I think you would still end up with races, they'd just move around. IEX's "speed bump" was just marketing and didn't really matter to actual HFTs. Plus, some of it is unavoidable if you don't have a single unif

"they are the more straightforward part to build" More straightforward, heh, sure. But still damnably complicated. Which just goes to show how much money and how much engineering talent is invested in this world that these things

I worked in HFT for a while. I find the whole space fascinating. I'm glad OP found similar thrills. "This aspect, the platform itself, seems to be often overlooked in most discussions. Many conversations revolve around strategies

See my reply to the other comment - I specifically refer to off-heap memory, not on-heap/GC-managed memory.

I'm here specifically referring to off-heap memory. I verified this by looking into the jvm with VisualVM. These are objects that aren't part of the normal java heap area and aren't part of garbage collection. The offheap can

Also, if you asked me to pick my poison: things get partially available / degraded for a long period of time, or there's a blip of full unavailability during a cutover, I'd pick the latter 9 times out of 10. I find people are

One thing that bothers me about Spring is how it manages to use so much off-heap. I used it initially for a small project (hobby-tier) and was shocked to find it was using 200-300MB of offheap (or something in that range). To where my poor

That was the prior research and hypothesis, which the article claims this new finding supercedes, moving it back an additional 1000 years. Also the new research doesn't claim that's when it started, it's just the earliest rec

"First is the reality that everyone targets Ubuntu first [...]" Imo this is changing. You're seeing it happen even in this thread.

What exactly are the implications of the trust, as opposed to him just remaining a direct shareholder and handing off the reigns? Did the trust let him get some liquidity out of his shares somehow? He's still on the board in both scena

I'm really looking forward to bookworm. Not for any particular reason, but just to have another fresh base (and see even more up-to-date packages start showing up in bookworm-backports). I'm a recent refugee from ubuntu LTS's

This is how, in-office, you get employees showing up at 6am to drink coffee and chat. It is also how, at home, you get employees to install a mouse-wiggling script and never close their laptop. Your problem is unproductive employees - the o

A worker leaving is not even remotely as impactful to a company as a worker being let go is to the worker and their family. It's absurd to even imply it's the case.

My read of this suggests that they're specifically looking for a link between "using NSS's" and the actual desired outcome of "people lose weight / are able to control it better". Does that sound right? Gi

Yeah, TIL Mexico is so pro-Labor. It's disgusting to see "we have to pay 6 months severance to chuck out someone who spent half a decade of their lives with us!" said unironically, even on this board.

What? This seems like a complete non-sequitur. How is VC investing in nascent companies - the primordial act of capital formation - comparable to tipping (or not) someone at a self-checkout?

I think human use of antibiotics, even when used frivolously like that, are less of a problem than agricultural use. Antibiotics-resistance is typically an expensive trait for bacteria to maintain, and without selective pressure, it'll

How do other industries do this? Is programming weird because you can just ask someone to prove they know how to use a hammer? And so other industries just have to hire based on work history and/or bias "culture fit" during

To everyone asking for more detail - don't bother. I don't mean to sound mean, OP, but if you have alpha ("several basic Buffett-style value strategies seem to beat the S&P 500 handily"), go start a prop shop and mak

Part of it specifically unique to software and is because companies are terrified of getting a bad name since it'll make hiring so much harder. Lots of companies have average tenures of 2-3 years so if you're not constantly hiring
