You Cannot Have a Public Cloud without Networking
Listening to (some) industry evangelists you would believe that there’s no future in being a networking engineer. After all, all workloads will move into the cloud, and all clients will connect through a universal 5G network… but even if that utopia eventually comes true, you can’t get away from the laws of physics (and the need networking infrastructure).
TL&DR: our new online course will help you master the shiny new world. You can register right now or keep reading ;)

HackPPL: a universal probabilistic programming language Ai et al., MAPL’19
The Hack programming language, as the authors proudly tell us, is “a dominant web development language across large technology firms with over 100 million lines of production code.” Nail that niche! Does your market get any smaller if we also require those firms to have names starting with ‘F’ ? ;)
In all serious though, Hack powers large chunks of Facebook, running on top of the HipHopVM (HHVM). It started out as an optionally-typed dialect of PHP, but in recent times the Hack development team decided to discontinue PHP support ‘in order open up opportunities for sweeping language advancements’. One of those sweeping advancements is the introduction of support for probabilistic reasoning. This goes under the unfortunate sounding name of ‘HackPPL’. I’m not sure how it should officially be pronounced, but I can tell you that PPL stands for “probabilistic programming language”, not “people”!
This paper is interesting on a couple of levels. Firstly, the mere fact that probabilistic reasoning is becoming prevalent enough for Facebook to want to integrate it into the language, and secondly of course what that actually looks like.
Probabilistic reasoning has Continue reading
