Using sophisticated signal processing (which has been standard for ages at this point) gets you some gains, sure; but it's not magic and high field systems have better resolution.

Worth noting: A lot of the focus on advanced signal processing has been focused on scan speed, and main field strength and homogeneity is only one factor in resolution. You need high quality gradients too, the finer the resolution the more precise everything has to be set up or you are just smearing the signal around in space.

Just the opposite, we adopted a set of rules that we call the Very Simple Market (tm) (yes really). We have reduced the types of orders and removed all hidden liquidity. This isn't the best trading venue for all kinds of traders, but we do believe it is superior for certain investors who have a long-term orientation.

For people saying this is just the iPhone and I can always buy from a different OEM, it's not about my individual choice.

Say I am a mobile bank or some other kind of service that needs to reach all my customers on mobile.

There are significant populations across the world on iPhone, so to stay competitive as something like a challenger bank, ignoring iOS is simply not an option.

If the argument is that Apple provides payment processing, this is not a benefit as it's the only option, i.e. does not win on the merits.

As for game consoles, they're not essential. Smartphones are.
NMS shares can trade on any exchange, but there is still a primary listing exchange. They're mainly (AIUI) responsible for publishing data on various administrative minutia such as the handling of dividends and splits. I imagine most of LTSE's attraction to companies is enhancing the perception of only accepting listings from companies with a long-term view

Much like as an investor you'd think twice before purchasing an OTCBB share today, or perhaps 30 years ago pay more attention to the difference in listing requirements between Nasdaq and NYSE, I think that's what's intended here

> Yup, really. Classes are just higher order functions, which accept arguments (constructor) and return a list of functions that can manipulate those arguments (methods).

Nope, really they are not. Rather, objects are run-time, publicly accessible environments (bindings of names to slots).

Since functions also have environments, we can come up with some contrived use cases whereby a rigorously encapsulated OOP example revolving around a class that is sealed against extension and uses no inheritance or other OOP mechanisms is nicely mimiced by a vector of functions that share the same environment.

But imitating some facets of a thing is not being that thing. A dog standing on hind legs isn't a man.

A more fully featured OOP can be built up, which yet keeps using lexical variables for slots. Public access to slots by name can be implemented by having a standard function supported at the same position in the function table, which takes a symbol argument, and switches on it to map it to a variable in its environment.

Providing possible implementation mechanisms for thing is also not being that thing.

We can easily reverse this, too, and claim that functions are just objects. Compilers for lexical closures do things like flatten the environment into an array in which items are accessed by position. So, first class functions are, under the hood, nothing but code, plus an array, in machine language. And since data structures are also some code offsetting into arrays, it's all the same.

You know, the moment I saw a NAND gate schematic, my mind opened to an amazing revelation: we don't need both zeros and ones, just zeros and NAND gates! The number one is nothing but a zero, duplicated into the two inputs of a NAND gate.

Unfortunately with encrypted mail like ProtonMail you can't setup email filters that act on the contents of the email; only the headers. This makes it harder to keep organised and fight unwanted mail so I've gone with fastmail
I understand the amusement value of this quote, but I never quite understood what is so poor about a tuple of functions closed over same data into a closure. Apart from inheritance, what does it lose. In fact its good that it loses inheritance. Syntax of many OOP languages makes it way too easy to use inheritance -- common things ought to be easy and potential design mistakes hard.

That's a very fair question. Web apps made by providers are definitely several steps ahead feature-wise, because standardized protocols take a lot of time to evolve. My hope with Mimestream is to strike a middle ground here, by using the Gmail API to support more of the Gmail featureset, while retaining the ergonomics of a native client.
Improve the culture. Processes, tech stack, productivity, these are just tasks. If there is a culture of continuous improvement then those tasks are always being improved. Better is not a destination, it is the journey.
Now do one for consumers, where they can:

1) See when a price is localized, and how it differs in each region, and

2) Choose to pay in whichever region they prefer.

If the seller can hop between regions, it's only fair the buyer is able to do the same, right?
I don't know about Proton, but right now I cannot think of anything missing from FastMail that exist in Gmail -- they even support label now. The clients are better than Gmail, IMO.
There is some renewed interest in low field scanners. Past four decades have mainly been pushing for higher fields to improve SNR. But low field has a few advantages:

- no need for superconducting magnets. This is a big win for developing countries and portable systems.

