I do a lot of walking and listen to podcasts when I do it.

I've listened to quite a few Rogan podcasts, I have never heard anything overly objectionable. (I have heard some stuff that was maybe critical of some parts of my own life, but I was ok with it.) Rogan is very entertaining, you might try some and see if you like it.

Also: I've found that I sometimes find podcasts featuring people I completely disagree with. I find that when I listen to these, I frequently learn interesting things. I'm sometimes offended a bit, but I knew that going in. I may be fooling myself, but I think it's making me a more well-rounded person.

As investors in Robinhood I would imagine they love active investing.
I think what is important is the gratification when a team delivers a feature. If a team can produce x amount of work, if this is divided over large number of WIP, the team will deliver much less features and will be less happy and satisfied.
but if the team work on a smaller number of features, the team will complete and deliver more features and be happier and more excited to work more
Not OP but I've setup a continuous reverse SSH from a farm in the South to a Comcast residential service in the Bay area.

SSH works but there's enough latency and other general network variation that makes me think it's not quite good enough an experience to spend a day remotely editting files.

For anything not requiring really low-latency, Starlink absolutely shines. Watching the local news from my childhood farm on the other side of the country via satellite internet feels like the future.
Worthwhile to read the full article, as well as the sources, and decide what is best for you.

> The financial costs and benefits of DCA have also been examined in many studies using real market data, typically revealing that the strategy does not deliver on its promises and is not an ideal investment strategy.

> Recent research has highlighted the behavioural economic aspects of DCA, which allows investors to make a trade-off between the regret caused by not making the most of a rising market and that caused by investing into a falling market, which are known to be asymmetric.
I don’t believe so, no. So for impure or non-idempotent methods, the two versions would not be equivalent.

Simple: you got lucky in a bull market.

Let's revisit how you're doing in the next recession or after a couple bad bets.

If you want a deeper answer you'll have to do your own digging, as it's a big topic. But it's worth starting with the efficient markets hypothesis and reading some of the work of Jack Bogle.
Well, it sure will make him rich.
Making serious indie games, business recap (Part 1)
you have to be aware of the macro environment: reflation, deflation, stagflation and growth all have different assets being better than others. currently we have reflation, so growth companies melt up, finance earns more due to rising rates, etc. once deflation comes you should be mostly positioned out of stocks, so you don't get blown up. 20% drawdown will get eventually compensated, but if you can avoid it, you've just added 20% to your base of compounding interest.
No. This is the canonical implementation written and maintained by Knuth himself.

Now there are a few alternative implementations. Wikipedia list:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LuaTeX

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PdfTeX

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XeTeX

I think all of them have more features like better Unicode support, but probably also more bugs.
The dish basically locks into an orientation after it links up with the satellites, so it's not really a "gimbal" in that it's not constantly moving around.

The dish is heavy and feels tough; I'd be more worried about your mount than the dish itself with regard to wind; we're having 40 mph gusts today in St. Louis and dishy's working fine.

I'm more worried about hail, though... hopefully we can avoid the golf ball variety this spring.

If Notion is the future of the internet, it means we're doomed. Their web version is literally the heaviest website I have ever used. It's actually impressive how slow it is, even Facebook feels lightweight compared to it.
The handwritten notes are very legible, and the margin pictures adds mood. Too bad we don't have an e-reader which does image+handwriting+text.
That's interesting. You can also put an entire game inside of a bootloader.
What is your typical "moat perception" of a Uber-for-X SaaS pitch.

Yes, brand and reputation and credit card details and scale advantages and first mover.

But are these a "moat" or just "stickiness" factors?
It's a very real and terrifying threat. A standard PC has numerous components with their own firmware that can potentially be flashed. Some of those components may have integrity checking schemes that are supposed to ensure only vendor-signed code can be flashed or executed, but don't rely on those measures actually working as intended (and not being exploitable themselves). Hardware vendors are notoriously bad at this.

This is one of the reasons I'm so enthusiastic about the T2 and M1: a hardware root of trust designed by a competent vendor. (Yes, there is a flaw in the T2, but it requires physical access to exploit.) In my opinion, those are the only trustworthy desktops or laptops on the market right now. You'll notice AWS (Nitro) and Google (Titan) also have their own proprietary hardware security chips for the same reason.
Why are there separate QA and Ops teams?
I agree that following web standards gets you a lot in terms of accessibility and is a part of good programming and design.

