If there’s something that I held as a deep belief growing up is that there is not such a thing as a free lunch. I also developed an instinct to spot trends. Mostly to find opportunities, but also for fun. So when I stumbled upon Andrew Yang . I listened to a couple of his interviews and realised his ideas are powerful and bipartisan. The way he talks makes him likable both on the left and on the right.

In recent years, JavaScript engines have improved on all fronts. The performance of JavaScript has reached a level where it can easily compete with programming languages that have traditionally been considered more appropriate for high-performance computing. This is not only true for V8, the JavaScript engine inside of Chrome and Node.js, but for all major JavaScript engines, including ChakraCore, the engine inside of Edge, JavaScriptCore, ....

As I announced last year, I’m running a new online Practical Linux Performance and Application Troubleshooting training class, starting on 29. April 2019 . The emphasis of this class is on practical application troubleshooting and Linux OS performance tuning techniques. We’ll be using scripts and tools that you can use on any Linux machine whenever a problem happens, without having to first install a complex layer of monitoring tools. ..

Following my recent blog post on setting up a dev environment in Kubernetes, here are some tips to use Traefik as a gRPC load balancer. Traefik can be used on the edge and route incoming HTTP traffic to your Kubernetes cluster, but it’s also supporting gRPC. gRPC Load Balancing with Traefik Here I have a gRPC service I want to expose on the edge. apiVersion: v1 kind: Service metadata: name: myapp labels: name: "myapp" type: "grpc" spec: por..

Tonight I gave a presentation at the Kitchener-Waterloo Linux User’s Group (KWLUG) about Pop!_OS, and this blog post is essentially a summary of that talk. The Linux development community has never really spent a lot of time making Linux for the desktop - the focus has been on servers and customizability (e.g. embedded systems, mobile, IoT, etc.). There are plenty of desktop-focused Linux distributions such as Linux Mint and ElementaryOS th..

How big can a unit test be? How small can an integration test be? It’s easy to argue about whether a test is a ‘true’ unit test or not. If we test several classes together, is it still a unit test? If we use a small external API, must we call it an integration test? The problem is that testing is a spectrum , but our terminology only allows discrete levels. Putting A Number On It I propose we treat testing as a numerical scale inst....

Often times when I’m traveling on the east coast, whether it is NYC area or back home down south I try to spend some time to catch up with various people. In catching up we’ll spend some time talking about what we’re both up to, thoughts on tech or in general, and at the end I typically ask “Is there anything in particular I can help with?” More often than not the answer to this question isn’t super substantial, which is fine. But what is s....

I stated in my first post on my reflections of leadership in other industries that I would write a follow up post after having hung out in the world of finance for a day. This is pretty easy to do when you live in NYC. Originally for college, I was a finance major at NYU Stern School of Business before transferring out, so I have always had a bit of affinity for it. I consider myself pretty good at reading people. This, of course, was n....

Technically, this is a blogpost about Oauth2 and not OpenID Connect) Are you using Slack as a central communication tool? Did you know that you can also use it as your identity provider for other apps you make or buy? For informal organizations like user groups and volunteer based conferences, Slack is perhaps already your communication hub. This means that the information you have about your users here is as good as you have anywhere.

Time can be measured in all sorts of ways, some more accurate than others, but the perception of its flow varies widely depending on the subjective experience. That's the distinction between physical and psychological time. Psychological time is influenced and influences our cognitive systems. It influences how we act and respond to information and events around us, and the information and events around us influence it.

Testing emails The way I used to do it is to have all emails sent to me via a configuration setting in either Symfony or Laravel. This works fine but there can be a significant delay between the moment when the email is sent and the moment it is received, which is annoying. I have heard about mailtrap, which is a hosted service that does more or less what Mailocal does. But I’m not a fan of sending my customers’ info to a third party. M....

Friday, I have plans to shadow a friend who is an investment banker at a private equity firm and will do a follow up po....

Jane Street is sponsoring this year’s MakeMIT hackathon , and we wanted to create a prize for the winners that would do justice to the maker spirit of the competition. As makers ourselves – it’s not unusual to find a “software” engineer here who hacks on FPGAs or who has a CNC machine at home – it felt natural to get our hands dirty.

At Jane Street, over the last few years, we’ve been increasingly exploring machine learning to improve our models. Many of us are fascinated by the rapid improvement we see in a wide variety of applications due to developments in deep learning and reinforcement learning, both for its exciting potential for our own problems, and also on a personal level of pure interest and curiosity outside of work.

The snapcraft CLI has supported building ROS1 snaps for a while via the catkin plugin. We supported the ROS2 betas via the ament plugin, but that was before Open Robotics had a ROS 2 package repository setup, which meant that the ament plugin built the ROS 2 underlay from source, and it was predictably dreadfully slow. However, the stable releases of ROS2 introduced a new build system called colcon, and also had their own package repositori..
