I think the QA process isn't usually as pipelineable as you're suggesting. On a website it's often easy to QA changes that happen on page A at the same time you QA changes on page B. But in a game, especially one like factorio, it's probably a lot harder to find features that can be tested and deployed simultaneously with other features.

It would be easy to test changes to the design of Level 3 at the same time as changes to the design of Level 5, but it would be hard to test changes to the way inserters work at the same time as testing changes to the way conveyor belts work.
I also bought $25 for lulz and the path that worked for me (after MUCH frustration) was I used Cash App to buy BTC then I deposited it into Binance.US after which I bought DOGE using the app. NOT easy for noobs like me which means that most of the people buying are already "in the game".

I still have the set of 8 eneloops I bought a decade ago, and they still fulfil their duty. I wrote my name of them because I didn't want people to take them. It was one of those great purchases I never really stop to think about.
Wouldn't that, basically, guarantee the short squeeze, though? If people can't access their broker, they can't sell.

Or can Robinhood start liquidating their customer's positions without authorization?

I do not agree with the quoted train of logic in the context of an antitrust suit. It leads to the conclusion that X (Facebook) should wage an antitrust lawsuit against Y (Apple) in order to achieve an outcome that would help tame the growth of Z's (Amazon) market position.

If the United States feels that Amazon is an anticompetitive company, then that position should be litigated in and of itself.

It's understandable that Facebook feels righteous in filing a proxy lawsuit for its advertisers. They've had their hand in the cookie jar of so many internet transactions for so long that they cannot imagine the horror of not knowing about any of them.
There’s also the issue of internal versus external. I’ve always been off the mindset that you never have to apologize for your feelings, but you should comport yourself so that you never have to apologize for your actions toward yourself or others.

Feelings are tricky to control even after you’ve noticed them, and maybe even after you’ve evaluated them. Therefore spending energy on them is not always judicious. However, every action is a choice, and letting your feelings drive you to doing something regrettable is, well, regrettable.
I doubt any defense will be needed. Capital for this kind of risk will never be available again.

It is true that PHP has a bad reputation and that effectively limits number of potential skilled developers.

Number of available developers is still high but it could be even higher if it had the same successful propaganda as JavaScript or Python.

There is nothing in the language itself that should stop it from competing with any general purpose language,
not anymore.

I think this is the next important step for PHP, have charismatic & humorous evangelist like Douglas Crockford.

Crockford’s missionary work was done during a time when JavaScript was in a big expansion because everyone wanted to write single page applications.

But today there is huge JavaScript fatigue and more and more developers have start to realize that server side rendering is (back to) the future for most of the traditional web, especially in a time where time to market has become even more important.

The constant churn of the JavaScript realm have now reached epidemic levels, a massive & relentless wave of deprecated and unsupported projects sweeps over every organization. Somewhere right now some poor developer inherits a Angular 1.1 project built with gulp.

I think also there have been a shift in regards to fullstack developers versus frontend & backend developers, many companies have woken up to disastrous idea of splitting frontend & backend developers into separate teams and now merging them again, as result the fullstack developer becomes more important. PHP is in my opinion best fullstack web platform you can use.

Say after me, No more build steps for rendering a paragraph, no more unhandled Ajax errors, no more REST JSON apis with only the frontend as consumer, no more reimplementing the database schema in JavaScript, no more asynchronous state rendering on the same page. <Insert Braveheart meme>
Don't worry about it. Googling has come to stay. There is a lot of skills related to identifying what piece of code is relevant for your purpose.

No skills are basically required. No one is expected to do a basic web app from scratch - heck - most IDEs has boilerplate for creating a web app.

For regular purchases, most large brokerages don't charge commissions these days on most purchases. Not a particular fan of RH but the fact that they don't charge commissions isn't any more of a flag than in the case of Fidelity.
I can't see this happening, why wouldn't investors just give them a bridge loan? They'd be insane to let their (massive) investment go to zero, when the alternative is an ultra-short term loan with basically no risk (the funds are just stuck at the clearinghouse as I understand it).

> Don't most brokers allow you to continue trading before settlement?

