I recently built out training and inference at a FinTech (for fraud and risk) using Elixir and tried this very approach… We’re now using Python for training and forking Ortex (ONNX…

H12SSL-i or H12SSL-NT ROMED8U-2T

Amazing. Do you know if Telkom offered ISDN around ‘95 thru to ‘01? My parents had “two lines” back then so we could always have access to the Internet, even while talking on the p…

You can LISTEN/NOTIFY. Or you can use logical replication and a custom subscriber.[1] Supabase uses the latter.[2] [1]: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/logical-replication.…

There’s some articles floating around that touch on the idea. Bitsquid comes to mind. [1] To give a slightly more detailed description, you allocate two arrays of the extents. One …

At a quick glance, this is very close. However, the proposal goes through several contortions to maintain pointer stability. If you preallocate sufficient storage for your worst ca…

A similar data-structure that is also very useful uses sparse-dense arrays but encodes a free-list in the unused memory. It's an ideal data structure if your access patterns are sp…

This echos my experiences, especially with the move to “live services” model for games. Often the teams working on the services for multiplayer games are very small so it’s all abo…

Really cool! I've been meaning to implement SGP4 from scratch as a learning exercise. What I found really interesting is how the USAF/NORAD tracks and reports objects in LEO: they …

Brute force search is how Scaylr does it. Here’s an article they wrote about their implementation. https://www.scalyr.com/blog/searching-1tb-sec-systems-engine...

Windows bundles software decoders (for H.264 and H.265) that are available through MFT and DXVA.[1][2] Chromium leverages both already.[3] It's also a low effort way to support har…

Worth noting that you pass in data in a proprietary binary format. [1] I've done it, not out of performance concerns, but because transcoding between proprietary binary formats wit…

The key differentiator is x86 vs PPC and 1 TB/s bus.

Location: Vancouver, Canada Remote: Yes (done it before), or On-Site Willing to relocate: No Technologies: C/C++, Python/Ruby, Erlang/Elixir, Java, and HTML/CSS/JavaScript MySQL/Po…

Hi! I really enjoy working on things that operate at scale (in users or data) or provide a lot of leverage for my teammates. I'm open to a lot of roles. Most recently I was the sol…

Latency kills: memory latency, network latency, and storage latency. In that order.

In essence, an interrupt storm[1] caused by a design flaw that resulted in the rendezvous radar reporting erroneous readings at a high frequency.[2] The computer couldn't handle al…

I love lifting for exactly this reason. It's meditative.

I disagree. Near realtime (say sub 1-minute) feeds can be leveraged to extract a lot of value out of the data you're collecting. Perhaps maybe not for your typical SaaS startup, bu…

Logistics is your force multiplier. Sacrificing the (excessive) performance of 7.62 to improve the rounds you can field is well worth it. That said, 5.56 still holds up well in CQB…

It takes ~20 LOC to setup scaleable asynchronous I/O w/ IOCP. It's been like that since 1996. So that's the benchmark as far as I'm concerned.

It's a pretty useful attack vector since you can get an arbitrary program to load your payload under certain circumstances, so you don't even need malicious code running if you can…

I learned something a few days ago that made me both laugh and cry: LoadLibraryA will happily load a DLL from WebDAV through a UNC path. Something like \\example.com@80\path\to\pay…

As someone in the midst of building a game in C for 7 platforms, with WebAssembly being one of them, my main disappointment is with the lack of coroutines (or lack of control over …
