It always makes me happy that Smoot ended up being the ISO president.

Regarding who the shares are borrowed from, from my understanding, any client who signs a margin account agreement also signs something that says "sure, you can borrow my shares, and lend them to another person". Your account will never sh

Sort of. There are times when a structured class gives you more benefit than unstructured. Specific examples off the top of my head are like sciences where you need lab equipment. Or if you're the kind of learner who needs lectures rather

The theory is that Apple can spend the money better than the investor, by using it to do more R&D, make new products, and make the portion of the company represented by the share more valuable. In growth mode, that's not unusual. In co

Except you know, when there's mental illness, physical disease, drug addiction, or some other pretty major reason that they can't just "snap out of it". You are right that people who don't have that kind of barrier should, and mostly do get

I did debate in high school. Specifically the Policy debate variety. And yes, depending on the specific tournament, you had 3 or more rounds, and an even balance of affirmative vs. negative sides. This sounds like this is more of an exhib

Also note that any reasonable broker has both StopLoss and StopLimit orders. Where it's either a market, or limit order that only gets triggered when the price goes to a certain level. (you can stop up too. "Buy if price goes above X", use

Hell, you don't need algorithms to do that. This is just what market makers do. Humans are a bit slower than computers, so the price may fluctuate by a few more cents, but the exact same order will end up happening.

by cschneid 16y ago
Because they are treated differently on the market. Market orders (sell at any price) are handled first, and then, limit orders are. You can only guarantee one thing: either execution, or a price level. And when you're dealing with stop lo

Bad ticks are fairly common, and in a very rapid market, I wouldn't be surprised that the penny didn't actually happen.

This is similar to Citrusbyte's Stories library (disclaimer, I work for Citrusbyte). http://github.com/citrusbyte/stories It's a fairly lightweight layer on top of Test::Unit that lets you define nested stories and scenarios, integrating

This argument bothers me, since it degrades everything teachers do. My girlfriend student taught this semester, and worked her ass off, in coordination with her supervising teacher to build interesting lessons (history in particular). The

It feels like a totally made up problem: "Here's a binary search algo description, implement it perfectly without testing". That's not even close to how developers work, and he amplifies the disconnect with the real world by choosing a prob

But money can get you over that hiccup that a sales causes. The worries of going into an unknown environment can be enough to cause people to jump ship. But if you pay them, you get a year to sell your company to them as a long term soluti

I don't think the app is meant to be a whole color scheme design tool, so much as a helper that solves the specific question: "What is one shade lighter of this color?". "How about two shades".

Literature == art Journalism == engineering (both of the written word). Complaining that literature is a waste of time is like saying I can't paint my house with oil paints and a tiny brush. Technically true, but you're really missing the

(Not a lawyer) From my point of view, there has been lots of individually useful rules that have been added to the court system, that when taken in aggregate have negative effects. There are lots of pre-trial motions that have specific use

You're correct that there is gray area. There's also a ton of stuff way beyond the gray area. Moving depictions of sex off into a .xxx domain would not be very hard. Just because something isn't perfect, doesn't mean it's not a good idea.

Testing is a vague term. There are lots of types of testing, which other posts go over quite well, but I'll give a rundown. * Requirements testing - take the napkin you scribbled your idea on, and mentally run through it a few time. A feat

So they are showpieces? My other googling indicates they may contain or be comprised of their other (paid) work? The site itself is very cool, was mostly wondering at the underlying item and why it exists (beyond the fact they look cool).

Sorry for being disconnected, but is there a 2 line explanation of what I'm watching? They're visually entertaining, but I don't get much beyond that.

Turing machines don't define speed. So if the human is willing to get notified of a tape overrun, and splice on more tape, it is infinite.

Most likely it's more than time tracking. It's also paychecks. And once you get into paychecks in government, there are LOTS of nasty little loopholes and special rules that apply only to this small set of people, etc, etc, etc.

The 404 pages are cached, not dead-ends. I don't know what they do with them. They very well could have "Check out our awesome stories, they're so funny".

How the author needs to find a different language that runs on the JVM. Seriously though, his suggestions boil down to "make breaking changes to the language so it looks nicer". Then it's a different language.

May I suggest Monk, which is built on top of Sinatra, and provides a nice basis to organize your code.
