Usually they specify the stock part in dollars, it doesn't turn into a concrete number of shares until after you start.

I was in TIP. Hanging out with smart, kind kids every summer was the highlight of my year. Lotta great memories. Public school...not so much.

There's a book called "The Killing Star" where humanity is wiped out by an alien species because "Why take a risk?" That's a hyper rational position.

The magnets are on the outside of the containment vessel, their whole point is to keep the plasma in the center. What little leaks out ablates the walls of the container, it never even touches the magnets.

I'd just like to say, I'm generally hard to please on software, but Blend2D is good stuff, those guys are s-m-r-t.

I write FIR filters in software all the time, it's plenty fast for what I do. Why use analog circuit elements to emulate a fundamentally digital technique? Build an analog circuit with similar filtering characteristics. You can even

Yeah I had a startup offer me 50K shares or something like that and I started poking at what their full diluted share count is and they hemmed and hawwed. Pass.

They just project a periodic signal onto a basis of orthogonal complex exponentials, what's so hard? (/s)

Magit is one of the packages I can't live without now that I've given it an honest try. It's that good.

Hear hear. Everyone that's making excuses for one based is wrong. You need a zero in your set of integers to form a Ring modulo N. I hereby declare everyone that wants 1 based indexing out of some naive sense of it being easier a sc

x86 caches uses virtual address for indexing (physical bits for tag), so this'll increase cache pressure too.

Here's an article on it that was posted awhile back: https://medium.com/@smcallis_71148/complex-arithmetic-is-com... The gist is that you can get Nan+jNan for some operations where you wanted "infinity",

Yeah I guess it depends on what you're trying to optimize (they use web mercator because roads didn't meet at right angles up north for example). But if you're mostly interested in indexing physical areas with polygon approx

I'm still puzzled why they went with 6 quad-trees, instead of doing an equal-area projection with 2:1 ratio and quad-treeing that instead. You lose a bit for half the map but you do with 6 sides too (takes 3 bits).

They don't really, they tried to glue IEEE semantics onto their complex numbers, so they're largely broken in the modern era of auto-vectorizing compilers.

If you have a reasonable hash function, why is power-of-two and bitmasking bad? If you're uniformly distributed over a range N you'll be uniformly distributed over N/2
