If it's true that divorces are being brought forward this means that couples who remain together after the e.g. 1 year mark are stronger, thus you'd expect the long term rate to go down.

Divorce can be initiated by either party and the wording in the abstract ("divorce-risk") suggests they're looking at whether divorce happens, regardless of who initiated it. (I can't access the main paper, to verify wha

To anyone interested in broadening their knowledge of programming languages, I suggest they should also learn languages from non-imperative paradigms. In particular, functional languages (Haskell, Ocaml etc) and array-based languages (J, q&

There is a difference between writing tests once you're done with your exploratory phase and know what you have to code up and doing full blown TDD from the beginning.

That's an edgy thing to post, tbh, in terms of how HN readers will take this. I think there are 2 arguments for TDD: 1. For at least some bits of your code, you would benefit from having tests. Writing tests after the fact is a pain, s

I agree that the book indicates the type of data and maybe setup that rentech is trading, but, imo, it still doesn't fully explain the mystery. I've worked many years in a top systematic fund (~30% yoy, high sharpe return for the

This is a nothing story. Do authors that put out 0-information content like this (Richard Teitelbaum in this case) - I wonder how they view their job. Same goes for the editor that looked this article over.

Rewind looks cool - almost magical (I imagine part of the magic is due to the M1/M2 chips). But I would be concerned overly relying on them. They've raised VC money, which means their future path is unclear. I don't know what
