If you're someone who owns Microsoft, what option would you prefer? 1. Stock price remains the same but revenue doubles. 2. Revenue stays the same, but stock price doubles. Assuming all else equal, and recognizing that this is absolute

Hyperliquid and similar exchanges aren't decentralized. That is their long term goal but they are very far from achieving it. The few actual decentralized exchanges are too slow and expensive.

Profitability is not in any way considered a property of the correctness of an algorithm. An algorithm can be profitable and incorrect, and an algorithm can be correct but not profitable. Correctness has to do with whether the algorithm per

I can tell you as someone who is a designated market maker on several ETFs in the U.S., none of this exists as a means of giving market makers priority fills. You're taking existing terms and misusing them. For example institutional or

We use back testing at my firm for two primary reasons, one as a way to verify correctness and two as a way to assess risk. We do not use it as a way to determine profitability.

>Your order can legally be “front run” by the lead or designated market maker who receives priority trade matching, bypassing the normal FIFO queue. Not all exchanges do this. Unless you're thinking of some obscure exchange in a tin

Not sure I understand what point you're trying to dispute. It's not obvious at all that you read either my post or the paper I posted authored by the main contributors to MSVC and GCC about the issues mixed-mode applications prese

Using #ifndef NDEBUG in templates is one of the leading causes of one-definition rule violations. At least traditionally it was common to not mix debug builds with optimized builds between dependencies, but now with contracts introducing ye

Not sure what you mean by the term "legit". The entirety of the STL is inlined so it's always compiled in every single translation unit, including the translation units of third party dependencies. Also it's not me say

I see that C++26 has some incredibly obscure changes in the behavior of certain program constructs, but this does not mean that these changes are improvements. Just reviewing the actual hardening of the standard library, it looks like in C+

Just a cursory search on Github should put this idea to rest. You can do a code search for std::optional and .value() and see that only about 20% of uses of std::optional make use of .value(). The overwhelming majority of uses off std::opti

Okay but now you're explaining that correctness is not necessarily the only reasonable state. It's possible to sacrifice some degree of correctness for enormous gains in performance because having absolute correctness comes at a c

Even if this were true (and it's not), that is not tax evasion.

That Rust produced a predictable and deterministic way of failing, while in C++ the equivalent code of accessing an uninitialized value without verifying it beforehand would have resulted in entirely unpredictable behavior whose reach is en

Can you elaborate further on the tax evasion part? The money laundering part I can see since the value of art is subjective and volatile, but how does what OP said explain how art can be used for tax evasion?

What's awful is thinking that making mistakes is a form of shame, and that being corrected is a form of dominance. That view is something that is taught and acquired and I am very thankful that the people who taught me never made me fe

The main purpose of sarcasm is not humor, it's to use irony as a form of contempt. To the extent that humor is involved it's usually done so as a form of mockery.

You learned nothing because the extent of your knowledge tends to be rather superficial when it comes to C++. Office does not use C++ modules, what Office did was make use of a non-standard MSVC feature [1] which reinterprets #include prepr

There isn't much of a final version shipped. It's pretty well understood that modules are underspecified and their implementation across MSVC, clang, and GCC is mostly just ad-hoc based on an informal understanding among the peopl

My understanding is that ISS is not self-sustaining even in principle. It consistently needs to be resupplied with water and breathable air as the station continuously leaks it. These resupplies happen about once every month or two. This ar

Being isomorphic is not the same as being identical, or substitutable for one another. Type theory generally distinguishes between isomorphism and definitional equality and only the latter allows literal substitution. So a Nine type with a

Yes, the compiler contains an interpreter for the entire language, not just a subset. It is circular as you rightly point out, but there's no contradiction here. Typically the interpreter limits itself to only evaluating pure functions

It is just Java as far as I can tell. Other languages with a finally don't allow for explicitly exiting the finally block.