- better geometric accuracy. While not an show stopper as it can be corrected for, but low field exhibits better geometric accuracy as you move away from isocenter, which is of extra concern with e.g. radiotherapy applications.

- more patient comfort as lower field strengths need less strong gradients thus less chance for PNS (involuntary muscle twitches due electric fields induced in the nerves)
Looks great! Given how bad Gmail is on iPad Safari and how bad the Gmail iPad app is there is probably a market there if you port.
Yes, I hope so. I think if and when that happens, it'll be pretty big news. I don't think you'll miss it.

Right—garbage collection makes most software engineering significantly easier.
Yes, but as a programmer if you had the source code and the inclination you could still make modifications to suit your needs.
It means that the "rich" man has objects and closures, for the situations where each one is the best fit.
It shouldn't be because it will work with normal files just fine. E.g. if you want to image a disk, `dd if=/dev/sdc of=sdc.img` and silly things like `dd if=/etc/passwd of=/root/~passwd` work too. Also it has a convert function so it's not strictly just for duplication.
It's a cool idea, and I'm sure everyone gets a pleasant jolt when they make the connection (I sure did), but you probably already understood this idea at some subconscious or conscious level in order to get anything nontrivial done with a functional language.

It's one of the first things you're taught if you are learning a functional-at-its-roots language. Not JavaScript, which is mixed-paradigm at its roots. For me it was Scheme in college.

If you're learning a functional language, combining closures and functions that return functions to carry around "instance fields" and "instance methods" is what you learn right after you've gotten over the basics like map/filter and tail recursion. The equivalence of this pattern to classes is something you'll understand intuitively, even if you haven't put words to it yet.

R has always been relevant and isn't going away any time soon. The language is ugly and flawed and has a bunch of quirks and gotchas but there are just too many libs.

Also for a lot of people R is going to be the first and often only language they're going to learn because they have no use for programming outside of statistical analyses and it's damn practical for that single use. Right now generations of students are being taught in R, right now bioconductor is booming and being added to everyday. That stupid arrow assignment operator has plenty of good years ahead of it.

Yes, all of our listed securities will be available in regular brokerages. If your current broker allows it, you can even ask them to direct trades to LTSE as opposed to another exchange. Although most retail brokerages do not allow customers do specify this, a few do.

It seems strange to me that someone would want a different back end for an Android app as opposed to an iPhone app unless for some reason those apps were completely different.
Echoing what somebody else said, "open for business" feels a bit disingenuous from a retail investor perspective as there is no place to trade stocks, no sign up, no stocks listed etc. A more restricted announcement (read directly to companies) would probably have been a better idea to gain that critical mass.

For reference, whenever Uber/Lyft "open for business" in a new city, they don't just flip the switch to enable the app in an area. They work towards gaining a critical mass of drivers to ensure reasonable quality service levels, incentivize drivers to stay online as rides trickle in etc.

Or is this the "Lean Startup" approach to get a feel for the reception of the idea though I'd imagine that was done before you got started on building the product :)

Overall, I am very excited for what you're building and will watch out for more substantive updates! It is super cool that your team is working on challenging the status quo in an unconventional manner.
Fair enough, it is more complex than I stated. Though there is still an opportunity cost; if that money were not being spent on this, it could be spent on other things, or given to taxpayers. I'm just pushing back on the idea that things are "free" when the government pays for them, but costs don't go away just because they are paid for by the government. It's a pedantic point though.

> Markets are human artifacts; the market is an emergent behavior.

If "the market" is a 2d array of 1 and 0 that emerges from a cellular automata, then "markets" are the rules for that automata. The human artifact defines the rules and incentives that cause the emergent behavior seen by aggregating all market participants.

There is no Platonic ideal "markets" independent of the human structures where they operate any more than you can define how fast a pendulum swings without specifying its length.

Great initiative! how do you plan to attract buyers and sellers to create a meaningful and transparent exchange.
Yes, there are incentives. But I object to your characterization of doing the right thing as "good boy points." Acting ethically and treating people right is its own reward _and also_ has been repeatedly shown to lead to outperformance.

Our exchange works differently than the legacy players, so I don't really understand your last point.

A large chunk of the book is anecdotes about the people who worked with Mr. Kernhigan, most of which are delightful. I highly recommend the book.

I'd sooner all children be created in a test tube, raised in government facilities, staffed by payed "parents" that are vetted as strictly as adopters are.

