Alright, so we were talking past each other. Sorry for not picking up on it sooner.

I don't subscribe to the conspiracy theory - the "mundane", mechanical explanation seems perfectly adequate. My only opinion on Robinhood is that the current backlash they face could've been avoided if they were communicating honestly and in details. The angry mob ultimately isn't after them.
> it's created by banks

They work in tandem with the government obviously.

> Raising interest rates reduces the stock of viable projects thereby reducing lending and money creation, which halts inflation. This is trivial stuff.

Setting interest rates to 0 also heavily reduces lending because no one would be incentivized anymore to lend as they're not getting any benefit. This is why in Islam, lending is purely an act of charity since the lender can in no way shape or form be contractually owed any sort of benefit, monetary or otherwise.

This is proven to work up to even recent times before everyone was forced by the West to succumb to their dangerous economic practices. Claiming that these ideas are only suitable for millenia ago is outright false.
I’ve used COSMOS with embedded systems on personal projects and it is very easy to learn and get setup. Highly recommend it to folks who are considering it.

For anyone interested in using this with Arduino, you can take a look at this blog on how to do it (not my blog): http://www.williamosman.com/2016/08/cosmos-and-arduino-20-te...
Didn't a lot of sentiment analysis/NLP companies already tried to make Wallstreetbets sentiments since forever, and couldn't actually make useful data because of the noise (intentional). The only way today is different is that because these days they are united under singular stock, so its pretty easy. But regular wallstreetbets activity, no chance.
In China it's winter and all the major hotspots are in the north (ie. colder regions): Hebei, Heilongjiang, Jilin, Liaoning, Xinjiang, etc.
Best Practice for Versioning of Software
Do many software creators tend for a convention on versioning when releasing software? For example Tomcat right now is v9.0.41. We would like to only update our internal stack when "major releases" occur. Would I wait until 9.1.x? I know some softwares call these LTS, but often that is nowhere to be found on their site.

I think this is probably the type of question that could spiral into a bunch of conjecture, but any insight welcome.
The Moth presented a story by Prinna Boudreau which is relevant to this topic and well worth a listen if you want some more perspective.

Technically yes, but as they say, the market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent. Anyone considering shorts should go spend some time in r/wallstreetbets and figure out if that is a group they'd want to play chicken against.

Intel has a previous SPMD compiler here: https://ispc.github.io

Although the author seemed to have fled Intel soon after releasing it, and apparently spent the whole development process terrified that corporate politics would make him cancel it.
Disclaimer (and a bit of context): I work for a company that builds a special type of debugger, aimed at debugging live applications in production.

As one would expect, we've spent an enormous amount of time thinking about debuggers, how they work from the inside and what they contribute to the general experience of developing software.

Debuggers are, for developers well-versed in working with them, priceless tools (see [1] for an example from this very thread). There's so, so much value in walking through a program not only in one's head (as well-put by pg at one time[2]), but by using a tool that enforces a more structured, "formal" process for program exploration. I use it when trying to understand how code I write actually looks like IRL, but also - and maybe more so - for understanding code OTHER PEOPLE wrote with better context than any piece of documentation or simply reading the code would ever give me.

But - as the article and some[3] of[4] the[5] comments[6] here point out - it has warts (quick plug - I recently wrote a blog post[7] that details my perspective on remote debuggers and how they can be better).

One thing that I didn't see mentioned in this thread or in the article, and is a real PITA, is performance. Debuggers are not built to deal with performance problems - or collection of temporal data, for that matter - at all.

Consider how one might go about debugging a real-life performance issue, especially in the context of modern applications - many threads, many hosts, many replicas of the same service, etc.

You probably have a tracer - something like Zipkin[8] or Jaeger[9] - that helps you to break apart latency issues in your endpoints. You also probably have a set of instrumented metrics (graphed inside your APM, perhaps) for quick observation when something is not reacting as fast as you expect it to. But sometimes they don't tell the full story - there's just too many possible edge cases.

Performance issues can be caused by data structures exploding in size, causing degraded performance and OOMs. They can be caused by one method, in a chain of dozens of different, inter-connected ones, that is especially slow. It can be related to non-optimized SQL queries (maybe hidden behind an ORM). It can be a weird code path - one the developer did not expect, and did not test for - that gets triggered by users with very specific characteristics.

Hard.

I recently killed all my PHP code in favor of Go.

It sure does. But good luck timing it. The whole point of a short squeeze is that the market can stay irrational for longer than you can stay solvent.
Oh, there is also a paragraph in the AZ contract, that frees AZ from breach of contract if additional orders from the EU result in capacity shortfalls. Not that dditional orders would have been necessary, but hey, the press called for it.

