It's historical. The US always had the same currency, so shares are almost by design fungible between markets. Also the rise of Nasdaq made for a quick transition to broker-dealer (market maker driven) markets, which combined with fung

Well technically there are different trading hours, calendars and sessions for each market / segment of NYSE. In practice though I don't think you will find many companies listed on multiple subsegments of NYSE in 2025. Roughly sp

My variation is to use a custom script as `ProxyCommand` that resolves private route53 DNS names to instance ids, because remembering instance IDs is insane.

I'm being picky here, but I don't think you portray an fair view of Kuhn's epistemology here. Kuhn does not define a value-scale of both methods, on the contrary, he merely introduces the concept of different researchs: one b

Agree with you 100%, I did the same simulations and found the same result. I would suggest a step beyond though, because rebalancing your portfolio is fun year 1-5, but not so fun year 5-20: have a look at e.g. Vanguard retirement target fu

Centuries are also 50 years late on average... And everyone is on average 6 months older than they say. Also moving the rounding 1 place down doesn't solve anything. Now your second-resolution clock is on average 500ms late unless you

My take: - The UI is over bloated and bugged, sometimes things scroll, sometimes they don't, sometimes you have to refresh the page. You cannot easily change the UI as lots of CSS parts have hard coded fixed sizes. - The settings are a

Just my 2 cents: The _external_ way of doing introspection (a parser like yours) is generally very limiting in real life, as you will have to interpret all the preprocessor directives that your code follows. e.g.: struct Foo { #if
