Flash crashes aren't an inherent part of HFT, they're generally caused by buggy software. Computer caused crashes have happened long before HFT became popular, and so for that matter have human caused crashes ("fat-finger crashes").

IMO. The main problem is that exchanges can't afford talented developers, they simply don't have the money to compete with the banks and hedge funds. Most exchanges have stop signals (i.e. a message they can broadcast that can stop computer trading, etc.) but often they fail to use them. Exchanges should be implementing algos to better detect abnormal behaviour (whether by human or computer) and prevent flash crashes before they happen.
I'm working on a Javascript SaaS Starter Kit. Every time I start a new SaaS app, there's mountains of boilerplate I have to write, and I always skip out on some of it to get to the business logic and regret it later.

I figured, if I'm doing that for myself every time, I can do it once more and do it RIGHT, and then sell that to others in the same boat.

> Now, read about Skunkworks - they were able to build the SR71 (without supercomputers) in less than half that time and for a fraction of the cost.

Not to mention the F-16 itself, which the F-35 was meant to replace:

1972: RFP for prototypes

1974: Maiden flight of the first prototype

1975: Production begins

1980: The aircraft officially enters service
The top 3 programming languages - JS, Python & Java - are all pretty uninspiring. It's all about history and ecosystem unfortunately.
How are you calculating the cost of medicare for all?
What you say is totally true. I still love using Rust for web and bet my projects on it, but is certainly the fact you will need to reimplement certain things.

In the other hand, having less features have help me in re-factor not just the code but how I do the whole thing, making more focused choices to be able to solve problems with less complexity.

Eventually the design you get (partially because the lack of support for things on Rust) is much better overall.

To make things more concrete: I use nearly 0 JS and no "single page apps", use tailwind and have reduced, a lot!, CSS designs issues, have more control in how mutate things, have less API surface, make better use of what PostgreSQL have, etc.
The problem with that article is that it focuses on parsing language in the context of similar words; genocide as a word was coined in 1944 with a focus on framing the Holocaust in the context of other historical attempts to wipe out a people.

It's explicitly important that genocide can't only be focused on murdering living people, because for the most part, you don't wipe out a race or group of people just by killing them.

Trying to scope genocide down to the simple act of murdering people is a bloody-minded case of exceptionalism that overlooks the ongoing attempts to commit genocide around the world by actively destroying cultures, their history, and severing the ties that future generations have to both of those.

It's also very easy to understand why folks have a hard time closing the gap; virtually every country in the world has some history of tribalism and violence that falls into the broad strokes of genocide, and several countries are still actively engaged in it; it's worth noting that taken in the context of Central and South American immigrants to the United States, a case could be made that the child separation policy is a genocidal act.

There is a reason why the definition of genocide in legal terms steps away from the dictionary definition of the word, and it's documented here -> https://www.un.org/en/genocideprevention/genocide.shtml

I would suggest that anyone that doesn't find each of the items of the formal definition of genocide from the U.N. listed below as horrifying as the first line, it's probably worthwhile to spend some time evaluating and learning about the impact policies and governments that have done this in recent history (post World War II) to understand why the scope of genocide can't be limited to murder.

Killing members of the group;
Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.
We will have a blog out tomorrow about how it compares to Redis - diving deep into the threading architectures of open-source Redis, commercial Redis, and RonDB.

At the very least, the author is conflating subpixel rendering and antialiasing in a way that shows a lack of understanding.

Subpixel rendering may have been part of the topic of the “degraded visual quality”, but that’s easily disabled if desired. (Whether you should disable it or not is another question.) And it still sounds like he’s talking about antialiasing rather than subpixel rendering.

Actually, this is now making me think of macOS’s glyph dilation. I suppose icon fonts will be degraded on most macOS devices (unless the user has turned off the misnamed “font smoothing” setting).

