You must have misread. GP said "easier" not "easy". Hard tech startups are notoriously harder to get off the ground than software companies.

And what guarantees do you have that the probabilistic failure rate won't be turned to 0 at some point in the future? Except for Google's pinky swear, I mean.

Your comment is needlessly snarky and patronising. Your link would have been sufficient.

You can make GC languages work for HFT if you do zero allocation code. There are places that use Java and just preallocate all the memory they need at startup. Jane Street famously uses OCAML

But is that because of the excellent WLB and pay or because of the social impact?

HFT is _arguably_ better than advertising for society.

Thought provoking article. Odd that it's been flagged, though.

If I'm hiring for a real time video streaming platform, I probably don't want to hire a backend dev who has 0 experience in the field and takes 100x thr time, so this seems fine. The point of the assignment isn't to make it &

If you did, it could help you with this exact problem. It's installed by default on many operating systems (and easy to get hold of, otherwise)

It's kind of funny because, on the one hand, yes, you need to be fast and have clever hacks. On the other hand, your edge can be explained in very simple terms: in the article, their edge comes from the fact that they had a closer colo

This is comedic level of corruption. Reminds me of the post communists Eastern European country I grew up in -- you piss off someone, a call is made, you get demoted or reassigned to a dead end post. Separately, the minority bias angle seem

Fyi, this kind of knee jerk reaction to a not even that nuanced point the GP is making hurt this community. It takes a lot less effort to generate your superficial criticism than it takes the GP to reply. Fortunately, he did reply in a sibl

Yes, ads suck. However, here's my take on advertising: Modern economic markets are a decentralized process via which we decide how to best allocate resources. For this to work, we need a mechanism that allows information to be broadcas

There is an argument to be made that all journalism is intrinsically biased and the simple decision of _which_ statistic to publish is meaningful.

This reminds me of how some people argue they actually drive better when drunk. Many studies have proven that: 1. Driving ability is impaired by alcohol consumption (or lack of sleep, incidentally) 2. People are very bad at estimating how s
