To be fair, That's nothing. High frequency traders have been on the order of microseconds for years. everyone trades under the assumption that the system is faster than it is. This is going to be an unpopulair opinion but wall street is esentially a government-like entity built by the elite. troughout history any scheme that destroyed market assumptions have been met by the SEC under the guise of protecting the fair, orderly and efficient market. No thought is given to actually fix design flaws in the open market. Just prosecute anyone who manipulates it incorrectly.

I wouldn't expect better performance, but you usually license software by node. Having it run on a shared server is an easy way for employees to share and work together.

Did they release the true information?

No. Like Bill Clinton, “they did never have sex with that woman”, which in a way of understanding is technically true.

Either the market flows with honest information or it is being rigged.
Patiently waiting for my T-Beam to arrive so I can try this out.

This is an open source alternative to the popular GoTenna devices and if any HNers can point me to other options in this space I'd love to try them all out.
It makes sense if I sell you the software and the rack space but you can use it on your own hardware which you fully control.
Admittedly I skimmed the paper but didn’t see any comparison with state of the art. How does this differ from Tezos’ implementation?
> Hmm.. I couldn't send "my car broke down" on Signal because it's one service was down for reasons entirely unrelated to my use.

This happened to gmail recently, too, and my realtor couldn't send me contracts during a bidding war. In the case of gmail, it was an accidental reduction of provisioning to an internal service (perhaps easy to predict if you ignore the enormous complexity of the googleverse). In the case of Signal, it was a result of a scaling suddenly and faster than they could be expected to predict (perhaps easy to predict, but not a certainty; a risk in any case for a small operation like Signal).
I'm just trying to help your "obliterated ... by a wayward mouse action" problem.

As I said at the end of the post, the actual behavior of some X Window System features are poorly explained and not obvious. The unexplained differences from the de fact standard behavior new users expect is as major usability problem. However...

> utterly trivial and intuitive on every other major operating system

It's worth remembering that when the standards document referenced in my previous [1] was originally written... a lot of those "major operating systems" didn't exist. In 1987, MS Windows was on version 1.0. I'm not sure it even supported any clipboard-like features. In that era, minimizing memory usage and network traffic were important, design goals.

Why do you say that? The total free float is about 47M shares; I understand short interest was about 150% of float but volume on GME last week was over 500M, wasn't it?
I struggle a lot with advertising my work outside the company.

I'm the kind of engineer that will get anything done regardless of the tech (or people/process) complexity, and I always end up watching someone else in the team going to conferences to present my work.

Random reasons random, but mostly because my inner klout is way bigger than my outer persona.
During this period (looks like at least 10:30-noon ET) there were 11 volatility halts (and auction-priced reopenings) due to price movement. The stock spent more time halted than open!

Reopening auctions concentrate trading volumes. This may look more suspicious because volume is so concentrated, but in reality they give about five minutes for many participants to join and it all executes at one price. Prices I see for reopenings are approximately

330
290
265
226
170
140
120
141
170
210
216

The idea that the 120,140 were lower than "market prices" is solidly in tail-wagging-dog category. GME sold off hard, yes, but it was over the course of almost an hour and with substantial trading across the entire price range. This is natural when any imbalanced order flow has previously pushed prices and then subsides.

Note that 120 was the low and prices retraced through about half of the prior range. That retracement started at around 11:20 ET. Do you know when RH or other brokers had opening buy orders blocked and subsequently unblocked? Given that RH needed to secure cash for DTCC'S requirements, I expect that retracement was during the blocked period still.

Overall this still looks like tinfoil hat theory from WSB. Volatility looks crazy and it's easy to see demons in the shadows.
Yes, this.

Some of us remember Microsoft setting personal computing back ten years by using their market power to foist sub par, frankly rubbish, system software on computer users.

There is no sign they have changed their business practices. It is just now they are the underdog.

Full respect is due to MS for turning their business around, but they are playing catchup now. If they ever get back out in front, watch out!
I find the contrast and coherence between Mozart and Haydn really wonderful.

Those days I hear more Haydn than Mozart. Mozart's pieces are amazing, but they're so powerful and distinctive I don't find drawn to them over and over. Haydn's pieces are often just as prodigious, but more modest; he calmly draws you in and paints the main themes. I find hearing Haydn a journey. Mozart is more catchy, viral, virtuosic. To me Mozart is miraculous in his operas of course, but also when he set sights on "modest" forms of the string and piano quartet (learning from Haydn no doubt).

K 458 is a good example to me:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYTuXWxNhxo

I encourage everyone to discover Haydn as well! He had much more time to develop the techniques and depths of composition, and it shows in his later works. Mozart is good, but mature Haydn pieces... I can hardly believe it's music I'm hearing and not a beautiful story.
It is truly mindbogglingly fascinating to see Americans talk about "the extreme far left", and also very cute how you guys somehow think that left-wing politics cause homelessness and drug abuse.

