I remember the MMM ponzi scheme that was in a bunch of countries including Nigeria. When these things go south people always need an outlet to blame for denying them their free money they thought was coming and better if its a third party and not themselves or whoever duped them into investing. People were furious at editorials or government officials trying to dissuade others which may or may not have brought it to an end. Here its going to be the brokers fault for not being able to let people open more positions, otherwise it certainly would have kept going up and certainly at some point there would have been a price they were willing to sell at.
1) All accounts were banned from buying these shares, even ones whose accounts had cleared funds.

2) If margin requirements were the problem, why not inform the user that due to the unusual circumstances, the increased margin cost would be passed onto the buyer?
Are you sure? Modern clang and gcc both have auto-vectorizers. clang's is enabled by default.[1] gcc requires '-ftree-vectorize'[2]. For my use case, I've seen the most improvements with clang + openmp + polly, requiring code changes along with hinting. Good news if your analysis is correct.

As far as the article, I'm surprised Cache and Meshlets are 5% slower in 11 than 2.7. Some insight could be gained as to what caused this regression.

The NSCC formulas for this (I assume these are the relevant ones and if not that they're representative) are published. You can just go read them. I don't see where they say "if trades are made with customer cash and not on margin you don't have to account for them in the equity group collateral requirement". That also wouldn't make much sense; the clearinghouse protects participating firms from each other, not just from their customers.
What i do is not put secrets in files in my source tree. If secrets have to go in files, they go in files somewhere well clear of any source control tool.
My dayjob put something like this in our break areas, ostensibly to see if they had adequate seating or something like that. Urgh.

There's an issue tracker on that page, under tickets, but I'd prefer if you took a discussion to the attached mailing list first before it hits the official tracker.

As for packaging, that's my field of work for some projects I'm working on so it's not unfamiliar to me, the only problem is that the RNNoise upstream lacks releases, although there's discussion about something happening about that.
Maybe I am using the wrong terminology, but I am interested in whether this provides for zero-downtime deploys with health/readiness checks and rollbacks. This enables safe and non-disruptive deploys. It is a common feature of many software platforms.
>This is situational and opportunistic. It can change any day. In fact, managing an important app store is exactly one way to re-(un)-balance this relationship.

I agree. Sorting huge, multinational, publicly traded companies in friends and enemies list is so obviously bogus and immature that it baffles me that this is so prevalent.

Microsoft is not your enemy. It's not your friend (unless you're one of the shareholders). It's profit driven and amoral. They'll always line up with whatever they believe will maximize profits because that their entire reason for existing.

Apparently Microsoft decided that being more FLOSS friendly (after decades of trying to annihilate these projects, lest we forget) because they decided that it would favor them in the long run.

If they ever decide that they stand to make more profit by throwing the whole github ethos under the bus they will. A few people will make strongly worded blog posts that will reach the top of HN. A few employees might even quit and loudly slap the door on the way out. Then probably nothing will happen.

There's a bassoonist urban legend (possibly true) that Bernstein wrote the ludicrous high Fs in the West Side Story bassoon part so that one of his pals who played bassoon would have to be hired for the pit orchestra, because he was the only one around who could play that high.
You could still buy if you were short (close your position). And allegedly there's many more shorts than long positions.

As a tech worker in the US, the prospect of some form of a tech employee associatation seems like the right way to go.

- Employees are regularly screwed on misrepresented equity compensation

- Employees are expected to work uncompensated on-call shifts which vary from "doesn't affect me" to "impossible to function on" such as being paged once per hour for 1 week with the expectation to do it again in a weeks time.

- Employees are subject to highly opaque performance review processes that take into account employee performance, as well as what work they happened to be assigned - Some assignments may be incompatible with the companies expectation for a given role e.g. Software Engineers assigned to put together excel reports

- Employees may be asked to perform ethically or legally dubious activities where they may be held criminally liable ( see dieselgate, and to a lesser extent the 737 max ).

- Employees may be asked to work 80+ hours to hit goals which were underfunded or poorly planned (see CDPR and every other software project which misses a deadline)

This is a small list of reasons an industry employee group such as a guild/union/certification board/association could be a good idea. However very few of these items relate to traditional union activities. The thought of pulling in specific hires with specific union skills seems like either forcing a square peg through a round hole or just paying to support someone who will fill their time with activities related to "unions" to little employee benefit.
Less Than 150k Signatures Until CA Gov Newsom Recall Vote Happens
That is true, and maybe most likely what’s happened.

Just realized that DTCC changing the deposit requirements seems completely non-transparent and arbitrary (I agree it was a plausible reason in this case), abs could be used to help their friends in hedge funds that had shorted, out of someone paid them to do this.

The fundamental problem is that the stock market has substantial different rules, for example see after hours trading, which can be used to take margins away from unprofessional investors.
In their trademark guidelines they say: "Never use or register any trademarks that are confusingly similar to, or a play on, the OSI or OSI Logo." As a listed example it's unacceptable to say: "Open Source Project."

