And the reason their orders execute in front of others' is because they offer the best price. If they didn't exist I would have to pay a little bit more to buy, or sell for a little bit less.

Is the full paper available without a login? Alternative matching schemes to price-time priority suffer their own drawbacks. Either there's no guarantee your whole order will fill (pro rata) or trade at all, and there can still be a speed arms race (there's an incentive to get your order in at the last possible moment before the batch to benefit from maximum information).
Why would a business pay the this large fine, unless it lead to their continued existence and profitability. In this case the word 'fine' is better thought of as 'registration fee'. Being forced to stop their current product (BIAs) and relaunch the new Yield product seems to indicate the new product has the SEC's blessing.
Joplin, the Open source note-taking app¹, has Mermaid built-in.

I use those a lot when keeping my notes on arcitectures, design patterns and software design. I prefer this, vastly, over Google Docs + draw.io.

The only thing I dislike about Mermaid-in-Joplin is that the live-pre-render of the actual chart fails and shows an error whenever there is an error in the source of the diagram. Which makes sense. But is annoying because *when you are typing out the syntax, there always is an error untill you finish the class, object, some bracket or relation.

In my personal project, I simply have two sets of templates and which one I use depends on the user agent. It isn't possible to adapt the same exact markup to two input paradigms this different without compromise.

Firefox, like most modern software, is suffering from Winchester house syndrome. Hiring full-time UX designers and making them perpetually justify their salary will eventually turn any software into an unusable, unlearnable amorphous blob that blindly follows trends and alienates even the most determined users, much like hiring dozens of full-time plumbers for your house would transform it into a sci-fi movie set given enough time and money.
There is so much free information out on the airwaves, if you only had the protocol docs available. In addition to the usual pseudo-voyeur stuff (police/fire/EMS/Burger King drive-thru radios), I've seen people downloading telemetry data from space probes, decoding GPS, tracking airplanes with ADS-B, and of course, bus timetables.
> BlockFi made a false and misleading statement for more than two years on its website concerning the level of risk in its loan portfolio and lending activity.

As the order linked above indicates, BlockFi knowingly deceived investors. In the financial/investing context of this discussion, “to scheme” is to plan and execute deception, with intent of personal gain. Thus, my attempt to reword using your provided language rather than the order’s:

> BlockFi’s scheming led investors to believe that BlockFi was a lower-risk investment than it was in reality.

Note that any errors in translation from SEC wording to your provided terminology are my own, and that I’m making a good-faith effort to help build a verbal bridge from your confusion to an example of specific language in the order that addresses it. If my verbal bridge is insufficient, then please accept my apologies and I hope you’re able to find the answers you seek from others, or in the order itself.

>while fivea/pshc's words might accidentally encourage that confusion, they were not confused, and were not conflating the two.

Probably more semantics. I don't claim to know what's in fivea/pshc's heads or whether they themselves are confused. I was speaking to my observation that their comments merged the two issues.

You may prefer phrasing like, "their words might accidentally encourage confusion" versus "conflation". I'd say conflation is the mechanism there, but OK.

Or you might prefer I specifically clarify "their comments conflated the two" vs "they conflated the two".

OK.
Wow! This brings back a lot of memories. Played a ton of Graal Online between 1999-2001. I remember the Graal 2001 and Graal 3D servers being marketed as the next big thing. Loved the playerworlds (n-pulse, unholy nation, bravo, delteria, etc). Not only was the game free but it ran great on bad dial-up and slow PCs.

I had my first coding experiences with Graal Online trying to make maps for it. I wanted to become a LAT (level administrator) for one of the playerworlds. The level editor was very easy to use and so was the game scripting language. It was great for creative people.

The game had a LOT of player made content. There were so many different heads, bodies, swords, maps, items, etc. When you opened the game folder, you could all the skins your game client had downloaded from other players.

There was also a local version of the Graal classic server which you could play split screen with someone. The map was huge and had all sorts of things. Good times just trying to explore it all!

Wider fonts are significantly easier to read than narrow fonts which is the main point a programmer typically optimizes for. Since most editors can reflow anyways and programmers are relatively conservatives for max width anyways my general experience is that I have more than enough space on the right unused.
Micromanagement is a negative and is unhealthy. If you are being micromanaged, that's grounds for finding a new job instantly. Absolutely nothing to do with what industry you work in.