These people just need a stern order to pull themselves up by the bootstraps, then all the poop will be gone from the streets, am I right?
Any thoughts/comments on the “convenient” timing?

I’m not writing a lot here, first post! Hi! :)

One thing I didn’t see mentioned here yet, and what makes look suspicious in my eyes, is the timing.

It seemed to me, and I saw this charted in some places afterwards (sorry, don’t have proper sources right now), that the disabling of the options on MULTIPLE brokerages happens almost exactly at the same time a heavy ladder attack was started which dropped the price significantly from - maybe 300-ish? to 120-ish in minutes.

It looked like stop losses should get triggered and the whole market brought to the bottom without the smaller investors a) being able to buy the dip and b) being able to rally the price by buying back thusly.

All the reasons given for the disabling and more might apply, but still this could have been used through the timing as part of a multiple pronged attack, seemingly also coordinated with bots flooding wsb with disheartening messages and a DDOS attack on Reddit’s DNS infrastructure, to try and keep individual investors alone with their decisions to either hold or keep their profits and ruin, thus trying to trigger a panic sale.

What, maybe to get out of some kind of squeeze? :)

It was great to see that most people seem to have held on even whilst disconnected from the hivemind for a bit.
Why would "Apple" be blocked? You can run arbitrary software on macOS.

The permissions are not interactive, you can set them once and forget.
One of the benefits of Layerfiles vs Dockerfiles is that those two examples will do the same thing - we monitor which files are read so you don't have to micromanage copying specific steps.

But I suppose "npm install" is a simplistic example, "npm run setup_our_ci_environment" would be a more likely step for a larger CI pipeline
Coordination problems can become technical problems - or be caused by technical decisions.

Moving a system/network of actors from one system to a new, incompatible system? You need to coordinate the switch so it all happens at once. Can’t coordinate? Then you need a compatibility layer between the two systems.
Server stack sits in a closet just off the floor. There is a heater duct opening behind it.

Door has a small vent to let air in. Works well, I don't hear the noise unless I'm right next to the door. Closet also has the wifi and other stuff in it.

Still not sure why this repo doesn't implement dimensionality reduction techiques. Seems like a huge oversight since that's what you need for doing this on high dimensional data.

> Sure, lets pipe user feedback directly into GitHub issues. Good luck with that if you have a hundred issues a day.

There's a more fundamental issue: GitHub issues are for developers to report bugs and file feature-requests, they aren't intended for user support, even if that's sometimes how they're used.

I’ve been with this company for 15 years, and at this point I just can’t think of the role I’d enjoy here.

But it’s definitely something to think about. Maybe training if I can convince the “political structures” they need such a role.
I believe this is the correct understanding, with the minor explicit callout that every dollar RH had to use to cover pre-cleared ACH deposits was a dollar they couldn't use to put towards backing their DTCC collateral.

So in one way, the influx of new users and new inbound money could not have come at a worse time, even though I also believe it likely was rather inconsequential in comparison to the DTCC requirements.
Burnout hits everyone differently. For me the biggest sign of burnout is Sunday night anxiety. I need new challenges (and recognition from those I respect) to get over it. Everyone is different though.

Specific to your case, don’t underestimate the impact of COVID. It’s natural to question things when you go through a life altering disease. And you’re supposed to be exhausted.

If you have a good boss with whom you have mutual respect, talk to them. Don’t wait for them to ask. If not, quietly look into your Employee Assistance Program. You don’t want to get stuck while you are getting over this.

You’ve put in 20+ good years into your career and got sucker punched by a disease. This is not your fault!!!

Makes me glad to be an indian - our courts have ruled that photo-copying parts of textbooks is "fair use" under copyright laws (for academics only)!

Let's not forget how far off the Imperial College model for the current pandemic turned out to be. This model was accepted without reservation by governments around the world as the basis for their pandemic response.

Avoiding these types of errors might be difficult but how much effort are we really putting in trying? For one of my EE courses at university, I designed the power distribution system for a residential subdivision, aiming to keep all the voltage and amperage without acceptable tolerance while minimizing the cost of materials. The analysis was required to be done twice by completely independent systems. Seems odd that we are willing to make such huge decisions about the course of action we take without requiring multiple independent evaluations.

i failed to mention this in the above post, right after you pass your "matriculation" you are supposed to decide your subjects, "medical", "non medical", "commerce" and "arts"

medical is medicine. non medical is engineering
commerce is just that, arts is humanities.

just 4 groups of subjects and a students is expected to study just that "section" but a couple of years later finds out he/she was unable to get a "seat" so "college" it is. there graduating from there, just pillar to post for job or if their parents have cash, they are sent for further studies in foreign countries.

