Yeah, seems to be pretty typical still. Hopefully it changes sooner rather than later.

That's interesting to hear about the Refinitiv API, are there any public docs for it and do you know if they provide client libraries for Python and R? Obviously data quality has to be our number one priority, but I'm so fed up with writing a bunch of boiler plate code to interact with the large data providers, at this point my second priority is just ergonomics and that means a decent client library that's dependency free (looking at you Bloomberg with your blpapi package) and has support for batch and streaming data.

From what I understand it seems like upon initial release, the Polygon folks did have some data quality issues, but based on my own experience and anecdotes in /r/algotrading they've significantly improved. Can't really provide anything more concrete than that though, sorry.

Another provider I like is Intrinio, they have some pretty interesting methods for automating QA, esp for some of the more unstructured data like 10-K's and 10-Q's.
"held the American economy together". That's like saying I've kept my personal finances together by maxxing out my credit card. The American economy is insanely deep in debt, spurred on by Fed policy, and as far as what happened during the pandemic, the bill hasn't come in yet, but the inflation that started last year is certainly a preview of not-so-good things to come.
The least expensive option to start out with is to try out emulators running the ROMs (for home computers) or operating systems (for minicomputers like the PDP-11 and VAX that you mention and decide whether you really enjoy playing around with what are, by modern standards, very limited environments.

You will want to have a general idea of how a computer is internally structured but at a deeper level than is usually presented in popular material. I would suggest at least skimming through Tannenbaum's "Structured Computer Organization" (far more amenable to skimming than Patterson & Hennessy) and gleaning the high level concepts. Some may suggest Petzold's "Code" but I feel it's more aimed at a general audience than a technical audience. Others may suggest Nisan & Schocken's "The Elements of Computing Systems" used in their Nand2Tetris course but that's probably too low-level for what you want.

To get started with physical hardware, Ben Eater has videos for building a breadboarded computer based on the 6502 processor, which was used in the Apple II and Commodore 64: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLowKtXNTBypFbtuVMUVXN... that you can use to build your first computer. He also has parts kits available to make things easier: https://eater.net/6502. Some may suggest the videos he has for building an 8-bit computer from scratch (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLowKtXNTBypGqImE405J2...) but that also might be too low level for what you want.

From there, you'll probably understand enough to build breadboarded machines using other processors. Switching to an Intel 8088 which was used in the IBM PC will give you a 16-bit machine and the Motorola MC68000/MC68008 which was used in the early Macs, both of which are available in breadboardable DIP packages on eBay and elsewhere, will even give you a 32-bit machine to play around with.

Hi all, I'm a senior studying CS at NYU in Manhattan, looking for junior development or new grad engineering roles.

I have a heavy background in Quantitative trading and engineering, especially with derivatives and U.S Equities. I have heavy experience with fintech, as well as a personal background in public policy and government. I'm open to any roles that are willing to take on a new grad. Please feel free to reach out to me by any means!
I did look at the original submission. My original comment explicitly said and still says the bot sucks. My comment is around what the bot is trying to do in principal, not what it has failed to do in practice
The whole patent system is a mistake.

It does fosters innovation, but it doesn't offset the cost it causes to innovation. It is very likely the common defense of patents suffers from the broken window fallacy.

The main purpose it seems to serve nowadays is to make it easier for certain classes of corporations to gain funding. And that is really it.
I found that a fast immutable in memory database like Datascript solves both problems quite nicely.
I don't think this is correct. I'm lucky enough to be on a level where turning down a 100k increase in salary is something that I have to routinely do because my current job ticks so many boxes and I genuinely love it and don't have to risk it for that amount.
It really wouldn’t. Unless by insulation and heat sources you mean… by putting the pipes inside the house.

Otherwise you’re just building a house around your outside pipes.

No amount of insulation is going to help your pipes outside overnight under a certain temperature. The water isn’t moving because you aren’t using any of it.

We had some pipes inside under the floor of an old addition of an older farmhouse which regularly froze despite being inside, our wellhouse had hundreds of watts of heating. There’s no chance of pipes exposed outside in a northern US climate not freezing.
I'm a pen tester for a mid-ish sized company. I recently got approval to remove "port security" (802.11x) on a single port within the building. It is amazing the amount of access I now have (using a non-company managed laptop, plugged into this port).

Once a bad guy has equivalent access, they are very deep into our network (and have bypassed multiple layers of controls).

I don't think my company is unique in any way. I would expect this level of access at most companies to be game-over / large problem.
> At the same time, cryptocurrencies still haven't provided a killer app that shuts everyone up.

