These people have just found a way to abuse the stupidity of HFT. IMHO, they have played along the rules and the SEC should ban HFT.

Please, stop mod me down ! In my work, I have to work with developers from many countries. Understanding cultural differences is very important when many nationalities are involved. There was nothing pejorative in this one.

Yes, all the articles of Knuth are always insightfull. The problem of the article about goto is not its content but how it has been used since its publication to hurt the whole profession. This article is more harmfull than the occasional p

Giant companies should buy most of their hardware to reduce cost and focus on their main activity. But they should also build a small percentage of their hardware themselves to have the freedom to ditch away a supplier. This is also importa