Hasn't that changed a bit though? I'm trying to recall what the policy change alert I got a few years ago. Something about you can buy shares with proceeds of unsettled sales, but if you sell the new shares before the previous sale is settled, your account can get flipped into some state where you have reduced trading abilities for a period of time. 30 days?

It was implied that "the SEC made us do it". I think it was meant to put the kibosh on day trading. You can still day trade, but your returns are cut dramatically by requiring a larger cash position.
Any broker that lets you immediately use the cash from a sale to buy something new is also doing the same deception.

If an account allows those, it is a margin account.
The language barrier is real... It would be nice to have these annotated with translations in references.
What’s more likely.

Customers regretting a bad trade use the hoary old claim a “glitch” to try to get broker to reverse it, post about it to try the ol social media shaming to ratchet up the pressure, and dozens of copycats do same?

Or Robinhood decided to start driving GME price down with forced client sales to make the DTCC increase their collateral requirements and force them into bankruptcy so they can end this madness?

What does Occam say?
Pretty much every broker does that when you buy stocks too. I think most securities settle T+2, which means that you are not the owner (and cash hasn't gone out of the door) until 2 business days after the transaction. But the broker will show your account debited immediately and will add the stock to your portfolio in the UI too. It's well intended but misleading.
> dev recruitment is hard.

No way. It is pretty easy. To be fair it is harder in the Bay Area than let's say Europe, but it is still a non-issue. Also, the language is extremely easy to pick up, everyone is able to understand the code. This week for example I 've had an ios dev that is using Obj-C/Swift just dig into the code themselves to get clarity on an endpoint's execution.

> dev retention is hard.

Never really had an issue there.

> hard to find people that write clean, modern, performant PHP

This also has not been a problem in the past few years. For context, I 've had multiple devs excited and pushing to start using new PHP8 features, already (and I had to be the boring one and ask to wait for hotfixes, a version .1 or .2 and see
how stable and secure 8.x is first).

> It does not enjoy the best reputation as a language.

This is true. I 've met people who refuse to even look at PHP code, even though they are paid to do so (they might even refuse at the detriment of their peers). I 've never seen a "this is beneath me" attitude with any other tool or language before. (except perhaps the hate SQL databases got in 2015-2016)
So yeah, the hate runs deep.
The 10x Email Finder Hunter UI and API
I don't think I've ever been able to write software without an API reference, and I've been at it since the (late) 1980s. I guess it depends on what you're Googling. Sometimes I can work out a way to do something, but what I really want is the idiomatic way to do it. No way to get there but to look it up. Or I need to know some specific fiddly bit about how a function behaves. That's a reference lookup. If I'm Googling "how to reverse a linked list" ;-(, well, that's maybe not so great.
By windows, I really meant visual studio at its peak.

I get FB's argument, but I have little sympathy. Apple doesn't sell user data unlike FB.
Wall Street was taken by surprise, but that has already passed. When the dust settles and chips are counted, I think the score is something like:

5% of WSB made money, 95% of WSB lost money.

95% of Wall Street (late comers) made money 5% lost money.

100% of those who lost more than they can afford are WSB 'Misfits'.
No it doesn't. Antitrust comes down to if there's harm to the consumer from the behavior of the company. If Apple's tracking is sufficiently different than Facebooks (because one is a hardware and services company collecting data to improve the hardware and services and the other is selling the data for ads), then it's a false equivalency to group them together.
> They're still short roughly 100% of float.

My overall point is that looking at the float is almost meaningless.

Days to cover is arguably a more important figure (how easy is it to buy / sell GME? Since GME has such high volume in the past few days, its not really hard at all to find shares right now).

You're right that the borrow-rate is also important to look at, but the short-float doesn't necessarily correlate with the borrow rate. You absolutely can't state facts like:

> With this much short interest the borrow fee must be close to 100% APY.

That's... just not how this works.

EDIT: I looked up some public information: https://iborrowdesk.com/report/GME

Seems to be 35%/year right now for GME shorts. If a GME short borrowed at $300, the stock price needs to fall to $200 by 2022 before they lose money. Do you really think GME can be propped up above $200 for a whole year?

