This is why memes are so powerful .. you can communicate a 2- or 3- part thought with a well designed meme so that eg 50 % will get it rather than just 5%

Give in to some procrastination. Whatever thing it is that’s pulling your attention away, just go all in on it. YouTube? Fine. Video games? Fine. (As long as it’s not really physically self destructive..) Just scratch the itch. You

The data are in, the experiment has been done, and the conclusions are undeniable: it is a complete disaster. Anyone who thinks criminals are “good people in bad circumstances” and “having to be a criminal is punishment enough for their cri

Unpopular advice: work with good recruiters. Find headhunters that have been contracted to fulfil roles like those you are looking for. Get them to advocate for you and give you feedback.

Not sure which “it” you mean. The movie is clearly a caricature of the stupid-Right. The world is indeed currently both stupid-Right and stupid-Left.

This movie is ripe for a remake where the world is stupid-Left instead of stupid-Right. Starbucks offers gender reassignment surgeries and Costco employees say “Welcome to Costco, I apologise”, and the world-ending crisis is that nobody can

I guess a lot of office environments kinda suck (noisy, lots of Slack and Jira and Zoom even though you are sitting right there, distractions, lukewarm small talk, etc), so if you are remote you can set up a good environment that is better.

It’s fun to sit in the same room/office and brainstorm and actually build something together. Gives that sense of camaraderie, we’re-in-this-together feeling, if it’s with the right people. I also think it’s about 20x more productive i

Chicago, London and Singapore are also good places, although nowadays there are funds everywhere (Boston, SF, Miami). This is a wild overgeneralisation but in descending order of fun levels/friendliness of HFT teams it goes Chicago, Lo

HFT and finance are still mostly in-office. If you join as a front-office dev on a trading team, chances are you will not be remote much and people will be in the office trading.

You are exactly correct, and that’s his only (highly belaboured) point - none of those exciting things are coming out of academia, it’s all commercial labs.

I think your latter point is actually important. I think that while disastrous for the UK, Brexit will be great for the EU. The UK was holding back the closer integration (like close military integration) that would make the EU a relevant

Book looks like it would have been very useful when starting out! I had to glean this information by watching more experienced devs and then bumping through different tutorials, and some of it (like security) is still hard to come by.

Do it for yourself first. Make a style guide and follow it, and setup an automated formatter that will implement that, and apply it to your own code. Write tests for things that you work on. If it’s valuable, and you are a productive team

I’m saying it’s not really deceptive or fraudulent. Is it fraudulent that you offer your house for sale, but when you get a few buyers willing to pay the asking price, you move the price up? Not really. But that is WAY more manipulative th

No, I am being specific here. I am referring to rules regarding market manipulation in lit order books of publicly traded securities and derivatives. Those rules are stupid. I don’t think all rules are stupid, just these particular rules.

by caffeine 5y ago
Unpopular opinion here: these rules are stupid. It’s like fining or jailing someone for bluffing in poker. Of course people are spoofing or doing other manipulative activity. Similar things happen in retail all the time with no jail sen

I think you misunderstood GP - he is saying they didn’t spoof trades , ie order executions , which is correct because you can’t spoof trades. You are talking about spoofed orders . A spoofed trade doesn’t really exist - the closest thin

Actually I think that’s true of every country, EU, US, and elsewhere, to varying degrees. I think it’s much better in Western countries than elsewhere though - nobody would treat a foreigner as “normal” in eg Thailand, Turkey, Philippines,

Khan academy would be a great place - generally in high school you learn enough to get through basic notation.

Sort of agree, but it does have consequences. It raises questions about long-term governance and decision making in Rust, especially as Rust transitions out of Mozilla ownership into a purely public project.

Large OSS projects are largely staffed by corporate contributors - the culture shift in the organisations paying the contributors is reflected in the projects and the communities surrounding them.

The methodology is flawed but the kernel of the idea is good - which universities provide the best platform for would-be founders? Things like proximity to VCs, labs with a history of spin-offs, successful alumni angel networks, etc would a
