Man Group Alpha Tech | Quant Python Engineer | London, UK | Onsite | Full Time

As a Quant Python Engineer in Alpha Tech at Man you will be building the tools, frameworks, libraries and applications which power our Quantitative Research and Systematic Trading. This includes responsibility for the continued success of “Raptor”, our in-house Quant Platform, next generation Data Engineering, and evolution of our production Trading System as we continually expand the markets and types of assets we trade, and the styles in which we trade them. Your challenges will be varied and might involve building new high performance data acquisition and processing pipelines, cluster-computing solutions, numerical algorithms, position management systems, visualisation and reporting tools, operational user interfaces, continuous build systems and other developer productivity tools.

Our systems are almost all running on Linux and most of our code is in Python, with the full scientific stack: numpy, scipy, pandas, scikit-learn to name a few of the libraries we use extensively. We implement the systems that require the highest data throughput in Java. For storage, we rely heavily on MongoDB and Oracle.

We use Airflow for workflow management, Kafka for data pipelines, Bitbucket for source control, Jenkins for continuous integration, Grafana + Prometheus for metrics collection, ELK for log shipping and monitoring, Docker for containerisation, OpenStack for our private cloud, Ansible for architecture automation, and HipChat for internal communication. But our technology list is never static: we constantly evaluate new tools and libraries.

Alpha Tech has a small company, no-attitude feel. It is flat structured, open, transparent and collaborative, and you will have plenty of opportunity to grow and have enormous impact on what we do. We are actively engaged with the broader technology community.

o We host and sponsor London’s PyData and Machine Learning Meetups

Depends on the person. Some people say it is the same, some people feel that the Rift is still ahead. I do not own the Rift S or Rift so I cannot make grounded comparison but I can lay out some details:

1. Rift S has less screen door effect as it uses a different (better) pixel arrangement, however it has worse colors and cannot show true blacks like Quest can (OLED panel inside)

2. Rift S has a 5th camera for inside tracking which can/does help increase tracking range. That being said, I'd say Quest works really well and I do not feel the need for 5th camera.

3. Rift S is much more comfortable, if you get a Quest you can solve the comfort by putting a counterweight on the end of the strap, the change in comfort is incredible.

4. Some people report that they can feel a slight latency when using Link with Quest (some don't feel it)

5. Rift S has a slightly better refresh rate (80Hz vs 72Hz)

6. Quest has beta for hand tracking (using your real life hands in VR without a controller), it works decently and will open up new kind of experiences. Rift S apparently won't get this feature to keep compatability with Rift.

7. It looks like Oculus is focusing on Quest for the future, I wouldn't be surprised if their main headset in the future is "Quest" like rather than Rift like.

8. Quest can be used untethered. This is for me the killer feature for VR and when you start using it, it really makes a big difference. One caveat is that I do not have a "pulley" system so when I am tethered, the cable is always around and intrusive. You can even use Quest untethered for PCVR content by using a 5Ghz network and Virtual Desktop or ALVR (probably officially via Link in the future)

9. Quest with using Link is more performance intensive as it needs to encode the image and send it over the wire to the headset, Rift on the other hand just passes the image via cable to the display in the headset.

All of this being said, I'd say that for the vast majority of users, Oculus Quest is the headset to get. It allows you so much flexibility and capability that it is hard to advise against it. Lot of people think that being standalone is not a big thing for them, but when they get the Quest they realize they can use the Quest in the living room, on the porch, take it with them when they travel or as a party tool.

Developer tools internally proxies every request. The proxy interface it uses is a custom devtools protocol, and can't handle every part of http - for example, at assumes all post request bodies are delivered in one go rather than streamed.

It also uses the same single JavaScript thread to proxy the requests as is used for rendering the devtools UI, which can't be great for performance.

I found it an interesting deep dive into something completely esoteric that I have no prior context on. Reading original work by a domain expert scratches the same itch for me as learning about a cool hack. Although you'd think STEM subjects would be a better fit for HN, in practice you can't read e.g. an immunology paper without being a halfway decent biologist, whereas this was accessible without sacrificing any depth. Overall, I think broad intellectual curiosity is an HN-adjacent trait, and this post appeals to that.

