The problem with Design Thinking is that Design Thinking has become a cargo-cult of meaningless buzzwords and hot air. The same can be said about Agile -- it's just a collection of buzzwords loosely connected into a "framework&quo

Imagine, Casca and Brutus don't stab Caesar. Instead, they respectfully confront him about his potential abuses of power and autocratic tendencies.

I think the biggest issue is not even the left/right or political bias of Wikipedia but rather the fact that some committee of wiki editors decide along what seem to be fairly arbitrary/subjective lines that some sources are relia

Interestingly, after months of chopping along at the whims of the FDA, the stock actually sold off a little today after the news came out at 2pm.[1] A good example of what it means for news to to be "already priced in," and how in

Great point! For example, this Informational RFC is literally a 4 page cookbook on how to use Kerberos in a practical way. https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc4559

At a 10,000 foot view (pedants will take offense) you should look to use multiprocessing for tasks which are CPU bound, and asyncio/threads (but really asyncio if you can) for problems which are IO-bound. This is a massive simplificati

As a daily user of kdb+/q, I can say that at least for me, it's one of the "best feeling" and most ergonomic tools i've ever used. I can actually query and understand tables in a very fast REPL in a way that would r

You do an A/B test so even for the same tweet or same time period, you’re just comparing the new, “treatment” group against the old “control group.”

I live in Miami and speaking anecdotally, the article is right about the facts and wrong about the conclusion. It’s true that crypto money has dried up, the FTX arena has been re-renamed, that the crypto tide in Miami rose and fell in about

> Approvers say “yes” or “not yet.” We want to encourage constructive comments, so the template doesn’t suggest “no.” Instead of just vetoing an idea, it’s better to be clear on what it would take to approve it. I'm not trying to be

Reminds me of Vernor Vinge’s Rainbow’s End. There’s a subplot in which the Geisel Library wants to digitize thousands of books in a very fast amount of time, but the digitization machine to do so needs to destroy the books by tearing apart

You can still have thread safety issues with the GIL in place, because globals and other data is shared between threads. For example, you can put a dictionary at the module level, thread A can set a key in that dictionary like “name”, threa

That’s forward stock market returns. AKA,__after__ everyone has been fired. You need to look at what happens to stock prices during the recession/firing.

I would have to argue that while community is a huge part (a lot of trades get done over IB), the biggest advantage is actually data. Bloomberg has all sorts of connections with hundreds of different economic data providers and news orgs —

This is true. I ran a 3+ Sharpe and over 40% annualized strategy on PredictIt back when they had the tweet markets a few years ago. It was literally just fitting a Poisson model to Trump, Pence, White House, POTUS, and VP twitter accounts a

Exactly right about the seeing the data and rerunning calculations. The programmers who look down their nose at Excel are doing the exact same thing in Jupyter Notebooks and in their REPLs. >I can see the state of any given variable at a
