Hiring: IT/developer software investing role
Hi, I run the IT software equity research practice at Raymond James (sell-side investment bank) and we are hiring.

We are interesting in hiring a candidate that has a technical/developer background but is interested in making the switch to the investment world and analyzing software stocks - no background in finance needed (the job will require financial modeling but we can teach you that). The work location is highly flexible (we have offices in SF, NYC, Tampa; can also work remote).

Day to day will involve analyzing new software tech, products, vendors to get a better understanding of competitive dynamics and growth prospects for companies we are involved with. The job will involve a heavy amount of writing.

Currently our public coverage list includes AKAM, AYX, CTXS, DDOG, DT, FSLY, LLNW, MSFT, NEWR, NLOK, NOW, SPLK, ORCL, TEAM, VMW. Other names we don't currently cover but are of interest include NET, ESTC, SUMO, SNOW, DOCN.

We are also highly involved in researching private unicorns and potential future IPOs.

If interested, please send me a few lines on your background & your resume to robert.majek @ raymondjames.com

> Since then I've thought of locks more like deterrent than bulletproof security.

To be fair most american houses are built such that a reasonably burly person could punch through the wall. I’ve seen friends leave big holes in the wall just from falling down some stairs. Glass windows also are easy to get through.

The problem with lock-picking is that it doesn’t leave signs of a break-in.
Also no offense to the author, I feel the same way about my OS of choice!
Putting something simple on a server and iterating on that is what I've been doing on my blog for over 10 years. When it's been up for weeks/months/years, you have a good idea of what works and what doesn't.
ffmpeg -i <sth.mp4> <sth.mp3> ## converting videos to mp3
The most important general takeaway I have is that you can't rely purely on passive security.

No matter how elaborate your designs, someone will always find a way in given enough incentive. And given enough time, a tricky, narrow exploit gets widened into a highway.

Security is a red queen. You have to run fast just to stay in the same place.
While this article starts to discuss the low level details that underlie our code, I feel like its incomplete.

* Latency hiding -- CPUs work extremely hard on latency hiding. A lot of those OOP-indirect calls will be branch predicted by the CPU in the simple cases (ex: if one object-type is more common than others, then those indirect branches will be branch predicted correctly in most situations).

There are other bits of latency hiding: Hyperthreads, Out-of-order execution, pipelines.

* Cache: L1, L2, and L3 caches can grossly mitigate a lot of the problems. While CPUs today are far faster than DDR4 RAM, L1 cache scales perfectly with the CPU. If you can keep your code+data under 64kB, you'll always be executing in L1 cache and basically get the full benefits.

If 64kB is too restrictive, then you have 256kB or 512kB (L2 cache), or 8MB (L3 cache), both of which scale with the CPU.

------------

SIMD and Multicore goes backwards IMO. It turns out that the 1970s and 1980s were filled with very intelligent programmers working on extremely sophisticated supercomputers. I enjoy going back to the 1980s and reading Connection Machine articles on C-Star (a parallel language that's arguably the precursor to CUDA), or Star-Lisp.

--------

If you write multicore software, then SMT / Hyperthreads are very effective at latency hiding. Running two threads on one core (or 4-threads or 8-threads, in the case of some IBM processors) allows your cores to "find something else to do" during those long latency periods where your CPU is traversing memory and waiting for RAM to respond.

Working extremely hard to optimize just a single thread seems somewhat counterproductive. Its often easier to write "less optimized" multicore software than highly optimized single-core software.

And SMT / hyperthreads will converge those onto a single core ANYWAY. So might as well take advantage of that feature.
I don’t think they care, unfortunately. Apple sells billions of devices to non-techies. The user base that might run Linux or do development on Apple machines is a small fraction like 0.001% or less. The reasons behind preventing you from installing Linux is likely more a consequence of preventing device theft or software piracy.
Most electronic locks are still garbage. Even if the computer part is somehow perfect (which it wont be), they normally/should contain bog standard manual bypasses
I was surprised to see just how easily this Master Lock key safes are to unlock with a bit of practice. However, when you consider it's not much more effort to pick the door lock anyway I don't suppose it matters much.

Its quite easy.

or in CMD.exe (e.g., via a .bat file) a simple call to setx.

or in Powershell or Windows Powershell, [Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable.

This assumed you want to durably set variables associated with the machine or user; transitory settings can be done via set (CMD.exe) or $env:path (either powershell line).
Not very hopeful for the BlackFly either.. they had an 'official launch' almost three years ago, failed to go into production in 2019 as promised, then got a new CEO who left for Hyundai after barely a year at the helm.
The Software Methodology Anti-Manifesto
This article isn’t evidence - it’s an opinion piece written by a competitor with the goal of influencing policy.

It’s a Google white paper dressed up as a personal blog.

Google is not a trustworthy custodian of the web any more than Apple is - they just have different priorities.
> Quite a few times I was surprised that Rust breaks with some old patterns that were copied over and over in the last 50 years or so. For example: "match" instead of "switch", or the same if/else regardless if it is a statement or a value. These are small touches, but they show attention to detail.

These are good ideas for sure, but they are bread and butter to anyone who is familiar with functional programming. The Lisp and ML families of languages have had them for many decades.

The fact that more languages _aren't_ like this is what's surprising to me, given how effective they are. I love that Rust is bringing them to the masses, but what on earth took the industry so long to accept them?

