Any tips on how to do this, as a new parent I am currently struggling to go from my mindset of needing to get "in the zone" and its been a very hard transition.

Licensing choices dont exist in a vacuum, they are made with a business climate in mind. I think many projects picked liberal licenses in a climate where the assumption was that you could make your money selling integration / consultin

Dont think this is as cut and dry as you make it out to be. The emergence of cloud providers + hosted solutions and the ongoing disappearance of on premise computing means its increasingly hard to figure out a business model for infrastruct

One thing to keep in mind if you use one laptop/phone, if there is ever a case / investigation against your employer your personal device might be called in.

A long time ago netflix would allow you to go into a genre and sort movies by star rating. Finding something good to watch was very straight forward back then.

I think the problem size is too small. Dialling up the max requests and setting thread count to 64 yields the per thread in multi thread to 1104. (I am guessing the the scheduler will take a while to bring all 64 threads up, so on small pro

Just realised that Passmark does not have a Linux benchmark program, so wont be able to run it.

Will give that a try tonight. Have to warn you that right now 1 of my DIMM was bad, so the system is running with only 15 DIMMS (which is an unsupported config) so the results might be suboptimal until I receive a new DIMM from the seller.

Just built a 64 core workstation based on AMD Epyc cpus, seeing how fast my simulation workloads run on it brings a smile to my face.

Indians require transit visas when traveling through Canada. (I almost learnt this the hard way when flying through Canada, as a complete coincidence I had a canadian visa from a prior trip that was close to expiring)

On corporate machines you dont know how many things are subscribing to file notifications.

MSVC would be really great if MSFT could solve their small file io overhead and enabled a mode where I could disable file modification notifications completely. Right now doing any compilation makes the anti viruses go completely crazy.

That has reversed in the last few releases of clang for my codebase.

Cant you just have a system clojure process started up and then fork from there?

Could you point out any open source supercomputing / data products that get this right (ie have decentralized data flows?).

Reserve an appropriate amount of profits to make things right for the transactions that do not go as expected. How much to reserve needs to be determined on an ongoing basis based on the split of good / bad transactions. I think AirBnb

It does feel weird paying more for RAM than you do for your CPU.

I hope Intel strongly executes and puts the current doubts of people firmly behind them. Think the next pick of CEO is going to be crucial - they need someone focussed on execution and someone who stays the course with respect to the long a

Nice diagrams - any pointers on what tool was used to make these?

I think Rust is a great first language to pick up. Pick a domain you are passionate about and start writing code for problems in the domain in Rust.

So the intended latency of requests in your case is 2-3 seconds?

I think the issue here is that the large scale systems you cite usually have performance being dominated by the relatively high cost of making a network hop. They dominate runtime to such an extent that unless you are writing code with whic

I have done my fair share of rewrites as well. The hardest ones are where you need the new system to be backwards compatible.

Ask to speak to members of the team you will be joining. Ask them what the day to day looks like and what success metrics look like. Pay close attention to any inconsistencies that come up in different conversations.

Around 2007 I used to make fun of a colleague who was an Apple fan for investing his entire savings in Apple stock. As the years have gone by I have felt on many occasions that the joke is on me.
