Look, my view is that people put too much energy in shaving off microseconds to get to the exchange. This has no benefit for the non HFT traders in general. At some point, the exchange HAS to say that it received the orders at the same time. Currently that resolution is something like 1 ten millionth of a second.

My opinion is that in making that time resolution coarser, we would avoid having people racing to trade in micro seconds, and spend all that stupid energy in being super fast.

There aren't any countries which haven't done it in one way or another - from Singapore and Hong Kong loading up on US treasuries, to Japan's eye wateringly high car subsidies in the 50s to America (from 1800s-1945).

"Free trade" is simply the philosophy of pulling up the development ladder after your country has already ascended and "the theory of comparative advantage" is the dogma that presumes that comparative advantage is both immutable and static.
Also.. Vitalik (and his offsiders) created ethereum when he was like 19. This is impressive, but it also makes you wonder - what real world problems did Vitalik have experience of that he was trying to solve? Zuckerburg was trying to connect groups of friends. Was Vitalik really so driven by the need for unintermediated prediction markets and zero-trust digital contracts as a teenager?

I guess this came off (unintentionally) as sarcastic. I had always assumed the risk of the NSA leak was from non-state actors (as this case) and it hasn't occurred to me that governments will find it just as handy -- in retrospect of course they will.
That was me. And $95,000/year is a pretty good salary. Don't forget the free room and board on top of that.
Right, so do I. The only problem is that I can't cover my credit card with Bitcoin, and I earn some part of my revenue with it.
The stated case is that you could be let go, but will continue to be paid until the noncompete is terminated. The result is that day 1 of job hunting is day 1 of not getting paid. I'm saying this is akin to termination without severence.
> For example: I dare say Trump doesn't give a flying fuck about what he had to do to get elected. He picked out 5 or 10 focus groups that would give him the necessary votes to win, and focused on those. He won't deliver. He just wanted to be president.

It's weird that we tend to assume people are stupid or disingenuous when we disagree with them. Trump has been on the receiving end of a lot of that and in the case of economics it's easily debunked. He was a supporter of Ross Perot in the 90s, and nearly ran for Perot's Reform party. For those too young to remember, Perot's primary issue was protection for American jobs. The interesting is that, as international businessmen, both Perot and Trump were in more of a position to make money internationally than under the protectionist rules they pushed. When you realize that it looks a little less like self-interest.

There are many reasons to dislike Trump but it doesn't do any good to minimize him. In fact, it's counter-productive. You counter your opponent by really knowing him.

I've used handbrake some time ago but not recently, and hadn't heard about this. Summmary of the situation from the handbrake website:

HandBrake-1.0.7.dmg was replaced by another unknown malicious file that DOES NOT match the SHA1 / SHA256 hashes on our website or on our Github Wiki which mirrors these: https://github.com/HandBrake/HandBrake/wiki/Checksums

The Affected Download mirror (download.handbrake.fr) has been shutdown for investigation.

The Primary Download Mirror and website were unaffected.

Downloads via the applications built-in updater with 1.0 and later are unaffected. These are verified by a DSA Signature and will not install if they don't pass.

Downloads via the applications built-in updater with 0.10.5 and earlier did not have verification so you should check your system with these older releases
In Norway we added a law now from 2017 that the employer have to pay you the same salary for the period the non-compete is in operation. Maximum 1 year. It have you be in you contract up front, and they have to explicitly list customers and competitors.
Not surprising to see 14 year old unpatched software connected to the internet being hacked like that. At least, the ones in charge of budgeting these upgrades should pay a price for failing at doing so, the users are obviously innocent victims.
Incidentally, this style of coding (loop free) is also what Simulink (in discrete stepping mode) enforces. Algebraic loops are not possible, period; you have to insert a one-step delay. A side effect is that step time is much more predictable (I have not found this advantage being mentioned in the article).
Have you ever tried to statically link a program on Linux? I'm guessing not. Until recently it was more or less impossible because glibc cannot be statically linked. Nowadays you can do it with musl but it still takes significant extra effort.