I disagree. The killer app is cash and that use case was intentionally killed by the bitcoin maximalists.
I am also a child of an immigrant family, but my prior probabilities put me on high alert around people who egregiously use the US flag (or flag of any nation at this point).

Maybe putting one on your house is OK, but the more fanatic you seem, the more on alert I am. Most normal people I meet just use it on 4th of July or something, but if you are draping yourself, your business, your car in it, then I assume you have a higher likelihood of being tribal for a tribe I am not part of.

And my experience is the people who fly the flag the most are the first to cheat on taxes and try to take advantage of others in society (especially not in their tribe), and then use that “patriotism” as a veil to hide behind.

Same thing with all the other signals Spivak mentioned.
Like I have said, besides the RNG, the only other problem is with the possibility of remote connections to the computer chipset.

Any other malicious behavior is implausible, as either easy to detect or requiring too much information about the future (to be able to determine what to do and when to do without a remote control connection). Self-destruct is something that could happen e.g. after a certain number of active hours, but this would make sense only if you are a target for someone able to load special firmware into your own computer. If that would be a general feature of a computer, it would be easily detected after it would happen randomly.

So if you do not trust the HW, you must prevent remote connections. This is easy for desktop/server computers, if you do not have WiFi/Bluetooth/LTE and you do not use Intel Ethernet interfaces (or other chipset Ethernet interfaces, with remote management features) connected to the Internet or to any other untrusted network. Towards untrusted networks, you must use Ethernet interfaces without sideband management links, e.g. you may use securely USB Ethernet interfaces.

Unfortunately, currently there is no way to completely trust laptops when WiFi connections are possible, even if they claim that e.g. Intel vPro is disabled. In any case, it is still better if the manufacturer claims that this is true (like in my Dell laptop), even if you cannot verify the claim with certainty.

Even if someone would be able to connect remotely to your computer and spy you, they will have access only to your unencrypted or active documents.

If you use a bad RNG for encryption purposes, then the spies could also access any encrypted and non-active documents, which is a much greater danger.

In conclusion, the RNG is still in the top position of the hardware that cannot be tested and cannot be trusted. Nothing else comes close.
Anyone else miss the sound from old stepper motor hard drives? Like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xy3uWRuQXl0#t=4m30s

I've been tempted to write something the monitors kernel io stats and softly beeps at me, but maybe those days should just stay behind us...
The effect of the problem is that, if the inclusive language bots win (which I'm confident they will absent some kind of counterargument), I'll have to communicate in a form of English I consider awkward and stilted and I'll have to implicitly endorse a couple of political stances about the concept of gender neutrality I don't agree with. I don't know how to quantify that into a "magnitude", but I don't think that's a precondition for discussing the issues of the day.

Is your reasoning just that most things don't work as expected, and this is a thing, so it probably won't work as expected? Or do you know something specific about the chemistry of this particular process?
I get this functionality on MacOS with https://www.hammerspoon.org/

Every morning I hit Command+Option+W (W for work), which opens Slack, Teams, Email, Dashboards, VPN, and terminals with ssh connections, plus all windows open where I want them automatically. Then when I’m done for the day I hit Command+Option+Shift+W and all my work stuff magically disappears. It’s straightforward to set up with good documentation, but you must architect your own system for automating tasks like this. Hammerspoon can be pretty powerful for MacOS quality of life automation.

Did that make it into any releases?
Depth of knowledge is impossible to assess for anyone that doesn't have similar depth in the same subject matter.

The author could be bullshitting (he's not) but how would anyone who's not driven vehicles that are decades beyond their design life know?
Not that would be comfortable for an adult, but the newer Courtyard King Size rooms have single-person pull-outs that I think are a lot better than what they have at Residence Inn.
I cover that scenario in the next paragraph of my original post.
Huh? I make a good income and have for the past decade plus. I'm not referring to my situation - I'm referring to systemic issues in the US. Do you think a country where high school students are concerned with removing lead from their water is functioning well?
No that's pretty much the point I was making. The person I was responding to implies they have firsthand knowledge of the needs of the unbanked and "financially oppressed" globally.

I don't think knowledge that broad is possible and so it's largely a rhetorical move ("WHAT SO YOU HATE THE POOR & OPPRESSED??"). I have firsthand knowledge of at least one group in this category that isn't helped by this technology so I shared it.

