That works for the barely double-digit percentage of apps which store all necessary state in the URL. In most cases, it's more like share a link, reauthenticate, get an unhelpful error page, use the navigation to get back to where you were, learn that the work you did first wasn't saved at all or that their eventual consistency means "same day" (e.g. iCloud), and hopefully they don't have some halfhearted attempt at locking which will prevent you from continuing. I suspect that if this feature ever arrives it'll be streaming rendered video like CarPlay/etc. because that's the only thing the device vendor can count on.

The point isn't that this is uncharted waters technically but that too many companies decided a good user experience isn't compatible with their desired profit margins. In some cases like security and bug fixes that might change due to regulation but that's far from certain and it's really hard to imagine that extending to broad interoperability.
FWIW you can get code-formatting by prefixing lines with a 4-space indent:

parse_dns_header(raw_packet) ->

ID:16,
QR:1, OPCODE:4, AA:1, TC:1, RD:1, RA:1, Z:3, RCODE:4,
QDCOUNT:16,
ANCOUNT:16,
NSCOUNT:16, ARCOUNT:16,
Tail/binary
>> = raw_packet,

Also for readers, this does depend on customisable (per-segment/field) defaults: `ID:16` is a shorthand for `ID:16/big-unsigned-integer-unit:1` aka "16-bits wide segment parsed as an unsigned integer in big endian"
I hear you. I spent some time in big consulting before I became a lawyer (and before I went back to tech), and the number of people that derive their self worth from their work accomplishments was very high. That, in and of itself, isn't surprising, but I theorize that many (most?) weren't always of the live-to-work variety. However, they put in the mega hours in at work early on, kept going, and by age 30 work was all that remained. So it became about work for the sake of work, rather than the life outside. Having been in two of the more soul-crushing industries, I'd rather find a better balance. I also realized in typing this that I was a real glutton for punishment in my 20's.
I'm pretty sure it's the opposite: for every four job postings, there is one person looking for work. So, the climate is very good.

I much prefer Scheme (and Racket) to the other Lisps I've tried (Common Lisp and Emacs Lisp), since it emphasises functional programming.

Since the ideas of Nix come from functional programming (e.g. conceptually, the Nix store contains all packages, the "install" commands just force their evaluation) Scheme seems like a closer fit.

Machines as simple as thermostats can be said to have beliefs, and having beliefs seems to be a characteristic of most machines capable of problem solving performance. -- John McCarthy

A claim that a machine has consciousness seems like it would be similar to a claim that a machine has beliefs, and the correctness of such a claim probably has more to do with what the criteria are for something having beliefs or consciousness than the complexity of implementation details.

This is not how the math works, and it shows a common statistical fallacy. We cannot assume that the chance that a person loses money one year is uncorrelated with the chance that the same person loses money the next.

Here is a simple model a mathematician might realistically use to model this. Given N traders, let P_1..P_N be iid Beta(α, β), and let the chance that trader n loses money during a year be Bernoulli(P_n). The nice thing about this more complicated model is that the simpler model is a limit case of it.

This "first approximation" lets us use simple mathematical tools to test hypotheses like that by providing an alternative model. If our beta distribution looks more like a constant distribution (with high values for α and β) then we can conclude that the number of traders who lose money approaches 100% as time goes on. If the estimate for α and β is lower, we might reasonably conclude that there is some factor of skill involved.

This is just one possible model you could use to test if there is skill involved in day trading. There are many other models which we could test which would also mean that the proportion does not approach 100%, such as a models which assume correlations between different years.
One thing I've always wondered, if you take a day trader that was wiped out in some time span, and reversed all the trades (ie sell rather than buy and buy rather than sell), would they still be wiped out?
Thank you. There it is listed out.

I'm unsettled that a strategy involving using information that must have 0 correlation to each person's own correct answer could yield a collectively correct answer. I have heard problems similar to this before where I have been able to say "oohhhhhh" and find out why the answer does not seem to violate other overarching truths, but I'm not there with this one yet.

This is a like a person spelling out, step by step, how to build a perpetual motion machine, with no clear missteps, and the machine works, and I'm trying to understand how it jives with the second law of thermodynamics.
> Android predates Go...

So? Apple introduced Swift after Obj-C to make developing iOS apps easier. What about GOOG? Couldn't they at least use Dart or Go (both of which they developed) for android app development after Java? BTW, last time I checked, they're still in for a lot to come from Oracle.

> Again, Al-*-Go was based off technology from ...

So let me get this straight. They bought a technology which was apparently written in C++/JS and rewrote it in another lang, but then again, they did not choose Go or Dart.

Yeah, PCEL and PAEC are the weird cases. If you are going to operate inconsistently when there isn't a partition, why would you strengthen your guarantee when there is a partition? It seems like there might theoretically be some useful system in that space, but I have no idea what it would look like. Detecting the partition and switching modes will probably have false positives and false negatives, so it wouldn't be predictable what behavior you would get.

And PAEC seems like a system that usually is consistent but then throws data away during a partition (but it accepts all your writes!). Systems where the worst case behavior is weaker than the ordinary case typically have lots of surprising behavior in that worst case.

Similar to CAP where you can't choose CA, I don't know why you'd choose either of these weird cases in PACELC.
Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the better solution to this containerization? The application will in a literal sense own the system.