It's not as simple as "windows programs include their dependencies". Windows has far better forward and backward compatibility than Linux (by which I mean Linux plus the required userland stuff - libc, ld, etc.)

That's kind of to be expected. Comparability is tons of extra effort that open source can't really prioritise, but don't just pretend that it is as good as Windows.

Ok, so you don't have to go this far.

The only thing you have to do, is when people ask you where you work, just say "I'm under NDA. Can't talk about it.".

Or keep it vague. "I am a web developer". Something like that.

What's wrong with it exactly? If I hired a flooring company to lay down some hardwood, I'm not going to tell them "now, don't go doing flooring for my competition for the duration of this job." What's the difference?

You're right that it's fair for employers not to hire me if this is my demand. I never meant to imply otherwise. Employers can require all sorts of terrible things. Our recourse is mostly to either negotiate or put up with it.

> But the median outcome is going to be worse than with other, more enlightened dating strategies.

Anecdata seems to suggest that dating websites work relatively well, especially as they become more socially acceptable. I know several couples now married who met through one. Also, [smallish] parties/social gatherings often have friends of friends which tends to be a decent form of curation.

> And the ones most willing to engage have their own reasons for seeking out a lonely programmer.
...
> What dating advice/strategies do you have for software engineers aiming to establish a family?

You are not your profession. If your identity is overly intertwined with your profession, this could potentially be part of the problem.

At the end of the day you have to be an attractive human being (not just a programmer!) that other people enjoy being around, including potential partners. It may be time for some serious self-reflection to figure out what is root cause of your loneliness, and what can be done to improve oneself to fix this, to build relationships with both men and women, and not just a spouse.
It's clear that the Chinese are playing economics to win, while the West is playing like it's still just a game.

It's kinda weird when you think about it. A Western manager thinks that Chinese or Indians are content to do as they are told and lack the ability or ambition to compete, so just outsource the work. But the truth is they are just as smart as anyone, and have the same aspirations as everyone else and are ruthless about getting it just as the West was in the imperial colonial days.
> When an employer chooses a white man over a black/brown/fuschia man even though the wage it's the same then it's not the law that is racist. It's the employer.

Yes, but where there is no minimum wage, the racist employer has to pay a price for being racist because people of color are selling cheaper labor than white people, so if racist employer wants to hire white people only he will have to pay a higher price. With minimum wage laws, racist employers don't pay a price for being racist because whites get the same minimum wage, this is why it encourages racism.

Except that isn't rape and only stupid men think women believe it is. However, what definite _is_ rape is sex without consent due to alcoholic incapacitation of the victim. This gives you victims who would have great difficulty proving a damn thing in court. Victims who get their attack consistently mischaracterised by men who prefer to believe a man's version of events over a woman's.

Now, if you're asking me how many women have been raped in a fashion that is likely to result in a conviction, I'll agree that the number is much smaller. But let's not confuse a failure in society with a society where this stuff doesn't happen.

You talk about a "scientist", only all these reports are stuck together by actual scientists, and all you've managed to produce is some flimsy MRA talking points.

TL;DR; Try believing women for once. It's surprisingly informative.

I'd guess that most hospitals don't do in-house development for the software they use. They paid someone else for it, probably at "enterprise" rates; it's hard to blame them for not having the budget or desire to replace working systems with new shiny (complete with new bugs) every X years.

That's sophistry. Being full time employed means just that. Obviously you have free time and that's great, but that's time to do not-work, not other work, and that's obvious and reasonable to the vast majority of employees, and it makes a lot of sense that prohibiting it is the default.

The fact that we work in a field where your hobby might quite often be productive work to the extent that it could compete with your day job is an extreme privilege and is to be treated as such.

That said, these things are often malleable, and that's a good thing to be aware of, but grandstanding on "4.2x salary" just makes you look entitled.
There is XProtect that warns people about known malware - https://www.howtogeek.com/217043/xprotect-explained-how-your...

There's Gatekeeper, that warns people about unsigned software from untrusted sources, and prevents it from running by default (you have to know to ctrl-click the app to force it to open, which really cuts down on accidental installs and saves most technically illiterate users from themselves).

