Isn't Q the language, and Kx the company ? I have to use it at work, helping quants try to actually maintain production code rather than just vomit horrible one-time scripts they patch together in an endless stream of layers on top of

I don't think I get it. I do a lot of pandas in a bank so I recognize your dataframes for what they are, but what advantage do you have over python+pandas ? I hate Python (I'm a Java dev helping Quants), but it's that or KDB,

Dream, it'll be the birth year of some random new figure, a large event like the arrival of the aliens or the nuclear bombing of Taipei, anything else than the "UNIX" epoch. 8000 years you imagine, it's 4 times my langua

Dude the fact you and him even accept the concept of "the west" is a testament to relentless and constant propaganda. That there is a unified front of "mostly white people" all sharing american values, guns and private p

How do you do for contracts? Is there a prevailing version or both translations are prevailing ? Here in Hong Kong English supercedes if presents and next door in Shenzhen it's the opposite.

I was referring to my own post. That person trolls like I do. I wouldnt ask for respect, I wouldnt give him any: he's exacerbating drama rather than solving the problem with the CDC, simply by using emotions rather than rational propos

You re unironically calling "evil" a clearly stated, well defined, historically precedented, very human behaviour China put in place for the specific purpose, like it or not, to position the party before the country. It's not

Well I think the problem with colors is they mean nothing well defined. It could somehow oppose extrovert and introvert for instance while Im extrovert with my close teammates but introvert with the traders yelling every second on the floor

Well I mean, if people were like you said, we would have data and science, not rubbish and cultism like this book... Where is the frigging data ? Where is the scientific process ?? Don't choose a color personality and then exclude team

Well let's say you have a certain agenda as a government, to prioritize a risk/reward ratio over pure freedom, and decides that you can afford to make everyone unhappy but alive by maintaining very strict information control. Say

I don't know the guy but he looks very preoccupied with facebook drama, with inflammatory titles, and mounting scandal on top of a scandal. There are people who would rather see the liberal left burn alive than convince a few people no

by xwolfi 5y ago
Questions for the guy would be: - did the title had to be THAT inflammatory (did it have to say "JUNK", did it have to make the link to the CDC reaction to it rather than the main point) - was Facebook the right place to share suc

I really dont mind smoking bans in public places. I hate Japanese restaurant when everyone can smoke etc. But a full ban, which I hear people discussing in some countries (NZ I think) is just too hard: cigarets will remain legal in China an

Imagine you re a tv station with a license. I think you re ready to MURDER to keep some of these exclusive, must be their last easy butter these days. Last time I watched tv I did the whole vpn + american tv package thing and I just was app

I dont know if it's safer, but as a smoker, when I lived in a vaping friendly country and switched to it, I immediately noticed a vast improvement, and when I moved back to cigarets in my current vaping-banned jurisdiction it went back

Yeah but I live in China myself and I sort of see what he means lol. It's fine, it's fair game after all I m sure it s not easy being Chinese in Africa, but you cant deny there s a sort of lack of politeness in Chinese (the nation

Get a Huawei !! It's actually liberating: nothing Google made works on those, so you're forcefully put on a Google diet, it's not Apple, Huawei stuff are only really good if you'in China: you're stuck with F-Droid a

I think you missed the fact we were talking about neural network, not an animal brain self replicating and branching and competing with itself for billions of years until it becomes aware of itself. Give us the the same time.

Yeah but then you have to work with French people, which is a tradeoff I wouldnt do anymore, as a French myself :p

But then what s the point ? We re forced to work from home to avoid contaminating our colleagues but it s fine to crowd a coworking space ? Sounds very inefficient to me but I guess people like us are a minority. Gladly in my country we hav

Yes but why Ubuntu LTS, gmail is even better at it: you dont even need to learn what a package is and you can focus on breaking your back 16 hours a day to pay your credit card debts. You overestimate the time available to people and that&#

Yes, I know I do consider it: will this guy believe there's a right to raise or will he instead accept there's a duty to perform ? If you want a company where merit is rewarded but taking your time is accepted as long as you dont

It's impossibly detailed: it's fine now but will you track her first kiss, first boyfriend, first heartbreak at 15 too ? Just let it go, make her happy and loved but focus much more on your wife than your daughter: a divorce would

We were never close to this. You have to accept we need nurses, hairdressers and farmers and these people cant be expected to do the work required to maintain a critical email server on top of everything else they have to do. Look I heard i

I think you suffer from myopia. The 4th export target of the EU is... Switzerland. Do we need Switzerland ? No, the fact the UK is geographically close to the EU and has no choice to import from us, does not make it as important as China, 2
