While Rust does not have a discrete runtime GC process, it does utilize reference counting for dynamic memory cleanup.

So you could argue that they are still going to suffer some of the downsides of a GC'ed memory allocation. Some potential issues include non-deterministic object lifespan, and ensuring that any unsafe code they write which interacts with the cache does the "right thing" with the reference counts (potentially including de-allocation; I'm not sure what unsafe code needs to do when referencing reference counted boxes).
Wouldn’t you say something that has an equation that works but no theory of why is mysterious?

It would be interesting to see what a more modern Go would do given there have been a bunch of tail latency GC improvements since your older 1.9 Go version... and in an ideal world, it would be nice to file an issue on the tracker if you were still seeing this.

(Maybe that ends up later helping another one of your Go services, or maybe it just helps the community, or maybe it’s a topic for another interesting blog...).

That's understandable, but it isn't what most people want---developers or users alike.

Browsers aren't just thin-clients to support HTTP protocol and HTML rendering. They've grown to adopt a new distributed computing paradigm, not unlike UNIX and its descendants grew to support a new multi-user-cum-multi-process paradigm. The things web development offers---location agnosticism, platform agnosticism, combined multimedia interaction, a workable security model for multi-source aggregate-component content---are eating software development, and the browser is becoming the OS of the modern era. We know users want this because users were willing to use Flash (even though Flash broke out of the security model of the old browser).

There'll always be a place for small text-based pages much as modern computing will always have a place for command-line tools, but the genie is out of the bottle and it won't be put back in.

I drank a lot of the Reddit/HN koolaid that you can't get big/ripped on bodyweight fitness until I moved into a new place with an amazing back patio will full sunlight all day where I felt bad exercising anywhere else. Much less under the fluorescent lighting of my local gym.

For a year I've been exercising in my backyard with a podcast in my ears, maybe during a group phonecall for work, while thinking between programming sessions, etc.

Now I realize that 100% of these people are full of shit. I got jacked. Whenever I've mentioned this to someone, they'll say something like, yeah but you can't get as big as $bodyBuilder, like Ronnie Coleman.

The truth is I think very few people have actually tried a serious daily bodyweight regimen. Most people don't have a reason to try, they just go to the gym if they want a daily workout. And then we, including myself, have the human tendency to regurgitate ideas we've heard from others rather than from personal experience.

well, "cortical representations" is just a fancy way of describing modern day phrenology. I.e. you stick a programmer in the fMRI scanner, the signal gives more blobbiness in the brain cortex (i.e. the outer layer of noodles) in a certain pattern vs. an aged match nonprogrammer control.

If you actually get inside the skull and attach electrodes, you then can maybe measure the oscillatory dynamics and properties of say a bunch of neurons in a specific part of the cortex and claim there's tuning because some paramater - phase coupling, firing frequency, etc etc etc appears different than a group of aged matched controls. But I'm sure no programmer voluntarily agreed to non-medically necessary brain surgery...

What sucks about people not being able to cook for themselves is that they stop cooking interesting things and thus the supermarket produce section keeps shrinking.

You specifically said in the past four years salary and comp has spiked as a result of the stock market and unemployment.

In this case, as they were running into the automatic GC interval, their program did not create much, if any garbage. So the CPU overhead for the GC would have been quite small.

If you do a lot of allocations, the GC overhead rises of course, but also would the effort of doing allocations/deallocations with a manual managing scheme. In the end it is a bit trade-off, what fits the problem at hand best. The nice thing about Rust is, that "manual" memory management doesn't come at the price of program correctness.

Yes.

Transparency and automation may yet help rid us of rent-seeking behaviour.

I feel like this should be solvable on the software side, especially for medium or long distance runs. If I look at the traces, I can see that the recorded zig-zag is obviously wrong, and a bit of smoothing should be able to fix it.

Rust does best when the number of lines of code that must be parsed in an edit-compile-test loop is small. When the sources that must be parsed get large, coders suffer.

It is doubtful that this will improve, much, without breaking changes to the language. The range of code over which type inference operates, or at least programmers' reliance on it, would need to contract by quite a lot. There would be Complaints.
Woot! Go you! (Or Rust you! Whichever you prefer!)

This is key. If you subscribe to the "how it could be used" version, then even say possessing an android phone would be a violation of the privacy policy. Which is absurd.

D language and functional programmers. Julia for research

Symmetry Investments is a post startup c. 5bn alternative asset management company with around 175 people as local employees and remote consultants.

