Trading and Exchanges is recommended everywhere and I'm about a third of the way through it. Chollida is absolutely right when he says that any individual running strategies that are microstructure related is going to get robbed (the hardware, baseline software, and colo requirements are all massive). That said it's an interesting read and if you're willing to accept that the productivity per page for the immediate future is low it's enjoyable.

Quantopian is the easy way to get into algo trading if you want to attempt to make money doing it solo. They seem pretty focused on long-short strategies (rank all stocks, buy top x, short bottom x) from what I've been reading but I don't know enough other kinds of strategies to know if they're more optimized for that. They have some really good videos and iPython notebooks on intro concepts including basic trading strategies as well as relevant statistical math.

* I've never done algo trading professionally so this is a mix of "I read it online" and "my friend who works in it told me"

ARM and modern x64 have pretty rigorously-defined calling conventions, yeah. x86, on the other hand, has six or seven different ones, and it was up to you as a C programmer to choose which one to use for each given function, by sticking e.g. a __stdcall or a __fastcall in your typespec.

Whilst maybe not strictly accurate, I've always strongly associated Fitt's Law with two things that OSX gets tragically wrong. I really cannot fathom why these bugs (they are, undoubtedly bugs, unless anyone can argue otherwise) persist.

1. Menu items. Pull down the main menu on OSX, and find a menu with a separator - a line between groups of related actions. The separator itself isn't a target - it doesn't lead anywhere - but clicking it dismisses the menu. So, miss your intended target by a few pixels, and frustration ensues.

2. Window edges. This one is a side-effect of OSX's poor support for full-screen windows. Even if you 'maximise' a window, moving your pointer to an extreme edge does, for example, allow you to move the scrollbar, but persists in offering the 'size window' action. So you need to go all the way to one edge, then move ever so slightly back again, which reduces the target area from infinite to very small. Full-screen addresses this, whilst introducing other 'flaws' (like your global menubar no longer being visible).
He wasn't that anti-establishment. There were plenty of elected dems who were not that pro Clinton. Also Obama v Clinton race difference is she voted for the Iraq war which a sizable of dems were strongly against and Iraq was still going on. Now 8 years later anger has faded a bit and we don't see troops being killed.

She is also Obama chosen candidate.
Yeah there were some really cool flavours like blueberry cheesecake last time I was over there (2 years ago). Since then in Australia we have seen some new flavours come in like salted caramel and mint but nothing quite as interesting.

It seems we have a libvirt PKGBUILD but no released package. Here is the MSYS2 approach to software development, shamelessly taken from ArchLinux. Could you try this:

pacman -Ss base-devel mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain
git clone https://github.com/Alexpux/MINGW-packages.git
cd MINGW-packages/mingw-w64-libvirt
MINGW_INSTALLS=mingw64 makepkg-mingw -s
pacman -U *pkg*xz

.. and if it doesn't work file a ticket on:
https://github.com/Alexpux/MINGW-packages/issues

.. otherwise you should have an MSYS2 libvirt.

even if it does work, file a bug asking that mingw-w64-libvert gets packaged.

You really should not mix binaries from different ecosystems and compilers. I do not know how TDM configure their compilers or how Fedora configures theirs (exception models, C++ ABIs) but it is a risky business and I caution strongly against it. All your packages should be compiled with the same toolchain.

Why would you use TDM compilers anyway? MSYS2 comes with its own: pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain gets you the 64-bit version.

There's also Nagare in Python: http://www.nagare.org/trac/wiki/NagareTutorial

Do not automate your home itself, but let an autonomous robot automate it for you. That way you have a hardware "fallback" that is robust, cannot be hacked externally and can be adjusted manually. Think of R2D2 moving around the house and taking care of adjusting the lights and temperature and stuff. Additionally the robot can be equipped with sensors and such. Beware: the robot should not be controllable via WLAN!
Probably cross-domain abuse. I'd imagine there's a few edge cases that result in behavior Google doesn't want for ads. For example, double serving, accidental clicks, ad obscuring, etc.

BrewDog are one of my favourite breweries! Their collab, Black Tokyo Horizon is the single most interesting (and best, in my opinion) stouts in the world. Amazing to see that the recipes are open-source too, I guess it really is free-as-in-beer!
Also Iraqi engineers often had to be creative for a lot of Saddam's rule because of sanctions. I say that to add to the "oh shit list" of things not looking good for Mosul, as well as to give due praise for managing to make it work this long despite the challenges x0x0 pointed out.
There are the embedded and mainframe OSes, but I guess they might be considered niche.