Performance reviews is another bag. That is bag of issues. My last job, I got my first performance review. I was expecting a good raise. I was a leader of the team, people would come to me constantly looking for help with their issues. Out of a team of ~30 sysadmins, only 2 people(including me) had any networking skills. I was valueable. I was available afterhours regularly, I billed ~50-60 hour weeks. I worked on multiple teams for clients, I had many clients who wanted me exclusively. When a coworker ended up in a disaster, I was often dispatched to help in the situation. I often gave out kudos to my coworkers and thanked them for the good work they did. Positivity in MSP is so important because everything we deal with is negative. Something broke, someone ran a virus, etc.

Went into my performance review. I got very poorly rated justifying no raise. So I went into it... why was I so poorly rated?

I had over 40 lates to work. Except that wasn't true. I was often one of the first people into the building in the morning. So what gives?

Oh, every time I worked a weekend and clocked in at say 10am to respond to an emergency... I was late to work. I had worked 40+ weekend days. So if I worked a saturday and sunday, I was late twice. When actually properly evaluated, I was late once and that was with pre-approval for a doctors appt.

That wasn't all, my boss was under the impression that I had no friends there. That I was out of the office too much to build interpersonal relationships with coworkers. That there was 2 people who at the time were anonymous in that they didn't speak highly of me. Turns out... I was being harassed. I had one of my clients provide me a phone recording of my coworker badmouthing me pretty badly.
But why is that a worry? This happened before when IE6 dominated. Firefox was liberation. It can be that again and has set precedent.

What is this referring to?
I don't recall very many people defending Mozilla on the Mr Robot or the Booking.com missteps. Even current and ex-Mozillans lambasted them for those.

I recall a few people defending the sponsored titles (or half-hearted defenses about how it's bad but not that bad since you can turn them off) but those defenses seemed to be largely drowned out by the overwhelmingly negative response.

The only of those that I recall having anything close to "many defenders" was the Pocket integration.
Walk into any Walmart and buy a TracFone. It's about as trivial as can be.

This is what I used to do back when I was poor and couldn't afford a cell phone plan. It was pre-smartphone, but I see data included on the prepaid "minutes" now.

Before cell phones I used to buy minutes on calling cards[1] at Walmart in order to call long distance.

Why stop there? Why not get developers who are "in it for the passion"?
There is a huge grey area. Statistically, people who have committed a crime are more likely to commit crimes again than those who haven't.

That makes for a good argument not to trust them as much, generally speaking.

On the other hand, integrating them back into society (something that's lacking in the US) works well for most.
I don't. But I have found it useful to think about personal development in a kanban-like sense, with various queues and WIP limits. E.g. for physical/health stuff, I have a limit of 1 must-do change and 1 stretch-goal change. My stretch goal for December was moving back toward intermitting fasting. That went well, so my main goal for January was doing the intermittent fasting for real. That also went well, so my main February goal was about starting to train for an upcoming race.

I have a whole backlog of physical/health goals that I could do. Having a WIP limit forces me to decide what's most important when a slot open up. That involves a bunch of thinking about goal-like things, but in a way that makes more sense to me. It also helps me balance desire with capacity; when I tried goal-setting outside of a kanban-like framework, it was easy for me to dream big and then crash when I couldn't hit the goals.
I agree that exams don't always do a great job of measuring actual competency, but I'm not sure they are worthless either.

> This correlates well with the observations made by Google and other large companies that analyse how to identify valuable hires. Turns out that there's no correlation between grades and workplace performance.

These observations probably suffer from a confounding effect known as range restriction. Basically, if Google generally only hires people with a GPA of 3.0 or above, they may have some idea of how GPA variation above that level correlates with job performance, but they don't know about it below that level. So they won't know if people with GPAs of 1.5 will do just as well at Google as people they normally consider.

Suppose Google started hiring people with much lower GPAs than they do today. Anyone want to make a bet what the outcome of that experiment would be?

Well, Google knows, and that's why they don't do the experiment.

For starters, Firfox 97 update made me lost all my open tab and tab groups.
I want Mozilla to stop losing my tabs with every update.
I also suspect a lot of the "Firefox is losing marketshare" is driven in part by ad companies, especially the huge one named Google.