We are three years into a period of transformation from initially a fairly standard enterprise finance approach to technology to something new that recognises the importance of both humane and the technical for discretionary portfolio management and for the business of running a hedge fund.

It's not easy to integrate practitioners who may spend most of their day programming but are oriented towards solving their business problems with developers who are specialists in programming. To achieve that we wrote a little functional DSL that's now in production. Type inference of returns and parameters using inequality constraints is in a feature branch and there is plenty more to do on the language itself as well as the ecosystem around it. What might be a project in itself elsewhere can be just a set of SIL functions here.

It's quite a creative place where we encourage a degree of courage amidst practical constraints, and we are open to doing things a different way if it's commercially sound and in the interests of our investors.

The language is written in D, we hosted dconf last year and will do so again this year. So we are looking for outstanding native code developers who would like to write D as well as people to work with practitioners writing SIL. Also looking to write documentation and work on build.

We look for virtues and capabilities over only experience and credentials although those things aren't a disadvantage.

Compensation is currently not quite at Netflix standards but is generous to very generous over time by broad technology industry standards. We recognise and reward technical accomplishment and have a very flat structure.

I'm one of the three people running the firm, responsible amongst other things for technology across the firm and posting this myself, so that should give you an idea both about how seriously we take technology and about the culture of the firm.

Does Go support functional programming? There's no support for map, filter, etc. It barely supports OOP too, with no real inheritance or generics.

I've been happy working with it for a year now, though I've had the chance to work with Kotlin and I have to say, it's very nice too, even if the parallelism isn't quite easy/ convenient to use.

Not sure how tech and progressive politics interact; handling of data is another issue but that's not the tech side IMO.
The law is written with the clarity of a block of stone.

"Reasonable accommodations" means different things to different people. The only solution is for the law to define what is reasonable but that wouldn't have worked politically--set the bar high and people would see it's crazy, set the bar low and the disability advocates would have demanded more. Thus we got a compromise that's basically the worst of both worlds.
That's not what he meant. It's not the casing of the names, it's the switching on specific types, rather than building interfaces and using generic programming.

Flying Seriously Messes with Your Mind
I admittedly dont know the specifics of this process, but to break it down very abstractly, there seems to be a challenge and a misconception.

The challenge is: is the person submitting the results who they say they are, and are they authorized to submit results for said precinct, did their data submission transform on transit. The misconception seems to be that any of the data is private.

Issuing 1700 instagram accounts and having each precinct post and tag a photograph would have been both more secure, and instantly verifiable. Anybody could go back later and go "yep thats the photo I posted." "Yep that is the account that we expected the photo to come from." "Yep, the account wasn't improperly accessed."

Everyone in the public can see the live results real time, and hand verify the summarization. A worst case scenario would be someone doctoring one of the Math Sheets, printing out a near perfect duplicate, and creating confusion over which document is the "real" one. Breaking into a physically secure area with a fake piece of paper may cause a situation with an unverifiable truth. Having a public, timestamped photograph minimizes counterfeiting and forgery.

Providing a csv/xlsx file, and having a whitelisted list of senders would have worked, along with a bot ingesting the files as they came. A onedrive with 1700 shared spreadsheets would have worked, each precinct manager would have just needed a copy of mobile excel. The technology that generates my fantasy football cheat sheets seems more advanced.

The goal here should be to get a definitive answer posted into the public record, timestamped and proven to be the appropriate sender.

The "pin" nonsense is the scary part of all this. Did anybody who shouldnt have download the app, and submit the wrong results?

>he had to sign in with an email and password, provide a two-factor authentication, and enter a one-time password generated by the Google Authenticator app.

What is the point of 2fa/authenticator, if the person is registering for the first time the night of the primary? Wouldnt 2fa be for preventing access to the account youve already made, not to prevent someone from creating your account? Unless somehow the phone numbers were already on file, and a sanity check took place before the 2fa step, which I doubt. Is 2fa anything more than security theater in this application?

I guess it works as a very high level explanation. However, as a practical guide to designing an actual working airplane wing, it's probably too high level to be helpful. For instance, if Newton was a complete explanation, then a flat wing at a 45 degree angle should work well. A more complete explanation would also explain why airplane wings typically have the shape they do.
That's pretty immaterial. I was just pointing towards the fact that the simplistic nature of the application in the first place only serves to further highlight the incompetence required for such a catastrophic failure.
