Low latency trading (sometimes referred as HFT as well) focuses a lot in data locality. That is to make sure the critical path, that is from market data coming in to new order or cancel order sending out (tick-to-trade), operates in cache a

Avoid “China Insights” or anyone self claimed as China watchers if you don’t want to become victims of propaganda.

You don't need to be in China to dubunk those. You just need to do some independant research easily, say by visiting the CCTV video site. Knowing some Chinese helps, but it won't stop anyone who is determined to find the truth.

This is such a ridiculous claim and also extremely easy to debunk if you have any friends in China they will show you immediately this is false. Yet not a single one comment mentions it. Goes to show the level of discourse happen in the wes

I was for several years. We were using git submodules to handle dependencies, but still using third party packages involves copy paste a lot. `std::variant` was the one we use to mimic the rust `enum` but it is much cumbersome to use, and n

This really depends on your problem domain. Rust productivity is vastly higher than C++ due to its helpful compiler error message, package manager, integrated tests and bench facility, and language features like algebraic datatypes and a wh

True. I am wondering whether this trend would make Fields Medal ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fields_Medal ), the most prestigious award in mathematics, to change its requirement of that recipients must be of age 40 or

I don't really get the hate for TCP here. No one is forcing others to use TCP. It is perfectly fine to just use UDP if TCP is not the right fit for your scenario, and build whatever semantics you need on top of that. QUIC did it. What

Theoretically, Rust can be as fast as C/C++ as long as you dive into unsafe when necessary, or skip string like UTF-8 string. However, a lot of the upside for using Rust will be gone as well, which will not make using Rust as compellin

If you want the lowest software latency as in "latency arbitrage", then probably not. However, even in HFT industry, there are a lot of software that you want very low latency but would still trade a bit latency in exchange for mu

This is the innovation that everybody would see how obvious it is once it's out. And yet no one thought about making it for a very long time.

I am fine with company killing apps or features that don't make money. What i don't like is that company uses corporate talk to hide the real motive to kill popular products. This has happened to CentOS after ibm taking over redha

That's true. NFTs seem also failed the test because the speculated price increase is not "derived from the efforts of others". I think that is one of the reasons SEC considers Bitcoin to be a commodity (which probably falls i

For question of whether SEC has jurisdiction over cryptos, there is something called "Howey Test" for anyone that is unaware of: Under the Howey Test, a transaction qualifies as a security if it involves the following four element
