It would be nice to understand what you're trying to find here. What are the constraints? Do I have to start and end with a neutral position? Am I allowed to short; i.e. do I have to buy before I sell? What are the limits on liquidity?

Futhark looks very cool. I generally don't buy into programming dogma, but I'm a big fan of data-oriented design these days; on top of efficiency gains, I find thinking in terms of data transforms and flows very intuitive. Plus, i

I don't see why clever video post-processing couldn't help with this. Why do you say hell will freeze over? This seems like a much easier solution for them than to increase bitrates and thus, bandwidth

Yeah, nobody's suggesting having the rapid ticking occur continuously. I have no idea where you got that from

Can someone in the know tell me whether this should be ignored like most nutritional research?

Out of curiosity, what can GCC's backend generate that LLVM can't?

If you ask most workers if their jobs are vulnerable to automation, they will say no

It's also well-known that pandas is memory-inefficient and Dask would probably do the memory estimation they described for them (after the author dismissed it). They're really just showing they don't really understand these t

It's really not. The 30 might have something in common, which calls any findings that exclude them into question. This doesn't rely on any unreasonable assumptions

Somewhat in the spirit of that xkcd issue, may I commend you for adapting your opinions in the face of new evidence. It's a great quality to have

Agreed; for a successful company, sometimes you want controls to provide stability that will keep the engine running, even if it's frustrating to work in that sort of environment

Middle management is the lowest hanging fruit when looking for redundancies; the article also mentioned this: "Sometimes there are areas to make progress [where] you have three people making decisions, understanding that and bringing i

Isn't the big tech employment trade-off for most people that you have relative stability and little is demanded of you, but in exchange, you have to deal with red tape and won't work on anything important, creatively fulfilling or

The real issue here is that memcmp has a horrible interface that only C programmers would find acceptable. The author seems to understand this to some extent. > Or maybe I should stop using pure C... Yes, you should.

I think it's fairly well understood at this point that a big reason for Python's slow performance is the desire to keep the interpreter simple so that people can more easily contribute to it. I'd add that this has evidently b

Yeah, I feel really bad for what Shelley Duvall went through, Kubrick was a maniac by the sounds of it. The Shining is a masterpiece all the same though

Like most situations, I think it's more helpful to take a systematic view here. Simplified, more workers are hired than needed and they are expected to pretend to work 40 hours and managers are incentivised to keep that going for their

I think the key is that macs are optimised for this workflow. As someone who uses the terminal a lot, I often find it difficult to get the information I want from any GUI, compared to piping terminal output through different utilities. Afte

Perhaps Temple OS shouldn't be evaluated by ordinary software standards. It is more or less useless as a general purpose operating system. It may have value in education, but in my opinion, it should be treated as an artwork when asses

You're thinking of the inverse square law the wrong way. What it means is that at a distance, d, the power from the source is distributed over an area proportional to d^2. Hence, if you double distance, your power is distributed over a