If they short sold months ago at lower borrow costs, they've basically would be in the position to wait it out longer than most bulls who are just messing with 3-month call options.

> There's really no good way to wait it out for the shorties.

Selling ITM calls (and maybe hedging slightly by buying an OTM call) seems to be the obvious bear trade that would be doing well under these circumstances. The theta on these call options are ridiculous. That brings theta over to your side.
If you do a clean install, you’ll find that you are asked to opt-in to all the services that collect personal data.

You may not remember it, and I think that some of the opt-ins persist across device restores, but all the data collection is through explicit opt-ins.
The very high and very speculative participation by retail investors is scaring me. I'm reminded of the story of the hedge fund manager who was getting a shoe shine, and the shoe shine boy was giving him stock tips. He closed out his positions and correctly called the top of the bubble[1]. I don't know if the story is true, and it is just an anecdote anyway. But historically this kind of activity does mark the end of bull markets.

At the same time I keep hearing that the stock market is actually undervalued on average given current interest rates - and those aren't going to change anytime soon.

Definitely things are frothy and there are bubbles in some stocks, but maybe this market still has legs - at least while the fed is buying 120 billion of debt each month.

It's a big step from agreeing to use UK sites as part of "Best Reasonable Efforts" to the EU having the right to recieve certain manufacture from UK sites.

Anyway, as I said: it's totally irrelevant as no amount of litigating the contents of their contract will get them what they want. They want doses that are inside the borders of a third country. That third country also has designs on those doses the EU is not in their good books.

It requires a political solution, not a legal one - but try telling the commission that, apparently.
I agree, that's a much better way to learn it. I've also had no problem teaching people the game without the manual.

Lastly, the "new player" card pack that comes with the game works well to get someone up to speed and competitive quickly (and is an idea other games could afford to learn from).
Are Children “Persons”?
Well I don't want to say positive things about financial risk models, but it does make sense that they flash higher risk when the price has moved so much.

Basically, if I'm lending you money to buy something and that thing is suddenly moving a whole lot more than it used to, it's prudent to ask for more collateral to cover your potential losses.
It really hasn't. Most of the shiny new features that Chrome pushes are actively objected by both Mozilla and Webkit teams.

As in, what ashift value do you use with zfs?
It's not "just faster".

No one's using "gamer NICs" for high speed networking. Top of the line "gaming" networking is 802.11ax or 10GbE. 2x200Gb/s NICs are available now.

Gaming parts are strictly single socket - software that can take advantage of >64 cores will need server hardware - either one of the giant Ampere ARM CPUs or a 2+ socket system.

If something must run in RAM and needs TB of RAM, well then it's not even a question of faster or slower. The capability only exists on server platforms.

Some workloads will benefit from the performance characteristics of consumer hardware.
Almost no one charges commission these days.
Here's what you can do:

Clone a project that you respect a lot; it could be a library, a framework, or a database. Anything.

Go into that directory and type:

git log --reverse

Then, for the first ten to fifteen commits' HASH, do:

git show HASH

Do it for many projects that matter and that are useful and popular. You'll find one thing in common: the structures in the "initial commit" are most likely long gone.

Obsessing about getting things right in order to get started makes prevents you from getting started and getting things done. This is a malady.

None of what you are obsessing about matters or will survive.

You want to start? Write a text file where you explain what your code does, then write the code that does it. If you are writing a library, give usage examples of the API. Shop it around if you're building it for others [does this make sense to you?]. Then write the backend to make that API real.

But, a great way to start is to write code snippets and functions that do what you want, put them in a utils file, add to it, and then refactor it.
It's something that I'm mildly interested in because 1) finding the same thing on the Internet again is not always easy (the answer can be buried somewhere in the search results, the site rankings change)[1], 2) going to the web browser can be distracting, 3) there are the odd situations when you don't have Internet connection.

So here's my attempts. I store some annotated snippets in Joplin (could probably use org-mode or similar). I also collect programming ebooks and PDF'ed docs: sometimes you can still find them, sometimes you can 'print to PDF'. No idea how one would do it with javadoc for example.

