I'm new to options.

Looking at the AAPL options on yahoo finance, I can't find any puts that cost $156.41, even those in the money 2020 options.

How did you get selling a put cost same as the underlying share price?

I thought one of point of options pricing is you don't need to put up the same amount as owing the shares.

Not all of us are, I suggest.
I find the whole concept of "preparing for an interview" kinda strange.

I understand why people do it, and I certainly wouldn't fault anyone for giving themselves the best possible chance. But at a certain level, it really feels like trying to cheat the system.

In an ideal world, a normal conversation about the technology - your opinions, preferences and experiences regarding it - should be able to reveal what the interviewer needs to know.
Yes, it was really good. It pretty much Just Worked(tm), had a good UI for a web app, and was relatively lightweight (I remember using it even at crappy airport computers).
> IMO, it's much better than using a screen reader with a screen-oriented terminal application (ncurses or the like).

I suspected as much, which is why I was thinking purely REPL/batch stuff. On the REPL end, I was thinking programming languages (Python, Lua, Lisp, OCaml…), and stuff like gdb. On the batch end, I was thinking utilities like grep or awk, compilers, or ImageMagick. In other words, stuff that would work well with a printer.

I personally have a concrete use case in mind: file encryption, and password manager. I intend to write a first version for the command line, because it will be smaller and easier to write. Then I may do GUI versions. I was wondering to what extent the accessibility of the GUI version even matters, considering how simple the command line version would be.
Yes it is true. Influenza and HIV viruses’ mutate very quickly such that one year’s vaccine may not work next year, hence why health professionals advocate flu shot every year. Most vaccinations will last for life time though. CDC and WHO analyze virus samples each year to determine virus mutation and antiviral resistance.

Though it is cruical to note that although vaccine is effective, immunity may not developed for a small percentage of population. But please don’t risk your life - I highly suggest go for vaccination. Hong Kong has the worst outbreak this year as the public has low awareness of flu shot, forcing primary school students and below to go on holiday early. Hong Kong’s neighbor, Macu, with high population density, has the highest vaccination participation - has much fewer cases.

Lastly, please make sure you are getting quardrivalent flu vaccine (aka four-flu shot) which covers all four types of flu; some years ago flu vaccines only cover three types (it was a “gambling game”). In the US you shouldn’t have to worry, but double check; outside of the Us please triple check...

ICQ’s find a friend feature got me into contact with someone in south africa (I’m from europe), who I ended up visiting for a month.

It’s the sort of random encounter / friendship that you could have in the pre-2005 internet and that’s much harder today.
If you have such additional data, yes.

In the general case (e.g. hosting a simple website where you strip user identifiers and the last octet out of the nginx logs) it becomes no PII then.
I agree with aerovistae and I found the plot of Player of Games particularly weak.
Watching the protagonist winning the game thing didn't feel satisfying. It's hard to get excited about a game you cannot understand because it isn't explained. And the big "surprise" regarding a certain character towards the end was lame. It surprised me, a little, only because it seemed too obvious so I expected something more clever.
That said, I liked the book because of the Culture.
Yeah, I prefer working with the person 10 times more than selecting only based on a test.
Yes, I did see the readme and I do remember thinking "so does this means it runs on Windows as well?". It's not unheard of for linux-specific projects to simply ignore the existence of Microsoft world.

So I cloned the repository and opened up nuklear.h. If this library supports Windows, then CERTAINLY this file has to include "Windows.h", somewhere, right? Uhm.. no, it does not. Bad sign, I thought.

So, still confused, I thought "so let's look into this folder called "example". I look into canvas.c and I notice "#include <GL/glew.h>". So I thought "Oh dear, this is gonna be a bother to compile on Windows, forget it". As luck would have it, I never looked into the folder called "demo".

