level caches, static analyzers must also simulate what data is in which levels of caches; for many practical problems RAM access dominates computations and L1 cache is ~2 orders of magnitude faster than main RAM. All modern CPUs have very sophisticated power management, they scale frequency based on temperature, they selectively turn on/off their blocks, this too affects time. All modern CPUs have multiple cores, L3 cache is often shared across them, all caches suffer heavy penalty when a line is shared across cores. And so on.

People don’t do it not only because it’s hard, also because running the function and measuring time + memory is much easier, also much more precise.

Even if you don’t care about time and memory complexity and only care about these useless O(N), it’s still very hard because complexity depends on input data. E.g. bubble sort is O(N^2) but it can also be O(N) if the data is mostly sorted already and only a single element needs to be moved.

This seems needlessly complex. Aside from being an interesting thought experiment, what is the practicality of this style auction?
Awesome! I thought about also using interrupts, how much did it affect timing and code size for you?
It looks like the first query run in the REPL takes more time (startup cost). Subsequent runs of that query return around 5ms. Even a query like `SELECT * FROM 1` when executed immediately after starting the REPL will take longer than usual. Even running non-query expression, e.g., `1 + 1` immediately after starting the REPL will take more time to complete than usual.

The time reported by the REPL can be misleading.

There is work that we definitely need to do on performance as we develop PartiQL. Performance is something we have been considering since inception and we will keep considering as we go forward.
> I'd like to hear a coherent argument how realtime or even sub-second pricing of securities and derivatives

I won't touch equities, but surely it's obvious why derivatives have to be priced quickly? When the underlying moves, you have to re-price the derivative, otherwise you're giving away money!
There is nothing in that article that says that the oil fund subsidises the purchase of EVs. As far as I know the oil fund is not used directly for such purposes, can you provide a reference?
Did you just copy/paste from the tutorial?

It's an early reference implementation and demo program to show off the language syntax, it doesn't have much to do with whatever engine actually executes the query and that will be the majority of any real query's timing.

Regardless, even the query parsing and compilation should be much faster if it moves into lower-level language like C++ or Rust.

It's a querying language like SQL, but designed to handle more unstructured and complex data models natively. You wouldn't want to expose this publically for the same reasons you wouldn't expose a SQL interface directly to your database.

GraphQL has some similarities in handling complex queries across multiple data sources, but also has lots of functionality and large ecosystem around offering it as a public API to clients.

The ADA says that businesses have to be accessible. It isn't written with regards to any technology etc. So the Supreme Court can interpret the law as meaning that it covers the internet. Just like if I invent a novel poison and use it to kill someone it doesn't stop being murder because no one knew about that poison when the law against murder was being written.

There have been web accessibility guidelines since 1995 and WCAG 2.0 aka ISO/IEC 40500:2012 has been around since 2012. Section 508 of the Rehabilitation act incorporates those guidelines so if you are following those rules you should be safe.

I've been doing Java development for the past 15 years or so, but the last several years I've really gotten into machine learning. A lot of my effort in this area has just been Kaggle competitions, but as part of my job I've implemented a recommendation system and done some work with NLP. As part of this, I've built a lot of tooling to make it easier to try out various models, label data for training, and interpret the models in context to make it easy to see what they are doing.

While there is a lot I like about my current job, my opportunities for machine learning are diminishing and I'd really like to find something where I can focus on that more full-time.

Not sure where you get the 130k from but yes Norway is strict about applying the rules on refugee status, economic migrants are sent back out unless they qualify for a residence permit (have a job so they can support themselves and their dependents). For those who are allowed in Norway provides free or cheap language classes, accommodation, and enough money to live on. However, unlike other countries, refugees who are granted asylum are not allowed to live just wherever they like, they are scattered around the country and effectively can only move when they can provide the money to do so on their own. So one doesn't get the same degree of concentration of foreign people as one gets, for example, in Sweden where until recently such a policy did not exist. My impression is that this has made Norway a less popular destination for those who are, or cannot prove that they are not, economic migrants.
Side channel knowledge doesn’t break insider trading rules. You need to have a fiduciary duty to someone to betray to be doing insider trading. There needs to be someone who has the right to that knowledge, who you’re supposed to act on behalf of, who doesn’t want you trading on it.

There are many types of “side channel” non public information that aren’t insider trading.

Master's degree in computer science and 5 years of experience in bioinformatics. My bioinformatics experience centers on data processing and analysis workflows for proteomic mass spectrometry experiments, but I'm interested in other "omic" technologies. I'm also particularly interested in working with deep learning and other advanced machine learning techniques for biology/biotech applications.

This is something I'm battling with right now. As I get older, it's more common to see people younger than me being more successful. When you are starting your career, you only see all the possibilities to fulfill your goals. As you age and don't get quite there, you start to question if you are good enough, and wonder if you'll ever reach your goals, or should just give up.

It takes a lot of discipline to keep the right state of mind.

