The HQLA assets in LCR calculation are priced at "fair value" (see your footnote 1 for example) which is the present market value. The haircut is not there to account for mark-to-market losses but for potential losses due to lower

If your PGO program ends up in a situation which is the opposite of that you profiled, couldn't you end up with vastly worse performance than a non-optimized program? I've always felt uncomfortable about PGO for more complex progr

Which actually does make a difference for JARs because the bytecode is portable and modifiable, not trivially so but definitely way more easily than native code.

Because, for example, your application is not tied to the JVM? You are uncomfortable using closed source software for such a critical piece of infra? As far as I can tell they don't even have a searchable bug report database! I'd

What really rebooted my photography is buying a high quality (well not even all that high, a used Pixma Pro 200) photo printer. There is something special about holding pictures printed on quality paper. They make great gifts (well if they

Yeah, having a 3k$ carbon bike or a 1k$ aluminum model doesn't make a difference that's true. However, having good cycling clothes is way more comfortable, as is a lightweight helmet. A more upright bicycle absolutely robs you of

Centipedes are very common in Toronto basement apartments. They look absolutely ghastly and their bite is somewhat painful and itchy, but yeah they are ravenous and great at controlling other insects. If you get way too many of them though.

I only lived in a mice infested apartment and as gross as it was, at least mice are easy to see, satisfying to kill and don't follow you anywhere or lay eggs. We only found the nest when moving out though.

Exactly. Also both Unity and Unreal Engine have GCs and that hasn't stopped them from being used in most games. If anything, games can afford GC more than many other applications, because it's expected of a game that it will consu

It does! But the only way this makes sense is if you treat the expense required to build it as a capital expenditure, which was my point.

One of the goal of this kind of accounting is to make "building the thing" and "buying the thing" as closely equivalent as possible for tax purposes. If you treat all the salaries as expenses then * Company A has 1M in c

Well no, you have a 1.2M profit, and decided to reinvest 1M into R&D to produce a software asset. It's bad that the tax treatment changes suddenly because businesses need stability, but the change itself is perfectly rational.

They are not NP at all. A perfect maze (with one solution) as a connectivity graph is a tree. Finding the path through a tree can be done by DFS in linear O(N) time.

In your case there are technically two paths through the maze (straight through and going through the loop).

AFAIK this would also work with an incompressible fluid like water if you started the maze fully filled than add a sink at the exit and a source at the entrance. You wouldn't have any bubbles in that case and the current would flow alo