> > Which would you expect to have the most?

> Cars, by a significant proportion - because there are far more of them than bikes.

Personally, I would expect bikes, based on what I routinely see whilst walking to and from work.

There are factors which make it less likely for motorised vehicles to jump red lights. Firstly, they're identifiable (number-plate) and can be tracked down after the incident without needing to immediately chase them down. This increases the likelihood that they're held accountable.
Secondly, as you pointed out, it only takes one motorist to obey the law, and the others are forced to follow suit, whilst it's easy for cyclists to filter to the front, then break the law.

I understand when you point out that the consequences of a motorist jumping the lights are much more severe, and I do agree with that, but I disagree with the idea that motorists jump red lights as often or more often than cyclists.

Whether cyclists should be permitted to jump red lights, cycle the wrong way on a one-way road, and be exempted from similar traffic controls is another question. There's a lot to suggest that the anger at cyclists is the routine brazen law-breaking, so exempting them from the law would go some way to defuse that anger. As the regulations were aimed at the more serious consequences of vehicular impact, exempting cyclists wouldn't have the same level of risk.
Yes, there's always quite a difference between the showcase and the backoffice.

Ok, to put it differently, the Innovator's Dilemma was the interpretation of your description I could most easily agree with. It's also valid, because that local maxima can also exist in a software project where maintenance has a greater short-term payoff than refactoring.

In that case I'm sticking to my guns and just disagreeing with you. Many companies are horribly operationally inefficient in many ways, but they often don't care if it's not actively costing them significant market share. The moment that expense report process starts impacting the bottom line you can bet they'll be on the cutting edge of resolving it.
If you do this, divide the number of people who run a red light out of the number of people who have the opportunity to run that red light.

Once one car stops, no following cars have a chance to run the light.

Any bicycle that stops somewhere within a few car-lengths of the junction could wiggle round and run the light.

In my experience in London, a higher proportion of cars run the lights.

I re-read Michael Lewis' Liar's Poker once every few years. In new reprints he's added a prologue where he says something along the lines of "I tried to write a book about the horrors of wall street and instead it became a recruiting tool for wall street"

In a similar vein whenever something like this comes up I write something that says don't try and do this and inevitable I get 10+ emails from people saying "Ok I understand but I still want to do it anyway."

So if you really want to try and day trade, here is my 5 points of advice

1) You haven't done anything until you trade with real money. Ever played poker with friends that wasn't for money? You always get some jerk bluffing and going all in on Ace-7 because why not, it doesn't matter.

If you want to trade you need to learn your own emotional limits. Get invested as soon as possible. Learn what kind of stress you can deal with.

2) The average successful individual algo trade looks like John Turturro charter Joey Knish in rounders. You are always grinding out a living $100 to $1000 at a time. If that isn't' appealing then stop before you start.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0128442/fullcredits/

3) You need money to begin. It takes as much effort to trade 2000 as it does 200,000. Above a million or so things change. A minimum amount I'd use would be 50,000. If you can't set that aside to trade then don't start.

I mean if you have a great year trading 5,000 and make 20% you have made $1,000. That's not worth the effort. But at say 100,000 your 20% is starting to be real money!!

Be clear to yourself that you are doing this for the money. Any other reason just gives you an easy out.

4) The most important number to look at is draw down, not sharp ratio. I see lost of people on quantopian show great backtested algos that return 200% over 5 years, but have a 70% draw down at one point.

Most people don't have the psychology to loose money. At 10% down you start to question yourself. At 20% down you get really grumpy in all aspects of your life. Most people don't have the ability to let their positions fall to 30% down. If your backtest has a draw down of more than 30% you don't have a workable algo.....period.

Sharpe ratio is great if you are an HFT firm trying to decide how to divvy up your money across 30 successful algos. You don't have 30 successful aglo's. You will be lucky to have one.

5) Don't use leverage....... you can break the other rules, this one you can't. I've seen people go bankrupt. Don't use leverage.

But seriously to my academic mind: Journal = published, Notebook = notes from experiments.

Besides the name issue, it looks Science Journal is part of a wide host of open source tools aimed at enabling data collection and experimental control. The big player in this area is National Instruments/Labview.

I wonder if there's room in the market for a mid-level player (or if one already exists). Utilize the open source developments and create a "certified and supported" toolset for experimental control. Cheaper than NI, but more reliable than "this firmware I found on github".

Possibly. Also, due to the nature of trading, they may have been wiped out in this hypothetical "reverse all trades" scenario before they were in reality. For example, they could have had one potent stochastic windfall early in their career that, had it gone the other way, would have wiped them out.

Sometimes the corruption is in the metadata, in which case you are lucky and the duplication can help.

But neither method you mentioned lets you recover your data if the data itself is corrupted.

If you really want to recover data, use something with error-correction, like Parchive. RAR 5.0's recovery record is another solution, also based on Reed-Solomon error correction codes.

Archive tools usually don't use those methods because performance and compression size are the prime reasons people use an archive system, not robustness to error. In large part because the storage and network protocols are so good that such errors rarely occur. Because they use error-correction codes.
I realized that I unnecessarily came off like I was getting on your case specifically about this. It's just a concept that's crossed my mind in general lately about people's views on the place of science.