I guess the answer is that algebraic data types (inductively defined data) tend to be pitted against object-oriented programming (coinductively defined data), and object-oriented programming has dominated the industry for the past 3 decades. Some languages like Kotlin have tried to combine them, but personally I'd rather just embrace the former and relegate the latter to a seldomly-used design pattern, not a programming paradigm hardcoded into the language.
> also, if the company has profits there is some tax on that (well, my little C-corp did)

No large US company has any profits, maybe one of their child companies in Ireland or the Caribic does. They have to beg for billions in government handouts every time they want expand their operations, that is how bad they have it financially.

> Ioaniddis is smeared with allegations about funding

I mean, pretty fairly, to be honest. I <3 Ioaniddis until this pandemic, but I think he's been dead wrong on it, and should go back to giving out about the quality of published papers (where he's been very, very right).
> that speak French to some degree

What do you mean by that?
No, I am not. "zoning out and sleep walking through life" is what Gurdjieff calls "the robot." My experience with trauma was to dissociate. Others I have talked to have the same experience. For example, I did my therapy with veterans, and a drone operator began dissociating after she killed people with a drone in Iraq and was found wandering the streets. We did therapy at the VA. The VA is also looking at MDMA and mushrooms therapy.
Not for data analysis, it's a pointless constraint unless you're having issues.

Most data analysis isn't against datasets larger than memory, and I'd rather have more data than I need to spend time waiting to bring it all local again because I forgot a few columns that turn out to be useful later on.
A useful 5G network is much broader than what VZ currently has set up in the mmWave range (high-band, >6GHz, high-speed, low propagation)

Verizon's next 5G investment is to build out the mid-band portion of its 5G network, in the C-Band (mid-band, 3.7-3.98 GHz, good speed, good propagation)

VZ spent $54B on C-Band spectrum in March, then committed to spend an additional $10B over the next 3 years to deploy towers to use that spectrum, and that's above the $18B they had already planned on mid-band 5G CAPEX

VZ is taking on a lot of debt to build out the mid-band portion of its 5G network, and this sale will help them chip away at that huge mountain of debt
Turkeys monetary issues go back way further than the example you are citing.
I'm of the belief absolute IQ doesn't really matter. If someone's lazy they're going to be lazy, and at least in times past a relatively low IQ person could still make a life for him or herself. It doesn't really matter if you're a super genius if the only job you can find is sweeping up dog droppings. There's some quote which speaks of brilliant minds toiling away in factories.

Then again, the factory worker should be able to own his or her own home. Unskilled labor is still important

Pandas is great when you're working on the data manually because it lets you interleave python code and "queries", but it's strictly worse than a plain SQL statement if you're writing, say, a REST service that needs to output some data.

SQL executed by the database is orders of magnitude more efficient, way more expressive, and doesn't require you to memorize pandas' absurd API.

And I say this as someone who is by no means a SQL wizard, and fully acknowledging all of SQL's blemishes.
How to Think: The Skill You've Never Been Taught
They are using your latter example, here's the page: https://blog.simpleanalytics.com/with-ga-script

It is hurting the score. The GA script is NOT in the <head>.
I created this (free) application to help Data analysts in their workflow. But it can be used by anyone who is interested in Data query (databases, big data), Data exploration, Charts generation, as the tools enables those activities through a no-code interface/ux and python scripts.
I don't think "Well you know, these people are idiots and they'd have killed themselves anyway" is going to win any hearts and minds.

Or persuade a jury, if it ever comes to that.

No system is foolproof. But systems that encourage or tolerate foolish and dangerous behaviour can't be considered well-designed.
This is also flamebait, because although you've dropped the angry rhetoric (good!), you're still putting other people's views down and calling names ("magical beliefs", "mythology and superstition", "ancient holdover"). Please don't post any more of that. This a large forum and statistically the odds are high that some segment of readers will get triggered by it and then rush to fight back, and that's how we end up with wretched flamewars.

Religious flamewar has to do with denunciatory rhetoric against other people's religious views. It doesn't matter whether you subscribe to $religion or $no-religion. It matters not to have angry, repetitive battles. We want thoughtful, curious new conversation here, and it's not possible to have both.
Ahhhh.... relief. The Go docs are vague on day-today tasks like this. Also how were those nifty arrows done?

This would make me extremely uncomfortable as an employee. I expect my state taxes to go to help cover expenses across the state, pay for social programs, emergency expenditures, etc. Knowing that my tax dollars were being kicked back to my employer would make me feel like I wasn’t putting in my fair share. I understand that money is fungible and companies get tax breaks often but the way this is phrased puts a bad taste in my mouth.
Yes workers are exploited, but it's also harder to create value when you insist on capturing it.

This is arguable a big idea of free software: trying to jealously hoard the value for ideas that are naturally freely copied and shared is just plain inefficient.

So yes, in this case it would be nice if these interns got a big pay out, but if they did, then the megacorps wouldn't bother using Rust because they plan is already to just outbid all the non-monopolists for workers rather than actually be productive with their workforce. And C++ and whatever else are already free, so Rust has to complete with those.

The only way to make things more fair is just give up on meritocratic value capture, and just do a big tax and big UBI, so just as free software is free to use by all, some of the value created in the use of free software is also freely shared by all.

Especially when you consider how many locks (esp. high tech locks) are vulnerable to low skill attacks (rapping, shimming, magnets).
Indeed. I've also had to bolt cut my way into a storage unit I forgot the combination to. Bolt cutters could be rented from the local Home Depot and cut my way into my own storage unit with no knowledge from the staff. It was my lock so no damage to the owners.
I guess that's the problem, the only places I've worked have been focused on billing time or closing tickets with everyone heads down on that.