Then in this section you’re citing, well, SVG is certainly subject to antialiasing; no sharpness arguments will be won here. Subpixel rendering probably won’t apply (and I say only probably—the browser is at liberty to do subpixel rendering on everything if it wants to, and people have toyed with doing subpixel rendering of more vector graphics than just fonts—in fact, in theory you have less control of this rendering than you do of text, as there’s no CSS property for it, unlike with text), but subpixel rendering is all about making things sharper anyway, so again SVG “loses”, if anything. Remember also that icon fonts are more or less constrained to monochromacy, and that’s where subpixel rendering excels, at increasing the effective resolution in one axis.
Contested is the point. Contested by other jets, I'd say no. All other air forces with modern fighters are still using Gen 4 fighters at best. The true threat comes from anti-aircraft weapons. To the point developers of FCAS are worried about man-held missiles. These missiles can take down legacy as well as 5th gen fighters. That's also why saturation is a thing, overwhelming the enmy with numbers. At 100 mil a piece, that startegy might be a tad expensve with the F-35. Hence drones. Whether rones work or not has to be seen.

my bestguess is, that n a conventional conflict between industrilized states the air campaigns will be over after the first three major engangements or so. Because by then replacing the losses would ruin everyone.
It is not really my language, I am just a user. And Elm is already implemented using a compiler that translates Elm source code to HTML, CSS and JavaScript.
Interesting article, but they overlooked (or at least downplayed) what I think is the most important part of good coffee:

> They should be whole beans, sustainably farmed, and roasted within the past few weeks.

Roasted within the past few weeks? How about the past few hours? Seriously, if you haven't had coffee on the same day it was roasted, you don't know what you're missing. All the other variables of preparation method fall by the wayside in the face of the freshness of the roast.

Of course, roasting yourself is not really an option. Still, if you can find someplace that roasts their own on a regular basis, go for that. (For my part, I've been spoiled by the fact that almost every dry goods store where I live roasts their own, usually right in the shop...)
I only know NLP as an abbreviation of the pseudoscience of neuro-linguistic programming.

What does it mean in this context? Non-linear probability?
Which is funny, as a far as I know, the main reason for price difference in coffee is scarcity, not "quality". Although, as for most things, the crappy stuff is cheaper.
This stuff just blows my mind. I really want to get into Quantum Computers but I don't think I'll be able to wrap my mind around it. It's really amazing how much stuff we don't know in this universe.
Source control is fine in NoFlo's JSON graph format or DSL.
This has been tried so many times, and failed. I suspect that the reason is that it's just not a big deal to buy and have tools you use rarely. Compare that to the cost of owning a car, which includes insurance, maintenance, parking, and not to mention the actual purchase price. That makes car sharing much more valuable, like orders of magnitude more valuable.
I'm downloading all of Project Gutenberg and gonna run a markov chain text generator on it and see what works of genius it produces (inspired by the King James Programming post yesterday).

I think it'd be cool to have a site that lets people input sources and then it displays output from the generator. Need to do some more reading on markov models and see what improvements I can make to Barrucadu's code
I'm surprised you're so flagrantly suggesting the use of HN karma points as a reward for a contest.

If they have any value at all, it is in their use as a proxy for someone's contribution to the HN community (which is very much undermined by stunts like this).
> On my mac, applications are really directories with lots of stuff inside. Why insist on stuffing everything into a single file?

Actually, the executable is still a single file. The directory just contains things that would be shoved into /usr/share on Linux or into a DLL on Windows, such as the icon, metadata, any other assets (game levels, images, etc.) and runtime libraries.
After seeing the things people have done with software-rendered 2D canvas I'm convinced that once WebGL gives every web developer access to hardware-accelerated 2D/3D we're going to see an explosion of innovation on the Web to rival the one unleashed by XMLHttpRequest.
I'm quite sick of reddit, to be honest. Many people there take delight in taking snarky, content-free swipes at others' hard work.

Maybe that is fun when you're 16, but it gets old after you've aged some.

People should be reminded that this is exactly how the terrorists erode freedom. They don't have to kill us all or take us over to take our liberty. They can simply scare us into giving it away but the solution is as simple as not flinching to the terror and keep going forward.
Absolutely — you just open a high port on localhost and open the URL in a browser. I've used this technique before on consulting projects with great success.
If you're charming enough, it might work, but if you're charming enough, you probably don't need tricks like these.
Evan, I just noticed that your service seems to be running on Slicehost, not the AWS colo in Virginia. Is that correct? I got the opposite impression from your post, which seems to imply that Twilio is hosted on AWS, yet managed to weather the storm because of your design decisions.

They may not have the patents in the US. You generally apply for patents in a per country basis. It also could be a matter of time on getting a lawsuit ready in the US.
The same reason Apple filed in US instead of Korea?
The worst thing for any service provider is to delay the initial confirmation that yes, something seems to be going wrong.

