Not really. FPGAs run some simple proven strategies, but hardware guys can't keep up with how fast quants iterate on new strategies - so CPUs stay relevant.
I started working on this feature about a month ago: https://github.com/snizovtsev/tmux (it's in early experiments, not ready for a try).
Luckily tmux has a well-established "control mode" protocol designed for iTerm2 that can serialize internal state updates into a stream of text messages. So I do write client-side of this feature right inside tmux.
When it's ready, you will able to embed remote sessions inside local tmux instance by calling something like "ssh example.com tmux -CC attach". It will auto-detect "control mode" escape sequence and create special "remote session" you can switch into.
If you are interested, connect with me ([email protected]) so I will notify when feature is ready and ask for early testing before making upstream proposal.
Yes, but it was expected. It's like prioritising code readability over performance everywhere but the hot path.
Earlier in my career, I managed to use Zopfli once to compress gigabytes of PNG assets into a fast in-memory database supporting a 50K+ RPS web page. We wanted to keep it simple and avoid the complexity of horizontal scaling, and it was OK to drop some rarely used images. So the more images we could pack into a single server, the more coverage we had. In that sense Zopfli was beneficial.
Living in Russia could be very cheap compared to other countries. If you own a flat and you don't need cars or travel, then it's possible to live a few years just on money saved from your previous software job.
I had to quit in September due to burn out. Given how many better engineers now on market I feel there are no space for me anymore. Now burning my saving money on rent and food and going to commit suicide few months later.
I think foreign remote employees are much more risky in terms of IT security and law protection. Companies need to take this risk into their business model or develop countermeasures beforehand.
