Short story:

HFT is generally considered good for retail traders because spreads tend to be lower. You trade both more cheaply and more quickly.

However, it's generally not good for large institutions (which are more than just 'big evil hedge funds') because markets react very quickly to movements caused by this big firms. If they decide that something is priced wrong, they won't be able to make many trades taking advantage of that.

For all the factual inaccuracies in this movie - which was like 99% of it - I think they have done an amazing job relaying the spirit of the manifesto - the general notion that hacking, as a culture, is really about challenging yourself and satisfying your curiosity.

It seems shortsighted to say "Cubans won't benefit" because international people will benefit first. If more international people go to Cuba, whether for tourism or to invest in businesses, or start businesses, isn't there a benefit to the Cuban people? And eventually it becomes less expensive, and within reach for everyone.

In the US the benefits of the connected network initially reached only the US DoD and its partners. Then university communities. Then early tech companies. Then everyone.

Ditto. My credit cards are set up to auto-pay in full every month (because apparently I'm too dumb to understand Chase's billing dates, I actually got a late fee one time when I was trying to pay everything off 100% manually every month).

It's ridiculous, but I get more utility out of the credit cards, even with the fees, than debit cards.

> This is false, it is used in production at Google for over 200+ million lines of C++. In fact, it's the only modules implementation actually used in production, AFAIK.

Not all of us get to see what goes inside Google.

The only LLVM talk about modules was several years ago (2012) and then Doug went silent on his work. I never saw a single post on the ISO C++ mailing lists about modules and their progress.

When I got to develop on Mac OS X system, it only worked properly with Objective-C code and for the system headers.

As far as I am aware you still can't use them with C++ on Sierra, at least there wasn't a single mention of it at WWDC on the LLVM and clang improvements talk.

I don't want to rely on external files to declare how #include should behave, I want to you module/import/export keywords and such.

Also I am on the side of those that don't want macros to escape modules.

Rex Linux Trojan Can Launch DDoS Attacks, Lock Websites, Mine for Cryptocurrency
Part of the problem is that the instincts of treating employees poorly is so deeply ingrained that companies who think they are being transparent often aren't. EG: You ask them about the cap table and they give you a verbal, off the head, assertion about who is on it. They don't let you actually see it.

Ironically this is the case often when they are making an offer, too. They won't tell you the number of shares outstanding, but they offer you 100k shares, as if that's a lot. Is it a lot? Or is it a trivial amount? Are they so stupid they don't realize that without knowing the total number authorized or outstanding that we can't evaluate the offer? Or do they think we are that stupid?

And when you do ask the total outstanding, you often get, again, off the head, old or inaccurate information delivered in a way that implies you're being nosy.
Yes, sorry, you're right, the second occurrence of the word 'pressure' should have been 'force'.
I don't feel qualified enough to discuss whether or not CS is truly a science, but I do think there's a strong distinction to be made between it and soft eng, for sure.
There are certain jobs where it may not work, but from what I've seen places I've worked, 40hr workweeks seem like a holdover from some, in my opinion, truly bizarre cultural expectations. I mean, at some offices I've worked people are basically shooting the breeze for at least 10 hours at the office a week with coworkers. Some of them don't like being at home with their families and so seem to think work is a way to get away from their responsibilities outside of work. I'd rather have that 'time bullshitting with coworkers' to do things I like to do not at work.

Is this some holdover from previous generations of just wanting to pressure everyone to do what they had to do? Sure, sometimes things need to get done, but alot of jobs aren't saving lives or doing much amazing, but "hit that deadline or we're going to die" is almost the implication made in business in the US in my experience...

Hopefully we'll stop this work addiction some day and realize lots of things can get done without making people be behind a desk an arbitrary number of hours per day...

Finally a compelling reason to upgrade.
Nonsense. Most cases of people going to the doctor are not immediately lethal. Broken bones, large skin lesions, rashes and the flu, back pain and tooth aches. With all of these things, it is really nice to go to the doctor, but you don't necessarily have to: You "just" face large amounts of pain and possibly long-term damage. Rational decision making takes place in a free market: You weigh your pain and the damage against the money spent at the doctor.