That won't happen: Parents will insist on raising their kids (with their DNA), their way, without any strict oversight, or societal interference. The "essential service" is as much about the desires of the parent, than the desires of society.

And as for "society as we know it" - what if I don't care for society as we know it?
Maybe I'm confused by this particular example, but what languages would allow functions to store the value of the constructor like that without closures? The thing I don't like about closures is that they can get messed up easily, and not even all OO languages support them.

I often think of functions as intentionally "stateless", NOT persisting any value. For that a class is used, if anything for safety.
Great Initiative ! How do you plan to attract buyers and sellers for transparent exchange?
The article avoids directly addressing this, but I think is the real elephant in the room -- whether you have the right to web scrape for research.

The article says, "You might be able to use what you scrape, but it’s worth checking that you can also legally share it. Ideally, the website content licence [sic] will be readily available."

In practice, the data you want to scrape either has 1) no license/information about whether they are okay with you scraping it (and if they are okay with it, they usually offer the source data anyways), or more commonly they 2) strictly prohibit it in the terms of service, in which case it's not clear whether a scraper which mimics a browser falls under fair use.

It's an area where when you ask your university attorney, they exchange a few emails with you and then avoid making any decision. I think it's just because it's not well tested in court (at least when I encountered these situations), and depends on whether you'd be subject to a takedown notice or lawsuit.

I am not in the market for this, but would prefer a subscription model. Because a one time fee means the developer has to grow the sales constantly to keep receiving revenues. I think that gives the wrong motivation: adding features might be prefered to solving bugs. Or just stop working on it all together because the growth has stopped.
FZF is amazing and I highly recommend it as well, but this project seems to go beyond what FZF provides.

That being said I'm still not willing to switch to a non-standard shell syntax, too difficult to use third party servers after that.

Also un*x shells are inherently limited by the underlying concept of pipes exchanging only byte streams with no metadata or higher level constructs. You can hack your way around that (as this project seems to be doing) but it's always going to be kludgy. In particular you can't expect any third-party command to play by your rules.
Why can't we have a direct statement like "The web isn't getting slower", instead of click-baity question titles?
Yes, the major broker-dealers and market makers are members of the exchange. You can route orders to LTSE via your existing broker, just call them up and ask them to do so.

I believe Interactive Brokers, in particular, extends this privilege to all of their retail customers. But I don't have first-hand knowledge of this, just what I've heard.

USC Prof Removed After Students Said Chinese Word Affected Their Mental Health
I really believe that for commercial cellular in urban areas, 5G is more of a benefit for the carriers than the consumers. While low band spectrum (850MHz) has decent penetrating power, the majority of 5G is deployed at ~5GHz and mm-Wave frequencies, where you won't get much of any signal through a wall, or even on the other side of the building. This is why so many 5G base stations have to be deployed; the coverage just isn't as good. But the improvements in base station handoffs and spectral efficiency will increase a carrier's total capacity, even if the end user doesn't see a massive benefit.

There are scenarios where you might see massive speeds, though. 5G heavily leverages Carrier Aggregation, where a client can connect to multiple channels at once, increasing bandwidth, and beam-forming, where the "shape" of the signal is modified to steer maximum power to the physical location of a client. If you happen to be near a base station with good Signal to Noise Ratio while downloading something large, the base station can allocate multiple channels and use beamforming to finish your download at Gbps speeds and get you off the network faster, freeing up spectrum time for more users at lower SNR's and bandwidths.

There is potential for much more impactful deployment of 5G cellular in rural areas where there aren't many buildings or walls blocking high frequency signal. The same goes for point-to-point links such as inter-building WAN or low latency self driving car to self driving car communication.

That's an interesting idea (using e-ink for coding), but I wonder if the benefit would be offset by the loss of syntax highlighting. I wonder how effective it would be to re-implement it by using varying foreground or background shades of gray, or varying widths of stroke.

EDIT: After thinking about it, I imagine the software using these displays already convert color to grayscale for images in documents, etc. I imagine that conversion would work with pre-existing syntax highlighting. Oddly, I can't find images online of source code being displayed on e-ink.

I've been looking for a reason to get a reMarkable tablet. Maybe this is the excuse I need. Since root access comes out-of-the-box, it might not be too hard to set it up as a display for coding.

Then again, maybe a display like those shared in these comments would be more cost-effective.