There's a lot that automated checkers don't find. They can detect if an image lacks an alt attribute, they can't tell if an alt attribute's value is bad. Many are pretty good at at least flagging where there might be a color contrast problem for a human to double-check. They don't automatically find interactive components that aren't keyboard navigable or operable. They don't know when the DOM order of content doesn't make sense.
Mortgages definitely use credit scores — they just don’t only use credit scores. Without that data point they would have a hard time evaluating if you’re a good borrower. They can independently evaluate if you could pay your mortgage but not that you actually will.
Warren Buffett's investing performance can be explained by an intuitive understanding of known market factors (the French-Fama five-factor asset pricing model, etc.) [1].

The Medallion fund is a whole other kettle of fish. Medallion uses extremely sophisticated models which took Jim Simons and his team of math wizards more than a decade to figure out, using vast amounts of historical data and computation. The fact that nobody else is replicating their performance should tell you just how difficult it is.

In 2019, 71% of actively managed funds lagged behind their benchmark according to the S&P. In 2020, it was "just" 57% [2]. Meanwhile, 70% of active funds have been liquidated the last 20 years. There are of course years where actively managed funds are the winners, but over time, actively managed funds tend toward the mean, either lagging or matching the S&P 500.

It's great that you do the library, and for the gui we already have at least two extensible platforms (pigdgin/libpurple and weechat) so you may consider adapting to one of those, it also makes it easy to have one chat client for all needs.

Looks pricey, whats the advantage of that vs setting up wireguard on your own vps for less money?
Yep. Not to mention that MMO game bots aim at automated resource farming and owner still needs to somehow sell it.

Some of the MMO games I've played used this gold transfer "graph" analysis that worked pretty well with really low False Positive Rate.
No one saw it coming in January. Everyone saw it coming the week that it was starting, which is my point. It’s really easy to tell when the big players start taking risk off.

These people are also tracking senators and congress people’s positional moves, as additional macro indicators.
You are wrong, at least versus my intended meaning. If I am dealing with a small company and my business is a decent size chunk of theirs, then I would ABSOLUTELY expect them to cater to me. For example, I expect a ton of flexibility out of my real estate agent or the SaaA startup my company uses. I don't expect the same out of a company serving billions of people.
401k contributions aren't really DCA. It would fall more accurately under DCA if you were given the entire year's 401k contribution at once, and still chose to invest it periodically, rather than all at once.

Or if you got a $10k bonus, and invested it over 6 months or something.

FWIW, lump sum usually beats DCA in the long run.
Yes every row of the index needs to be scanned not every row of the table which is faster than scanning the table.

I am most familiar with MS SQL server and it will most certainly do an index scan for what it thinks is a highly selective predicate with "suffix wildcards" and it can return results faster than scanning the table.

If the index covers the result columns it will scan the index and never touch the table otherwise it will do a key lookup to the table.
Total honesty on this one: I don't think it's right, either.

Biological males are just stronger, in general.

It provides a disadvantage to biological females.
It's good to see there's still a major studio working on the RTS genre. After Blizzard axed the Starcraft team, I thought the genre will soon die out with only the occasional indie every few years.
Reading https://projecteuclid.org/euclid.bams/1183544082 and https://www.saildart.org/TEXDR.AFT%5B1,DEK%5D1, Knuth originally named it TEX and later renamed it to TeX.
What's remarkable to me is that I know you think you're saying something useful and reasonable, but to me you sound indistinguishable from an astrologist. Practically every word sounds more pseudoscientific than the one before it.
If you think someone disagreeing with you is a personal attack then I don't know what to tell you. You tried to dunk on a recently dead guy, which is generally considered bad form, and got called out for it.
> Then consider just how much shares passive funds move all the time due to continuous rebalancing they do due to their self-imposed mandate.

One of the big selling points of passive, market weighted ETFs is their low turnover and high tax efficiency. Vanguard’s S&P 500 ETF (VOO) has an annual turnover of 4%, for example. That’s nothing compared to the turnover in an actively traded portfolio.