By socializing healthcare, we destroy its efficiency and drive up prices. If everyone goes to the doctor because of a little cough because it's "free", that is precisely the irrational uncapitalistic decision making we do not need. Another aspect is dumping millions into old people with end-stage cancer who die anyway, just prolonging the massive suffering by a couple of months or years (I personally know of such a case and it's heartbreaking how the greed of the doctors and the socialist health care system work together).
"I had learned already never to empty the well of my writing, but always to stop when there was still something there in the deep part of the well, and let it refill at night from the springs that fed it."
Not only that but a lot of the time you have no reasonable way to know what a medical service will cost you until it's already done. You can't even reason about shopping around for a better price much of the time. Insurance coverage rules are so complicated and astoundingly open to evaluation by your provider after the fact that consumer choice is basically nullified. There's effectively no downward price pressure at all for this reason. Insurers and medical providers have built a feedback loop of ever increasing prices that consumers have virtually no power to stop except by risking their own health.

Contrast that with a typically optional and not insured procedure like laser eye surgery where prices have fallen over time and are clearly advertised. Consumers can shop around and know ahead of time what the price will be thus prices fell.

Without that option there's nothing free about the market for consumers.
The problem is one of language; to laypersons "to plan" implies "has the intent to", you know, like "I plan to BBQ at the weekend". But to the people actually doing it, it literally means to write down the steps involved then put it away in a filing cabinet.
I guess it's relative. Our market isn't the number of users of a consumer market like the Apple App Store or Google Play. But then again there's millions of apps in each and getting yours noticed is extremely hard.

Part of what we're trying to do for our devs is grow it steadily year by year, and small developers are able to grow along with us (often faster as they first gain new customers). You may not know this but there's more than 60,000 organizations with anywhere from 10 to thousands of users in our customer base. There's a whole lot more startups with 1 to 9 folks too. They've collectively bought a few hundred thousand licenses of our ecosystem developers products so far since we launched.

I'd also counter that we're fairly open about what you can build. We work hard to have supported, public, documented APIs and patterns, but within that you can pretty much build anything you want. Candidly you probably don't want to build something directly in competition with Atlassian but there's lot of value to add around what we do. Last thing we released publicly on this was a while ago - I'm working on another release because our devs are much further along at this point but here you go https://techcrunch.com/2015/12/15/atlassians-marketplace-for...
I am glad they are doing this instead of accumulating more technical debt for their engineers. Good for them! I wish every company does this when they change their strategy, retire all the apps that are not needed instead of saying 'well, there are some folks who are still using it and we need to keep the lights on!" How many of you know what I am talking about?

Although they won't know of all your resources and capabilities, they will have some idea of many. And it's valuable to know what they may worry about. As well, how well their concern does or doesn't match reality.

In such planning, you need to explore the whole space of thought and possibilities -- from both sides -- and not just the more palatable ones you wish to follow.
This brings up a good question. Companies have to price their options to employees at the "market value". They often make the exercise price the same as the preferred share sale price. Yet the options are for common shares.

How can a company know what these options or shares are worth when they aren't preferred-- because there is no market events for them?

> Data from the Federal Reserve indicates that the percentage of Americans under 35 who hold credit card debt has fallen to its lowest level since 1989.

I read the original NYT article and had the same questions as many people here.

1. Isn't having less debt a good thing overall? (I'm not talking about things like business loans and so on)

2. Does lower credit card debt in the 20-35 cohort imply lower usage of credit cards or is just due to them running a balance less often? Is it still counted as "debt" if the balance is paid off every month?

3. Has anyone surveyed credit card companies about increase or decrease in number of credit card application approvals from the 20-35 cohort? Could that be a better proxy of credit card usage?

4. Is it at all possible that millenials use credit cards more sensibly than other generations? Maybe they only spend as much as they can pay off every month. After all, this is the generation that grew up in two wars and a depression.
They're just imaginary internet points.
Linux breaks things with updates? Would you like to share an example with the class?
> Do you have mandatory lunch times and locations?