Yes, I guess it's a bit of a push, and maybe I'm grasping at straws here. But the man is insincere in everything he does, and I'd include his badmouthing the EU in that.

He'll do what he thinks is best for his vote share, and my, admittedly amateur, reading of this situation is that he might well make a trade off in that direction. Although the latest news from Northern Ireland might be rocking the boat a bit too much. We'll just have to see I guess - but these days I'll expect anything.

And it's probably even more risky if you are a witness or have useful information. Putting yourself at a crime scene - even if you saw nothing - seems like a bad idea these days. "Oh you were there but you did see anything? Reeeealy?"

Getting back to the headline, I think they need to at least be required to tell the truth in court.

I’m fine with cops lying if you’ve been charged with a crime, and established the antagonistic relationship, but not before.

When beat cops lie to ordinary citizens about what their rights are, it just builds up an enmity that makes it more difficult for community policing to work.
The article suggests that the police should have to prove that the confession is true. I would go further and say that this should apply to guilty pleas and plea bargains as well. The police should have to prove that the plea is justified by the evidence, and disclose all evidence at their disposal to the court. If you're pleading to a reduced charge, the police should have to prove both charges. After the evidence has been presented and shown to be sufficient, then the court decides if the plea is justified, what kind of trial to hold, and what sentence to mete out.

It's supposed to be hard to convict people.

> But this seems like a shill article in general, as there's nothing mentioned about the fact that Citadel makes up more more than 35% of Robinhood's revenues[1].

Let's count all the people that would need to be involved in this conspiracy. First, obviously the Robinhood executives themselves. Second, the portfolio managers at Citadel's hedge funds who would be holding the large short position. Third, the market makers at Citadel Securities. Remember Citadel Securities is a separate company, with a legally mandated Chinese firewall prohibition them from discussing operations with the hedge funds. Fourth, the other internalizers that Robinhood uses, like Virtu and SIG, who would clearly wonder why the order flow they're paying for went dark.

Fifth, the DTC clearinghouse. If Robinhood made a false claim about its collateral at the DTC, they'd clearly either correct it if they weren't in on the conspiracy. Sixth, JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs and other banks, that extend Robinhood credit. Obviously if Robinhood wasn't actually near the end of its credit line, they would have no reason get involved with the lie.

Seventh, Robinhood wasn't the only broker to restrict trading. So clearly in this scenario Citadel must have colluded with Interactive Brokers, WeBull, Apex Clearing, TD Ameritrade, and Merrill Lynch. All of whom restricted trading at the same time for the same stated reason. Eight, the SEC, who has transparent access to the collateral position of licensed brokers, and would be able to reveal the lie, unless they were in on it.

So let's add all that together. A massive lie involving hundreds of people between Robinhood, Citadel Investments, Citadel Securities, Virtu, SIG, JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, the DTC, the SEC, WeBull, Merrill, Ameritrade, Interactive Brokers, and Apex Clearing. Among which any single whistle blower could easily unravel a paper trail a mile long.

And why would they even do this. Citadel Securities makes $6 billion a year from its. Citadel's hedge funds have $30 billion under management. Even if they were at risk of losing their entire $2 billion investment in Melvin, that's still a drop in the bucket. Certainly not worth risking the entire company in harebrained conspiracy.

Is it possible? Sure, a lot of things are possible. But it's a pretty outlandish claim, with zero evidence to back it up. About on par with typical QAnon fantasies.
To have the police play by same rules as regular people, we need to remove "government immunity" which the USSC created out of thin air in the early 1970s.

Why would police and city councils change anything, when after somebody sues the government files a motion to dismiss because of government immunity and the motion is granted? There won't be accountability until this changes.
Getting a simple application up and running shouldn't be that difficult without scouring reference guides if it is a thing you do.

WSB has experienced ~6x growth in the last month. The vast majority of it is people who have no idea what forces are at play, and think that this is some way to dunk on a hedge fund with mechanisms they don't understand. They're a long ways out from even knowing that a clearing house exists.

Definitely agree that on a team by team basis, there are opportunities to raise money out there that can be less dilutive -- very much might make more sense to do that than apply to work with us if you're in the right position for it too.

We like to think that our program isn't just about the funding on our end but also the mentorship, and there's value to that too (as we've been building our life science startups, we've found there aren't many traditional investors that have built their own life science companies and know the ins and outs of the experience).

Generally speaking, we don't want to be setting custom arrangements for everyone because we think it's super important that people think of each other as peers and that we aren't treating some people better than others.
I love googling and stackoverflowing. I know a great deal, but I'm like Kelly Bundy; I can only hold so much in my pretty little head.