Given how many websites think Firefox in Enhanced Privacy Protection mode is "an ad blocker", of course ad trackers think Firefox is losing marketshare because it isn't feeding their trackers.

Between that and how Mobile Firefox still has to use platform browsers (and a lot of user agent detection picks out the platform browser rather than the "user browser" on mobile), I'd be surprised if Firefox marketshare has dropped as much as the narrative believes.

That said, even before Enhanced Privacy Protection and Mobile, Firefox was down in marketshare compared to the behemoth competitors, and so even if it is a trick of "Heisenberg metrics" that Firefox is losing marketshare, it probably could stand to gain marketshare (to push us away from the growing monopsony).
Oh god... I can't say if you're trolling or not.

I like markdown, and can see the lure of additions such as this one, but I also sometimes wonder whether we gained much compared to troff and its companion programs (pic, eqn, tbl, chem, etc. See https://www.troff.org/prog.html).

If we added Unicode support and html and pdf output to those, I think the main thing we would miss is readability of the raw text. That doesn’t look like much progress in half a century.

https://flujoo.github.io/en/my-approach-to-automatic-musical...

Here are my responses to some comments on Hacker News.

Limitations

To be completely automatic, ch0p1n should be able to

1. analyze
2. generate
3. manipulate
4. select

musical materials to generate music.

Specifically, it should be able to analyze musical structures, generate core musical materials, manipulate these materials to produce more, and select musically good materials to make semantically rather than syntactically correct music.

For now, ch0p1n can at best provide only a framework for manipulating given materials to generate music.

Deep Learning

I have only very general knowledge of deep learning, but I think it is more promising than any other manual approach in automatic composition. I will spend time study it.

Terrible Result?

Some comments say the final generated music sounds terrible, which I can only partially agree.

All music pieces in this blog are generated with MuseScore. To make the music sound less mechanical or less terrible, you need to carefully adjust dynamics, tempos, pedals, etc. And even so, the music may still sound unsatisfactory. The original Beethoven’s sonata generated with MuseScore sounds bad even with dynamics and articulations added.

However, ch0p1n can only deal with pitch and durational aspects of music for now, but to make music sound good, you need to adjust a lot of variables. This is also why I said deep learning is more promising.

Some comments think the terribleness results from that ch0p1n can only generate syntactically correct music which may be musically meaningless. While I agree that ch0p1n has this limitation, I do believe in most cases, syntactically correct music is good enough to sound good.

I will generate more convincing music with ch0p1n in the future.
In the past I used to use Mermaid for simple (but not trivial) flow charts and class diagrams.

I've found some minor rough edges, but in particular, a couple of missing features, one of which I needed (edges going from attribute to attribute in class diagrams).

PlantUML didn't have any of those limitations, so I switched, and never looked back.

For simple-but-not-trivial diagrams, I didn't find any substantial difference in terms of syntax (complexity). I don't have experience on complex diagrams, though.
I'm surprised I've never heard of this...there appears to be a pandoc filter readily available for this. This will be useful...
I know it's cliche and annoying but hear me out first because for me it's table tennis. Or not ping pong per se though I do love that game. But just having an extended, semi-communal break time with low-to-moderate physical activity available and a natural point of interaction with non-eng coworkers was more valuable than I realized at the time.

Yes can I can pick any of those things and carefully create the circumstances for it. I don't want to though. I liked that there was a place and times set aside to combine all of these activities.

I'm fully committed to remote for other reasons and this won't bring me back. But I do miss it, and it's not as simple as "well just go for a walk" or "find time to connect with you coworkers."
Not sure whether you are aware but this issue seems to affect different vendors like Lenovo as well who can't find a solution neither.

The same issue is being reported all over lenovo linux forums as well and for example on https://github.com/erpalma/throttled/issues/255 you see lots of lenovo people reporting the same.

I personally suffer the same issue on my X1G9, the best fix so far is the unload/load all related kernel modules one which makes throttling at least only drop to 1.2 Ghz.
> ASCII charts are very hard to format; you'll really need tools or editor plugins for that.

Even with tools and plugins, creating tables in Markdown (in any flavor) is painful enough that I just don't even try. No one really expects to edit an image with a text editor but tables are tantalizing close.

