Feature request: Allow to connect TradingView alarms to this. TV alarms allows for webhooks to be called. If you guys allow that to be a trigger for the rules, then you don't have to worry about adding indicators. TV has by far the best collection of indicators, strategies, etc, so why not just supporting the alerts?

Alternatively, maybe somehow support TV indicators? Not sure if "pine" (I think is the name of the language) is open source.

Thanks for the clarification. I was indeed a bit confused by some of the implicit assumptions as an intuitionist myself.
"I would argue that the efficient market hypothesis is problematic "

It is well established by research. It is has a good theoretical foundation. It is problematic for this business, true.

> the aspirational launch cost

So, it means nothing.

The Space Shuttle also was supposed to be cheap and almost completely reusable, it turned out to be one of the most expensive launchers. BFR is not the space shuttle, but I will not make any speculation before I can actually order a launch.

Elon Musk is known for overpromising. The tech is awesome, and SpaceX realizations speak for themselves, but I consider anything Elon Musk says "not even wrong".

I mean, I love SpaceX, and I follow BFR closely, but I think it would be better without the sensationalism.

Block size is a nuanced discussion and it was maybe a larger problem then you realize.

Argument for big blocks: Faster and cheaper transactions (lower fee), as well as more transactions per second. Can use more like cash, i.e. Bitcoin Cash. Everything should be done on-chain. They also argue that small blocks are a money grab from Blockstream so that the network is forced to adopt layer 2 solutions that Blockstream develops.

Argument for keeping block size the same ("small blocks"): Larger blocks means more hard drive space and bandwidth are required, and mining becomes more centralized based on those increased requirements. Big blocks are a money grab from the miners, since they make more money on bigger blocks. An additional concern is if the availability of hard drive space will increase in line with the growth of the network. They suggest to use the Bitcoin Core network more as a settlement layer and a store of value, and not everything needs to be on-chain. They suggest layer 2 solutions like the Lightning Network to use Bitcoin more like cash and enable fast transactions, as well as increase the number of transactions per second. I understand the Lightning Network has some caveats, but from what I've heard from institutions like NYDIG and Strike, that are already using it, it is already working as is.

All I'm saying is maybe it's not just a small problem. The decisions affect a global network and some of the decisions were said to potentially cause major problems.

For one thing it's easy to build a bash line or even a NodeJS script that produces a lot of output that is dominated by the terminal's capability to render. When you benchmark it against the same thing but with a `foo > /tmp/foo.txt` redirection into a file, you'll notice that on bad terminals, it's several times or even orders of magnitudes faster than rendering to the screen. Many, many terminal emulators I have tried in the past did look sleek at first sight but then failed miserably a simple `cat manylines.txt` test.

That's why they don't want to hire us. We're less exploitable. They claim it's because "you can't teach an old dog new tricks", but if that were true no one would go to a doctor over 40. But there's some older workers who may need the money.
A discussion in my present office (it was weird being in the office again this week after nearly a year of full-time WFH) led me to do some searches for another article [0]. Typing in Repenning's name, however, brought me to this article which was even more appropriate to the discussion, as we are dealing with the consequences of a choice to stick with a Waterfall workflow when something Agile-ish would be better (in fact, both articles were relevant to our discussion, the insistence on the present structure and a "work harder not smarter" attitude has crippled their ability to deliver software in a timely fashion and is putting the contract with their customer at risk).

However, I realized while reading this particular article that what they had was less Waterfall ("Factory" in the article) and instead had deviated into the "Ineffective Iteration" mode of working. The work itself was ambiguously defined, meaning collaboration was more critical to successful resolution. But instead of collaboration they remained with the heavy boundary between roles.

It’s essential that the people who built those businesses receive a corresponding amount of wealth in exchange: it is their main motivator to create the business in the first place.

Businesses which, remember, add a tremendous amount of value to the society - value which is much greater than the wealth their founders receive.

No billionaires implies no founders. No founders implies no businesses. No businesses implies a poor, stagnant society where every body suffers. Kind of like all the communist experiments of the last century.
As long as you're prepared for the political backlash when someone is unhappy with the selection.

I want to like Zig, but I also want operator overloading because multiplying matrices together in chains of functions is among the ugliest code I've ever had to look at. There have been more than a couple decent suggestions for making it clean and obvious, but there are a few things that Andrew isn't willing to budge on.

> defer is pure genious

Being able to defer for resource cleanup is nice. I like that Zig makes it a priority to make things adaptable (not sure that's the right word). For example, everything in the std lib that allocates, takes an allocator object, so if you want to implement a custom allocator, it's very simple to use. If you want to use a custom event loop for async, it's easy to substitute. All in all, I think its shaping up to be a nice language, just not for me.
The idea is great but I believe the filter needs some tweaking to deliver actual "pog" moments. I wonder if similar thing is used internally by twitch's recommendation system.