I generally forget stuff a week after last using it, and am googling even the most basic things.

In a few days, I'm gonna have to put my Swift code aside for a week or two, while I modify my backend (PHP). I guarantee that I'll be like duuu-uhhh for the first couple of days, with serious Google-Jistu katas.

Then, the same thing will happen again, when I switch back to the Swift frontend.

I tend to avoid using dependencies, so I write a lot of code.
Comments moved to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25958639, which is the article that this one points to, and was posted earlier.

I've left a subthread here which specifically references this article and wouldn't make as much sense in the other thread.
Back in the days of PHP, I could develop web apps without references for the most part, using a simple text editor. It's a pretty similar story with Python too, unless I'm using Pandas, I generally don't use reference material much.

Today with node/angular, I'm generally leaning on Google (well DDG) pretty heavily throughout the day. Web platforms seem substantially more complicated today than they used to be. Then again, maybe the mid-aughts was the golden age of programming.
And afterwards? What is the hired guy then doing? Fixing the size of a button? ;)
Yeah, the googling point is kind of strange in that way.

My first thought was, OK I'd probably go back to some projects in my bookmarks db that seemed interesting last time I was looking into web apps. HTMX maybe. That project has some good examples in the docs.

Googling can help in some ways, but it's also casting way too wide a net in others, especially if you keep repeating that step. It's like walking out into the street and shouting, "I WANT TO BUILD AN APP" infrequently, and then wondering why you keep doing this instead of building apps.

Perhaps it would help the author to think more about creating their own process for selecting, refining, and testing methodologies first, then ramp up to building an app second.
I've been planning to do this, but enterprise hardware seems like it requires a completely different set of knowledge on how to purchase it and maintain it, and especially as a consumer.

It's not quite as trivial of a barrier to entry as consumer desktops, but I suppose that's the point. Still, it would be nice if there was a guide that could help me make good decisions to start.

Constant learning does keep modded minecraft fresh. That’s why I eventually stopped playing: I had sufficiently seen it all.

One thing that really allured me towards the end was the idea of voxel layouts. I found it fun to optimize pipe layouts between heat exchangers and boilers to maximize throughout and minimize resource cost.

Factorio has similar feelings with 2D layout optimization, but it feels comparatively simplistic. There is also never a crunch for resources in factorio. “Oh I need more iron” is very different than “I just spent an hour hunting down a chrome vein and I better carefully pick what I’ll make next”. This is a rather hardcore game mechanic and I can see it being very niche.

I would not be surprised if even Professional Web Developers cant do it. Especially if you include deployment.

This isn't the old days of FTP, Perl or PHP anymore. There are too much information I cant memorise every single bit of it. And I dont think you should either. Especially in the age of Google. My memory capacity has its limit, and there are things I just decide it is not important enough to memorise when I could easily search for it. ( Or if I am relying on Heroku )

I have long thought of Directing a video, where we have famous Developers, or developers from a pieces of software that normal people would have heard of, filming them doing work, looking up silly things in Google. Starring at the screen for hours and absolutely dont have a clue what the code is doing. Not typing any code for hours. Sort of like Reality TV shows for Programmers.

Hollywood Movies and Anime has made the perception that proper Software programmers should be super fast touch typist and typing code with insane speed. It makes people uneasy when they learn programming. It turns out they have to constantly look up some manual, googling, copy and pasting and for most of the time not typing anything. They thought they are just not any good at it and many simply gave up.

The reality is, hopefully the video would show, even top level programmers dont know everything. And it is perfectly normal to look things up.
In practice, reliably distinguishing ASD from non-ASD is problematic.

[0] is a PhD thesis which (in its first part) examines three specialist ASD diagnostic clinics in the US, with a >30% percentage point difference in diagnosis rates. It argues that the best explanation for that observed difference is differences in clinical culture between the clinics; and, that despite this substantial variation in diagnosis rates, the clinics took an unusually rigorous approach to diagnosis, suggesting that in a broader set of clinics (most of whom would approach diagnosis with less rigour) the variation is likely to be even higher.

Although we have diagnostic instruments, such as the ADOS-2 (which along with the ADI-R is considered the "gold standard"), they have problems. One problem is that the standards for using these instruments clinically are a lot weaker than the standards for research use. [1] is a study which attempts to measure the accuracy of ADOS(-2) coding by clinicians, by comparing it to the consensus coding of experienced researchers – it found a high variability in the accuracy of the clinical codings – some clinicians were quite close to the research standard, others were a fair way off.
