BND is not really that safe. I've owned it for the past 2 years or so. There are occasional price swings (likely caused by interest rate speculation, but not sure) that can knock out months of dividend income gains. I would say that more di

Interesting that on a six core machine there is very little gain after a Degree of Parallelism of 3. The problem does seem highly data parallelizable (is that a word). So why isn't it able to better utilize the 6 cores?

Can you explain why please?

Yeah, I don't mind it either. Syntax is not a big deal to me, I care more about the unique capabilities of a language are. But I have heard other developers say they hate it.

For the less technical it sometimes helps to qualify what something is even if it is embedded in the abbreviation. But considering the audience here, you're right. I will remove the offending word.

There are frameworks full of very high-level abstractions that can make it a lot easier up front. BUT, that only delays it being hard down the road when the abstraction you got for free has to be replaced. Often that time comes very quickly

I'm curious how the Ticker object provides more accurate tick timing than setTimeout considering it just uses setTimeout.

What is the proximity of this building to Wall Street? I wonder if they are looking to get a foot into the high frequency trading business in some way.

I didn't see a link to the FAQ anywhere. I see now it is a small link at the very bottom. Regardless, I still don't see what the great value proposition is other than that they are friendly. My bank (a small local bank) has never charged me

It's unclear what Bank Simple actually is. Hopefully (for their sake) it will be clear when they launch.

Seems to be broken (in Chrome beta). It always just goes to the Credits page when trying to view any section. Or maybe the creators just have really big egos.
