Superinteresting and timely for us. Curious to plugin to our stack and see how it plays with our GPU visuals! I'm especially optimistic b/c the pydata bindings.

Can you share a bit more about k8s-less design plan + timeline? (apt/conda/docker/...?)

And any intuition for something like efficient Arrow/Parquet dataframe ingest/export? We're especially focused on Dask interop.
Sure, but then the argument for it being a bubble is “it is different this time.” It could be, I don’t know! But plenty of interest in retail investing has not resulted in a bust before.
Don't SSDs have a finite TBW? 50GB of writes everyday (possible on large projects) will consume that in a couple of months.
Intentionally shifting the meaning of the term opensource is unacceptable. Open source means surrendering your monopoly over commercial exploitation of your code.

If you pick and choose where conspiracies happen based on your political slant, then you aren't thinking critically. By the same level of rationality that Robinhood took action to protect Citadel's positions, China could have released the coronavirus because it would have a greater impact on freer countries.

Conspiracies happen everywhere, all the time, but you need to avoid applying a bias because of political implications. I highly doubt there are more conspiracies happening anywhere in the private sector than in most large governments.
Forget about 3D product landing pages that get stuck and never load, I'm entirely turned off by the gratuitous animation on this blog post with fonts that pop in late, the menubar sliding in slowly for no reason, and links being slowly underlined. And those js embeds _destroy_ the page performance. Every time I scroll to one the scrolling stutters to a complete halt.

I know that doing stuff because you can is cool, but what if we also focus on making it work in ways that aren't annoying to use?
This is a great set of ideas for using property-based testing. I've found it useful to think of code in terms of invariants and contracts, and property-based testing lets me express those very directly in code. No other testing method comes close.
> Using "CCP" in place of "China" is a trend that started with the recent demonization of China.

I take exception to this as I have been trying to explain to everyone how evil the CCP is for many years. It is not recent. Using the term CCP is simply an attempt to accurately identify the problem, and not be lazy/racist by blaming things on "China."
i agree, i,m still working on the ui. qdb will be upgraded to a newer version soon.
Property testing is awesome, but it does significantly slow down test suites. Are there any standard practices for striking a balance of getting the added confidence/safety of using property tests without introducing large delays into your CI pipeline?

"Wall Street knew all this would happen"

As if "Wall St." is one giant conspiracy. What happened to criticizing "Wall St." for treating the economy like a casino and driving the stock market into a giant bubble? Where are all those complaints about how "Wall St." is recklessly risking our retirement accounts? The contradictory conspiracy theories are astonishing.
The problem is that the cool protocol for ledgers doesn't actually address many of the business needs while simultaneously being pitched as if it does.

Very few people are arguing that blockchain has no benefit. But it also has costs and in many cases the costs outweigh the benefits. Tracking the provenance of your tomatoes on a blockchain has real costs over putting the data in a database, and you still need to have someone you trust who can vouch that the tomatoes were grown where they said they were. If you're already trusting someone to say "these tomatoes are authentic, Nebraska-grown tomatoes" then you might as well have them manage the whole supply chain.

Also, I don't think many people would complain about a monopoly that had open data access and open protocols and allowed interoperability. If your tomato-supply-chain-management company told you that you couldn't export the data about your tomatoes or you could only access it via their terrible app then THAT would be the argument for moving to a blockchain. If at any time they could inflate the supply of Nebraska-grown tomatoes by clicking a button then that would be an argument for blockchain.

The need for trust is a necessary but not sufficient requirement for putting something on a blockchain. Too often it's presented as sufficient.
Ludicrous. Laws are not about privilege - laws should be equal for everyone.

If there's one thing China got right, it's that they'll throw your ass in jail, whether you're worth a dollar, or hundreds of millions of dollar - if you can't do the time, don't do the crime. Easy as that.

That article mentioned Delphi and Object Pascal, and it brought back many fond memories. I absolutely LOVED Delphi and Object Pascal back in the day. So clean and so fun to program in. If Borland hadn't f-ed it up and had stayed around until now, I'd be the biggest Delphi fanboy.

Alas, that was not to be. Modern languages are fun and all, but not Delphi-back-in-the-day level fun :-).
> Refund abuse is something all stores deal with and write off.

Yes but don’t traditional retailers purchase the stock up front? Then they’re writing down losses on their own books, I doubt they’re charging back losses from shoplifting to Nabisco and Duracell.

I’d give you this point if Apple bought the rights to distribute apps from developers, and then ate the losses for refunds, but it’s the exact opposite. Developers pay for the right to distribute, then lose the refund money when their product is used and then “returned.” They aren’t getting compensated for the incurred server costs from the fraudulent usage period either.
> I have a feeling that if the game controls were slightly more abstract, it might be better. Less "burn 100m/s retrograde" and more "intercept target", "pull alongside target", etc.

