I work at a bank and we currently (but for how long??) use Symphony which is "Slack but for finance" https://symphony.com/ It's way better than teams in core features, although integrations are missing, and i

Actually it could be! If you read GPL code and remember it well, then write a near exact copy of it into your proprietary software project, that's a violation of the GPL.

Quantum chemistry isn't magic, it's been around since the sixties, we understand pretty well the resources required for calculations. I happen to have a PhD in it too. AFAIK on quantum computers there are only two algorithms that

Drug molecules are much too large for near term QC, let alone the interaction of two of them in a solvent. We're talking thousands of qubits and circuits millions of operations deep.

To start, we'll neglect the bosonic degrees of freedom (the displacement of the atoms themselves) and look at only the fermionic DoF (the electrons). Water has 8 electrons (which QC can treat exactly without any extra work) in a number

100% true. I did a small stint at a mid tier bank and this is exactly how it went. You try to advocate for better methods and you constantly hit inertia and a deep institutional belief in years of service. "You use git? Interesting but

Not only is it clickbait, the author is founder and CEO of a technical recruiting company. Clearly the article is written to generate leads for Facet. This is basically just astroturfing. The author should have opened with a conflict of int

No you are correct. There is at this point like 40 years of quantum chaos research. I dipped my toes into it a bit in grad school. In the eighties it was believed that chaos might be the key to understanding the quantum-classical transition

What is not linear about QFT is the perturbation theory that is used to predict interactions. The underlying Hamiltonians with interactions included are themselves perfectly linear (but very complicated).

I've also used Perl for small utility programs (basically as a "enhanced" shell script). The problem with Docker or virtualenvs is that they greatly increase the installation complexity of your script. For example, two years

Isn't the issue that in the US you only have a binary choice between jury or plea deal? I'm Canadian and here most trials are bench trials, that is in front of a judge only https://www.justice.gc.ca/eng/csj-sj

"As of right now I don’t know what the answer is and wouldn’t want to hazard a guess, though I will say that $0.91 is much closer to $1 than it is to $0." I think what the UST situation is showing is that for a stablecoin 0.90$ is

It seems to me that if you are using NFTs to maintain ownership of property you are essentially inventing a kind of bearer share, which in most of the world isn't legal for anti-money laundering policy reasons. How do you stop someone

A lot of it is wash trading though and a lot of the market cap is paper gains too. I still think it should be regulated and we would be better without the crypto market, but I doubt a crypto crash would have much of an impact on the economy

Those are all possible but they would have hurt the US financial dominance on the world stage. A lot of those decisions are ultimately based on imperial goals, not on the wellbeing of the citizenry (in the near term anyway, I'm pretty

Similarly, the article doesn't take into account the fact that many developers work on in-house software and developer tooling that are not directly sold to anyone. Custom in-house development follows much the same principle as B2B pro

I've never worked on a project with a large remote ccache but I would guess it would be pretty much the same yes. The "automation" of our in-house system is what really makes the difference but then again we have a team of de

At my work we have such a system for our monorepo. Basically for each compilation unit (basically subdirectories), it takes the compilation inputs and flags etc and checks them against a remote cache. If it matches, it just pulls the result

"Standard" Scala (i.e. without the fancy monadic libraries like cats or zio) and Rust are both mixed paradigm languages with good support for many FP constructs. In practice you can write imperative code using either of them but t

Even English doesn't fit in ASCII! English is often used as the justification for ASCII—by technical types anyway. To use “only plain ASCII text” would mean constraining oneself (no dashes or paired quotation marks, for example). Many

Same, it seems to me that the article is based on the idea that val app = new AppClass(new MockServer) assert(...) is bad but val app = new AppClass(Server.createMock()) assert(...) is good. I for one see no differ

The author only used rot13 to make a point about the failure mode of inspection. DPI is only there to stop everyday employees from bypassing security policies inadvertently, not to stop an actual attacker. An attacker could use any number o

While I agree that people generally think of version control (and git) in terms of diff and patch, I think it's important to note that git itself doesn't have diff and patches. The fact that git doesn't have diffs is one of i

This kind of work has always made me chuckle, because it's effectively pitting together two "when you have a hammer" kind in of hype against eachother: Deep Learning and Quantum Computing. If deep learning can solve quantum s
