I'm replying again to you as I can't edit my previous reply. I forgot to mention that the iteration count in the linked site is set by default to only 200. That's the number of iterations of the formula (for the mandelbrot it

Usually programs hit the limits of float32 or float64. A float64 has a around a 10 to the minus 16 precision to play with (53 bit significand) so you can hit the zoom limit with little effort. There are various techniques to go further (obv

Can you name some, I'm curious. I assume you mean the actual trading software not just the UIs?

And even in non-crypto it's not only about who is the fastest.

Did you mean generals of array languages? I've only listened to the first 3 episodes so far and the Rob Pike episode[1] I mentioned. I have decades of experience in the popular programming languages and Lisp and some functional languag

My recent exposure to array programming languages came via a podcast called The Array Cast[1] Not affiliated, just recommending. The regular co-hosts appear to each be experienced with various array languages such as J, APL, etc. They don&#

My single feature that keeps me on Android is notifications. I want an unobtrusive visual only (I never want my phone to vibrate or make a noise unless my wife or kid is calling) indication that there's something needing my attention.

The joke is I have gigabit fibre (Sydney CBD), but it's $329/month for 1000/400.

I live in the Sydney Central Business District. 1 USD = 1.55 AUD. All other numbers below are Mbps. I pay 99 AUD per month for 250 down, 25 up. If I want 1000 down, 50 up, it's 149 AUD per month. If I want 1000 down, 400 up, it's

The maths doesn't check out. A 9 second quarter mile is an average of well under 1g. It is like lying on a bed except with less gravity than usual. Of course it's not linear, but it's very unlikely to be more than 2g at any t

98% of countries use kph for vehicle speeds, also 0-100kph is a very common benchmark. If it was 0-60 I might assume mph.

Correct, and I believe you can't even access the video if you the app can't phone home after a certain time. Also if you're in (or even visiting) some (most?) countries this feature doesn't work. You don't get any r

I don't know if it's like this at every company, but typically there are plenty of humans keeping a close eye on what's going on whenever the software is placing orders on an exchange. I suspect we can thank this incident in

Newcomers and new hires both simply mean new to a particular job. There could be a newcomer SRE with 15 years experience as an SRE. Juniors usually implies generally no experience with anything. For example, I wouldn't call someone a j

What would you use instead?

Fair enough and to each their own. I've been using computers since bitmapped fonts on 320x200 screens were the norm, and I've always been excited to upgrade resolution.

by shric 3y ago
I'd probably agree with the "useful" but I find higher resolution more aesthetically pleasing, especially text.

rm doesn't actually modify the file. It does an unlink which removes the link from the filename to the file. Essentially, a file can have 0 or more names linked to it. As long as a file has at least one name or at least one process wit

It might be neat if there was a top level domain that required no ads or paywalled content. i.e. anyone can register a domain, but if an ad or paywall is found on a site there's a warning -> suspension -> domain unregistered. Onl

Why is buying a house a prerequisite? Renting is perfectly reasonable. Billions of people happily have kids never being able to afford to buy a house.

CMake doesn't fetch your dependencies for you and ensure they're the version that your code is compatible with. I've cloned 5 year old C++ repos that use cmake and it's quite an effort to build them, mostly due to findin
