But if there is a bubble, hedging coins against each other is probably the worst thing you can do, right?

As an aside, as someone that works in this space (yield curve construction, pricing, risking etc), does anyone know of a forum where news items have this sort of discussion?

But why would the bank use the chain, the financial web of trust is already there and doesn't need to use a chain to facilitate internal or external transfers of monies. It would be a huge time sink with no real benefit to the consumer

I think that's a poor example for the following reasons; * if it's a one off payment to all recipients, why not just send it manually? * what happens when you need to add or remove recipients? Compared to just phoning up the bank

In C++ I always do, everything is 'const auto &' if it can be. C# const is different, it's more like C++ '#define'. Why wouldn't you always go for the most immuatable declaration? Even in C++, where you can

One of my favourite sound systems is Room 1 at Fabric in London, they have subs under the floor to help ease the strain on the main rig.

This all sounds like it could potentially be illegal, have you spoken to a lawyer and cleared it all?

With another ~15% for cycling/walking for London, it's an amazingly easy city to get around with transport options that stretch out far from the city itself (I travel 50 miles each way, taking 1hr15m when everything is working cor

Then whoever taught that class didn't teach properly. LIBOR is (s/is/was/g) the risk free rate of lending. After recent financial crisis, OIS treated as a more reliable index rate to use.

This is fantastic news. Are there any other major roadblocks for GuileEmacs?

They generally just look a bit more professional than regular notebooks. I see a lot of people with them (in banking), typically consultants or management. They're really nice notebooks and look awesome. People have them for the same r

Kontakt is pretty cool, not just for drum machines but any samples. For example, the NI orchestra samples are absolutely amazing. For drums it's just another sampler, you're probably better off sticking with Drum Rack unless you w

For all it's warts, in my opinion Linux (and *BSD's) are some of the greatest software engineering efforts of our time. I think we'll be lucky to ever see a FOSS kernel reach the same level of ubiquity in our lifetime as Linu

I can second that, I think switching from Arch -> NixOS was far too much complexity at once. I've been considering using Guix as a package manager on Arch, but it would require a fresh install to avoid conflicts.

In the case of tmux, it's only a single line change to activate mouse scrolling. It's nice to have the times when I switch over from a browser and instinctively try to scroll around.

This comment makes no sense, DSP is a core discipline in both hardware and software.

I have to agree that Spacemacs is seriously complex. I first cam to it because I wanted to try Emacs coming from Vim/nvim but it suffered from prettt bad load times, a bad C/C++ story and a leaky abstraction over packages. I'

I think nowadays it's a bit of a misconception that C++ is unsafe regarding memory; RAII essentially takes care of it for you when you talking about IO or other resources, and under the circumstances that you really need a pointer you

Ubuntu have done really well with 'it just works'; it's the only distro that installs out of the box with the correct Broadcom driver for my Mac Mini. While I could of gone for Arch like I normally do, it was nice for a chang

Back when I was studying for my degree, we used visual programming with an application called Max/MSP [1]. Having a quick glance at Skov it looks very similar although Max (and its open source brethren PureData [2]) probably has a much

That still isn't risk free, a producer could sell some futures contracts and not be able to produce on delivery; then they either have to sell the future on at a below market price (it will be closer to the spot) or purchase oil to mak

I studied Music Technology at university where I picked up DJing and did fairly well (for a student) out of it (I.e. regular paid gigs, invited to play one off events). It's a really, really tough industry. The only way to get a gig is

You can do the same thing in C++, either by intercepting signals on Linux, or setting up a structured exception handler on Windows. It's useful when you either A) want to attempt a recovery or B) have a complex tear down.

I find this point of view to be a bit of hogwash, being a politician _is_ a real life job, it's not just some part time doing-it-for-fun thing.