Not so niche are iOS and Android, which aren't fully POSIX compliant.

Then being POSIX compliant is only half of the story, because each OS tends to be certified to specific versions and there is room for implementation specific behaviours.

For example, Aix used to have Windows like model for dynamic libraries. OS X and its derivatives have Frameworks and so on.

Finally POSIX only applications are constrained to CLI and daemons only, as everything else falls outside POSIX.

It couldn't? I'm by no means an expert on this, as my only experience with LLVM was for a undergraduate research project back when I was still in college, but I could swear that it allows custom calling conventions (would verify if I weren't on my phone).

Looks like there are two gcc versions, one is msys/gcc which is 4.9 and the other is mingw gcc which is 5.3. For a person like me who doesn't know anything about the differences between cygwin/mingw/msys etc. this is a little bit confusing.
It's mostly imperative vs declarative.

In gremlin you say: give me those vertices, walk down that path, store that value for later etc. (kinda like programming)

In cypher you say: I want the nodes, containting such and such properties connected such and such. (kinda like sql)

The lines are blurred (they always are). On the gremlin side you have "optimization strategies" that rewrite your query to make use of indices or reorder steps. On the cypher side you can inspect the query plan and futz with queries that are declaratively the same, but will be executed faster (just like sql! :)
Yes, wget is fantastic for mirroring www and ftp sites and I use it a lot for that purpose. It's magic [0]. I hadn't realized that it didn't support compression though, which might explain why it's so slow in some cases. Not normally a problem as it just runs in the background on a schedule.

Curl supports gzip and deflate. It would be great if support for sdch and br were added too. Brotli is in Firefox 44 and can be enabled in Chrome Canary with a flag. SDCH has been in Chrome for a while and is used on Google servers.

> As far as I can tell, msys2 is still posix/GNU for windows, with alternate shell (bash, not powershell etc) and alternate filesystem (posix/gnu-like)? While mingw is/was gnu/posix binaries for windows

The M in MSYS2 stands for Minimal. Meaning the Cygwin-y part is as small as is necessary to run a shell, bash and autotools to configure and build native Windows software that links to msvcrt.dll with no dependency on the Cygwin derived msys-2.0.dll what-so-ever.

The software built from the recipes here:

https://github.com/Alexpux/MINGW-packages

.. does not link to the GPLed msys-2.0.dll. It is built with mingw-w64 GCC. The focus of the project is to expand that collection of software.

That's not how 'Capitalism' (as currently practised) works - the owners of the AI reap the benefits and avoid paying taxes while certainly not taking care of you, why would Walmart AI or Disney AI care about plebs like you?

As a 3rd worlder, I say it's about time. It's unjust to have the world as your market without having to compete against everyone else. Maybe you should hire whoever is lobbying for American farmers because their subsidies are destroying farming elsewhere.

> The dam was designed by a Swiss firm of consultants and built by a German-Italian consortium in 1984. Water began seeping through in 1986, when it became apparent that the geological issues were worse than the consultants had predicted.

I doubt that this was an innocent failure on their part. There was a huge financial incentive for these firms to find some way to validate this project.

Successive foreign consultants warned about the risk of building this dam on water-soluble bedrock. The risk was not subtle.

The planning documents for this dam should be scrutinized very closely for evidence of omission or manipulation of data, and the firms involved should be investigated. And if they are found culpable, they should participate in the costs of shoring up the dam. They have played a part in this mess.
Yes, it's explicitly said in the docs that it's based/inspired by Seaside[1]. But note that - last time I checked - Nagare requires Stackless Python and not the standard interpreter. That's because Stackless lets you serialize tasklets and stack frames, which is impossible in normal Python without a custom C extension. It also lacked many useful features, like any kind of authentication handling (but, being WSGI compliant, you probably can plug some middleware to handle this).

I like picking beer company as a fun way to introduce a general audience to the notion of open source and segue into a broader econ discussion. I think a better example though is Tesla freeing up use of their patents for free. Yes there's a cynical reason decipherable (more EVs -> more market) but the way they've done it is pretty open, there's nothing to stop a clever company from competing with them better for being able to use the patented tech. Not having to deal with the lawyers' billables and tying up corporate leaders in legal meetings might be the biggest benefit for them.
I'm having similar feelings. I wish Jet was better documented. I hope the Codeship team writes some concise documentation for it, but I wonder if it's against their best interest because it will enable tech savvier customers to run the same CI infrastructure locally, as they are charging for in their service?