There's also SIP, which makes sure that even if malware is installed, it can't mess with a large number of system-owned files, so the amount of damage it can do is somewhat curtailed.
What I don't understand with STCs is, how would I, as a developer, decide when to use them and when not?

As program correctness is concerned, tail calls and recursive calls should behave exactly the same (except stack use), so going by correctness alone, either the choice doesn't matter at all or tail calls are preferable. So the logical thing to do would be to always use tail calls.

The post goes on to list a number of disadvantages, but those seem to be either debugging concerns or platform-specific implementation concerns.

The former doesn't seem to be something that should be solved in the code - the document itself lists a number of solutions. The latter is not something that I as developer could judge as I likely don't have knowledge about the specific implementation of the platform the code is running on (if I know the platform in advance at all)

So it seems to me, STC shifts the problem of deciding to the developer even though the developer has no good tools to actually solve it.
I think the problem is that "competitor" may be very loosely defined.
I very much agree, I think that the concept of property, the concept of possession, and the abolishment of the former should be discussed more, though it's strange that it's often taken for a given in political discussions, despite the work of Proudhon (What is Property?) and further by Bakunin, Kropotkin and Marx (who was very much in admiration of and inspired by Proudhon's book).

Google Play Services meets all the definitions of spyware. It's built to collect data on your usage and track your location and report it to a third party for their own interests. It's nearly impossible to fully remove, and it has replaced critical parts of core applications so you can't remove it without crippling your own ability to use the device.

I get that you're a fan, but it's impossible to define it any other way.

And as always, remember that any data Google can collect, the government can collect through them. They have no legal ability to resist those requests. So, your precise location history at all times? Yeah, that's an open book.

Why do people like to switch to passive third-person voice to avoid admitting the tiniest little error? I see this a lot with lawyers. It doesn't really fool anyone and makes the little mistake look worse.

A complete macroinstruction is executed by generating an
appropriately timed sequence of groups of control signals (micro-operations).

http://www.frsn.utn.edu.ar/tecnicas3/manuales/Microprogrammi...

Originally, RISC cpus were hardwired but they are general purpose ISAs. RISC-V is fixed 32b ISA but has multiple formats controlled by an opcode.

https://image.slidesharecdn.com/20160130deckyfosdemportinghe...

Original microprogrammed CPUs had a writeable control store (WCS). Modern processors translate CISC instructions into μops and cache this translation. The difference is the μop cache (μstore) vs WCS. FWIW, Skylake also has a WCS for obscure instructions.

Microinstructions, μops, do not have an opcode. They are not decoded. Bits in a horizontal μop gate logic on/off directly.

The RISC-V people do say RISC-like.

https://www2.eecs.berkeley.edu/Pubs/TechRpts/2016/EECS-2016-...

And even that's wrong. But then they never even define what a RISC is. So RISC-like could be anything.
> Of course it's arbitrary. And the current time resolution (a computer tick = one ten-millionth?) is just as arbitrary.

So why should we change it?

> The market is a man-made system, it's made by and for humans. It would make sense that the time resolution of events is mapped to human perception: You need subsecond liquidity because traders want to perceive their orders as being immediate. But as soon as the order looks immediate, you don't need further precision. The additional resolution is useless to anyone making decisions and only encourages a stupid race that requires immense investments.

I don't follow - by that logic, everything created by humans shouldn't have resolution greater than what we can perceive. Does this hold for, say, HTTP requests, or pings?

> Can you explain what you think is the value in submillisecond trading?

It allows me to complete trades before the market turns against me. In the absence of any particular harm, faster execution is better.

You need to remember that Boeing actually went faster first, and when that failed, they went to the 7E7 - what eventually became the 787. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_Sonic_Cruiser

Boeing ended up doing pretty well with that mistep. It kept them from launching the 747 expansion that they were talking about (which would have been a disaster) and eventually made them really listen to customers - something that Airbus wasn't doing in the heady days after the millennium in Europe.
