Stateless | Boulder, CO | Onsite | stateless.net

At Stateless we are building something special. Not just in terms of a disruptive technology but also in terms of culture. A culture were people authentically personify our organizational values. Supportive. Sincere. Studious. Striving. Stateless.

Stateless is on a mission to reinvent network connectivity. Central to that was our initial innovation, where we demonstrated an ability to efficiently decouple state from processing in network functions—a task deemed infeasible in high-performance networking systems, but in doing so, we have opened the door for fundamentally changing how networks are built. Now, we are building the product around that vision. VCs have backed us, and early adopters have validated the business opportunity.

We are hiring for a variety of roles: from C++, Python, and Kotlin developers to DevOps, sales and support engineers.

Open positions:

* High Performance Network Programmer - https://boards.greenhouse.io/stateless/jobs/4285482002

* Mid-Level High Performance Network Programmer - https://boards.greenhouse.io/stateless/jobs/4349420002

There have been a lot of Ryzen 3 or EPYC 2 discussions recently, so I figured that the community may be interested in the official documentation for how to optimize these processors.

The lingo is a bit hard to get into if this is your first optimization manual, but its terse and a relatively short read. If any "beginners" wish to tackle this text, I suggest Agner Fog's tutorials as starter material. https://www.agner.org/optimize/microarchitecture.pdf
Zulip has been powered by Django since the very early days of its development with Django 1.4, back in 2012. As a reasonably mature web application with significant scale, we're at the stage in many companies' development where one starts to rip out more and more of the web framework to optimize things or just make them work the way we want. (E.g. while I was at Dropbox in early 2016, we discovered we only had about 600 lines of code left from the original Pylons framework that actually ran).

One of the things that has been really fantastic about Django is that we're still happily using it for the vast majority of code in the project, and every time Django comes out with a new release, I read the changelog and get excited about several improvements that actually make my life better.

Overall I think we've gotten a ton of value out of Python and Django and would recommend it to anyone starting a new full-featured web application project today.

My only frustration with this release announcement is dropping Python 3.5 support now. Because Python 3.5 is not EOL and used in LTS OS releases that have vendor support through 2021, this forces us to choose between our policy of supporting vendor OS releases until they reach EOL, not upgrading to Django 3 for the next year or more, or shipping our own Python on Ubuntu Xenial.

> but I don't expect greater than inflation appreciation on the house.

Even expecting the house to hold its value is rather strange. You would naturally expect the value of a home to decrease by some amount each year. Most of us would prefer a modern home to an older home. The only reason it does not is because supply of new homes is restricted.

In well functioning markets like Tokyo, that's exactly what we see: homes tend to lose value each year until around 25-30 years most are simply torn down and re-built.

So in Tokyo, not only is the average rent sharply lower than a city like San Francisco, the housing is also more modern. The average age of a home in Tokyo is 20 years. More than half of Tokyo's housing stock has been built since the year 2000.

In San Francisco, more than half of the housing stock was built before 1940.
> This is one of the reasons actual breakthroughs (such as deep learning) are incredibly rare in the modern day, compared to, say, the way stuff worked in the 50s.

I'd argue that the more we learn the harder it is to find major breakthroughs. Looking at Math and Physics as a model, I think this is clear, that major breakthroughs become more sparse as time passes. Luckily we have more eyes looking at things now, which helps a lot.
I think you have a false choice in there somewhere. Yes we want housing to grow more than 2%. No we don’t need housing to grow by 500%.
Incredibly niche is an exaggeration. People will spend the dough to watch what they want to watch. The vast majority of movies aren’t on Netflix!
FWIW there are developers who build and hold long term, but it depends on their strategy and hoe their capital structure is set up.

And with China, I don’t think it is at all accurate to say that the millions of miles of new roads, bridges, infrastructure, ghost cities etc. were built because private market actors woke up one day and decided to make massive infra investments. It was central planning. And a lot of the science, electric vehicles etc. is sponsored by govt too, that is why China is the world leader.
Good point and thanks for the link! However, doesn't it imply that text rendering is a bottleneck anywhere - games, digital signage, etc.?

No doubt there's good reasons for the slow browser performance (like text as you mentioned, layout, event management, etc.) ... but it's still kinda crazy that with the power of computers today, tearing down and building up a tree that results in calculations for no more than a few thousand sprites or so is a performance killer.

