Tony Hoare has died 4 months ago

I wrote both my master thesis and PhD on Hoare's Communicating Sequential Processes. I really enjoyed it's simplicity, expandability, and was always amazed that it inspired and influenced language constructs in Go, Erlang, occam and the likes.

The DKK5499 is with VAT. If I enter a San Francisco zip code, it still only comes out to about USD654.

Ugh. Why is is so much more expensive in Denmark? Here it's DKK5499 for the 256 GB version. That's USD857.

Since using `def` to create a method returns a symbol with the method name, you can do something like this too:

  memoize def expensive_calculation(arg)
    @calculation_count += 1
    arg * 2
  end, ttl: 10, max_size: 2

  memoize def nil_returning_method
    @calculation_count += 1
    nil
  end

I hold a PhD in computer science. I have more than 10 years of experience with Ruby and Ruby on Rails. I've helped build and scale frontends, backends, and APIs in general. I'm ready for whatever you throw at me - and can easily learn new technologies and languages, if needed.

I did the same for both of our kids. For the first, I created a web app where you could +1 or -1 on all legal names. I even used the Web Speech API to read aloud the names, if you clicked them.

For the second kid, I created an iOS app using React Native (https://i.imgur.com/aaTqXAY_d.webp?maxwidth=760&fidelity=gra...) where you could swipe names Tinder-style.

We didn't use the apps to find _the_ names, but to get a narrowed down list we could pick from. The projects were fun and educational.

PhD in computer science. More than a decade experience with full-stack development using Ruby on Rails. Ex-Elastic, ex-Shopify. Looking for senior/staff engineer positions.

Do note that, specifically in Denmark, you can do a 4+4, where you do a 4 year bachelor/master and a 4 year PhD, instead of the regular 3 year bachelor, 2 year master and then 3 year PhD. Here you'd have to apply for the PhD well before entering the university, or at least whist doing the bachelor studies.

EDIT: Hi everybody. I have already gotten so many emails with job opportunties. I am so grateful for this community! Thanks a million.

Hi HN. I'm Mads.

I did my PhD working on Bohrium (https://github.com/bh107/bohrium). Bohrium is a framework that sits on top NumPy and intercepts all calls. When you have a side-effect in your Python code, Bohrium will take over and JIT-compile an OpenCL kernel, so your NumPy can run on your GPU. This is all done automatically, so all you need to change is `import numpy as np` to `import bohrium as np`. For Bohrium I also created a Ruby frontend, so you can use custom `BhArray` to JIT-compile OpenCL kernels from Ruby code, run when you have a side-effect. Besides that I also created a CSP (Communicating Sequential Processes) gem for Ruby called Emit (https://github.com/omegahm/emit) This outperformed the current Python implementation in speed.

After my PhD I've been working as full stack developer multiple places, where I've mostly been using Ruby for backend and React for frontend. My latest position was a Tech Lead position where I was in charge of a small team of four developers.