I am not suggesting it’s an organised voting ring or anything like that but it is noticeable that any anti-Google sentiment that gets upvoted in European or East Coast hours gets pounded as soon as the West Coast wakes up.
Sounds like a Chromebook. However there is Linux App support now inside of a container... So you could run VSCode, Node and Yarn on a Chromebook now or install GIMP.
Is it just me that are wondering why they did not use AI to predict where AI is going in 2020?
Maybe they're already here...
Here goes my prediction:

1. The environment will go even wilder, creating unbalance across continents. Major migrations will take place into cooler regions. This will probably create internal conflicts in the host country and the rise of extremist parties and conservatives. People will be divided based on their interests and will be globally available while not knowing each other's neighbors.

2. AGI will not happen, but AI will be an integral part of human life, solving problems at speed and precision. More tech stacks will be developed that allows people and business to automate mundane tasks.

3. The world leaders will not work on climate change and the fuel prices will soar up. Alternative energy sources will not be the major player in the industry but rather a flex point for the riches. Amazon will lose up to 20% of its forest area, impacting the environment even further.

4. The economic disparity will create a social conflict across various regions which will ultimately create a huge shift of wealth to the general public. Thus, booming days are coming where people will be able to earn and spend on medical bills, education, and entertainment without going broke.

5. Technological advancement in distributed computing, AI and data science will allow businesses to solve, and create tools across several verticals. Thus there will be huge growth in the agriculture, manufacturing and processing industries.

6. Biotech will be the trending topic. Immersive VR will be a thing, where one can feel the things in the VR.

7. Display technology will change for the first time in later half of the next decade. There will be emersion of mixed display technology. Mobile devices will be the thing of the past, however, people would still be using it.

8. People will be even lonely.

9. Quantum Computing will enter the discovery phase and will be available to local publics too.

10. Web will have a rapid change and will be designed to support AR stack and VR stack.

11. Parallel computing and parallel algorithms will be mainstream and new kind of programming paradigm will emerge.

According to wikipedia, ALMC founder Lysander Spooner "considered government monopoly to be an immoral restriction".
Also according to wikipedia, he was a socialist and a member of First International.

Can anyone more familiar with US history and/or political science explain this to me? How can you be both a socialist and against government regulation of business?
You could argue that a state of war has existed since the Iranian Revolutionary Council approved the invasion of the US Embassy in Tehran, the murder of workers, and the taking of hostages.
I’ve heard that you provide your own IPSW, do you have a link to these docs?
Why? They are supported by pretty much every source out there. See e.g. EDGAR ( https://op.europa.eu/en/publication-detail/-/publication/9d0... ), or this slightly older data set from the World Bank: https://databank.worldbank.org/reports.aspx?source=2&series=... .

I'm not sure why you'd expect it to be otherwise. This is a per-capita figure, and carbon emissions are strongly correlated with income and purchasing power. CO2 emissions aren't driven by consumer goods production alone.

There's an adjusted metric that puts things into an even better perspective: https://ourworldindata.org/co2-and-other-greenhouse-gas-emis... .
I have a Brydge on my Pro V1 and iPad Mini 5 (the previous iteration of the Brydge mini) and they completely change how you can interact with them. Specially for the mini, which then becomes a very small laptop-ish. Very recommended products.

1) Significant increases in payment/banking technology (ease and speed of transfers, primarily) and the continued erosion of cash in society. There's too much low-hanging fruit for the status quo to continue. Cross-border transfers may continue to be problematic, for political reasons.

2) Continued improvements in VR will result in first-generation serious attempts to replace business flying with virtual meetings, by mid-decade. Serious adoption will start by the end of the deacde, as issues such as eye contact, body tracking, processing power, and sufficient network bandwidth are solved.

3) In the absence of regulator intervention or government initiative, a FAANG will begin to make serious investments in digital provenance / trust. Ultimately the value of network effects is undermined if new connections cannot be trusted. Initial attempts like Login With Google/Facebook/Apple, combined with a stranglehold over messaging, will morph into fuller identity-management products with implications for contracts, reputation checks, and more.

4) Increasing geopolitical instability will have no effect on global markets. Trade will prove to be the new nuclear bomb - MAD will prevent global powers from going to war.

5) Political pressure for economic solutions for the poorest classes will continue, whether for UBI, guaranteed housing, what have you. Aside from isolated experiments, no financial commitments by government will be made and economic desperation will continue. In the United States, cheap "bread and circuses" (food stamps and streaming) will continue to serve as an effective tamper on revolution. The private sector will continue to experiment with remote work, to deal with continually rising cost of living in urban clusters, but dramatic, industry-wide changes won't happen until VR advances materialize.

