I bought a 13” mpb this year and the keyboard is fine, though I don’t use it much. Biggest mistake was buying the “higher end” 2.4ghz model that’s actually performing the same as the much cheaper 1.4ghz model.

I find it hard to believe there’s any day trader using any kind of information making a consistent profit. Isn’t everybody just dabbling around hoping to be in the 50% that outperform by chance? i’ve read about ed thorp pioneering statistic

for this is be a valid argument, the sample mean has to be good estimator for the "true" mean, which is the case only for thin-tailed random variables. unfortunately, violence in humans is verifiably fat-tailed (short bursts of vi

I didn't see it mentioned in the docs, but I assume the idea is to compile the rust core to webassembly to make this web-compatible?
