Hey, shorter than it took evolution.

I was. HFT is an interesting and rich problem on its own, but its complexity and difficulty pale in comparison to cancer research. And I don't get this "our brightest minds wasted on HFT/adclicks/etc" argument. Rese

Application path scanning follows symlinks recursively. One upwards link, and it never terminates.

You wouldn't crunch numbers with it, but it was responsive and fast enough for most purposes, and had simple interfaces to faster native libraries for a lot of the rest.

Culture fit can be important in a sufficiently small company. What's baffling is why anyone would say that out loud to a declined candidate.

What do you mean by "devolution from Quake to Call of Duty"? I am honestly curious, as I haven't played either (motion sickness; no FPS for me).

I never thought aerial hobby drones were that interesting, but that sounds fascinating, as you'd be looking around in an environment seldom experienced otherwise.

NYC roads themselves make a good case for driving 4WD SUVs. What measly taxes we must be paying are clearly all spent on keeping the subway system clean and affordable.

There are fast tracks to permanent residence after a PhD [1]. But if you don't want to immigrate (owe US taxes for foreign income, etc.) then you're right. Staying on H1B is no way to live. [1] http://www.uscis.gov&#x2F

Blue light may be interrupting sleep patterns, but I assume people who call themselves night owls share with me a certain feeling of mental haze during daylight hours, regardless of sleep schedule. I'm also about 5% weaker at lifting m

I've been using RunPee for a long time, and it's been fantastic. Yes, they broke it a couple of times, but whatever, seems fine now. If I have to get a new phone, the essentials I need are text, email, maps, and RunPee.

That's almost as practical, comfortable, and dignifying as the alternative non-App solution of just peeing in your pants.

A good number of popular small restaurants in NYC are cash-only. And then there's splitting the bill with large groups, where you don't want to (or can't) add yet another card to the pile, especially if you're not splitt

Deep learning models are neural networks, but their recent popularization is due to a new method of building them incrementally, adding generative hidden layers trained as autoencoders to extract representative features, until the final dis

You might not realize this if you have never trained for strength, but strength is very obviously measurable, especially with barbells, and when you get that feedback often enough with a program like this, it quickly becomes addictive. You

It takes a good 5 minutes of vigorous cranking against resistance to grind just two scoops of coffee though. Forearms are not amused. I'm shopping for an electric.

It can't hurt to deeply study joseki, but it's unusual advice before single-digit kyu, if not later (and hardly a way to get good FAST).

That said, there is a special place in hell for people who move next to an airport and then complain about the noise. The special place next to hell's airport.

Wish I could, but I'd have to shave again in the morning. Keratin shoots out of my face like meat from a grinder.

Are "safety" razors as safe as the fancier stuff when you're barely awake and in a hurry?

Not to mention quietly setting up a public profile page in your name that starts showing up among top results when people search for you. Creepy is right.

In practice, trading costs are very steep, and a single trading signal is almost never enough to exceed them, but multiple signals can be combined to make a decision while costs stay the same. For an individual signal study like this, a no-