6) We will see a serious PaaS emerge for Kubernetes that is sufficient for 80% of LoB development, that will continue to bury traditional ops roles for most companies, and do more for NoOps than Lambda and similar FaaS.
This is starting to veer off track, but I am not overly sympathetic to “but your tool is used by bad people” arguments in cases where there are reasonable, general uses for the tool. Nobody goes after McDonalds because murderers eat there, too.
instead of magnet, what i used to do with ticking / corrupted drives was write full of 0, then write full of 1, then full of 0, repeat a few times. it takes frigging agents, but it kind of gets out all of the bumps in the magnetic material and smoothens it out again. fixed many broken drives doing that. ticking is often the read head getting dumped too much due to magnetic substance on the disk being piled up too much giving too much of a push to it. then the ticking will cause similar piles to form and get worse and worse.
China bans fishing in Yangtze River for 10 years
The future won't be the present with better stuff.

Instead, the internet will be mass rejected as a point of authoritative information. Something else is coming, an internet round 2 without all the bullshit.

Money will still be an insulation against climate change.

Africa will have trendy tourist friendly cities with large economic power (Kinshasa, Lagos)

This fascism wave will lead to something really awful, probably hastening the rejection of Internet v.1

Silicon valley will no longer be special and there will be a mass exodus of real estate capital and a rebuilding of the culture. The media will paint it as a recession, when really it'll just be prices no longer being stupid insane. Everyone will actually be doing fine for the first time in decades there.

Solar will be about $0.01-$0.02/kwh due to Swansons Law, beating every other power generation by significant margins. There will be common cheap large scale storage based on mechanical energy or some kind of newtonian physics (as in non electromechanical). It'll break down into stationary and portable storage.

The US will have a significant, unambiguously socialist political contingency spread throughout all layers of government. The third way dems will still be around, but nobody will be confusing the two any more. There will also be an openly fascist contingency without any precondition or restraint. They will openly advocate for genocide and an ethnostate and something like 1/4 of the public will be totally on board.

The electoral college will be rendered insignificant by a majority of the states electors having legislation to be committed to the candidate with the most votes. (see here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Popular_Vote_Intersta...)

A constitutional convention will be called by the same mechanism (ALEC is 85% of the way there). It will be a complete shitshow. Nothing will get done. It will collapse and nothing will come of it.

People will start building systems and communities that don't require significant money and capital, something like the 1871 Paris commune, where work doesn't really need to be done. The cult of the individual will collapse and thatcherism will finally die.

GDP will be fundamentally challenged as a mechanism of global financial bullying and some other metric, not based on economic growth, will take its place.

All these cybernetic marvels will happen but the human use of human beings will become more defended than ever. It will be viewed in repulsion, as some perverted manipulative vice to invade natural spaces with technotrash.

Something will cause the police of a city to go on strike. Crime won't increase, everyone will be fine. The defund/disarm the police movements might make some victories

This is because the boomers are drying, the gen xers don't care and the millenials and zoomers can finally build what they've been wanting

Yeah, seen a story that rising sea levels are threatening Miami but they are going on like normal and still building new condos and skyscrapers. Looks like a nice city though to visit or move too, I'd love to not have to wear my jacket and wear shorts more.
Hey Ctvo :) Happy new year!. Yes Gen 2 in the delivery space means that we have our own logistics platform. We deliver any local good or basically anything in your city in less than 60 minutes.
As far as I know, Corellium has hardware to boot an iOS image you provide and will provide you access to it. Some commenters have mentioned that Corellium downloads the image for you but I’m currently weighing it against hearsay from people who used it previously.

Can you elborate on why? I just adjusted your example to what trade deficit (as opposed to trade deficit with another country) actually means.
1. Self-driving cars are commonplace, but doesn't change anything except drunk driving goes down a lot
2. Major earthquake strikes West Coast, but doesn't change anything
3. At least one short recession
4. Putin drops out of power in Russia
5. Many famous people die of old age as the pop stars of the 60's and 70's reach their 80's and 90's.
6. India grows to the largest population country, Africa BOOMS 300%
7. 10 years worth of solar and EV progression happen, changing very little
8. The mob mentality finally causes some laws to be made around mob mentalities.
9. Carbon nanotubes/nanodes* are commercialized leading to the continuation of Moore's Law
10. Generation X takes control and we enter a long phase of apathy and minimal change.
Thank you pdx6 for your time :)

Happy new year!