Marketing checklist to get your product from start to sales
Disclosure: I don't work for a "startup" but have started my own businesses before in the 80's and 90's. I work at a University now in tech.

I may get downvoted for this comment. Oh well.

I think I get PG's label of startup and why it matters to him and to HN followers. But let us not forget that most businesses are not started as a PG like "startup" and never go through the PG "startup" approach. Look around at the restaurants, small manufacturers, service companies like printer repairs and more. These are the companies that drive the economy.

I am tech centric and like many startups and what they seem to offer but I think sometimes things on HN get distorted. I am not anti-startup. In fact I'll be at SXSW and paying attention to the headline grabbers to see what interests me.

I hope MightyBell survives and I wish Gina the best of luck.

Let us not forget the small business persons that struggle everyday to survive and grow just a little, one customer at a time.
An ad hominem isn't a random insult. It is a dismissing of an argument because of an irrellevant personal trait. E.g., yo're double jointed therefore you know nothing of erlang lathe forming.

Relevant personal attributes, especially those which address credibility, are generally in bounds (see also "the asymmetry of bullshit", a/k/a Brandolino's law).

And observations of personal character not used as basis for argument aren't ad homs. Full stop.

http://www.nizkor.org/features/fallacies/ad-hominem.html

If you're going to use logical fallacies, try to use them correctly.

And while the initial comment whose tone you disagreed with, and the paragraph above may not be seen as acceptable on HN (I tend to feel they skate within bounds), both point out a category of error, and steps a person might take to correct them. Insufficient abstract interpretation in the first case, incorrect use of specific terminology in this case.

Of course, you could simply insist on being wrong. But that's your call.

Cheers.
The back-door owner owns different IP addresses and the data are randomly sent to his addresses. This can also explain "random"~~

I'm surprised there's no discussion of "Gypsy brewing" in this article. The pioneer of Gpysy brewing, Mikkeller, has brewed beers in collaboration with BrewDog before and Gpysy brewing is counterpart to this "open IP" style of doing business.

I think it represents a much more interesting vision of "postcapitalism" than just opening up IP. Renting out excess capacity (in a brewery or other production facility) allows IP-only companies to get into the business. Not only has it allowed Mikkeller (and others, including his estranged twin brother) to get into beer with litte or no capex, it's allowed him to operate on different continents, solving another host of problems for working in a global marketplace.

Apply that model to other industries and there could be a Cambrian explosion in innovation and creativity.

Ask HN: Creative ideas to activate communities?
Hello HN.

We were brainstorming on ideas for how we can activate our first community for our product Roomvine (www.roomvine.com). By "activate" I mean getting people within a 200M radius to download the app, check-in to a local chatroom and having their first interesting group conversation. Since we need a geographically dense user group, we are naturally leaning towards a campaign for university students or attendees of an event.

Any wild/interesting ideas?
Well, we package our own software so we can work around any quirks that our system introduces, but actually generic cmake should work fairly well out of the box.

The difference will the down to path translation. We don't stick to the old MSYS rules precisely as that code was re-written for MSYS2. MSYS2_ARG_CONV_EXCL can be used to prevent specific translations from happening too.

A bug report would be appreciated anyway.

> there's nothing to stop a clever company from competing with them

I wish I could remember where I read/saw it, but Musk stated that the goal of Tesla was to make the market shift to EVs, not generate profit. My memory is a bit hazy but I'm pretty sure he even said that after that goal was reached, he didn't care what happened to Tesla. With that in mind, the motivation for opening up patents seems pretty straightforward.
Uh, lots of languages are capable of tail call optimizations, return value optimizations. Things are not pushed to stack unless optimizations are impossible I believe

Full story: I published it before Ashlee published his, and I haven't read that one so I don't know what the difference is. But someone at Reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/elonmusk/comments/48mdf4/ive_writte...) told me:

"Interestingly, as I was reading the Ashlee Vance book, I actually had to flip back to yours in order to fill in gaps that Vance had left behind. I also enjoyed the extra stories that you placed in the book - the Winston Churchill story comes to mind."

But it didn't sell that well because marketing is difficult even though it got good grades 4/5 at Goodreads and a lot of upvotes when I posted the first version here (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6256959).

So I thought why not give it away for free because I think what Elon is doing is important and selling a few copies a month is not making me happier anyway.