I'd sooner have ASCII inspired tables that are easier to edit than images and diagrams.
Google search relevance fail: result for “Africa longitude”
Googling for "Africa longitude" returns the grossly misleading "Africa/Coordinates 8.7832° S, 34.5085° E". When you dig into why this so, it seems to be optimized for e-commerce, and no regard for accuracy.

a) This isn't the geographical centre of Africa (Lobeke National Park, 2°37'N 16°06'E, borders of Cameroon/DRC/CAR), or anywhere remotely near it. It's a random rural location 2400km ESE away, in southern Tanzania.

b) Bizarrely, that mystery location is (mis?)labeled "оф. 3, 27 ул. Хабаровская, Bila Tserkva, Russia", which label is in fact turn another place: 49.7968° N, 30.1311° E, which is actually in Ukraine not Russia, but that's another story. I wondered if this was black-hat SEO, but it also seems to be bad QA.

c) The A-plus answer for "Africa longitude" would have been ["17°31′13″W - 51°27′52″E"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geography_of_Africa). But "17.5W - 51.5E"would have been a fine result.

d) ... and the result for "range of longitudes of Africa" is the incomplete and inaccurate non-sentence "Africa's latitude and longitude lies between 9.1021° N, 18.2812° E."(!) which Google extracted as the first sentence of the site it bizarrely chooses as its #1 hit, the small Ottawa e-commerce digital-map site https://www.mapsofworld.com/lat_long/africa.html, which is more concerned with selling stuff than accuracy (seems to have an autogenerated page with incorrect information on latitude and missing longitude for each country). Again, very questionable search relevance, no QA, and you have to wonder how on earth this was ranked above reference sources, encyclopedias, atlases, geography sites.

e) Back to the result for "Africa longitude", and less importantly, the information box with Google Flights doesn't know where it is, but cheerfully offers to sell me a plane ticket with a "15 h 35 min flight" time (from San Jose, CA), strangely precise (and wrong); but when I click through on that link it's a jumble of tickets to "Lagos, Johannesburg, Cape Town, Nairobi, Tenerife", and none with a flight-time under 18h30. And no connection to the "8.7832° S, 34.5085° E" result.

f) Searching Bing for "Africa longitude" gives lots of good map thumbnails (good job)... but their #1 site hit and text result is still the same bad site (https://www.mapsofworld.com/lat_long/africa.html) with the same wrong text "Africa's latitude and longitude lies between 9.1021° N, 18.2812° E". Don't know whether to admire MapsofWorld's SEO company, for somehow sneaking this past both search engines.
I had a hunch some action of this sort was coming down the pipeline. The problem is that so many of these companies give the appearance of being fully law-abiding companies, but there isn't necessarily an easy to check that.

I found it somewhat alarming that people proclaimed that 9% APY interest could be made, in such a way that it implied no risk, in much the same way cash in an FDIC-insured bank account is well-protected.

I think much of this is moving so fast that it's going to take some time before the offerings really come close to offering the same level of safety one finds with an FDIC-insured bank account.
No, that's not what I meant. My point is that because of how science has evolved, with social media and citation hacks and tenure ladders, it is not as effective as it was during Newton's time.
> That's a relatively small area, and hackers with skills are not that common.

It is not some high end zero day they discovered. It is just a misconfigured s3 bucket. There are tools out there which scan for this kind of thing without any code required.

> I'd be happy to burn most of that kind of material, most of us here would also be eager book burners of that first wave also. That's partly why Bradbury's book is True and powerful.

It's a great cautionary tale, but also a slippery slope fallacy:
https://www.thoughtco.com/slippery-slope-logical-fallacy-169...

> Indeed, given the endless parade of imagined horribles one could conjure up for any policy decision, the slippery slope can easily become an argument for doing nothing at all. Yet act we do; as George Will once noted, 'All politics takes place on a slippery slope.'

> The slippery slope fallacy is committed only when we accept without further justification or argument that once the first step is taken, the others are going to follow, or that whatever would justify the first step would, in fact, justify the rest.

Because with each new book or set of books to be burned a decision has to be made that is similar to, but ultimately independent of the prior decisions. There is nothing stopping us from burning more books, just as there is nothing stopping us from not burning more books. The momentum is a factor, but it is not insurmountable, just like it's possible to moderate almost any behavior without resorting to either abstinence or addiction.

Point taken though that every addiction starts with breaking abstinence.
