I think what he's getting at is that whatever program is reading the text must be prepared to read UTF-8 and not just ASCII. Sure, the underlying data is the same, but the data type is not the same; analogously, a byte with the decimal value of 65 might be the number 65 if cast as an integer, but might be the character 'A' if cast as a char.

I'm sure the author didn't realize this, but "confidence" actually has a very precise definition in the context of machine learning, and many types of models produce confidence scores as part of their predictions.
I adore George Carlin but he's not an especially good source for market microstructure.

You seem to be under the impression "safety" is defined by per capita murder rates. Which, as you frequently point out, is 3.

3.

This isn't going anywhere, right? Let's just wrap it up.
@JonnieCache covers a lot of points about the oscillators. It's not just that Serum offers a wavetable lookup oscillator, but one that can scan through a wavetable in realtime, "Warp" the sound in various way (including FM, PWM, hard sync, stretching) without aliasing. Then there's also the tools to draw, mathematically generate or import your own wave files, and make wavetables blending between them (from simple crossfading to FFT blending, etc)

There's a ton of filters, I'm sure you could find the basic LP/BP/HP filters, but I know some of the moog-style filters have to be licensed. There's also filter options that aren't typically considered "filters" (flange, allpass with multiple stages, a weird reverb-esque one), and a few filters that are just Duda's own experiments (I think he said the French LP model was just him playing around with the math).

Then you'd also have to reimplement the FX section, which Serum also provides as a standalone plugin that you can place after other audio sources.

Still though, the GUI is a huge benefit of Serum, which makes editing waveforms, envelope curves, LFO shapes, and modulation routing really easy. Almost anything can be routed to almost anything else, as well as several macro controls, which makes it a great live instrument too.
Yeah it's almost as dumb as dancing around, waving a plastic stick. Oh wait.

Much of the value of the MBA is the network. I would even go as far as to say most of the value of the MBA is the network.

If the network from your MBA program abroad isn't that strong in the industry that you work in or in your geography, you'll get minimal value out of it. If the network from your MBA program is not in senior (or more senior positions than you are), you'll get minimal value. This is why there is a pareto distribution between the top programs and the other tiers of programs.

There are plenty of foreign MBA programs that have robust networks in the US. Take a look at the Global MBA list. http://rankings.ft.com/exportranking/global-mba-ranking-2015...

Within the top 15 globally: Insead (worldwide), Iese (Spain), Ceibs (China), HKUST (China), HEC (France).

Although not in the top 15, IIT has a robust network in the tech industry.

Are you talking about how, when someone is limited to ASCII, he makes substitutions he wouldn't make if he were using Unicode? Such as using :-) instead of U+263A?

Or are you maybe talking at a software level, where you can make some simplifications and assumptions about a string when it is guaranteed to be ASCII?

Because otherwise I can't see how there could be any semantic or meaningful difference between ASCII and Unicode when the text is the same. An ASCII 'a' has exactly the same meaning as a Unicode 'Latin Small Letter A'.
...or you could have a couple friends come over and check it on your own. The difference is not subtle.
Thanks for the reference as I've not tried that. Unfortunately, that project just failed to install for me, but I put in a bug report for the maintainer.

Ideally, there'd be an official Windows port and installer that doesn't depend on Cygwin. Certainly that takes time and effort to develop and maintain, so it's nice to see projects like this in the interim.
This is easily the best option, barring how painful it is to write a setup.py.
Mate, it's a billboard.

I'm happy for you that speech is legislated so carefully in Europe, if that's something you value. What's the point you're making? Should I bring up how nice it must feel to be a muslim in Serbia in the 90s? Of course not.

Safety and freedom are relative terms.
In the past, either the buyer and seller had to wait longer to find a mutually acceptable price, or pay a lot more than $0.10/share. HFT is actually an improvement for both sides, because they can either 1) buy/sell faster or 2) pay lower transaction costs (and probably both!).
> Can someone explain the initial goroutine leak that is being addressed?