Would be nice if I could just re-render the entire DOM every tick. I've been playing with doing exactly that via lit-html and it seems to be working fine... but still, the idea is "the dom is sensitive - don't change what you don't need to" :\

I'm using some of the research done by Drexel's Plasma Lab [0] as inspiration for the reactor design. There are lots of plasma reactors out there, in research as well as commercially available, but most of them are focused on breaking down gaseous or liquid matter. The research I've seen at Drexel was the first I've come across that focused on solid fuels. I have a friend who was an atomization engineer for a rocket fuel company who has some pretty good ideas for handling solid fuels that we're going to experiment with. But at least we know it is already possible.

As far as the desulfurization and SOFC is concerned, we're not even close to that stage yet. Desulfurizers are pretty common, but most SOFC designs tend to be extremely large and heavy, more suitable for stationary generation. I'd like to work with NASA's Bi-Electrode Supported Cell concept, which has power densities suitable for transport applications [1], even better than most diesel engines. They are actively licensing the technology non-exclusively, so maybe we could get a license and produce it ourselves, but this is all bootstrapped so that is probably out of reach in the short term.

Any reference on this as it doesn't make sense intuitively. How does increasing supply increase price? I could see how this could have hyper local effects in UHCOL locations, where you attract foreign investment by virtue of showing a trend of increasing rent prices. This also probably happens only in locations where demand has far exceeded supply for a long time.
When I used it, WPF only had two way binding. The recommended way to use React/Vue is with one way unidirectional binding (Redux/Vuex). It's a huge difference, and simplifies things a lot.

Maybe WPF can do this today, I don't know, haven't touched it in 10 years.

Another aspect, while WPF might check the feature list of React/Vue, using it in practice is kind of clunky.

This is simply pure NIMBI issue which also hits nuclear power.

“That's only true to the degree that the energy cost of building an energy system is directly proportional to the dollar cost, which is often very not true.”

This is an economic argument if X$ buys you K energy from the cheapest energy source it buys some number less than K from more expensive energy sources. Thus the least expensive energy source must have positive EROI. As solar is capital intensive interest payments representing zero energy are a significant cost, which pushes up the minimum possible EROI.

This was my thought as well. It has to be some sort of UK law? But I can't find it. The laws apply to surreptitiously installing the software on someone else's phone or computer. But then owning (and/or buying) the software shouldn't be illegal and the site shouldn't have been able to come down.

Hacking tools aren't illegal by default, that I know of anyway.

He who pays the piper calls the tunes.

I'm a huge advocate of higher education, but it seems like a bad idea to fund it in a major way with the tuition of foreign students. Far better to provide those students education without a premium, or perhaps even at a slight discount.
Correct. The amount of money the city had to throw at these problems shows how the American way of spending their way to solutions isn’t enough. There’s zero attempt at being thoughtful and recognize what’s working (and why) — instead everything is a ballot initiative that’s voted on emotionally.

It’s a total lack of leadership and quality of governance, which to me stems largely from years of capitalism mixed with reductions in government which has created a super powerful and motivated global private sector, and no civic pride and reasonable reward for those capable individuals to work for the public.

We need to find a way to get our superstars in power, and not necessarily at the top only. We need a capable, civic-minded, and results-focused class of doer powering government. When the wage gap is 3-10x between private and public, and no culture of pride and civic engagement, this is what happens.

That's unlikely to happen. Most shootings are excused by claiming the officers life was in danger based on the information he had.

It's going to be hard for them go before a judge and say that they needed to shoot to protect the robot. The advantage of robots is that they are just a line item on a budget.

>And we havent even touched on the elephant in the Room - Swift may soon hook into OSX Metal

Not sure whether I understood your statement correctly, but you can use Swift for using metal API already. Swift is not the bottleneck for TensorFlow, PyTorch like open-source machine learning library appearing for macOS based on metal, it is the closed nature of mac ecosystem itself.

Look at the flak Google, Facebook get regarding these projects in-spite of them being open-source. If an equivalent metal (only) based open-source machine learning of this scale did pop up with Apple's help; it may not go well with the ML/DL community as sharing & collaboration is valued high here. Apple has even started to publishing open ML papers to attract talent.

Then again, Apple doesn't get as much scrutiny as Google/Facebook does with the tech community, take a look at any HN thread on GoLang/Swift; the discussion on the former goes to the company rather than the programming language as in the case of latter in-spite of both being open-source.