These are essentially 'super-technologies', much like government-requested back doors and master keys. It's not an overstatement to say that the potential they hold is on par with human genetic engineering - something the civilized world has thus far agreed is a road best avoided. Sure, the ethical dilemma of them is enough to give pause - but are the following not much greater risks?

* These systems will crowdsource "evidence", and by proxy, accountability - what happens when a mistake is made?

* Increased centralization will eventually enable 'single point of failure' scenarios in systems of a national/international scale.

* What happens when someone misuses or gains unauthorized access to such systems? Will the damage be reversible?

Such technologies will be deployed before accountability for them is defined, leading to a temporary absence thereof. Systems of the past (digital or otherwise) were inherently tolerant to misuse, malfunctions & misfires because only so much damage could be done before the errant behavior was discovered & handled. Today, how many seconds would it take to plunge a country into chaos?
Why do you expect bad delivery drivers to have poorer tips? I've never adjusted a tip based on the quality of the driver, because I can't measure that. Anyone can hand over a bag of food, so the only thing I see is how long they took. But whether they arrive quickly or slowly is probably the kitchen's fault, or luck of overlapping orders. Realistically, I have nothing to rate them on.

That sounds lovely. As a music collector and enthusiast, I find it hard it indeed hard to share this passion as it ahs become a rather niche interest. I think it's a shame that music has been reduced to background noise these days, a thing you passively and at best semi-consciously consume while doing something else.

I'd love to find a way to have something like a listening session among like-minded people without geographic limitations since it's hard to find other nearby people, let alone actual friends, interested in the same deep and niche genres - a barrier that is easily overcome online where like-minded enthusiasts are listening to the same hidden gems, enjoy the selection of well-regarded curators and browse the same hard to find records on Discogs - unfortunately all of that happens rather isolated in their home. And while I can (and do) broadcast my taste and selection via Soundcloud, Mixcloud or any number of channels and services, I'd love to see something that allows music lovers to come together and share/stream their picks, taking turns, discussing the records in a live-setting. A lossless, audio-streaming chat room if you will.
I meant more specific within the series, like a timestamp.
Programming Light on a Chip
You are kind of right cause it’s harder without a degree. But they are some ways out. You’ll need to study and have projects to showcase on the side. If you’re into low latency stuff, that’s great because a lot of the guys working with hardware and embedded systems are tinkerers and less interested in computer science stuff that you learn in school. Find some projects you’d like to do - maybe around music or some kind of robotics - and go and try and do them on your own. Once you have stuff to show, then it’ll be easier to try to get into professional positions.

Define learning and growth. Do you mean being proficient with the flavour of the month shiny new language or framework; applying the latest syntax in a specific language, adding an additional domain of knowledge you can write code for or being up to date with any of the multitude of skills around writing code?

Often older IT people will recognise a dead-end idea that they have tried before which failed and are hesitant for good reason.

I agree. Another benefit to having the data easily available is apparent when you find papers that study a question that is very similar to what you're interested in but not quite the same. It would be amazing to get their data and apply your own analysis, not just to check for errors, but to pursue your own questions.
1. Here’s a helpful FAQ from Wealthfront that might explain it: https://support.wealthfront.com/hc/en-us/articles/3600224058...

Tl;dr: they distribute your money to multiple FDIC-insured banks.

2. The federal funds rate and LIBOR both remain at 2.25%, give or take daily fluctuations. Furthermore, if you look a little further at Wealthfront, you might notice that they are offering margin loans at 4.75% - 6%, secured by a diversified investment portfolio at 3:1, so it’s entirely conceivable that they could be loaning the same money out again at a profit.

> For the most part, people need to make responsible decisions for themselves.

Right, that would be great, but it's obviously not happening. The question is: given that people want $thing, how do we make sure that $thing doesn't destroy them.

> Of course, if it were a private company profiting from gambling, at least there's a chance the government would work in an oppositional sense to reign it in.

Even if it would, we've seen with prohibition that simply saying "no, you can't" doesn't work. People will gamble. The question is whether they do so in a safe environment with enforced limits, or whether they do in illegal settings with wide-spread fraud, violence and crime.

My bank (kind of like a cooperative set up, but a weird construct too complicated for this) does a similar thing. They sell tickets for a lottery for €10 a pop. €6 or €8 of those go directly to your personal savings account, the rest goes into the lottery. It acknowledges that people want to play the lottery and then provides a less harmful way of doing it, which, imho, is the right way to go about this.

> I wonder what the motivation behind that was --- I'm no cryptographer, but setting up what is effectively an anonymous (EC)DH session first seems to provide no extra protection from an active MITM because it's unauthenticated.

So first let's explicitly point out that it stops passive snooping.

Even in the presence of MitM, it provides protection. An attacker can get access to a specific handshake, but the client will know and can kill the connection and alert the user. It can't be done behind the scenes on every connection.
