how often does it happen that your interns work on the hot path of your trading systems, which is where I assume you care the most about avoid syscalls like malloc?

Great project - more power to you for driving it so far. My 2 cents. I think rust-analyzer offers a great new dev onboarding experience. issues labelled with has-instructions usually have a a link to the relevant snippet of code in the repo

I haven’t done any web development, so my best recommendation is to forward you to search relevant keywords and then ask questions on r/emacs or r/spacemacs

Not to excuse people, who provide no metrics or benchmarks for their "performance optimisations", I want to acknowledge that benchmarking is hard. I hope something like NixOS will enable people to write and publish "reproduci

It's great you emphasise it and I would generalise it even further. Any perf optimisation should be considered after reliably measuring (controlling for hot/cold cache, overall system load among others) its effect, instead of blin

Hey, great to see some interest and thanks for the ideas. I am going to keep the conversation going here instead of a private email thread, in case anyone else shows interest in this. I am also thinking about refining the design and asking

I am keen to crowdsource a study of emacs workflow practices, where we can collect, compare and analyse different development practices among emacs users. This should help other emacs users to borrow modes/keybindings/specific tec

thanks for your reply - i noticed you reworked the job spec as well. Would be cool to hear about your Rust project, however, I realise you might have an NDA on this. Sounds like a great role

The spec for data analytics doesn't list Rust. Instead it requires "excellent C++ ability". Are you actually using Rust? It might be a bug on my side, but FYI. The last bullet point in the "Desired" section of the j

Also, need to take into account how Western-centric the study of linguistics and multilingualism is. There are many countries in Africa and Southeast Asia, where people are multilingual in everyday settings. This multilingualism might not i
