I love it when the comments are rich as it helps the IDE, I love the great formatting achieved especially considering the column limit and I also love that the variable names are only single letter when they can be (a local context of a very clearly defined function).

I don't love the variable declarations inside loops and hadn't noticed them, but even if I did, I don't have an opinion about them. Maybe they aren't good for performance? If so, well, then you have a point but I can't say. I'm not a Java expert, I'm not even using it very often.

My first point in the comment you replied was "don't dismiss it just because it's a language you don't like, it actually looks beautiful" and you are arguing that (correct me if I'm wrong) it's not beautiful at all. I wouldn't down-vote you, but it's obvious that we differ on taste. Maybe I should have said that "the beauty of the referenced code is very hard to match if you ignore your bias against a language and appreciate the stylistic choices" as you would probably also agree that it is at least very, very coherent.

>> just a < 5 MB interpreter that you could do a lot with

Just to note that Rebol 2 is below 1 MB. Depending on platform, Core is normally below 300K and View is around 600-800K - http://www.rebol.com/downloads.html

Unfortunately Rebol 3 (Ren/C branch) is a little beefier at this moment :( The non debug version is usually between 1.2 & 1.9 MB - http://metaeducation.s3.amazonaws.com/index.html

This Rebol 3 size will shrink. Currently there is development on build & extension process which will help. NB. There's been a big refactoring/redesign of the Rebol 3 interpreter in last couple of years so there maybe (still) some artefacts from many forks/merging of codebase that could also be shaken out.

But how do you screen for these things without tipping off to candidates that that is what you are looking for? As soon as you explicitly mention a set of requirements, you will have candidates looking to game interview processes built around those requirements.
But plenty of us are US-born! A glance often isn't enough to distinguish between international and domestic students.
Agreed. AFAIK, only statistics has addressed the question of info sufficiency in data and discriminative power of method. Personally, I think the former is an enormously important subject that isn't addressed well in most ML texts. How much data is necessary to answer a given question in practice? How do you know if your data or method are "good enough"?

From what I've seen, statistics addresses these questions better than CS-taught ML does. CS-based ML is no different from algorithm analysis; it suffers from sensitivity to limits inherent in the data. But ML courses often don't address these limits very rigorously. Yet knowing those limits is all important when effectively mining information at a professional level.

If you can't tell the decision maker what you know and what you don't, your inference/prediction really isn't useful. From what I've seen, statistics addresses this best.
Performance bothers me an order of magnitude less than the potential for obscure bugs which could lose me data.

I integrated with some Chinese students and it was really hard! The language barrier means that conversation is really slow and you don't get to see their personality as much. Additionally, when I brought them to events with all English students, they had to spend all their time with me because they struggled to make friends. I think that you should have more empathy for them.
Better to know ahead than to get a nasty surprise. I think it's good to warn people about the what, when, why, and how to recognise it. It might be rare but it's also pretty serious.

Rebol/Red (a.k.a. Redbol) languages inherit from Lisp, Forth, and Logo, along with Self for the object model. Tcl was not an influence as far as I know. There will certainly be other minor influences, as Sassenrath, Ousterhout, and Cowlishaw were all important designers in that era.
Worth noting that the head of Yale's endowment fund and IEX's interests are aligned. The business model of IEX is to convince naive investors that high frequency trading is somehow screwing them and that they should choose to route their orders to IEX in order to avoid it. They then facilitate trading between these naive investors and large institutional investors (like Yale) who want to move large blocks of shares before the market moves against them.

Wasn't actually my fault: My code ordered the factory to errantly produce several thousand dollars worth of left-hinged doors. (A guy who should have known better set a bunch of flags that messed up it's hinge-determination logic. Anything that was supposed to be produced as one left and one right got produced as two left instead.) As everything was build-to-order it's unlikely any got used at least for their intended purposes. (I still have a few unused doors around--put some casters on them and you have a nice looking rolling wooden platform. The laser printer on the floor beside me is sitting on one of those.)

I think this is well known. The real problem is that the traders are much smarter than the regulators, and their ability to obscure far exceeds the regulators' ability to untangle. Incentivise your regulators better and you might end up attracting some real talent who can unearth the tricks the crafty traders pull every day (I am an ex trader, from a bulge bracket IB, and trust me, what some of these guys do is not at all kosher).
I'm not as offended by this as most people I guess. It's the modern variation of the headline.

This is a quasi-inevitable side issue. Generally, investors eat transaction costs and aren’t party to decisions that affect them. There are related issues in many 3-party systems. In medicine, doctors, insurers and other people tend to decide on (prescribe) products and services. The consumer eats the costs (sometimes it’s a 4th party) and decision makers have an incentive to take kickbacks.

The regulator could do stricter rules/policing, for a partial fix.

Before you start talking about what would be effective in reducing the amount of high frequency trading you have to make the case that reducing HFT is a good goal in the first place. This is a challenging case to make.

The thing is, information is being lost in the wordy, flowery prose. The GP said three bullet points were missing when they actually are supposed to be there. I also felt like I missed a lot reading through it and I felt like I should start taking notes to see what it actually says. That's not good.
I realize this in the op-ed section of the paper, but where the issues are complex and most people are totally unfamiliar with them, printing one side of the story feels a lot like endorsement.

When Flash Boys came out there was extensive discussion here on HN about IEX's claims. I was convinced that Lewis at the very least exaggerated the benefits of thier speedbump model.