It's fair for the OSI to try and protect branding of FOSS as increasing user freedoms. I think ethical source licenses are doing the same within a broader human rights framework (others may disagree). SSPL on the other hand is decreasing freedoms without question, you can't start a competing service without onerous disclosures that have little do with the software in question. Other licenses in the same vein are even more explicit in their discontent of any contributions, but development is done in the open. It's fair to call the later "source available" which is an accurate representation of what they are doing or make up another name like the ethical source people did.
SGen Libre, A simple FOSS program I made to generate passwords offline on Linux
After discovering Hacker News, I thought I would share a program I made that I'm really happy with. As someone who takes privacy and security very seriously, I felt extremely uncomfortable generating passwords over closed source, online tools. That's why I created SGen Libre, which is designed to be a quick and convenient way to generate passwords on GNU/Linux without having to worry about backdoors of any kind.

SGen Libre works completely offline, and has no dependence on any third party services. It's written entirely in Python, and is properly commented with full documentation, making it easy for even those less experienced with coding to modify it to fit their needs. Unlike many existing password generators on Linux, I tried to make SGen Libre as simple as possible. While you lose the ability to generate passwords using it from the command line, you gain the ability to easily configure the parameters that will be used to generate your passwords in an easy to understand GUI interface. SGen Libre also comes built in a several tools that can be used to analyse basic characteristics of generated passwords, including length, unique character count, and how many other passwords share the length and number of characters as yours.

If you're interested in giving it a try, I would really appreciate any feedback you can provide!

If you use MacOS, you can also try SGen Desktop, which is a very similar program for MacOS (https://v0lttech.com/sgendesktop.php)
I'm not sure what the big deal about 'without cameras' is - I would imagine that most areas of a store are already covered by security cameras, so every customer is being recorded already.

The extra privacy-stealing step is in the identification of shoppers, and that is being done without cameras, using techniques like device fingerprinting (as the article says, some stores do this via their free wifi)
How does this compare to Google Web Toolkit?
> Now wait a minute, I’m sure you’re thinking. I’ve never proved sh*t about my functions. I’m betting that you have. And that you do all the time. You’re always convincing yourself that your function is doing the right thing. Yours may not be a formal proof (which may be what leads to some bugs), but reasoning about code is something that software developers do all the time. They’re playing the code back in their head to see how it behaves.

I sometimes try to point this out when arguing in favor of Formal Methods. You're already using informal Formal Methods anyway. Just write your reasoning down and make the computer double-check it.

"Oh the expense!" I hear them cry. But where's the spreadsheet comparing that with the expense of the faulty reasoning? Where is the Manhattan Project to lower the cost of logic?

You're only looking at longs.

If a broker blocks buying and the price goes down, there are real benefits to the holders of the shorts.

Hence the concerns of market manipulation.

The American right has spent the past 35 years inventing scary new names for the same nebulous concept of a Marxist horde threatening to prevent them from speaking honestly.

It’s been known as “political correctness”, “social justice warriors”, “wokeness” and certainly a bunch of other names. The fundamental premise doesn’t change because it’s rooted in some deeper fear.

It seems the root of things is that emotions beat thoughts, and personal experiences help deliver the emotional argument without having to directly argue the emotions.
You "not caring" shouldn't mean that everyone else should, or need to 'put up' with someone else being abusive. I don't need to put up with someone else's loud noise. I don't need to not be able to sleep (or my kids). Someone deciding to have a party shouldn't be a burden on anyone else.

In my area, we actually have a legal right to make use of our properties without being excessively inconvenienced by others; some of it is defined by bylaws (ie. noise bylaws), and other ways as well (federal, constitution, etc.) One example: local electric company had installed a new utility pole in a location such that the wires went over someone's pool; that family couldn't reasonably enjoy their pool because of it. Utility company argued they had easement access (granted by government) and could put their poles anywhere they wanted. Court sided with family and utility company had to move the pole(s) so that the wires routed along property lines.

Besides this, doing something this disruptive to other people's lives is very disrespectful of others. Of course in some parts of the world, 'individual freedoms' seems to take priority regardless of any situation, even when it means negative consequences for others.

And when I say loud, I mean F$#@ING LOUD - I walked by their house one of those nights, and it was near outdoor-concert-level loudness. Make your ears ring in pain loud. They were down the road from us, with some other houses/obstructions blocking some of the sound, and still even with that and the windows closed, we had to turn the TV volume way up in order to properly listen to shows while this went on. I can't imagine what it must've been like for their immediate neighbours.

As someone else here stated (they had lived in Japan), they could've easily have rented out a space somewhere to do this, that wouldn't have bothered anyone. Hell, even used their own basement instead - the properties had postage stamp-sized backyards, which could accommodate 15-20, maybe 25 people comfortably; they actually would've had more space in their basement to do it.
It was for a couple dozen different high volatility stocks.
While DTCC did not publicly confirm the amount, it did confirm that capital requirements were raised January 28. Given that numerous participants have publicly stated it was to 100%, that seems likely.