So at that point I honestly believed that this library was only sort of "semi-supported" on Windows, as often happens with these kind of projects. You know, the usual "if you're a bit of a masochist and you're willing to muck around with mingw and download glib.tar.gz stuff, you may get this to work". The fact that the GUI has a definite linux look reinforced that impression.

What I'm saying is, all my confusion could have been solved by just one line in the readme explicitely stating "this builds on Microsoft Windows using Visual Studio and a direct X backend, etc...". A little bit of redundancy, it helps sometimes.
I would have assumed it's just because it's a multiple of the current 12V (so you could use shortcuts like wiring 4 existing 12V lamps in series)
I think the main reason is because Windows XP included a basic MSN Messenger client enabled by default in 2001.

Indeed, ICQ was vastly superior. In fact, in my opinion, many of its features (such as the discovery features) have not been equalled since them. It was quite traumatic to me when it was replaced with MSN Messenger.
For a while, imo was meebo's successor, but they saw the writing on the wall for third party interoperability after Skype cut them off for the nth time and decided to focus on their own walled garden chat and Twitter service instead :(
And it misses the important question: “what is your 1-3 year plan for when new web assembly GUI frameworks make 75% of your knowledge obsolete?”.

There's plenty, like a lot, of shale oil available at $80-100/bbl, which allows for significantly less than $10/g gas.

The only meaningful challenge to $10/g gas is policy (ie taxation).
So what? Maybe you're wrong. Maybe someone more smart and pedantic than even yourself can put an adjective between underscores that blows you out of the water and makes you question what you even think underscores as emphasis even means. That's when you have him.

True.

I've never been asked these kinds of "knowledge" questions in any interview. Nor have I asked them of any candidate. To me, interviewing is more about finding a fit to the company's and team's culture, than to ascertain if a candidate knows what she is supposed to know. Even if a candidate succeeds in bluffing her way through an interview, she will fall short in the one-month trial period.

I like the one-month trial period. I've walked away twice during the trial period from a company because they were a lot less organized than they did appear during the interviews. Similarly, we have let go of a couple of employees during their one-month trial because they were unable to learn fast enough or were too arrogant.
This doesn't change anything GP said — the Denso/Toyota code running in the ECU is literally impossible to test or review. Safety mechanisms and watchdogs are faulty and not operational.

This is not the kind of code that should ever have full authority over a 250 kW drive system, even less so with humans in and around that system.

If I remember correctly, the original GoF book was inspired by patterns in architecture [1], so it's more about naming patterns they have often seen, and not about "if you use these patterns, your code will be better". It's a glossary of sorts, so developers can use the same words for things. This aim is independent of language and paradigma; the authors just happened to see mostly OOP.

However, just like Asdfbla said: People started to use it as a kind of manual and applied the patterns no matter the problem. Again, the problem is more the people than the idea...

One thing I quite liked about the sandbox is running marginally (un)trusted code either interactively or as part of some process, and for that sandbox-exec(1) is great. Security best comes in layers and it's a worthy addition to the toolbox.

It's used by homebrew[0] during the build steps, I hear it's in progress for Nix, and I may make use of it in the future for archmac. Unfortunately it's been marked as deprecated in the man page:

>> This basically assumes that there's a tree of UI objects in memory, which is the case for all mainstream toolkits as far as I know.

This is also the reason why they are a pain in the butt to use, at least from the perspective of an IMGUI advocate. Those people usually have a game development background, so they're used writing bespoke solutions for everything.

Statelessness is a strength but also a big weakness, I doubt IMGUI will ever catch on its pure form. However, tools like React provide a fairly similar experience and they do produce object trees usable for screen readers. The missing piece here is something like a lightweight DOM for C/C++ projects.
"Introducing Skype Lite
Built for India - Chat and share with friends."

it appears to exist only for Android phones.

It's nothing but a joke that you'd have to switch to a "lite" version that is built explicitly for India [because of bad infrastructure] just to make it work in a country with much better infrastructure.