I believe this reflects the creator's conclusions regarding the nature of space combat. that is, the outcome of the battle is more or less determined by the weapons loadout and approach speed/direction. so the real "fight" is maneuvering for a favorable approach and/or forcing the enemy to waste their delta-v, which the game definitely stresses. there aren't a lot of meaningful tactical choices once you're within gun range.

could be a case of being too realistic for its own good. I do think the game would be less frustrating if it had checkpoints within missions. very annoying to have to redo some complicated orbit transfer over and over because you keep losing the final battle.

The IRS has nice little boxes that the low income people can fill in that are blatantly obvious when fraudulent. It's not the IRS's fault that people think they can fudge some number and it not instantly get flagged on entry into the computer.
>> Wall Street is not a casino in this regard.

You either didn't trade options or didn't play casino games. Any trader knows he takes a gamble(calculated but still a gamble) and if something unexpected happens(i.e your stock buying is being halted and people panic for various reasons) you just made the wrong bet. Regardless if you are right you still loose.
It went from a book to ... TV, right?? I read all the books and novellas; couldn't get into the tv show bc I objected to some of the casting decisions.
Thank you so much for spelling this out. I have no dog in that race, but with everything you said, and politicians from AOC to Ted Cruz calling for an investigation, calling the allegations of wrongdoing "conspiracies" is simply being in denial.
More books at https://racket-lang.org/books.html
The point is that on Amazon, you can browse the whole collection with the long-tail as a first-class citizen. With brick-and-mortar stores the buying experience for long-tail books was clearly inferior for browsing. Sure, if I knew I wanted a particular book, I could get it -- but you couldn't browse the long-tail to explore if you didn't know exactly what you were looking for.

Every friction point in the customer experience causes potential customers to lose interest and give up on their prospective purchase. So if your potential customer has to take two actions, spread across multiple days, then all else being equal you're (hopefully obviously) going to get lower conversion/purchase rates and lower customer satisfaction than if they can impulse-buy in one action.
Exactly, the market is definitely overenthusiastic which we can call a bubble. So we keep on hearing all those claiming it is a bubble in the sense that it will imminently "pop" because people will always want to say "I predicted the bubble will pop". So they will wake up every few months (when the market peaks yet again) and shout "bubble, bubble" so that just in case it happens now they can be the foresighted ones.

The amount of times we've heard "bubble" over past few years, even while/if true, in of itself keeps people from taking it seriously.
> I wish someone would remake B5 eventually, true to the original but dropping all the unnecessary material (and useless arcs), pulling in the TV movie plots, and addressing the telepath war.

I'm actually curious as to what you think was unnecessary material. There was definitely some in S1, but the vast, vast majority of stuff spanning the first four seasons was important I'd say. Obviously the fifth season was different, but that wasn't really the fault of the show creator.
4chan doesn't require an "identity" but that's also creating other problems. Maybe it is just being human, it can't be perfect.

HFTs certainly have an edge on micro/milli/seconds timescales, where price moves are more predictable. But that expertise doesn't necessarily generalize to mid/low-frequency trading where human traders and the real world come into play.
After liking this article, I wanted to check out others on the site, and am shocked at the terrible usability of their front page. I can't finish reading the titles of their articles before the page just keeps moving things around on me. It is so frustrating, which is unfortunate because I would otherwise have been interested to see more of their content. Experience completely ruined by awful design judgment.
We like to run the tests as part of CI with a relatively small number of iterations, and then turn the knob way up in a nightly or weekly scheduled test job.

>why would Citadel bail out melvin ?

Same reason why people buy stocks when it's tanking (remember, for every seller there's a buyer): because they think the fund's undervalued and they can buy it at a discount.

Box Sign Simple, secure e-signatures where your content lives
The university discrimination in the US is horrendous. Personally I feel like we should go to a system like China for admissions. Take an exam and rank your choices. Then depending on grades on the exam, you are admitted to the school of your choice, the best grades get their first picks, until people don't get into that, then they get into their second pick, etc. This would remove all of the classist policies of legacy admissions, donor admission, what sports you played, "interviews", etc.

If Harvard is 95% Asian or Indian, then so be it.

People should be judged by their abilities and the content of their character, not the color of their skin or who their parents were. Just because the discrimination is happening to a white kid from Ohio or asian, doesn't mean its okay.
Thanks, we'll review this and other folks' comments and see if we can make a change that works for us and maintains an OSS ethos. This is our first launch FWIW, we're appreciative of the feedback but clearly seemed to have ruffled some feathers
The IRS audits most poor earners because of rampant Earned Income Tax Credit fraud. Audit rates though of the really rich are 30x that of the poor.
I’m not saying we can see every single detail of the modern analysis of theme habits of the Big Bang directly, I’m just saying the the fact the universe started with an explosion like fireball event generating a pervasive hot plasma which cooled as the universe expanded in the far past is directly observable.

That is there was a bang, it was big, and we can directly observe it.
The market would have punished Apple if a competitive alternative product existed.
No, in your society, the one we live in right now, it is already happening. People have others choices imposed on them. A parent thrusts their choices onto their children often to much detriment as the aforementioned person.

In a society I'm proposing, those kind of choices aren't able to be thrusted on a person because the idea that you can choose for someone is removed. It simply is behavior that is exhibited, and we understand that behavior enough to change it or we need to learn more to understand the behavior. Your reality, the current one we live in, is the nightmare for some people.

