It still requires the aggregator to offer it for less that $30 (at least the cost of dough less). Which, at least in this case, seems to requires a scraping error.

But the wider context here -- and the reason the changed version was presumably written -- is the accusation that folds are overcomplicated. It's under that lens that I am criticizing the changed code.

Regardless of the induvidual merits of the changes (and I do disagree with you), it's not reasonable to say: "Folds are overcomplicated, here's a version without folds which is simpler" whilst also making a range of unre

The code on the right feels in mildly bad faith to me. - consts are dropped - variable definitions are merged onto multiple lines - usefully named constants like `nPixels`, `nBytes` are elided - the `idx` lambda is inlined Th

It's probably an oversimplification, but differential equations -- as a field of study -- tends to be much more a grab bag of tricks than many branches of mathematics.

Your comment about the hidden impact of cancelling snacks reminds me of this article: https://steveblank.com/2009/12/21/the-elves-leave-middle-ear...

IIRC moex is perticularly expensive to trade on, and costs can be non linear -- but something like 1bps of commms is a reasonable approximation as an upper bound. In the paper they claim a cost of 2.5RUB per transaction, not the 20 in the c

It could probably work in an ML variant like SML.

It might be worth getting the notice period (for which I assume you must be paid fully) ticking ASAP.

I'll never understand comments like this. Surely it takes less time to google a phrase you don't understand than to type a comment proclaiming you don't know what it means?

That doesn't sound like 5%, 5% is still firmly middle class.

I'm fully aware of the sensitivites of the quant finance world, but there are plenty of high quality workplaces out there that don't have the extremely invasive approach to security that e.g. g research do.

G-Research should come with the health warning of just how litigous and paranoid around IP theft they are. My understanding is that you can't have a personal phone whilst at work, you're weighed on the way in and out, and they sen

At the very least I would fix the grammar (or pay someone for a copy edit) if you want to be taken seriously.

Copy on your site like "Since we know that Gold, Silver and the VIX, along with market is completely manipulated, you have to find other measures to value stocks." sets off all sorts of red flags for me.

Tea leaves have more caffine than coffee beans, gram for gram. However a brewed coffee has more caffine than a steeped tea (i.e. the actual drinks).

Fantastic, if you're aware that people in different countries use different words for things, then you can also recognize that GP condescendingly correcting to "fantasy soccer" is unnecessary.

Sure, but you have to acknowledge that factorio is incredibly amenable to those types of tests -- in a way that most games aren't.

Sure, and the wikipedia page makes mention of that. But it's not super relevant to the point I'm making about the worst-case complexity of quick sort (which is often misunderstood to be O(n^2)).

Quick sort can be made to be O(n log n) with careful choice of pivot - e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Median_of_medians

tmux could really do with a 'vim-sensible' common sensible default configuration. Mirroring typical linux mouse copy-behaviour is perticularly painful (esp. in a multi-pane setup).

But in the pathological case where all the inputs collide to the same hash, I don't see how you avoid degrading to at least O(N log N), even with resizing -- you must account for the resizing as an O( g(N) ) operation.