>they are there to learn basic literacy skills to become employable.

i employ commerce graduates in my office. the level of grasp they have on the subjects they are supposed to have studied in 3 years of their course is not enough to get them an intern level job. either the colleges are doing a crap job of teaching them or there is something wrong with what is being taught
I believe the problem is indeed “HDR-compatibility” though having read the spec just now, no TVs appear to be truly HDR yet as defined by the ITU, they generally support the P3 colour space which is a subset of BT.2020. Citing Wikipedia for the statistics:

In coverage of the CIE 1931 color space, the Rec. 2020 color space covers 75.8%, the DCI-P3 digital cinema color space covers 53.6%, the Adobe RGB color space covers 52.1%, and the Rec. 709 color space covers 35.9%.

Technically DCI-P3 as used by projectors isn’t Display P3 as used by computers and smartphones but the numbers should give you an idea.

What you want to look for is high rating for “colour volume” such as https://www.rtings.com/tv/tests/picture-quality/color-volume... ... it varies based on LCD vs OLED. Even a fancy LG OLED might only be 87% of the DCI P3 colour space due to missing out on the brightest whites but absolutely nailing the darkest blacks in low light viewing.
The way I see it: the more skilled labor we can import, the better. The U.S. owes its success largely due to migration (be it through merchants, slaves, or otherwise).

I don't agree with the notion that we must "close off" the country in order to preserve said success.

> In particular, the 'correct way to solve this problem is to stand up an environment for your PR and structure your CI so you only re-run the parts that affect the particular change you want to make, rather than re-running the entire pipeline. It involves putting more thought into running your pipeline but often means the only tasks that get executed are copying a file and restarting your app

This is actually exactly what our platform helps with - instead of micromanaging this (and updating the configurations) you can rely on a friendly SaaS to do it for you.

I wouldn't call us "better" than Docker, we're more like "Take Docker and make it work better for CI/CD and staging servers"
Yes, because you have to work a lot harder to make it in the U.S. than other countries, where you could mostly slack off and be taken care of by robust welfare systems.

But also, the rewards for working harder in the US and having the right bit of luck are much higher than other countries. If you're an immigrant and you're looking to move somewhere for a YOLO shot at a good life, the U.S. is still the best game in town.
My even more favorite IKEA piece for short-depth rackmount gear is no longer made: CORRAS Bedside Table, in Birch Effect.

https://duckduckgo.com/?q=ikea+corras+rack&t=h_&iar=images&i...

Unlike the LACK, includes a floor, casters, and adjustable shelves.

I've bought several of these, currently down to 2, and sorely wishing I had 1-2 more.

After the CORRAS was discontinued, there was also a slightly-different EINA model, but not in Birch Effect. (The closest finish I found for EINA was best described as Pressed Sawdust Vomit Effect.)

When I again have wood workshop access, I'm going to learn how to make nicely-finished solid-wood homages to the CORRAS.
The US has a uniquely exploitative work visa program and undocumented immigrants are hired at slave wages. I wouldn't call this an accomplishment.
You can be passionate and content.

There are plenty of passionate artists, athletes and engineers who don't care about going pro, getting famous or changing the world.

For example, I'm passionate about software development, but I make simple things that don't matter. I'm passionate about cooking, but only for myself and the occasional guest. I'm also passionate about the website I live from, but I don't worry much about its growth.

I like to build stuff, but I don't want an audience or its recognition. I don't want users nor money. I just do it because it's nice.
Took a close family 3 months to really recover. Only after starting a daily workout regime she recovered.
On the contrary, as the gap between the current price and the range everyone knows it will fall to eventually grows, the stock is becoming more and more attractive to short to people with "serious money" and a little appetite for risk.

Meme stock just makes it look more like a huge opportunity on both sides and in the long run everyone knows which direction it goes from here so the opportunity is clearly more on the short side if they size their position so they can hold it long term. Even if there is the chance for further squeeze, I'm sure enough people will still feel this is a huge shorting opportunity that short interest will not go down much from here, and the higher it goes the more people will feel that way.
The main take away is that there is advancement for global scientific community by having a significant portion of the smart people migrate to one part of the world and collaborate.

Yeah, LSP may be turning out to be a good example of Microsoft going back to EEE; with a twist, though: rather than embracing a pre-existing standard, they're proposing a new one

I has a period of almost 5 months when I was doing at home the following exercises daily:

1. https://youtu.be/20zybMbnVoU - from UC San Diego Healtg

2. https://youtu.be/XkT7jxFfPHA - from UC San Diego Health

3. https://youtu.be/5M-b1c2spPE - from Mayo Clinic

4. https://youtu.be/GS_z6FG_jqE - this is from a fitness instructor but it is simple and easy to follow.

All of them are easy to remember after watching 2-3 times at max. And they can be done at home, no tools required.

I had some back pain and did them almost daily from January to May and the pain almost disappeared. But I was stupid enough to go into a very intense project and did not had time to do them. Now I try to get back into a daily routine (after 6kg extra gained in the last 3 months)

In case you want something which is more intense I also tried this one https://youtu.be/istOU9nxhm8 (from the same fitness instructor) and I liked it a lot.
getting on the front page like this was quite unexpected and has completely made my day =) =) =)
