Sure, because these numbers are guaranteed to be 100% accurate and no one would have any interest in under-counting them.

Responding to myself, but I also think a "why did I lose?" / "where did I first go wrong?" variation would be super popular with people.

Amazing, incredible idea. Run with it for a bit. Setup a hosted, super easy to use version, that's billed ultimately at cost plus but in an easy to understand way (maybe # of games, that sort of thing).

This might be helpful for some context: "Affecting approximately 2 to 5 percent of the population, hypochondria has no specific cause, but is often found in people who have had previous experience with a serious illness, especially in

Right, stocks [which are just proxies for companies] are completely random because of <random bs paper from E. Fama from 51 years ago>. Because, of course, how would it ever be possible to predict how a company might perform? That mus

The tone of the responses here is absurd. Guys, be grateful for some progress. Instead of having to retype boilerplate code, your productivity is now enhanced by having a system that can do it for you. This is primarily about reducing the n

Sure, let's transform everything into an endless abyss of "this is now deprecated" popup/console warnings. Just like we did with cookie popups. So we have more browsers that all support different things and partially sup

Seems like they could have made some different design decisions to make the input a lot more readable. Also IMHO code generation should be a last-resort anti-pattern; after all that's what you (the programmer with a brain) are for.

What are you trying to trade that has a bid of (near) $0 and ask of $5? Most stocks are generally way more liquid. Also you'll find you can get hit at/near the midpoint even when the bid/ask spread is large. (Which makes sens