The problem is interface for searching this stuff locally and reading. I use recoll for full text search and qpdfview for PDF viewing (the main reason is that it has tabs). Admittedly, this is not completely satisfying. Simple text search doesn't have the sophistication, PDF's feel less pleasant than web pages. Maybe something I could get used to if I went fully that route, but for now I don't feel compelled to do that (besides some experimentation).

My guess is that if you use a small language/libraries, or have a self-contained codebase, or do fairly rote things, it's possible to go without searching documentation. Otherwise... no?

PR Firms Are Doing These Things – You Can, Too
Depends on the broker. They publish their fees and the amount of those fees they share with the stock owner. Not all have loan fee share programs mind you.
The solution is this:

1. Apple iPhone needs to be an open platform. Users can install apps from wherever and don't have to go through Apple distribution. (But Apple can still provide this for convenience and discovery, and still charge a fee.)

2. Installing apps includes a strong permissions API. The filesystem, sensor access, GPS, etc. can be cordoned off and requires user intervention. Heuristics and isolation can prevent apps from sharing data for tracking/identification.

The reality is that Apple outgrew their platform and it can't continue to exist as a walled garden without being a monopoly. They can't have their cake and eat it too. Otherwise Facebook has a case. Epic has a case. Etc.
AMD and SBUX just had earnings calls this week. They'll naturally have high volume and volatility.
RH can't win here: Previously they came under fire when a user committed suicide after the RH app showed a substantial negative balance due to an offsetting position that hadn't settled yet.

If they reflected it accurately they'd be showing a negative balance until the funds arrived and some users would think they lost all their funds.

The real mistake is that they're extending margin to uninformed and unsophisticated users. ... but pointing that out just brings accusations that it's gatekeeping or limiting access to people who aren't rich.
It feels like standing in front of semi-trailer hurtling towards the edge of a cliff.
You are right, it is rude, sorry. Will do better.
If you read the article you find that this is a bug in MinGW64 libraries.

It's not a compiler bug, it's not a problem in C/C++, or even in IEEE-754 floating point math. The MinGW64 thread library simply forgot to initialize the FPU correctly.

He'd have had the same problem if he wrote his code in assembly language and then ran it in a MinGW64 thread.
Apple trades an order of magnitude more per day than any of the stocks that were halted. So why are there no liquidity issues there but there are with the stocks that keep being halted?

Robinhood adds more trading restrictions, including on Starbucks and GM
Sounds like a case of tripping anti review bombing - scores don't normally turn on a dime from a large surge of reviews. This is one of the relatively few cases where it is "organic" in that it is a direct response of users to their actions and not a marketing effort from competitors. Even if you took all of the scandals which made the news and lead to legitimate negative reviews they would be a tiny sliver compared to the adversary attacks.
Nobody cares about the people who are "unsophistocated people who have bought into the frenzy", especially if they get screwed. Further, they shouldn't care about them because anyone who doesn't understand what's going on deserves to get whatever happens to them. Stock trading is high risk, high reward, and that should be clear to everyone.

The problem is that hedge funds constantly benefit from a much lower risk due to market structures designed to stabilize the market. Many of the WSB people are willing to risk a big large loss in order to reveal this flaw of the system. Many of them will not be fine, and, if they're successful, some hedge funds will be bankrupt and all of them will be scared moving forward.
Apple doesn’t sell user data, totally different than Facebook.
> This means that floating point arithmetic is non-associative. In that A + B != B + A.

The equation is the commutative property, not associative. IIRC addition in IEEE-754 is commutative.

The property that fails is (A+B)+C = A+(B+C).
Some are already rich. Many get rich for unknown reasons while in office for decades. Hmmm. The pay is terrible for that level of responsibility and power, so rampant corruption is to be expected.
If it doesn’t every Robinhood trader will have their account locked, and will only ever get paid a fraction of its value years from now.

While that is more than fair for WSB traders who caused this mess, there are likely many hundreds of thousands of innocent customers who may have not bought one share in GME getting the same punishment.
This isn't it's own runtime. It's a modified JDK and when you're one of the largest pieces of GUI software in Java, you're obviously going to have things you want to change in it.