Sure they do a lot of trading volume to account for inflows and outflows from the ETF. But one of the very nice properties of market weighting is that there is hardly any rebalancing needed as individual assets drift in price.
If it can be exploited, then it likely has already been exploited.
I don't want that future where every transaction can be tracked and you always need a third party to bless it.

Once cash is abolished, our oligarchy can finally implement negative interest rates for everyone.
Personality tests are really not ok for a multitude of reasons. Almost always are they used to eliminate outliers or fish for personalities which are almost similar to the ones already present. Extremely ironic, as many personality tests emphasize people of different strengths cover weaknesses as long as they don't clash (personal favorite: companies only hiring happy-go-lucky people who won't question things, and then wonder why they critical issues aren't found).

Also, companies who "want to hire for inclusivity" but then eliminate candidates based on a few petty personality differences screams the opposite of inclusivity.
Postgres and the likes allows trigram indexes for like queries, and expression based indexes just fine.
This argument doesn't really pass the smell test.
That's been my experience too. It "works" for local calls but it completely breaks down across a nation.
For the web, screen readers are easy, the only thing I find problematic are some of the color contrast requirements. There have been several instances where we've had to make designs definitively worse in order to accomodate those.

I somewhat question the need, as well—at some of the contrast levels we're talking about, if your vision is that bad, you should really consider enabling a magnifier, color filter, or even a screen reader.

What becomes really problematic, however, are PDFs, which are supposed to be a quick way to offer printed documents digitally, without too much extra work. Making those work with screen readers can take a long time, and there have been some cases where clients decided to just remove them from their websites. I'm not sure what to do about that, but I'm concerned we're creating barriers to sharing information, with anybody.
The other commenter was explicably downvoted because this is not a distinction that's made in the English language; a 'donation' in the vernacular does not imply it is tax-deductible, and this is not a distinction that Google itself is consistent with, since GoFundMe is available on the Play Store, and they refer to contributions made on that platform as 'donations'.

I specified FICO scores. Mortgage lenders might also use their own credit scores, or credit scores from a different data analytics company.

Either way, a score is just a heuristic to avoid wasting underwriter’s time combing through someone’s finances. Once you pass whatever score hurdle a mortgage lender has set, you still have to pass the manual review.

Table aliases make queries much less verbose than using the full table name, and more readable as a result. Aliases are unavoidable when you're joining the table more than once. Not using qualified identifiers is just asking for trouble.

Short aliases - I tend to use the first letter of each word in the table name - work best, IMO.
Or they're just getting played by finance "influencers" who buy into trades first and make most of the profits
My point is that they can, to a degree. The bigger challenge for them is scaling in and out of the size of positions they need to be in to be profitable.

If you’re playing with thousands, you’re playing a completely different game than someone playing with billions. You don’t have to strategize about how to exit. You just exit.
All these specialized jobs--best not, gaffer, makeup--really highlight what's different between software and movie production. On a movie set, nearly everyone is doing exactly the same thing they did on the last movie set. In many software jobs you're never repeating your last project.
Yeah, a glove would allow for much more battery capacity, of course.

I don't think MS ever owned the Nokia communication patents. They only took over the phone and devices business. Nokia the telecom and information technology company still lives and bought (merged with) Alcatel who had previously bought Lucent.

Bell labs (who is doing a lot of telecom R&D) for example is owned by Nokia now (it's called Nokia Bell labs)
Think of it like a unix pipe. That’s what they’re going for with the concatenative paradigm.
That’s not quite right about passive and active though. It almost always resets every quarter (or other liquidity events). Passive introduced delayed price discovery and as a result greater volatility around earnings (or liquidity events). But over medium to long term passive vs active should not matter.
It's a stack-oriented language, so postfix notation kind of comes with the territory.
It's stack based. Written like RPN (Reverse Polish Notation).
My family and I spend a lot of time in the northern Idaho handle near Coeur d'Alene. We love it up here. My wife is Asian (matters to the story), we are liberals, but the folks are generally* terrific and kind. I star “generally” because I would say that the average person is much, much nicer than the folks we meet on the west coast, but the not so great people are much more open with racist, hateful, and frankly scary confrontations. We are invited into peoples homes, have made fast friends with many locals, love the pure beauty of the place, but the lows are much lower when they happen.
I like the idea in general, I have tried something similar before. But I've never understood the appeal of leading commas. It screws up your alignment and just looks messy.