It's like buying a low-end car built for Indian market, because your regular car doesn't fit on the narrow roads in the US, the fuel consumption is too high, it leaks oil constantly and there is no service because nobody cares.
I'd don't get it .. why are these palettes worth using above others? I'm not trying to be controversial .. I'm confused.
With all due respect, I take the opinion of neuroscientists on the hard problem of consciousness as seriously as I'd take the opinion of a Zen master on issues in neuroscience.

The fact that neuroscientists might one day deliver an explanation of the soft problem of consciousness (i.e understanding exactly how the brain works and the exact correlation of every state and process to the corresponding subjective experience) will not bring any of us one iota closer to understanding the hard problem. In this case, the fact that one does not recognise there is such a problem implies ignorance more than anything else.
In addition you need a lot of fast air exchange to prevent vapor from building up. So the prize of addtional infrastructure is on laser.
> In an ideal world, a normal conversation about the technology - your opinions, preferences and experiences regarding it - should be able to reveal what the interviewer needs to know.

Studying which opinions are fashionable this time is part of preparation for interview process :).

But more importantly, that kind of interview is strongly biased toward people who are charizmatic, great talker and biased against doers. Especially biased against those more on nerds side.
Ok, that's a limitation. What about the other ones you described? I wrote a bunch of sandboxed app, and it's good enough for a document based app (when working on a single document).

I’ve always used it for sincere intellectual curiosity and thoughtful conversation. My posts across all my accounts are more representative of that more than bad faith trolling. You can trace through it yourself.

Saying Bryan Cantrell has a massive ego isn’t such a massive or unfounded personal attack if I back it up with well-known evidence. He has a known and decorated reputation in the hacker community for having a massive ego. I mean, really?

Having a contradictory or aggressive opinion doesn’t make you a troll if you’re willing to continuously engage in the discussion in good faith. Trolls minimally engage and don’t add. I put effort in my engagement and I try to add to the discussion.

My treatment on hacker news has been unfair and I think your handling has been heavy-handed to the point of censorship. That being said, thank you for de-shadowbanning me. It shows you care.
The Repat Start Up Mentorship Program in Armenia
Keanu Reeves in the former, Willem Dafoe in the latter. I'll give both a whirl, thank you.

From what I can tell nobody brought up David Cronenberg either. I liked his works [1] when I was younger (not sure if I still would now). I especially liked eXistenZ, but also Videodrome, The Fly, and Scanners.

I just started binge watching The Man In The High Castle and it exactly underlines my statement in my previous post: great storyline (IMO), but not depending much on CGI. I think if the story lacks, all you got going for it is CGI (or not if there is none). CGI may impress you when you're still young, but as you grow older you see through the façade. Especially when its overdone. Because older movies lack it, and therefore are rather limited (take for example old Star Wars which heavily used costumes, models, and camera tricks). It might feel a bit dated, if not just from the hair models. Yet sometimes the nostalgia hits the nail (such as in Black Mirror's San Junipero episode). Not exactly sure why. While I'm thoroughly enjoying The Man In The High Castle series my partner hates anything related to WWII so thats yet another series we cannot watch together.

Due to demographics and inflation, you will certainly pay more into it than get out of it. Which means both social and Medicare are just welfare programs restricted to the old. Watch both become more and more means tested as the divide between haves and have nots grow wider. And the old vote in huge proportions so no one is taking away their benefits.
This is pretty nice, anyone know of something similar for iOS?
In most cases, I think they are a solution waiting for a problem. Let the code grow organically at first and see later if a design pattern helps make it simpler, because we humans are terrible at predicting things, moreso the abstract ones.

But getting lost in a sea of abstraction is easy, it makes you a better architecture astronaut than the one that's sitting on a Tesla now on the orbit listening Bowie's music. Looks good, makes you feel an expert, but really it's almost as bad as selling snake oil.

