May I ask what languages you tend to favour? I've had a few friends tell me lately that they were all giving up on Go after persisting with it since early 2010. They are all people who tend to work in C/C++ so they don't tend

I downloaded Sublime 2 yesterday and gave it a try. I'm a Vim user and I was just interested what else is around. I found it very slow on both OSX and Xubuntu, there are annoying things like the right click menu hanging sometimes, plug

This is terrible news, its the closest thing to retiring right? It might be a wider audience for Colbert and his team (according to another report he told his team they are all moving to CBS) but surely they will have to water down their co

Well the odds are probably against it. The re-election of Bush in 2004 is one of the most recent instances I can think of where an electorate was more concerned about stability of their country than fabrication of a war. If the majority of

It would not generally be of interest to discretionary traders (as you are likely describing) but for automated trading using statistical models it is important to be able to construct a continuous series. The sudden price jump from backwar

This is very cool. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has fantasized about starting an airline and doing it 'right' after an annoying flight. Probably not going to happen but at least I can read about it now.

It would be great if many more people use a subscription as a form of support. The Guardian has been making a loss for a number of years now and the next logical step to silence them would be to put financial pressure on them. Now would be

I would question whether Australian cities are not that big. Sydney covers an area comparable to Greater London. I've lived in Perth, Sydney and now London and I've progressively cycled less through each of those moves. Perth is a

It is a great idea that just needs the right medium. BBSs were a great medium because it took effort to find a board, connect and learn the etiquette. The early web was a great medium because it was a whole new environment to learn and expl

I worked at a company where we migrated from CVS to Mercurial in 2009 and then to Git a year later. I would say that the general move to distributed source control away from CVS/SVN style centralised systems picked up steam from 09 onwards,

Maybe it is a unique marker of those who are technically minded to be especially aggrieved by an arbitrary restriction such as this? Going through the London2012 ticket website today I noticed the requirement to pay by Visa and even though

In derivative markets such as futures there are predefined price and volume limits (in the jargon 'limit up' and 'limit down' - ie: max up and down movements.) These limits exist primarily to prevent market manipulation or cornering a marke

I have experience in HFT, there are similarities to market making and I have plenty of colleagues who've worked in market making. Just like any company the culture is largely dependent on those in charge. Founders of these companies fall in

Sure and there are chinese walls etc but if there is the possibility of making huge amounts of money someone within the structure will attempt to subvert those controls. The question is to what extent firms seek to root out those practices
