Numbers. I’ve read thousands of resumes over the past few months, screened dozens of applicants, and experienced a wide variety of weirdness and fakes both in resumes and on screen calls. Please note that I’m talking about raw “application box resumes”. Referrals and other semi-vetted sources don’t get this level of scrutiny.
I gave two examples of secondary sources, but what I’m really getting at here is that the numbers and noise are so, so high now (not to mention staffing firm fronts and foreign actors) that I usually need more signal than a solid-looking resume before investing even 30’ in a screening call.

LLM-driven application sites were not a thing in 2022 (used by both real humans and scammers).

Seconding. These days I will rarely talk to anyone without a verified LinkedIn or other presence like a clearly inhabited GitHub (and I’m not looking for hyperactivity by any means)

TileDB, Inc. | Full-Time | REMOTE | USA, Greece/EU | https://tiledb.com/
TileDB has recently announced a $34 million Series B fund-raise and is actively hiring for engineers across a range of roles (SRE, backend/distributed systems, database internals, and more). You will have the opportunity to work on innovative technology that creates impact for challenging problems in genomics, geospatial, machine learning, distributed systems, and many other areas.
TileDB Cloud is the modern database, allowing developers and scientists to capture, analyze, and share any data with any tool. We build on a broad foundation of open source, maintaining the TileDB storage engine, libraries for genomics (single-cell and population), geospatial (raster, point clouds, and more), a TileDB visualization engine extending Babylon.js, and much more ([github.com/TileDB-Inc/TileDB](http://github.com/TileDB-Inc/TileDB))
With TileDB, all data — tables, genomics, images, videos, location, time-series — is captured as multi-dimensional arrays. To supercharge this data, TileDB Cloud implements a serverless infrastructure delivering query execution, access control, data and code sharing, and distributed computing at global scale — eliminating cluster management, minimizing TCO, and promoting scientific collaboration and reproducibility.

“Modern Compiler Implementation” by Appel is definitely worth a look. I read the ML version, and the code is really clean/readable (not sure about the C and Java versions).

TileDB is the database for complex data, allowing data scientists, researchers, and analysts to access, analyze, and share any data with any tool at global scale. Here are some active projects you could work on:
- vector search, utilizing TileDB and TileDB Cloud for seamless scaling: https://tiledb.com/blog/why-tiledb-as-a-vector-database (library: https://github.com/TileDB-Inc/TileDB-Vector-Search)
- single cell genomics: in collaboration with the Chan-Zuckerberg Initiative, we recently released TileDB-SOMA for single cell data, with APIs for both Python and R built around a common storage specification: https://tiledb.com/blog/tiledb-101-single-cell
With TileDB, all data — tables, genomics, images, videos, location, time-series — across multiple domains is captured as multi-dimensional arrays. TileDB Cloud implements a totally serverless infrastructure and delivers access control, easier data and code sharing and distributed computing at global scale, eliminating cluster management, minimizing TCO and promoting scientific collaboration and reproducibility.

TileDB is the database for complex data, allowing data scientists, researchers, and analysts to access, analyze, and share any data with any tool at global scale. We have just launched a vector search library leveraging TileDB and TileDB Cloud for powerful local search and seamless scaling to multi-modal organizational datasets and batched computation: https://tiledb.com/blog/why-tiledb-as-a-vector-database (library: https://github.com/TileDB-Inc/TileDB-Vector-Search)
With TileDB, all data — tables, genomics, images, videos, location, time-series — across multiple domains is captured as multi-dimensional arrays. Our vector search library and other offerings are designed to empower these datasets with extreme interoperability via numerous APIs and tool integrations across the data science ecosystem, eliminating the hassles and inefficiencies of data conversion. TileDB Cloud implements a totally serverless infrastructure and delivers access control, easier data and code sharing and distributed computing at global scale, eliminating cluster management, minimizing TCO and promoting scientific collaboration and reproducibility. TileDB, Inc. was spun out of MIT and Intel Labs in May 2017 and is backed by Two Bear Capital, Nexus Venture Partners, Uncorrelated Ventures, Intel Capital and Big Pi. Recent press-release for the 1.0 release of our Single-Cell API, supporting Python, C++, and R with AnnData and Seurat: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20230328005380/en/Til...

> Cxxwrap was broken for a while there, maybe a few years? Maybe it was cxx
Yes, Cxx: https://github.com/JuliaInterop/Cxx.jl -- it uses Clang to generate JIT'd interop thunks, and does neat things to enable that, like cross-language type inference and inlining (in addition to the REPL).
CxxWrap is a different thing, which AFAIK has been actively maintained for > 5 years now: https://github.com/JuliaInterop/CxxWrap.jl
It is similar to Boost.Python/pybind11/nanobind: bindings are written in C++ and compiled ahead of time into a module that defines Julia entrypoints. Those entrypoints take care of signature selection, translation to/from Julia objects, and lifetime bookkeeping.

The fact that Buck2 is written in a statically-compilable language is compelling, compared to Bazel and others. It's also great that Windows appears to be supported out of the box [1,1a] -- and even tested in CI. I'm curious how much "real world" usage it's gotten on Windows, if any.
I don't see many details about the sandboxing/hermetic build story in the docs, and in particular whether it is supported at all on Linux or Windows (the only mention in the docs is Darwin).
It's a good sign that the Conan integration PR [2] was warmly received (if not merged, yet). I would hope that the system is extensible enough to allow hooking in other dependency managers like vcpkg. Using an external PM loses some of the benefits, but it also dramatically reduces the level of effort for initial adoption. I think bazel suffered from the early difficulties integrating with other systems, although IIUC rules_foreign_cc is much better now. If I'm following the code/examples correctly, Buck2 supports C++ out of the box, but I can't quite tell if/how it would integrate with CMake or others in the way that rules_foreign_cc does.
(one of the major drawbacks of vcpkg is that it can't do parallel dependency builds [3]. If Buck2 was able to consume a vcpkg dependency tree and build it in parallel, that would be a very attractive prospect -- wishcasting here)

Does the library side of this provide an emulated socket API? The CheerJ docs [1] say:
> Not yet. The main problem is that RuneScape requires low level network connections primitives (sockets)
So, I'm guessing the same applies to the C++ version?

In practice it is POSIX-only, which is not viable in an organization where Windows needs to be a first class development and deployment platform. Running under cygwin or WSL is a non-starter for a number of reasons (I've done that myself for tooling in the past, after which I would never impose it at an organizational level).

> Use a package management system, and explicit dependencies
vcpkg strongly recommends using it as a submodule. But at least that would only be one submodule.