We programmers, as a whole, should have a code of ethic conduct and a better moral ethos.
And that audio that is played when you select one... i dont get it.
I have the same issue with the web app (using an iPhone). What I figured out is, that you don't need to unlock the screen to make the web app reconnect. All you need to do is switch on the phone (without unlocking), so just give the home button a little tap and 2-3s later the web app is reconnected. Not a great solution, but well...

Header only means you don't have to modify your build system at all, and C++ build systems nearly all suck. A lot. (Only exceptions I've found are Meson and QBS.)

Though I agree a single header and single .c/cpp file is another good option and solves the compile time issues of throwing everything in the header.
I love the technique of catching misdeeds via subtle statistical traces that the bad guys leave. It is extremely hard not to leave a statistical signature when you do something bad repeatedly. You leave tracks you have no idea you're leaving. And since it does seem likely that there's a lot of de facto insider trading, I expect there will be more studies of the type described in this article.

As Ken Thompson [1] (the one from Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie (Unix & C)) was one of the original authors of Go, I think it is safe to use the Golang Origins FAQ [2] as a source to answer this question.

> Dependency management is a big part of software development today but the “header files” of languages in the C tradition are antithetical to clean dependency analysis—and fast compilation.

That might be a reason to limit the use of header files to single file. In addition, I think that it is meant to make the adoption of the library easier.

In this context, it means "easy to enable, but if the child process does not handle errors correctly, it might be confused by all the pledge violation errors it gets for syscalls that used to always work". This is a bit unfortunate, and requires a implementor to apply a bit of elbow grease.

It specifically does not mean "hard to get right so that the intended security level is achieved". Such a scenario would be problematic.
Thing is, at that point I'd be worried about the mic as well, as you point out.

Better safe than sorry!
1. It's almost certain that the speed increase you'd get from intentionally merging a lot of source files into one is less than what you could achieve with a more intelligent profile-based refactoring approach. I wouldn't have a very high opinion of the approach you describe, not knowing any more about those libraries or their authors' motivations.

2. Read a lot of C code written by people like Sean Barrett. You would just pick up a lot of bad habits from mine. :)
Two sides to this coin as well: I'm baffled that what was previously called linear algebra is now called "AI", but it has also emphasised to me how much I need to get better at linear algebra...

> “Hey, what’s this?” asks the first guy. “I dunno, probably a toy … or a religious object,” says the second.

> Archaeologists have long tended to choose the second option

One of the many reasons archaeology frustrates me. If you can't figure out why somebody built something in the past, its always for ritual reasons, rather than more mundane reasons.

For example, I went to Chichen-Itza last week. If something happened, and all the street vendors' stalls were abandoned, it's almost certain that archaeologists of a thousands years in the future would conclude that it was a major religious pilgrimage site, of a culture obsessed with miniature pyramids, obsidian miniatures, marble chess sets, and brightly glazed ceramic skulls. What they would make of the multitude of ceramic phallic hash pipes, I'm not sure I want to speculate about...

'Oumuamua: 'space cigar's' tumble hints at violent past
When we get closer to the reality that a game like Grand Theft Auto or something runs in your browser without audio hitching, asset streaming and more, maybe this will make sense. 1-3 years though? Seems dubious.
I can only agree with that post. Sometimes I'm wondering though if this is just us techsavy people or the fact that I'm getting old and everything was better in the old days. Maybe the average person not working in tech prefers how this works today? Many times I'm already lost at the basic presentation of modern websites or apps. Big colorful landing pages that try to aggregate different data and events in an intelligent way but just seem like a jumbled mess to me, everything has to be dynamic and load additional data via ajax so that often times the back button doesn't work or at least makes sure the scroll position won't be restored properly... I could go on for hours. I guess I'm too old for that sort of nonsense any more.

I really want this to be true, however in our "not so ideal" world, many interviewers are just bad at interviewing or they are asking candidates more than what they really need, mean while not willing to pay higher price. In short, recruiters are trying to cheat the system too. So, fair world.
