Nah; Lotus got very defocused on new C++ and cross-platform spreadsheets. Maybe Microsoft misled them on the relative importance of OS/2 vs Windows, but to my eyes it was a classic case of too much money leading to a focus on abstract

Post doesn't actually say what was broken, or indeed prove the location of broken-ness. Just that it went away with a different compile option. Exciting writing, but lacking a point.

Bulls are people who believe the market is going up, and buy; bears believe it is about to go down, and sell. A sustained move in one direction over weeks is a "bull market" or "bear market".

This is, broadly speaking, the same story that came out in 2012: "Barclays Submitters believed mistakenly that they were operating under an instruction from the Bank of England (as conveyed by senior management) to reduce Barclays&#x27

It refers to the generation of electricity. "National Grid" implies that, since that is the name of the system of wires that carries electricity throughout the UK. But only if you have the necessary context.

The idea of copying multiple other repos into mine. I have used git submodules to avoid copying, but if one library has its own vendor'd copies you can end up with two versions of the same dependency. Which is even more ugly.

One day, I thought "I should go see Chuck Berry, because he's getting old and I'd like to see him before he dies" So I did. That was in 1987. Unlike standard rock concerts, Chuck Berry came on stage at exactly the time p

I have found the mechanics of mathematical proof invaluable when programming, because they show you how to be very clear about what you do know and what you don't know. Basically "Is this thing just a random example, or something

The data is what's valuable. You can't get up-to-date data for free, and if you can then you can't re-publish it.

Some of it is fed in directly by the providers. For example Barclays and JPMorgan interest rate swap rates. There is a network effect: all the customers the dealers want to reach are on Bloomberg, so they have to publish on Bloomberg. If so