The needs of the rich anywhere aren't an interest of mine so I don't know what their use case is. My point is that there are many use cases, and if you're going to assert one you should be specific about who it applies to.
> I will say Western education massively downplays the actual size of Africa with our mercator maps

IME, Western education just about completely downplays everything about the non-West. Geographical size is just one small facet of this.
That’s a funny sport. For years the SF area events were dominated by a guy who ran a ‘78 Toyota Corolla hatchback. Or what had once been that car, anyway.

Yeah I was wondering this. Would they be ok with 4K scaled to look like 1440p? In my experience it's not too noticeable and still looks better than native 1440p even on Mac.

The other big gotcha this monitor has is that like every monitor Apple has made for the past 20 years it only has a single input. It's really tough to find another monitor these days that doesn't have multiple and just can't see any real upside to not having at least an HDMI port (for your Apple TV of course) available.
They sort of imply that only the Studio display would have given him a DPI increase over his previous 27" 1440p display. Any 4k screen would have also done that.

Then he concludes that 600nits is unnecessary and that he doesn't need or want the USB-C ports.

I have no idea why he went with the apple display instead of any good 4k screen for 400$, or two of them.
I don't think it's "rule of law" here, but information parity.

How you become sure you have as much information about the subject as the person you're dealing with (i.e., whether that's because it is required by law and you expect to have some recourse if it's violated, or because you are confident that you've had access to the relevant information for some other reason) isn't really important.
If you would recall there has already been an election after 2014.

Yes, there's a whole series on addiction on the site that goes into the nuances of it: https://www.deprocrastination.co/blog/what-is-addiction
I lived for over 20 years a half mile from the Bob's Big Boy restaurant with car service in Burbank, CA, where the S. California Classic Car Club has their weekly meet up and show case. Every single friday night, a dream series of amazing autos and the fanatics that keep them running show up and bait everyone with their jewels. My dad was a car dealer and I grew up with him restoring classics, so I know the dedication they require. Yet, a half dozen times I nearly talked myself into buying one of those beauties on the spot. Closest I came was a running, but yet to be fully restored Model A that some 50's teen made a hot rod. That 50's teen was the old man selling the car after it sat in his backyard for 40 years. Walking way from that was very difficult.

This is true, but seems unlikely from my analysis this far. The class loader behavior is vastly different and attempting to access classes is failing to write fields (getting the default: Field is not accessible when attempting to write bean) on all payloads that I have been trying.

I have stopped my research for now because of the limited scope so I am not spending more time debugging the exact differences in the class loaders in use here, because the configuration required for the exploit to work makes 99.9% of my use cases just plain not work as it is default web form marshalling which we do not do.

We of course are updating: You should update too, it's good hygiene, but the fact of the matter is this is no where close to the same blast radius for the reason that it requires such a bad configuration to start with and doesn't affect non-public services like log4shell had the possibility to do.
That makes some logical sense to me though. If your keyboard layout is set up for a Apple keyboard where the function keys are actually OS specific keys, then it shouldn't matter if your keyboard has a F[1-9]+ printed on them or Apple symbols. The key will just do what it's mapped to do.

It's like expecting a DVORAK keyboard to work when the computer is still in QWERTY mode. There's just more matching overlap between keyboards with function keys vs Apple symbols.
Well, Vitalik is a robot...
You should check out the regolith project then.

It’s pretty awesome, I just wish someone would start an equivalent project for sway.
I often disagree with the viewpoint of an Onion article while simultaneously finding it funny. Same with comedians. I don't need to agree to appreciate a humorous approach the expression of an opinion.
This is not surprising. Pretty much anything that we experience subjectively can be affected by willful projection of our mental intention. Placebo effect is another name for this phenomenon. Meditative states and specific focus in those meditative states can cause cessation of pain, states of euphoria, tingling, out-of-body sensations, etc.
> Sometimes I’d have an actor so stubborn that I’d say, All right, let’s do it two ways. We’d do it my way, and I’d say to my assistant, Print that. Then to the actor, All right, now your way. We’d do it his way with no celluloid in the camera.

This bothers me.

Why the deception? Was film really that expensive? Just capture the footage both ways—as in, actually capture it—and see what works better in the editing room? What's the harm in trying it? What if the actor is right?

I'm okay with the director getting the final say—someone has to make a final decision eventually—but you should be open to other ideas form your team.

You can put insulation and siding over the pipes outside what is currently the house (and remove insulation inside if necessary). That way the pipes will stay at the same temperature as the inside of the house. Or, as https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30878006, heat tape. As an extra bonus, if they do freeze, they'll leak outside the house instead of flooding inside the house.