The "for score := range g.scores {" loop runs forever, since nothing ever closes the g.scores channel. I.e., the "range" only terminates when the channel is explicitly closed. Even if there are no current senders on the channel, and even if nobody else holds a reference to the channel (and thus nobody else could potentially create a new sender and start sending on that channel), Go doesn't realize it (garbage collection doesn't help here). The "range" waits forever.

Thus, all goroutines that run this code (via calls to NewGame(), via "go g.run()") will run forever, and leak, as long as something else in the program is running. When the rest of the program is done, Go will correctly detect that all these leaked goroutines are blocked and thus it's a deadlock, leading Go to panic ("no goroutines can proceed") and terminate.
Understood. Small point: I wasn't discussing browsers (nor was the article).
Even people who support quantized markets don't propose markets running on human timescales.

Meanwhile, if you're the kind of trader that is impacted by trade latency (read: a competitive market maker or decently well capitalized prop trading firm), there are already venues you can trade in that are quantized. The problem is that nobody wants to trade in them.
I think we already have discussions on commits in GitLab. We used to have discussions on repo's (the wall) but this wasn't used much. I agree with the hyperlinking, if I mention an issue in the chat the issue should get a backlink to the chat archive.
Can we realistically expect widespread browser support of web components by the second half of 2017?
I don't see the point of shoehorning technical concepts onto managerial problems. All it's doing is confusing the point. It's like the author just learned about the concept and now wants to re-imagine everything in terms of that concept.
Google should open a stock exchange.

Sure, they'd be weary of the immense regulation involved. But I imagine they're much more qualified to build a fair, fast and accurate trading system than any of the existing exchanges are.

Hammers make poor screw drivers. Mutexes, atomic integer operations, and channels (buffered and unbuffered) all have their place. You will think any of these is "badly implemented" if you choose the wrong tool for the job.
Revolving door?
Market data is not non-public definition. NYSE was simply slow in aggregating market data during times of high volume.

This did not affect you as a retail investor, as you get the NBBO price. This only affected you if you were an HFT firm with bad infrastructure who depended on the aggregate feed and not their direct line.

Like tptacek said, the price for getting a direct line, while expensive, is not unreasonable for a business. The largest cost will be salaries for the people writing your code and maintaining your infrastructure.

>voluntarily (i.e. seeing a therapist) or by some sort of court mandate (if a person accused of a crime displays signs of mental illness

So what you are saying is that if I voluntarily seek a therapist, I could end up committed, but if I don't, then I have to have done something bad enough for me to be in front of the judge first. And people wonder why we have such issues with our mental health care system.

(Not that I've done anything that would get me committed, but say I was feeling depressed or something... why would I risk it?)
No, someone is probably confusing this with something that would be related to derivative works.

Unless perhaps the software ships with audio samples that are granted royalty-free usage to anyone who has a legit license to the software package? Extremely unlikely, just trying to imagine why someone would think this.
I assume you can tell if he's bought it or someone at his company has? So when he buys it today, you'd be able to tell?

I was prescribed Xanax, for anxiety attacks. The doctor verbally said to take it as needed, but did not warn of addictive potential.

The bottle however, states to take 2x daily, no warning about addiction.

Luckily, I am educated and intelligent, so I avoid taking it unless absolutely necessary, and now go months without needing it.

I have friends who were not so lucky - they interpreted "as needed" as to mean "as the bottle says if I feel any tinge of axiety". They got addicted and at best, had to go through expensive rehab programs. At worst, they succumbed to depression and died from it.

Please, do tell more me how a PhD student who follows their doctor's instructions, assuming they are a fellow expert, should be judged as having a moral failure.
Got it in one. Another example: http://betterembsw.blogspot.com/2014/06/avoid-high-cyclomati... Keep in mind that these sorts of practices are often used in serious-minded projects where development is intentional and the people doing the work are reflective on the process.