No. In some offices there is a canteen where you can sit down and have a lunch with your colleagues, though.

Times and locations are most of the time decided by people. For example, you might decide to go to a restaurant/pizzeria with 2-3 colleagues, or just one, or more people from different departments, etc.

> Doesn't anyone ever want to spend their lunch break exercising or taking a walk?

Normally, people here in Europe tend to eat at the same time - let's say 12:30, or 13:00, or 13.30 - depending on the country.

> Or even going home to eat with their families?

This is almost never the case - as far as I know.

> What if you hired a Muslim who fasted for Ramadan?

I had a Muslim colleague once, and while he was fasting, he just didn't join, which is fine. However, before/after he was always part of the group.

Mine was not a criticism, just an observation, because that's what I have noticed during the years. It doesn't imply anything, just that under the following circumstances:

- in a country where people tend to eat at the same time on average ( let's say at 12.30),

- there is a canteen/kitchen in the office, or restaurants nearby,

- nobody goes to see the family during lunch,

- nobody goes for a walk during lunch, except for reaching the restaurant, or in the case everyone in the group (that doesn't have to be the whole team/company) is willing to.

Then, I have noticed that when people don't sit at the same table (it doesn't have to be the whole company simultaneously), there are issues in the teams. As I said, this is a personal observation, and I want to thank you for answering because your response offered me different insights and points of view (like: exercising, going for a walk, eating with family, etc).
Inside the Fisker Karma's Impossible Return from Automotive Hell
I remember reading that the fastest human reflexes and computational outputs seem to happen around 100ms, and it takes roughly 10ms to transmit a signal from neuron to neuron, so that would imply 10 layers deep is enough for, for example, human level visual recognition. Of course, the human brain is highly recurrent, so it gets much more complicated for any higher level thinking. And it's also much, much wider than our neural networks, even if not spectacularly deep.
If nothing else it's good training for the General Staff, for when they need to make "real" plans.

WW3 TURKEY DEMANDS USA HAND OVER NUCLEAR ARSENAL IN INCRIK TIT
similar story, but when I was older.

I got my first credit card when I was ~24. Coming from a 0 credit score (literally, no records), I had to do a $1,000 limit card, backed by a $1000 savings account I couldn't touch, with a $50/yr annual fee. Even my own bank, who knew my income and cash on hand (historically), wouldn't approve me for anything aside from this card. Around the same time, I had to get a cosigner on a used car loan, because even putting 50% down in cash, South East Toyota Finance wouldn't do better than 14% interest, lol.

It really didn't take long to build a credit score up though. 3 years later and Im well in to the "excellent" range, and had no issues getting a home loan a year ago.

The thing with that is that you didn't really put down that problem for the 8-12 hours between ending one day and starting the next. You're percolating on it, thinking about it in the shower, playing out the different options, dreaming about it, sometimes even when you don't want to.
> The text mentions it has to fuse the four FP ports to do a single 256-bit AVX per cycle. This is significantly less wide than Intel architectures (half/quarter). We can interpret the width thus as 4+2+1 ports, which is in the Haswell ballpark.

4+2+2, no need to combine all 4 ports, just the two multiplies or the two adds.

The text is speculation of the journalist. There It's possible that each port is actually 256 bits wide and fusing them is only needed for the 512bit AVX instructions that Intel don't even support yet.

Even if AMD are splitting the 256 bit fpus in half, that is still a huge win over average code, because 128bit SSE instructions are much more common than AVX instructions, and AMD can execute upto four of them per cycle.

Even Intel disable the upper half of their FPU most of the time to save power, AVX instructions get split into two 128bit micro-ops unless until a threshold is encountered and the upper half powers up.

> If Scheduler means assigning micro-ops per port, than there can logically only be a single one.

I assume that means one Re-order buffer per port. Bulldozer already had two Re-order buffer, one for float instructions and one for interger instructions, which proves multiple ROBs for different ports are possible. You just need to track dependencies across ROBs.

I'm guessing that tracking deprbdiencies across 7 schedulers is not much harder than tracking deprbdiencies across 2.