"After one hour, Amazon's Health Dashboard was still pretending that everything was right."

There really is no negative side for someone as large as Amazon to immediately put up a quick notice that "we are receiving complaints about x-y-z and looking into it." I get pinged like crazy within minutes of one my client's servers slowing/going down - I can't imagine that Amazon doesn't know something is wrong within seconds. If it turns out that it wasn't AWS but something else (Level 3 pipe issues or Comcast DNS errors) then just clarify that later. Why make every single AWS customer panic for an hour fearing that the fault lies within their code/services?
We absolutely love AWS because of the pace of innovation
and scale that it has allowed us to accomplish. But after
today’s episode is over, we will have a big decision
to make.

We can spend cycles designing and building technical belts
and suspenders that will help us avoid a massive failure
like this in the future, or we can continue to rely on a
single huge partner and also continue our break-neck
pace of iteration and product development.

Some could make a case that "Improving Stability" is "Product Development".

When doing a speed benchmark,I consider the memory profile to be as relevant as the number of requests per second.
As an anecdote, the websites did seem to load slow for me. And as a previous commenter has added, I'm not sure a news hub is best suited as a SPA.
Would it not be hard to interleave the first frame of these videos given different starting times and angles (ignoring camera movement)? It should be easy if the videos have synchronized timestamps, but that might not always be the case.

I guess it depends what you want to test. I've not once done the task untog described, but if you sat me in front of an Internet-connected PC with an editor and browser, I'm pretty sure I could do it in ~30 minutes or so. I sure as hell could not do it on a whiteboard.

So. What kind of skills are you looking for? Someone who's memorized a limited set of knowledge and can slap it on a whiteboard on demand, or someone who can get shit done? Not that they're mutually exclusive or even uncorrelated, but why test for a poor proxy of what you want instead of exactly what you want?

The verb for searching the internet would have been Altavista had Altavista sounded like a verb:)
Except that technically competent people are alone in understanding how bad things are. Most people simply do not understand computers or the Internet well enough to really grok what these revelations mean. It is not just about the mechanisms by which the surveillance is occurring, but the extent to which is can happen (and the extent to which is likely is happening). Until most people understand the difference between policy and technology -- e.g. the difference between "privacy settings" and encryption -- "geeks" will be the only people who really understand these matters.
Wordpress is easy to install if you're already familiar with setting up a LAMP stack. A lot of people who just want to blog are not. It's easy to get running and install themes, but honestly it's almost a full-time job to keep it running right. You have to keep up with security updates and deal with confusing config options for custom domains. wp_config, Apache, and MySQL are not something you can use casually.

Also, performance is terrible unless you cache aggressively, which most people don't because it's a lot of work, even with W3. The nice thing about real hosted solutions is they can handle extra load if it happens.

I get why it's popular. The blogging interface is very good, but trying to setup/maintain a server makes me want to pull my hair out.
I would buy is(myVariable).text within a second. Why calling two functions?

>A MSFT share was worth about $35 dollars when Ballmer took over; it's worth about $35 now. The world moved on, and Microsoft didn't move with it.

Nonsense.

There was a 2 for 1 stock split in 2003. Also, MSFT paid no dividend in 2000. Since then the dividend has gone from $0 in 2004 to $0.23 per share this past quarter. That's real value created and returned to shareholders. There's more to a company than share price.

Ballmer was no Steve Jobs. But he was no Leo Apothekar either. He'll be remembered exactly as he should be; that is, barely remembered at all.
AKs were commonly carried for security reasons at the time, but the RPG was damning as insurgents. (I had a 9mm and an AK most of the time, and a bunch of suspiciously mortar tube like satellite dish stands in the back yard, which always scared me whenever helicopters flew over...)

The best mix may be a (hosted) dynamic editor that generates and deploys the static site. Have you considered this solution? It probably won't eliminate the need for a webmaster, but it should help reduce the requests for small changes while keeping the benefits of the static site.
Though there is an increase in certain pockets, there is no attitude change in the Indian government towards forest/wildlife conservation in aggregate (at all!), as evident by the deforestation activities on the outskirt of Sundarban.In fact as we speak two important areas are being bulldozed:

Mangarbani (South-West of Capital Delhi)

And

http://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Visakhapatnam/protest-pl...