Anslinger was one of the most serious bureaucratic prohibitionists, immediately after its repeal was appointed to commission the agency associated with drug prohibition, did a 180 on all of his positions on Marijuana, and doctored scientific evidence to push for a new enforcement target, since he was given a large powerful agency with very little to do. Without a witch to hunt the witch hunter fades from relevance, so he manufactured one, and that's why we are where we are today.

Ask HN: Can “as a service” obviate Disaster Recovery for its failure modes?
Take DBaaS for example. A failing DBaaS categorically cannot, in my opinion, be the source of D/R for itself. I should be able to backup my data outside the wire so to speak if I want provide Disaster Recovery for my own clients. Could be NoSQL. Could be SQL. Could be BeyondSQL.

I'm interested in a counterpoint of my position that D/R is categorically "outside" the capability of a single "as a service". It's not that the service can't provide for minor to medium failure modes. It's that I may need to rollback to a data snapshot from last week on a completely different DBaaS provider when the DBaaS provider goes offline for longer than is tolerable.

SLAs are great, but do they pay me back what I lost in brand trust?
I think so. At this point all browsers are on board with shipping Custom Elements and Shadow DOM and Template has already shipped everywhere. The holdout is HTML Imports and the Chrome team is currently working on a revision to that spec to build it on top of the ES2015 module loader so it's not contentious (https://github.com/w3c/webcomponents/blob/gh-pages/proposals...). But HTML Imports is not a requirement for Web Components, the big win is Custom Elements, so seeing everyone get on board with that is awesome :)
People who stand to benefit directly from High Frequency Trading will tell you it has benefits.

Everyone else will tell you it doesn't. Given the choice, someone buying stocks directly would not choose to buy them from an exchange that allows high frequency trading. People will also dispute that, but you have to ask yourself, if HFT is so good for everyone, who is all their money coming from?

How is your comment 24 minutes old and you haven't done it yourself? ;)
That's true, but it's true of a lot of other things (for instance: huge fractions of all the devs working at Google and Facebook). Meanwhile, trading tech is (IMO) much more fun to work on than a lot of the work Googlers do, lucrative, and not concentrated in the Bay Area.

I'd rather we found a way to get everyone to work on drug discovery and civic engagement, but unfortunately, we don't generally put regulatory brakes on technologies simply because they attract developers that would otherwise be working on our pet issues.

new order types that allow firms to sweep liquidity at one exchange only( ie not rout-able orders)

You say that like it's a bad thing. My understanding is that an "intermarket sweep order"[1] (aka ISO) is essential to the proper functioning of the market. Otherwise, here's what used to happen all the time:

- the "true" market for XYZ is $10.00 bid, $10.01 offer. (Let's ignore the mantra of relativity that "simultaneity does not exist").

- in this case lets assume NASDAQ prices currently reflect that "true" market, and prices disseminated by NYSE are stale.

- a buy order arrives at NASDAQ, willing to buy at $10.01

- NYSE is supplying stale data, claims it has stock for sale at $10.00

- without ISO, NASDAQ can't allow the transaction to occur at $10.01, but is obligated to respect the stale data it is receiving from NYSE. NASDAQ must reject the order, or route it to NYSE.

- SUCKERS! the NYSE quote was stale, but the order was not transacted on NASDAQ. And, there is no longer any stock for sale at $10.00 at NYSE, so it won't be filled there either!

Here's an article that claims that ISOs are a form of protection against high frequency traders:[2]

Brokers that don’t use ISOs in fast market
conditions disadvantage their clients and
subsidize the profits of HFTs

That article was from 2012, but does illustrate the problem that ISOs were attempting to solve. It's not a panacea, because as the article points out, HFTs are also free to use ISOs for their own purposes.