`attic` and `borg` are just one `sudo apt install attic` or `sudo apt install borgbackup` away. No "bullshitting around with python dependencies" required.

However, on some systems I've seen the delete performance wedge the disk. I'm going to blame cheap SSDs for this; you could watch it delete the first few thousand files, and then requests on that drive slowed to a crawl. Including other file creates and writes. I suspect this was due to syncing each delete change, which incurs a rewrite of a whole Flash block. After a short while the drive runs out of prepared blank Flash and has to start slowly erasing some more.

And that's using rmdir.
I think that the disconnect here is that this isn't a "burner phone" the way many people think of them, but rather some sort of call/SMS firewall.

TIL - The Tundra (and Molniya) orbits are really interesting highly eccentric geosync (demigeosync) orbits that spend most of their time at high inclination perigee to allow clear line of sight transmission above 1 (or 2 locations) on Earth. This is useful since geostationary satellites are low angle at high latitudes and more difficult to launch. They are almost always at 63 degrees to avoid orbit perturbation due to gravitational anomalies, but still have to pass through the Van Allen radiation belts 2 (or 4) times per day.

That is what this tutorial is advocating. Don't get me wrong this is a great project to explore kotlin and twilio. But ultimately a very expensive one if your number gets sold to a lot of other companies.
I've always thought a better solution would be a voluntary market "quantization" at some reasonable human-scale time frame. It would be a little random (to avoid gaming), so all put and asks get resolved "about every hour".

There would probably have to be a law to prevent people from running markets at faster time-scales on top of this.

I'm pretty sure joylent lost me a job once. I was there consulting but they were making good noises about an extension.

Then I tried a week on joylent. I emitted smells I have only previously come across in a hospital. The putrid reak of a gut in very great distress.

It goes away in a few days, said the internet. So I kept faith and held on for a week, then a second.

One morning I came in to find my desk had been moved to the break area. 'we noticed that your are ill so we thought it was better all round if you weren't here with the team'

I dropped joylent after that, and my bowels went back to normal. But the damage was done (indeed I had to bin some of my trousers as the damage seemed embedded in them).

So I say, joylent, okay, but only if you work from home and don't cohabit.
The challenge for Twilio is that phone #s are a fixed quantity. The same #s have been circulating across lots of different companies including being used by spammers and in marketing campaigns and published across the Internet. Make sure to search the Internet for any phone # you acquire from Twilio before buying it. It may already have substantial call spam/undesirable organic traffic associated with it.

On the flip side, there are already companies out there specializing in monetizing misdials. They specifically look for phone #s that have been retired recently with a lot of volume and then take those calls and resell as leads for cars, insurance, etc.
> variable declarations inside loops

Depends on the standards. A lot of language standards say to declare vars near where you use them. Does make syntactical analysis easier. See scoping and namespace rules.
This makes intuitive sense but I have never seen good evidence for it. I personally do not believe that:

- organic food is bad for the environment
- organic food is less space efficient to grow

I do believe that:

- organic food may have lower crop yields

Yes, but then emptying the trash takes forever.

I mean when Shift+Deleting, or emptying the trash, Windows should:

- mark the folder as "garbage" in the filesystem and rename it to something impossible to free up the name

- hide the folder from the UI (apps should not see the file anymore)

- schedule a real deletion (reclaiming the space) with low priority in the background

- in case of a crash, chkdisk should detect garbage files and delete them.
While this still may not technically be the right term if it doesn't have root, I think "rootkit" sounds like a much more appropriate term.
I think higher spreads would “slow” highest frequency trading. They cross the spread many more times per dollar than regular investors to it costs them more.

High frequency trading only works inasmuch as transaction costs are low, at least that’s my understanding.
I just don't get how this is considered "normal" - they create the ecosystem, let it thrive with the content users generate, and after some category/apps reach a certain interesting threshold, Google gathers all the data they have access to and use their massive distribution system to deploy their version built on the back of their userbase.

I think it's dangerous, in all honesty. The same goes for Apple/Facebook/Amazon. If they build an ecosystem they shouldn't be able to take advantage of it to build and deploy products.

Also, there is an argument for more time controlled auctions rather than giving everyone a continuous look at the order book. Much like the start of day auction, you could have something similar every minute, where traders submit prices but matching only occurs at the end of each minute. This would certainly put an end to the annoying high/low ticking that happens all too often.
That was CP/M-80 filesystem. The free-space allocation map was created when the disc was mounted, by scanning all file entries. Free space was available via STAT (afair).

DOS (FAT) used an allocation list on disc. CP/M couldn't corrupt the free-list (didn't have one). Unix is a different animal. CP/M didn't have "folders" (user areas instead).
I write tiny programs in the Unix tradition: (mostly) stream based primitives that fit together with other tools, like format conversion (json-yaml) or command repeater rept(1), which is great together with lam(1).

I also enjoy writing the man pages, porting to very old compilers, creating packages, etc. It's a refreshing distraction from working with enterprise CMSes.
Parent is correct. Uninformed order flow is what HFT wants to trade against: people buying because they have cash and selling because they need it. HFT doesn't want to trade with people moving prices at the old prices.

The kinesis is expensive. It's worth it for lots of people, but not everyone. And it's hard to say whether it'll be worth it for you without buying one.