This little increase in the population of tigers is almost just a facade for the actual mentality of Indian Government (Bureaucracy in particular) towards Environment which is often viewed as "Just a formality"

That sounds like a you problem. Also, you could say "the language" for the oh-so-many times(?) you apparently have to have to refer to it during a programming class.
This battle was lost decades ago. If you read computer science journal articles, what language are they typically written in? What language are your favorite programming keywords like "function", "for", "if", "else", etc.?
People regularly underestimate the damage of breathing in mold and fungus spores.
Yes, finally! I'm no puritan, but this name is really embarrassing to use and every time you mention it to someone for the first time you have to go "no, no, no! like 'Rooster' in French!". Long overdue!

It would be a shame to not use a French name though. I don't know about Chapon (it's a bit on the nose to have the new name be "Coq, but emasculated"). I vote for "Canard", which would also be sort-of funny in English.
It doesn't, really. Hibernation and even the levels of "sleep" mode have and still have issues in Windows. I have a brand new Dell Precision workstation that still can't properly come back from sleep mode every time.
This would be great in all honesty
I could have written almost this exact same comment. We've probably met on Bugzilla.

lived with a guy like that once.

Literally his wardrobe consisted of:

- 25 pairs of jeans, also on hangers

- one draw of underwear, one draw of socks (all neat as hell)

It was actually kinda scary how organised it was...
>Non-diet soda is almost as bad as cigarettes and we should tax the freaking hell out of it.

Actually diet soda (artificially sweetened and artificially flavoured carbonated water) is shown in studies to be unhealthy too:

"Although these observational data cannot establish causality, consumption of diet soda at least daily was associated with significantly greater risks of select incident metabolic syndrome components and type 2 diabetes." [http://care.diabetesjournals.org/content/32/4/688.abstract, "Diet Soda Intake and Risk of Incident Metabolic Syndrome and Type 2 Diabetes in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA)"]

and more recently has been fingered as a cause of increased obesity.

Google "diet soda obesity".
I have always thought that programming fame might be a ticket-punch that you get and then no one questions your abilities from then on. I guess it isn't so. Thanks to the OP for treading this road and reporting back.

Maybe this is also true for web-famous entrepreneurs? Anyone ever start a somewhat well-known company that folded and you had to go work for someone else? Did you still have to earn respect from scratch at the new company?

Now I think I understand what I've wanted isn't possible. There is no way to prove yourself once-and-for-all. The only solution is to solve the money problem once-and-for-all, and then you never have to bother with proving yourself at a new company again.
I was stunned to read that this guy wishes he were more famous, and that the purpose of said fame would be to get him out of coding interviews, especially after his first paragraph made it sound like he really was happy being nerdy.

Hacking a x0xb0x (did I spell that right?) sounds pretty cool. Only after googling around for a bit did I learn what Zed is 'famous' for, as he refers to it later in his essay. Only after reading the whole essay did I learn he thinks programmers are second class citizens.

This just seems silly to me; if you want to be famous, go do something that captures hearts and minds, (and have a good press team.) Or, get really rich, (and have a good press team.) Or, get a job in the media, (and have a good press team.)

To me, his essay reads like he wants respect, and thinks it will come with fame. I feel sad for him; this probably won't work for him, just like it doesn't work for anyone else.
It's a great idea, but it captures the Tab key completely.

That is, within the shell you can't switch through your browser tabs via Ctrl+Tab or Ctrl+Shift+Tab.

(Maybe this is the fault of Firefox. Why should it grant any web application the right to redefine essential browser navigation keystrokes?)
Or Steve Jobs.
This is the problem with ALL health insurance, national or not. Unless everyone starts paying for everything out of pocket, some will take more than their 'share'.

To make a larger point, the problems of others are your problems as well. If I never have kids, an education system isn't something I should be concerned with by this logic, yet I'd hate to live in a country without a public one.

After watching this segment, I immediately bought a 20" box fan, a 20x20 MERV 11 filter, and put one together.

It kicks the pants off of air purifiers twice the price and it moves a lot of air through. Best investment ever.

CBC was testing CADR, which is one metric among others, but an important one if you're looking to clean a room's air, fast.
Where does the moral line lie then? what's difference that makes 'just following orders' suddenly not apply?

In this specific case; where's the prosecutorial discretion? If it's coming down from on high, why aren't their names in this article?
