Ok, shaking my Twitterverse network. I'm organising the Performance track for QCon London next year, and I want to make sure I don't bias the track construction too much.
If you do performance work, please reply to this tweet or DM me :-) - would love to hear about you!

The Online Safety Bill will have its third reading in the House of Lords on Wednesday. From what I can gather, it is expected to pass. This is quite worrying for online safety. A thread.

OK, real talk.
@telegram makes big proclamations about free speech and privacy, but their promises are mostly marketing.
The app collects a huge amount of data. And like all Big Tech, when actually pressed by governments, they ultimately comply.

I don't often tweet, but circumstances compel.
I'm reminded of a point @tekwendell made on a podcast 10 years ago: there's nothing that's stopping the government from doing, you know, traditional police work. They do not need the power to read messages to stop crime.

I'm not saying traditional policing is perfect, but given that laws are often contextual, removing people from the equation seems very wrong to me.

As an aside: it has been a longstanding UK government policy to try to make the UK friendly to large tech companies. There's also been large investment in security training (e.g for yours truly).
These policies push people away. It makes me question my own place in the UK.

68 (UK affiliated) researchers working on security and privacy have raised alarms about provisions in the UK #OnlineSafetyBill: "our concern is that surveillance technologies are deployed in the spirit of providing online safety."

I guess our advertisements worked too well. We're in dire need of additional evaluators, due to a record high number of registrations. If you or someone in your group is eager to join the team, please fill out the self-nomination form before the weekend: forms.gle/wp5XpF5EmHJEZPxY6

Last chance. @USENIXSecurity 2023 artifact registrations deadline is tomorrow. We look forward to your great artifacts!

To echo this -- use a profiler!
I recently achieved a 10x speedup by changing an environment variable (!!) -- I _never_ would have found the source without using a (stack sampling) profiler. They're worth their weight in gold.

The lesson from years in performance engineering: most software has so much internal bottlenecking that it never maxes out the hardware; just getting it to use available hardware has large perf gains.

Rant incoming! Please don't cite "Foo et al.", especially please don't use "Albrecht et al." Commonly in our field authors are listed in alphabetical order and thus the person centrally responsible for pushing a project across the finish line may be swallowed in "et al."