I think the margin stuff is pretty much a red herring. The customer's cash doesn't belong to Robinhood. Robinhood is required to provide its own cash as collateral, because it's ensuring the market against itself. Those collateral rules aren't just for margin purchases.

Would love to be corrected here if I'm wrong, but I'm not sure margin has really much to do with what's going on, and it seems to be most of what we're talking about.

Too deep. I don't like deep comments since it usually means its going nowhere. But assuming you are sincere in your effort to answer the question(Which question I have refused to answer ? I made quite clear where I stand as far as the RSS or the farmer protests are concerned.).

So once again, OP(not you unless you are alt!) said that RSS are religious terrorists because of their activities. Now as as i know they have not denoted a bomb which killed hundreds. But maybe the term applies because of some of their other activities like lynching(Though this happens to Hindus as well, do we then consider the other party terrorist. No answer needed. There would hundreds of comments while you divert away from answering :)

Here goes. One last hurrah

So do i label group of people as terrorists because of some of its members. NO.

No company likes to say "our clearinghouse doesn't trust us to settle our accounts". It makes them look unstable... as they probably are. I bet you, RH has been handing out margin the same way mortgage sellers handed out loans in 2007.
Lessons from 5 years of developing Academia: School Simulator
Great article, similar to a blog post I did recently.

This is a minor nitpick and shouldn't be read as an overall criticism of the author or this post, which is better than the one I did. However, I will note that non-infringement and title are, in fact, implied warranties in the UCC. I'm not sure why the author missed it.

Whether or not it is fishy, it is the literally, honest-to-God truth. Not only that, it is well-known within the industry. People have floated replacing the system with something that settles faster, but they haven't.

I wonder how much experience you have in the real world. All of us developers had this thought at some point.

I've seen terrible code with plenty of quick hacks on top of that, which was running very stable, because it was battle tested for years in production.

What do you think will happen when you refactor such code to a better design? All juniors would think this is the best way to get a stable codebase.

Reality is that you will introduce bugs by refactoring, not get rid of it. Writing code means writing bugs, no matter how pretty your code is.

This reminds me of some quote that "Junior developers write 1 bug per 10 lines of code, experienced coders know they write 1 bug per 10 lines of code"

In Germany Copyright (Urheberrecht) is always with the original author and can not be sold or given to somebody else. It can be inherited.

One can sell or give permission the right to publish, duplicate, whatever (Verwertungsrecht).

Writing a book on company time and money automatically awards the company the rights to publish, make money, etc.

Writing a book in you spare time with "work related knowledge" might award the company with a claim for buying (at fair value) the publishing rights.

If you write a bestseller on company time you might also be entitled to a compensation in addition to your payrole. (But always best to have a contract beforehand)

But on the whole Germany is in the Berne convention.

I understand what over leveraged means. This was /also/ an incredibly risky short to start. I’m not convinced that GameStop was ready to go out of business. Struggling, sure, pandemic and all that, and that would justify a put position, but the market also reacted exactly how it’s allowed to and called out a short positions bluff.

> I would define it as "current liabilities in excess of current assets"

I don't think this is a good definition.

If I have a $150 electric bill due immediately, no cash, and $200,000 of real estate I have a liquidity issue.

This despite the fact that my current assets far exceed my current liabilities.
oh whoops! I saw that error earlier and forgot to fix it. The idea was to replicate sublime text's feature for highlighting words with ctrl+d, but there is some kind of error for detecting when ctrl is being used as a modifier key in windows. I'm going to fix that later today and upload a new build. Thanks for the heads up

EDIT: problem should be fixed now. I have just uploaded a new windows build to the website and pushed the changes to master on GitHub. Tested it on my windows machine and it looks like the fix is working properly. Re-downloading the installer file and installing again should resolve the issue.
I don’t see that URN gets you anything. You’d be registering a namespace identifier for it, so it’d end up just being the difference between urn:secret-token:* and secret-token:*. Does the extra “urn:” help with anything? Doesn’t seem so to me.
Well sure AZ can claim they're not reneging on contracts, but it sure seems the EU disagrees. If AZ felt reasonably sure they would lose that dispute (i.e. that it were found that they were reneging on contracts), then they might as well decide to renege equally. Regardless, AZ is making a _choice_ to interpret this as not reneging and they might very well be legally found to be in the wrong. They could just as well make the choice to admit they are reneging and do the same on other contracts out of fairness and equality (as well as political expedience).

> The hangups seems to be if "Best Reasonable Effort" means includes invalidating contracts with other countries.

Honestly I don't understand how it possibly couldn't. At least not unless EU negotiators screwed up the contract. Otherwise AZ could simply just over-promise and then leave the EU high and dry. I mean that's basically what the EU is arguing is happening here. Of course the contract might not have been worded that way (e.g. in the case where it was determined that AZ were meeting its obligations), but I'm sure if this came up at any time during contract negotiations, then I'm sure the EU would have said that of course other contracts can't be given precedence over theirs. Also given that the contract seemed to treat the UK production as part of the EU for this very reason, it really really seems the EU would have meant for this interpretation.
