Yeah, why? Maybe because HFT actually do provide a service valuable to retail.

OK, I've done that. It's pretty crazy that the app takes up 40MB just to add an icon to my apps menu.

You can access it without voice, by opening Assistant (long-press Home, double-press Power, etc.) and then typing "Lens" into the search box. Ridiculously, there's no way that I can see to get an app shortcut icon to it.

More time spent on roads does not mean more economic activity occurs. Time spent in traffic is unproductive. Also, land used for roads cannot be used for other economic activities.

More frequent service on the subway doesn't require vast amounts of land to be removed from productive activity. At most it might require a small expansion of stabling facilities for extra carriages and engines. Induced demand means th

The article says that "dreams are primarily visual". That might be true for most people (and for the researchers), but I'm aphantasic and I don't think I've ever had a visual dream. My visual cortex seems to work pe

Everyone dies eventually. So a premature death means months or years of life lost, which can be compared against months or years of less full life due to hardship.

If you're driving along a road with parked cars, you slow to a speed where if someone (say a 4 year old child) jumps out you can stop within your reaction time. Anything else is dangerously reckless.

My understanding (not living there) is that in the US, Apple have a dominant position in group chat via their proprietary embrace-extend-extinguish version of SMS. In my experience, it's relatively straightforward to get people to swit

Money spent on political advertising absolutely comes out of your pocket. The process is: politicians levy taxes and excise, divert the revenue to linked entities, pay Facebook out of the proceeds. Or they extract money from companies und

That's impossible in the general case, since it's trivially equivalent to the halting problem (take the UB-detecting compiler, have it perform UB iff the program has no UB, run it on its own source code). What we can do is a combi

Given that plenty of people give their home address and keys to a cleaner (domestic maid service), I really don't think that argument is going to get you anywhere.

"printf" isn't magical, it's a standard va_args function. There's plenty of ugliness in the implementation [1] (so many macros!) but that's to be expected from something that has to simultaneously parse a forma

Surface of a sphere depends on how large the fence is compared to the sphere. If the fence is small, the answer is the same as the plane version. If the fence is as large as possible (an equator) then the rope needs to be precisely one quad

For the amount of petroleum products used in pharmaceuticals, they can easily be replaced by synthesis from bio-derived precursors. There's nothing special about hydrocarbons from oil.

Rather than storing the offset within the struct, you could store a type-erased pointer to data member: struct M { std::byte M::*p; std::size_t l; template<class C, class T> M(T C::*e) : p{reinter

Or a more sinister reason: canonically, magic is powered by sacrifice - and most powerfully, human sacrifice. Sure, Tolkien skips over the child-snatchers, the sacrificial altars, the charnel-pits behind the Valar-temples, but we well know

Perhaps it could be provided by a vDSO, that would then decide if and when to call into the kernel proper.

Those investors are less screwed than if they'd bought in at higher valuations because of a lack of any downward pressure. It might be bad in the short term for the economy of the local area, but the malls were going to collapse sooner

Short selling is not speculation if you have hard evidence that securities are overvalued and are working to bring it to light. There is risk involved, of course, but the risk is that the perpetrators and their accomplices will be able to p

It isn't sudo that's expanding the alias, it's your shell. In other words, your shell is expanding sudo mv to sudo mv -i before sudo is involved.

Isolating a core: isolcpus and taskset, or possibly cgroups, plus nohz and there's a patch set that offers even stronger isolation guarantees (keeping kernel threads off the core). Hardware mappings are done as a ring buffer in memory

Accessing other hardware isn't latency-sensitive, though; that's usually disk and the internal network, for logging, telemetry and control. Typically a trading application will keep a thread running on the shared core and send mes

I don't know about java, but when using c++ you can use the OS to start the program, set up the hardware mappings and then move it to an isolated core where you talk to the hardware directly without ever issuing a system call. Compiler

A mile is 1500-2500 steps, depending on your stride length, so that would be at least 10 miles.

You're completely missing the point that you put CO2 into the ground, not unoxidized carbon. So you're ahead by the enthalphy content of those carbon-oxygen bonds. Obviously you need some energy to concentrate the CO2 out of a w

Actually it's more likely than not that your vendor already offers those guarantees as a compiler mode. In clang and gcc it's the sanitizers (ubsan, asan, tsan and msan) while in MSVC it's RTC and SDL. These build modes catch

Isn't it insurance fraud to fail to report a pre-existing condition anyway? Are you suggesting that people engage in fraud?
