It feels like the youngest generation are more enthralled by the big media/tech regime online than we were 20 years ago though Sure we used AIM and MSN Messenger but we also used IRC, visited forums and looked at newsgroups. So many pe

Likely only a shameful % of the company will float.

The product is a minimum of 25% cocoa solids and the oils are listed after that on the ingredients list, which means by weight they are more cocoa than oil.

Not in the US they aren't, since they're made by Hershey and not Nestle and so are a completely different product.

Cadbury have TimeOut but it's not quite the same. (It's lighter, less chocolate and less dense) Clearly intended to be the direct competitor though, since "Have a break, have a KitKat" is the KitKat slogan, and timeout i

My manager is a good developer. But he's also a terrible manager.

Labels like "adult", and "successful" etc are all for other peoples benefit rather than our own. It's all a facade. I'd probably measure maturity in terms of how one navigates relationships. When it comes to m

There are no practical differences between funds and ETFs in the UK, except the fact that the latter are live quoted. Mutual funds are cheap and have no tax disadvantages for us. In fact, outside of tax sheltered accounts, mutual funds are

Most of their funds are incorporated in Ireland (the UK doesn't have native ETFs, they're all European but can be listed on the LSE) Investors in the UK are not partners in Vanguards mutual structure, and Vanguards UK platform (&q

I hate the way Vanguard UK customers subsidize the US business (Fees are lower for US customers than UK ones on comparable funds) They aren't the cheapest anymore in almost every category, but their brand recognition has exploded here

Simple solution is to not invest in funds that track NASDAQ indices. There are plenty of other funds out there that track other indices from other providers.

Putting solutions in to production. Not "things". Honestly I'm sick of dogshit companies wanting something done yesterday but are happy to spend the next 2 years having engineers debug the consequences. I've just written

Baking bread also takes hours of waiting. I can have fresh bread anytime I want from a handful of nearby stores.

"HFT" means different things to different people. I've worked at places where ~5us was considered the fast path and tails were acceptable. In my current role it's less than a microsecond packet in, packet out (excluding

by nly 7mo ago
"Saturating your links" is rarely the goal in HFT. You want low deterministic latency with sharp tails. If all you care about is throughput then deep pipelines + lots of threads will get you there at the cost of latency.

The bandwidth delay product for a 10Gbps stream for a 300ms RTT theoretically only requires ~384MB One option is just to simply keep buffers small and fixed and disconnect blocked clients on write() after some timeout

Do you typically just compile with -fno-rtti -fno-exceptions -nostdlib ? Last time I did embedded work this was basically all that was required.

That doesn't sound like it would actually save me any time, or produce better results than just doing it myself.

I find this baffling tbh as I regularly ask Claude for basic components and they come out completely broken, wrong and buggy. The last: I asked for a quick TCP server in C++ that handled just a single client (disconnecting the existing clie

C++ has its own atomics, threads etc. And variable length array's work just fine in C++ in both clang and GCC. C++ also has it's own designated initializer like syntax.

That's a complete fantasy world where companies have twice the engineers they actually need instead of half.

What C features can you not realistically use from C++?

__attribute__((may_alias, packed)) right on the struct.

Yeah. Shame though because it gave you the option to control exactly when you hooked and didn't hook, which let stop and start debugging allocations based on arbitrary triggers. The global variable approach was very useful and pretty l
