weirdly enough, i was just thinking of this same question as well after watching this recent Kurzgesagt video: https://youtu.be/fuFlMtZmvY0?si=SdKM4RdouSompiNT

this hasn’t been my experience in manhattan/brooklyn fwiw. taking the subway is routinely faster. i can see the bus being slower but it’s usually not by much. You also need to deal with parking for a car if you’re not using a rideshare

Certain industries still care about this stuff. Some trading firms rely on performant systems which utilize strategies like what you described. Not everything is in hardware and it varies from place to place

yeah , I've heard Realtek drivers have issues on Linux, it's very hit or miss. How did you swap it on a laptop??

the ads in the start and weather widget bothered me enough to switch to Linux for my desktop. I mostly use Windows to play games and Proton/Steam has gotten good enough that a lot of games I play now work on Linux. The only place I sti

do you by chance have any experience with the realtek ethernet? I too have seen the conventional wisdom around avoiding the realtek chips. I'm looking to build a linux box (hopefully) soon and filtering out mobos with realtek chips is

LA is probably the least public transport friendly major city in the US. It's been improving but it's not great

I've switched over my main desktop to PopOS and while I'm missing out on some games which require anticheat, I'm constantly surprised as to how much I can actually play. It also seems like newer games have better proton suppo

HFT can cover a wide range of diff types of firms/latencies. Bonus structure also makes it so the salary might not be as high, and bonuses can be contingent on performance. This might be true at some of the larger firms on successful d

just my 2 cents, I also have had 5 jobs around the same amount of time, non-FAANG but a diff industry. For me personally, 3 of those jobs were 2-3 years, and the other 2 were short stints at place that were a bad fit. I still get interviews

I think it really depends on the scale of data. If you're dealing with anything less than a GB, it probably doesn't matter all that much, but once you're dealing with larger datasets there is a pretty massive difference with

I didn't realize the floor broker was actually involved with setting the opening price. I always wondered what the incentive was to access floor feeds for opening auctions

isn't there another component to the NYSE auction where the DMM has some input into what the closing/opening price actually is?

i think these really depends on the requirements of the company. there will always be a long tail of scenarios to support, that doesn't mean every company needs support in all those scenarios. some things can be good enough

was 343 considered that profitable? I always thought halo infinite was not panning out to be the live service they were shooting for, which to be fair, might be uncorrelated to how profitable they are.

great to see you on HN as well! I haven't revisited the book in a while but I really liked the chapters I did work on. I have another flight coming up soon so maybe I'll try another chapter :)

This book is still in progress but I've gone through some of the chapters and have enjoyed it. Rust from the Ground Up: https://leanpub.com/rust-from-the-ground-up I was looking for a book that had offline projects I c

I also felt the same way around the characters. They all felt very stiff to me. Not sure if it's the translation or if that's just how they're written.

I really enjoyed this book as well. Just a heads up for anyone interested, there is a vampire character, which seems very out of place initially, but just something that needs to be accepted for the story. It does all kind of fit in by the

I don't think Binance "found" the truth, they heard things and acted on what they heard, but they weren't the ones that did the initial investigation from my understanding

wow I also have a Sony Bravia around the same age and this also happens to me sporadically! drives me insane when it happens, but it's infrequent enough that I haven't replaced it yet.