The Soviet Union and Communist China, terms you want to use to describe them, do not sound like what I am advocating in the slightest. I'm advocating that we acknowledge the underlying reality that we are not free to make choices. There is only the illusion our brains create. How you interpret that is on you. It has nothing to do with other countries or systems of government. Stop trying to drag in straw mans because your ideas lack substance.
The religious cult Heaven's Gate has a website that's been maintained since at least the mid 90s. Some of the imagery on that site is pretty old.

My first reaction after reaching the halfway point in the article was to check it was not April 1st already.

The UK has tens of thousands of Huawei VDSL2 DSLAMs installed, I imagine most countries have similar (Portugal seems to use Huawei for nearly all of their FTTH equipment). They are not dumb pieces of kit at all in terms of computing power.

Regardless, even if it was, it is still a huge potential problem. Imagine Huawei had some backdoor code that looked for a certain pattern of data across any of the network interfaces and corrupted the firmware so it wouldn't load without being physically replaced. China then buys a load of ads and as users browse the web, they load the image with the secret string in, triggering it (one example).

Within a couple of hours enough users have seen it that the vast majority of western infrastructure is down, and needs replaced (and I would assume in this case, China wouldn't be willing to sell more!).

I think this sort of attack would likely take down most 5G anyway - as it's incredibly likely that the backhaul has some sort of Huawei fibre product in it somewhere along the line.
The people with "diamond hands" are the ones who opened short positions when the stock was trading in the $300+ range. They are probably to busy looking up which sports cars to buy with all the money they made to bother looking at WSB right now.

AFAIK, it's common to use the capital of a country when referencing government decisions in news articles. e.g. Washington, Beijing, Ottawa, Delhi, Brussels, etc.
I get what you're saying and I think your terminology makes sense.

But the way to understand this is to reframe your view of "money" from being some special, neutral thing to just being another asset.

At any given moment, you could own $1000, or some gold, or some bitcoin, or whatever else. There is nothing special about the fact that it's $ you're holding rather than DOGE or SPY.

So imagine a 2-asset world, that has SPY and $ in it. You are holding $1000 right now, and the market goes from 1 SPY = $1 to 1 SPY = $1000. That is a loss. Denominated in SPY, you just lost 999 SPY.
Neat! Have you considered taking payments for the service? Seems like it could be really valuable.

Absolutely not, contract law cares most about what is written in the actual contract, not what you say you intended by it. There is no way I can risk using this in a commercial SaaS app given the license as written. In comparison, Sentry's BSL license (which you mentioned in another comment) does not have the same flaw. I can use open source Sentry to monitor my commercial SaaS app no problem based on how their license is written.
How do you like DEC? Think the microVAX has a future?
If I recall correctly, I had issues primarily with more complicated documents, and mostly due to some RStudio "project" and file path configuration issues - I would have to look to see what the specific issues were. Simple, one-file .Rmd docs are typically fine either way.
a. i believe in the any browser philosphy.

b. i think every browser is worth it, and some of these classics are very nice.

c. it,s not very limiting because html and js allow for progressive enhancement.

i started out wanting to just be accessible. then i saw a cool exhibit at mfa with beige boxes, win95, netscape 3, and older web creations.

i realized it wouldn,t be that hard, i wanted to support nn3 for classic retro reasons.

then i realized that with a few tweaks, i can cover the whole range.

i really want to be able to say, yes, it will work with your device.

> there had been sequences of trades with batches of 100 shares sold at continuously smaller values with very little difference between one batch and the next and the difference was in 3rd and 4th decimals

This sounds like the interaction between run-of-the-mill execution algorithms.

Bidding algo is likely a market maker putting out small quotes (100 shares is a standard lot) and adjusting down (up) the price each time the bid (offer) is hit (lifted). Selling algo trying to liquidate a larger block without moving the market. It is hitting the top bid from time to time. If those two are the only market participants talking for a few milliseconds, they'll walk down the price in 100-share increments. Given how volatile GameStop was, I suspect the predatory algorithms, who sniff out this sort of stuff, were offline.
Beam has raised $9.5M to reinvent the browser
Google tried this. They set up this cadillac in-house childcare system, as you'd expect from Google, but it got out of hand as it scaled. When they switched to charging the parents more of the program cost, there was a huge backlash. Even with the higher price they couldn't meet demand, leading to waitlists and eventually a random lottery just to get a place. I bet Google management wish they'd never started the whole thing now.
One potentially untapped potential of Racket that I think about is sort of as a universal language platform. Seeing more already existing languages reimplemented in Racket would be cool. I know the underlying implementations of other languages don't always line up to Racket, and that you wouldn't be able to use the libraries of the language in question, but it could potentially reduce the friction of extending software you love.

You want to extend this piece of software to suit your needs, but aren't a fan of Racket, extend it in a language with Javascript like, Python like, Java like syntax etc (that ultimately compiles to Racket). An example would be a Game Engine in Racket, that has bindings to other languages a la the Godot Engine, or some other piece of standalone software.