I think you are exactly right on equity and expose a problem of startups and recruiting that borders on disingenuous at the very least. VCs fund multiple startups expecting many to fail. As I’ve seen first hand, a prototype can land a million dollar convertible note at a $10m cap. For the founders to then turn around and act like 1 percent of the stock is really worth $100k isn’t even close to reality. To account for realistic exits you probably need to cut that by 1/3. So to match a big company offer of $100k salary and $100k equity (of liquid stock), you need to match the salary and offer 3x equity for the compensation to be about equal.

Yet most startups won’t match salary and then try to pretend that their equity is worth way more than it is. “We’ll pay you $70k but give you $150k in equity so the comp is more!” When the reality is the comp is actually significantly less if equity is more fairly valued. In this fictitious example, the $220k offered comp is really more like $130k, so about a 30% pay cut from the $200k offered by the big co. Startup equity isn’t worthless, but it needs to be valued at a significant discount which varies by the stage.

Thanks for the response. Emailing the mods might get the title changed.

For a lot of products, who cares how it is built? For security related products, the slightly counter-intuitive idea of greater openness seems to be a potential marketing advantage...and as it slides toward peer review perhaps a technical one.

Hiding the technical sausage factory from the call to action and the install and operation is a good thing. But clearly it is an important part of who your company is and expressing it, as here, may be as important over the long term as the non-technical. I mean anyone who understands "VPN" enough to want one and select one, is going to be at least a little technical.
It's not quite that black and white. But here's what I will say:

1) A self funded MBA from a 3rd tier school is rarely a positive NPV transaction, especially when you view the opportunity cost. (A lot of hours that could be spent doing something else productive)

2) There is an enormous gap between the outcomes of top schools and everyone else.

3) There are very good schools outside the US and UK (Insead in France and Singapore, Rotterdam in the NL) but in general the further you go from the US, the less value from the MBA.

Am I saying that nobody ever should attend a foreign school? Absolutely not. But similar to law school, most MBA programs are very overvalued and overpriced.

> Of course, the suggested fix is to update to a newer version of systemd.

That's actually a boilerplate Debian bug closure message, mail-merged with the bug number, the maintainer's contact information, and the package's changelog. One can find it at the bottom of many Debian bug logs. The suggestion really comes from Debian.

Moreover, the bug was in the "unstable" version of Debian, i.e. a version of the package (229-1) that had not even progressed to the "testing" version of Debian (which is currently at systemd version 228). Debian's policy on bugs in "unstable" can be read on Debian's WWW site at https://wiki.debian.org/DebianUnstable and https://www.debian.org/releases/sid/ .

The Debian message is, as mentioned, simply robotic Debian bug-tracking-system boilerplate. The underlying systemd bug reports have stuff written by actual human beings:

Most fields have the potential to cause humanity to suffer if we look far enough into the future and look at what might be possible rather than what is likely. GMO research could possibly create superpredators that eat humans, neuroscience could possibly create superorganisms that consists of linking multiple human (or non-human) brains, a futuristic near-light speed spaceship could be devastating to the earth if it ever accidentally hit it, etc.

These only exist in the realm of Science Fiction at the moment, but the same is true for doomsday AI.

What would be more "fair" or "fast" or "accurate" about Google's exchange? I've gotten to do software pentests of several huge exchanges. They work pretty much the way you'd expect them to. A lot of things people are just starting to do in web software (message-mediated microservices) were idiomatic in finance in the 1990s.
Maybe. On the other hand, I suspect that, precisely because he is a popular (at least by genre standards) author, he probably also gets some benefit from the publisher in terms of sales, promotion, etc. I've heard from a number of sources that one of the issues with going to a traditional publisher for a new author today is that you have all the publisher overhead while not getting much of an advance or much in the way of marketing and promotional support.

But I don't know how the relative economics work for an established author like Charlie. Empirically, most known authors seem content to stay with publishers so I'm guessing it makes economic sense for them. But I don't really know.
