We've been using PyO3 and Maturin at Spring for a while now, and happily. The smooth Python interop means we can call out to Rust without much pain for performance-critical codepaths. But the other side-effect is that we can use Rust a

Thanks for the thoughtful feedback--I think these are very fair comments. When we first designed Jasper, it was just for us to hack around with, so regex matching, the priority system, the single-instance configuration, etc.--these all made

It's not necessarily 'irrational'. A 51% miner could profit from Bitcoin's downfall, or by threatening others, or even by bluffing an attack. See, e.g., the Goldfinger Attack in https://www.cs.princeton.edu&#x

I took the course this semester (and loved it--hope the materials can be helpful to all). We had one assignment that focused on achieving consensus in the face of adversarial nodes, similar to the systems used in Stellar and Ripple, so thos

Can't speak highly enough of the Khan Academy internship experience--I interned with Kasra last summer and it was a pretty incredible few months. From the team to the mission to the culture to the work itself, it's A+ all around.

True, but there's a decent case to be made that (1) transaction fees will have to increase (in general) as the block reward decreases, and (2) transaction fees will have to increase (for these centralized services) if they want to eat

I'm a little confused--the article mentions that letters of recommendation must be turned over, but I believe that's only the case if the writer explicitly waived confidentiality (see http://www.naceweb.org/public&

What I worry about is the effect that market price can have on the security of the network (via global hash rate). The system will reach equilibrium when the revenue generated by mining is equal to the amount spent on mining. When the value

This is awesome. I've played around with React's server-side rendering [1] and was really impressed once I'd hooked it all up. To see React hook up the event handlers and render nothing at all was really satisfying. I haven&#

I can testify that there are plenty of remote folk at Khan Academy--can think of six full-time remote devs off the top of my head (in a sub-40 person dev team). It's a very remote-friendly culture.

Great suggestions. I've been meaning to take a deeper dive into Wit.ai for a while now. It seems like their intents-entities architecture would actually fit in pretty cleanly with Jasper. As an aside: I don't think it'd be di

Agreed. Even with small tasks, I've found Atom to be noticeably slower. Just as an anecdotal data point, it takes roughly a second to open a file or folder in Atom (i.e., after opening the app, the time b/w dragging any file or fo

The divisive effect that Upworth (and BuzzFeed) have had on Facebook users has been interesting to observe. Personally, the influx of links from these relatively content-less sites has really decreased the usefulness of my news feed--in fac

Seconded--canvas support would be great. I too had to mix D3 with some canvas drawing. The specific use case was that I had a number of diagrams, most of which were handled by D3, but one of which required pixel-by-pixel rendering (i.e., ea

Highly recommend D3. I've used it for a large-scale project this summer, handling thousands (millions, even) of data points in the browser. Mike Bostock has created an immense body of examples and is constantly found answering question

Latex, with the TikZ package: http://www.texample.net/tikz/ Steep learning curve, but there are plenty of examples around the Internet, and it's certainly worth the investment.
