Would give more than 1 upvote to this if I could. After searching for anything other than vague threats in the first few paras I gave up.

The English language (or is it the American language?) is not static. Words change meaning all the time. Naturally, but in a technical discussion about the technicalities of trading technology, we must agree on the meaning, whatever that

It's possible that popularist media such as (Lewis etc) have put forward alternative ideas on what the term means, but if we are to have meaningful discussion, we must agree on what we mean in the context of this discussion. Hence atte

Either that. Or front running (in the technical sense) is not happening. If it were, other HFT's would pounce at an opportunity to declare a cheat. Occams razor suggests that systemic corruption within the SEC is less likely than the p

Front running is a technical term. It means to take orders from clients, and then make trades in front of the clients orders, using the information obtained to trade against the client. It's a very quick way to make a profit. It is als

Be careful: They did not say that C is not Turing complete. They say that the C Standard does not define a language which is Turing complete. There is a subtle distinction between these two statements, but an important one. The larger point

I was one of the early users of seL4 and am still a named author on the seL4 manual. It's quite possible that things have changed/improved over the last few years, but when I was working on it, I found the programming environment

As someone who recently interviewed for a major internet company, I can report that every interview I took included the requirement for me to write code (real code, with semicolons) on the white board, in front of the interviewers. Every co

Very interesting until I got to the word "toxins". At that point I stopped reading. Any time you use the word "toxins" my pseudo-science radar turns on and my ears/eyes turn off. It turns out that the paper referenc

I looked seriously at Conductor, but its world is very much tied into using a static configuration files so it's not very programable. This works ok if your experiments are simple, but not so much if you have more complex needs. So, I

Academic publishing is a conversation between academics. No one paper is truly authoritative and only with time will the highly cited well regarded contributions make themselves known within the academic community (and eventually outside of

Helpful explanation. Thanks! Looking at this I have a very specific question, from a practical getting work done point of view, is this better than what we have, or just different to what we have. If the answer is "different"

Interesting idea. Very similar to Bluespec Verilog ( http://www.bluespec.com/high-level-synthesis-tools.html ) which also builds on a foundation of Haskell to Verilog translation ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki&

In my experience very few publications (none in the related work) publish the original unprocessed measurement datasets that were captured during the experiments. In some cases these can be obtained from the authors provided that the paper

Keep in mind, this is a bachelors thesis. It's not a peer reviewed research article in a respected systems journal or conference. I mean this in both a positive and a negative sense. Positive in sense that the purpose of a bachelors th

This seems a little short-sighted to me. Bailing out the banks was not a question of protecting the banks (who are by no means blameless), it was a question of limiting collateral damage. A large bank failing has the potential to render (li

Surprising. >10us sounds pretty slow to me.

You are assuming that a high performance, latency tuned system is using the OS network stack. This would be a petty naive implementation. Offerings from Solarfalre (OpenOnload) and Exablaze (ExaSock) transparently offload and bypass the ker