Dunno yet. MSAs were always a key input to Rosetta (previous best method). How they were used was very different.

Fundamentally, everything in this space (= non-physical methods) is about inferring structure from things that are closely related. And you can't solve the problem at all for non-trivial proteins using physics, so here we are.

A lot of commenters jumping on the "cut out the middle tier" title.

The bulk of the content is simply about formatting JSON in the DB instead of manually mapping rows in the application layer.

It doesn't say "eliminate your API layer" or "have no application logic between client and db" as most are jumping to.

I find the actual methods described as helpful in that I can convert to the data structures I ultimately want in one pass instead of two.

Doesn't mean I don't have validation or a traditional API layer. Just easier to use.

I think it’s worth pointing out that ad blockers only became popular because ads came to be so badly behaved.

The earliest iterations of banner ads weren’t that bad. They were basically print ads with some low-key animations added at worst, and many weren’t even graphical.

But then arose an arms race to create the most attention-grabbing, obnoxious ads possible, and ad supported pages quickly became neon disco raves that sucked up CPU cycles and sometimes even hijacked users’ browsers. This was the first tipping point.

And then ads became ever more invasive, fingerprinting users in any way possible. This was the second tipping point.

Had web ads stayed lightly-enhanced, unscripted print ads, I doubt anybody would care to install an ad blocker, but here we are today where doing so is practically essential not just from a privacy standpoint, but also from a security standpoint (since ads can exploit 0days).

So the industry largely brought this upon itself, at least in my eyes.
Right -- but the solution here is simple, it just destroys much of the business model for the advertisers themselves:

The answer is, "advertisers, open up to all of us exactly how it all works. Tell me honestly and truthfully what it is you would like to track and what you would like to know about me, and how you intend to use it and from that I will decide what to tell you."

1. What percentage of your loans end up being delinquent for each of the countries you are in?

2. How do you handle defaults?

Your FAQ mentions:

If you miss a scheduled payment, Zidisha will issue one courtesy reminder by text message to your mobile phone. If the payment still is not made, Zidisha will request mediation from members of your community. If mediation is not effective, Zidisha may determine that the loan is defaulted. The consequences of defaulting on a Zidisha loan include disqualification from funding any new loans in the future, reporting of the default to your national credit bureau, and legal prosecution resulting in confiscation of property, fines and other legal penalties.

But then I noticed elsewhere on the site, mentions of a “ Credit risk payment: Goes into a fund that compensates lenders for loan defaults”.

Five years should be long enough to see people make changes, for good or for bad, though we won't see all the costs/benefits in the intervening time. Five years gives them enough time to make substantial time/education/skill investments in themselves by going to college/trade school, having a child, or learning a new skill. Five years also gives people enough time to develop negative habits/lifestyles such as drug or video game addictions.

What change do you think would take more than five years to see?

Couldn't they still demand ransom in BTC? I assume if BTC is largely banned in the US, it will still exist. Exchanges will still exist (in some countries) and it'll still be traded.

Perhaps I don't quite appreciate the complexity of this problem, but creating housing for 6,000 people seems pretty feasible and achievable.

No, you likely don't appreciate the complexity.

Homeless people are people. "Canned" solutions for 6000 people who have only one thing in common -- they are poor and living in X area -- tend to not work.

Across the entire nation, we do desperately need to figure out how to let the market provide housing that makes sense for people and is affordable. A large piece of that is removing barriers to market-based housing development and we tend to not focus on that.

Through my career only twice side projects have been brought up during the interview:

The prime numbers are critical in cryptography. Almost all of our current digital security infrastructure is based on the concept of multiplying large numbers together modulo suitably big prime numbers.

Any major step towards understanding them (such as a closed-form equation for primes) would have major mathematical knock-on effects which may or may not undermine these methods, or provide us with a basis for even stronger cryptographic mechanisms to make use of in the future.
In general, people are not used to formally separating power and energy as concepts, much less as units of measure.

This makes perfect sense because most of the measurements of things we own or consume are counted in units like area, volume, and energy, which are inherently more tangible than an instantaneous rate like "power". Speed is a bit of an exception to this, but I think that has to do with the ubiquity of speedometers in cars.

To the extent that people broadly understand power as distinct from energy they tend to do so in a mechanical, not an electrical context, and in less precise terms ("That's a powerful truck"). However, some exceptions to this are light bulbs and electric space heaters, where people generally understand power as being proportional to brightness and heat output.

In a way, it's an incredible testament to the engineering of electrical systems that people have been able to largely ignore the difference between power and energy, or just need to flip a circuit breaker if something exceeds a limit.
