This is a guest lecture I gave at Two Sigma in November 2018 where I discussed the experience of using Rust for building larger, high-performance systems. In it, I cover what makes Rust an attractive option for such projects; Noria, the high-performance research database prototype I've built using Rust; an interesting concurrent data-structure we use in Noria; and how I've found Rust to work in that context. The presentation slides are available at https://jon.thesquareplanet.com/slide... . You can read more about Noria at https://pdos.csail.mit.edu/noria . ...more

I believe the most effective way to lift people out of poverty is to give them direct financial assistance. That's why I'm raising money for GiveDirectly, an organization that does just that: gives money to impoverished people, to give the power to choose how to improve their own lives.

GiveDirectly is a nonprofit that lets donors send money directly to the world's poorest households. We believe people living in poverty deserve the dignity to choose for themselves how best to improve their lives cash enables that choice.
