Great description of the quants/strats role.
Rust ensures memory safety via a bunch of evangelists who strive to make sure you never forget about Rust for even a minute.
Let's talk about why cryptocurrency is the single factor that created the ransomware plague that is ravaging our healthcare system and public infrastructure. (1/) 🧵
Thank you to @CNBCTechCheck for having me on! I realize that "cryptocurrency is a gambling token and pyramid scheme" is a simplistic argument, but... pyramid schemes are not that complicated, and I think it's useful to say it on TV for all those intimidated by blockchain woo
Yesterday I gave a talk on TLA+. Afterwards, someone asked "if I wanted to learn formal methods, what math should I learn?" My answer: predicate logic, end of. Not only is it critical for formal methods, it's incredibly useful in day-to-day programming!
My feelings on technical interviews in general can be found here: honeycomb.io/blog/observati… Whether you should apply an ( identical | slightly modified | dramatically different ) version of the technical portion to engineering *managers* ... will be the topic of my next blog post.

So a thread I've been "meaning to write" for the past few years but somehow always found an excuse to avoid. No more! My entire career (and life, really) have been shaped by ADHD. The key was finally emphasizing for things I'm good at, while avoiding the things that I'm bad at.
So there's a lot of confusion about what Parler being kicked off of Amazon Web Services (@awscloud) means. Let me do a quick thread to explain it to folks who aren't deep in the technical weeds...
Exclusive: JetBrains, an obscure software company founded in Russia, based in the Czech Republic, is being investigated as playing a role in the Russian hack. Among its customers are SolarWinds, Google, Siemens, HP, VMWare with @SangerNYT @julianbarnes nytimes.com/2021/01/06/us/…
So this deserves a proper takedown. Allow me. 1) Autistic spectrum disorder is range of neurodevelopmental patterns and cognitive abilities. Some higher functioning people may be scientists, and sometimes these thinking patterns can be helpful.
like you don't need a load of experimental functional reactive stuff to make a taxi app. you just don't. you let people do this because a core way that "technology companies" burn money is by letting programmers entertain themselves in order to appear smart
“A new study from NCSU and Microsoft finds that the technical interviews currently used in hiring for many software engineering positions test whether a job candidate has performance anxiety rather than whether the candidate is competent at coding.” news.ncsu.edu/2020/07/tech-j…
Here is why IQ is bullshit. A thread.
I would appreciate if computer scientists could use this quarantine period to design several new programming languages with different and incompatible feature sets, and that differ from popular languages in minor semantic ways that are totally pointless but aggravating too.
Waiting for the storm to hit is painful. Knowing what is coming feels unreal. Watching the general public hoard food, ignore advice and continue to spread this virus, knowing that in just weeks we will be seeing mass fatalities, its infuriating, depressing and, frankly, enraging.
1/25 Part 1 - Why does soap work so well on the SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus and indeed most viruses? Because it is a self-assembled nanoparticle in which the weakest link is the lipid (fatty) bilayer. A two part thread about soap, viruses and supramolecular chemistry #COVID19

We are blunt and often honest. We ask why, not to challenge but because we want to know. We pick apart the details because they matter to us not to criticize you, but because there is something greater than us. Truth, logic, fairness, and justice matter more than being polite.

If I make a change I want feedback on it immediately. Over the years, I have become addicted to this feedback. If I can't get it, I change my design, my tools, my programming language, whatever, to re-establish that great feedback. 6/18

ADHD “hacks” a thread. I wasn’t diagnosed ADHD until I was 40 so by the time I was diagnosed my autistic brain has already put in place lots of “props” to support my ADHD and stop me sinking over the 40 years. I didn’t know that’s what I’d done but I had! Here follows a few
It's good that the ChatGPT noise has calmed down. The public realizes it's an overly-confident stochastic bullshit artist now, which is interesting and possibly limitedly useful, but not that useful for anything that really matters.
@W_Asherah I feel like one of my biggest disconnects with allistic people is how I'm *always* talking about problems from a systems perspective, and they are always convinced I'm criticizing individuals no matter how much I try to clarify.
