Update!

This gist is out of date and I can no longer help much, as I got rid of my Mac.

This gist is just a compilation of the hard work that others have put in. I'm not a software developer, so if there are any mistakes or better ways of doing things, I'd appreciate any suggestions. Here's a list of the real heroes who made this possible:

HOWTO: heap profiling with jemallocator
  1. Make sure your rust application uses https://github.com/gnzlbg/jemallocator as the global memory allocator (when in doubt, grep jemallocator in your Cargo.lock).
  2. Install jemalloc (we'll only need jeprof), dot, ps2pdf and libunwind on your system. Enable jemallocator's profiling feature (if jemallocator is an indirect dependency, one trick to do is to add a dependency jemallocator = { version = "*", features = ["profiling"] } to your app and let cargo select the || of features for you).
  3. export _RJEM_MALLOC_CONF=prof:true,lg_prof_interval:32,lg_prof_sample:19. lg_prof_interval sets how often profile dump should be written to disk measured in allocated bytes. The value is passed as a power of two, which is 2^32 in our case, i.e. every 4 GiB of allocations of long-lived objects (see https://github.com/jemalloc/jemalloc/wiki/Use-Case%3A-Heap-Profiling). lg_prof_sample:19 tells jemalloc to take a profiling sample every 2^19 = 512 KiB.
  4. Running your binary should produce a bun

Profiling Rust Applications

Profiling performance

Using perf:

$ perf record -g binary
$ perf script | stackcollapse-perf.pl | rust-unmangle | flamegraph.pl > flame.svg

NOTE: See @GabrielMajeri's comments below about the -g option.

A collection of links for streaming algorithms and data structures

General Background and Overview

  1. Probabilistic Data Structures for Web Analytics and Data Mining : A great overview of the space of probabilistic data structures and how they are used in approximation algorithm implementation.
  2. Models and Issues in Data Stream Systems
  3. Philippe Flajolet’s contribution to streaming algorithms : A presentation by Jérémie Lumbroso that visits some of the hostorical perspectives and how it all began with Flajolet
  4. Approximate Frequency Counts over Data Streams by Gurmeet Singh Manku & Rajeev Motwani : One of the early papers on the subject.
  5. [Methods for Finding Frequent Items in Data Streams](http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.187.9800&rep=rep1&t

Build your own private, encrypted, open-source Dropbox-esque sync folder

Prerequisites:

  • One or more clients running a UNIX-like OS. Examples are given for Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, although all software components are available for other platforms as well (e.g. OS X). YMMV
  • A cheap Ubuntu 12.04 VPS with storage. I recommend Backupsy, they offer 250GB storage for $5/month. Ask Google for coupon codes.

Software components used:

  • Unison for file synchronization
  • EncFS for folder encryption

My answers to over 100 Google interview questions

##Google Interview Questions: Product Marketing Manager

  • Why do you want to join Google? -- Because I want to create tools for others to learn, for free. I didn't have a lot of money when growing up so I didn't get access to the same books, computers and resources that others had which caused money, I want to help ensure that others can learn on the same playing field regardless of their families wealth status or location.
  • What do you know about Google’s product and technology? -- A lot actually, I am a beta tester for numerous products, I use most of the Google tools such as: Search, Gmaill, Drive, Reader, Calendar, G+, YouTube, Web Master Tools, Keyword tools, Analytics etc.
  • If you are Product Manager for Google’s Adwords, how do you plan to market this?
  • What would you say during an AdWords or AdSense product seminar?
  • Who are Google’s competitors, and how does Google compete with them? -- Google competes on numerous fields: --- Search: Baidu, Bing, Duck Duck Go