"Imagine 100% is active" <- Did you mean "Imagine 100% is passive"?

That said, I as a buyer-and-holder, I welcome the hordes of active traders willing to expend time, effort, and money to discover the price that I too will be able to trade at.
My point is that they can, to a degree. The bigger challenge for them is scaling in and out of the size of positions they need to be in to be profitable.

Many hedge funds outsource the execution of their trades to HFT, which scales in and out over days.

Google Archegos if you want to see what happens when you liquidate billion dollar positions in a hurry.
Those are just a few examples, the surface area is obviously massive (100s if not 1000s). We both know that. The reality is that iOS was not designed with this attack vector in mind.

> Alternatively, if you run an Internet Of Things company that locks and unlocks doors over an API, if that API goes down, people could be locked out of their houses during emergencies!

Alternatively, don't develop an IoT door lock that will lock people out of their houses if the intern accidentally fucks up in production.
The currency technology that started up with the great benefit of preventing people from being disenfranchised from banking and money ends up being the perfect tool for doing just that.
That sounds amazing! Where would be a good place to start digging into chatbot tech? Specifically, I'm wondering how to dynamically rewrite scripted dialogue and it is a deceptively deep topic.
COBRA lets you continue your insurance plan from your employer for a time period after you leave.

However, your employer no longer contributes to the premiums, which are very difficult to personally front if you dont have an income.

You can buy temporary health insurance to cover yourself between jobs, but it typically is only useful for catastrophic injury, as the deductibles are extremely high to keep the price down.
I remember the same being the case in Poland years ago. "Sending an arrow" was a cheap way of communicating with other people, and it was a savoir-vivre violation to answer a phone that rung for less than five seconds because it could charge someone for a full minute of voice connection even if it was only meant to be an "arrow".

Look at the 2020 survey and you'll see macOS has lost ground.

Both Linux and Windows+WSL have gained ground.

I know several folks who've switched from macOS to either Linux or Windows+WSL (I'm in the latter group -- after being an Apple customer since the early '90s: so I've already gone through two chipset migrations with Apple).
Like I said, I'm not an expert (or at least not an EM specialist). I attended a virtual conference by Richard Banduric a few months ago which I was reminded of when I saw this item. His presentation/lecture is here if you're interested:

I've been doing a deeper dive to try to find some corroboration for the "additional" scalar element - there's a lot of obvious junk science around the work of e.g. Tom Bearden (cheniere.org), but I've also found this, which calls it a "temporal field" but seems to be a similar derivation:

Wow, a lot of responses, this one will get buried, but here I go anyway.

In my opinion, what makes most of the wrongs we see is that computing is very young and we haven't had the time to set up half decent solutions for anything.

There is a huge demand for any solution, because a bad solution is better than no solution. The Kubernetes vs sysadmin is like the Diogenes story. There are two versions. In one of them someone tells Diogenes "if you praised the king, you wouldn't need to eat lentils" and he replied "if you ate lentils you wouldn't need to praise the king". In the other version it's just the same story only Diogenes talks first.

I don't like lentils. I don't like to praise the king either. Both are terrible solutions, but while we have kingpraiseless burgers, we need to choose something that somehow works.
I had a Doc Brown moment where upon reading just the headline I just said 'Akon? The singer?'
B-tree's do not work that way. They are inherently ordered, and contain min/max that help to determine if you can skip the page for a given condition. The min/max cannot be used for suffix wildcards.

Unless the index contains all the columns you're dealing with, the optimizer will determine that just scanning the table will cost less than scanning an index AND then looking up the data in the table (bookmark lookups in MSSQL).
Did those same people see the subsequent bull run, that occurred much faster than most were predicting?

There's a lot of people who think they're smart enough to time the market, but have just been lucky. In the long run, that catches up to most of them, which is one of the reasons passive investing wins out in the end, on average
