That's not a great suggestion given the constraints. Kdb costs way more than "a couple hundred per month". Also a billion rows quickly falls outside the 32 bit addressable range given most of the calcs happen in memory. What&

In the US there are over 2300 ETFs covering major market countries, asset classes, equity exposures, fixed income exposures, factors, thematics like ESG, gaming, MAGA. There are also options-embedded strategies and 2x, 3x and -1x, -2x, and

When will jupyter have "highlight and execute" functionality? The cell concept is fine, but I'm constantly copy pasting snippets of code into new cells to get that "incremental" coding approach...

I noticed today that the mic was "muted" on zoom. I chimed in on the video call I was on and the window flashed a reminder that I was "muted". So clearly the mic itself is not muted - the software is still listening. No

> just a minimum of 10% over the next 2 years. Misleading... Sure breakeven is 10% if you assume all-else-equal. Your path to profitability is path dependent. If it moved 10% tomorrow, you would probably be hard-pressed to make any money

You may be missing the forest for the trees. The oil market has fundamentally shifted in the last decade. The US is energy independent with its massive oil projects and unfettered access to fracking and tar sands and what not. Don't ca

There's no free lunch. Anyone with valuable stock tips will not share them here. I will share one piece of investing advice though. Good fund managers - on average - make their money on good sector selection and not so much on good sto

I found this bit from the paper interesting. A Google search with “coronavirus” yielded 3,550,000,000 results on March 3 and 9,440,000,000 results on March 14. Conversely, “influenza” attracted 30- to 60-fold less attention althou

That's messed up. Our zoom usage at the company has skyrocketed these past few weeks. I was marveling at how smooth and seamless the process was. Though I was a bit peeved zoom always steers you to the installed app instead of keeping

You also don't need to wait 16 hours for a leavening. Just about 2 hours with the process explained in the article may be sufficient as well. YMMV though since, in my experience, the simplicity of it all is actually quite nuanced and d
