> I believe you want to optimize for the hardest day rather than the average day.

I think this is a huge mistake. I work in data science, and nearly universally my colleagues are motivated by opportunities to learn. If you're testing for the very rare day, so that your employee has the right answer in their front pocket when that happens they are never going to feel challenged, feel like they're growing, and they're going to jump ship.

I think you're doing snobby filtering, and it's not to your benefit.
> it was all so obvious that inflation, war and fed rising rates will happen, right

I'm an extremely boring passive investor who doesn't know anything about macroeconomics but I was definitely hearing people across the political spectrum warning about inflation 2 years ago. And as long as I've been on this site people have thought the Fed's interest rate was causing market distortions.
Well to be fair sometimes there's very little econ in public markets!

Temporarily true in certain jurisdictions, but OTOH one may with RUB purchase oil, natural gas, palladium, nickel, copper, steel, aluminum, wheat, fertilizer, etc. So, those who need e.g. catalytic converters, especially if they live on the 70% of the planet where there are no limits on RUB whatsoever, will probably continue to use it.

> A toy maker linking themselves to a platform known for its links to the illegal (including child sexual material) is wild. Why is there no effort to shut that down? Does this say something about Japanese culture in that if a US company had similar links there'd be a public outcry?

It's fundamentally the same problem that any website faces if it allows user uploaded content. If anything, 4chan was one of the first websites to develop robust procedures for rapidly removing illegal content, given how frequently they had to deal with it in the early-mid 2000s. By the late 2000s, it was pretty rare to see objectionable content before the mods removed it. 4chan's administrators also testified for the government in criminal cases, including the hack of Sarah Palin's emails: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarah_Palin_email_hack

If they had shut down the site entirely, there would have been a dozen spinoffs the next day hosted around the world, with owners who wouldn't play ball with the US government.
indeed, but it's funny how we use the word phrase "'common' sense", isn't it?
It's hard to know exactly without staring at the code and knowing the exact CPU, because nothing stands out as a red flag. If you used an extra register, maybe you caused a spill (pushed something else out of registers into memory). Maybe you made the loop code bigger and it no longer fit in the loop stream buffer (if that model had one). Maybe you hit a weird frontend decode issue and it could only decode N-1 instructions per clock in that line instead of N, and that was critical to the loop's performance. Maybe your code layout changed for another reason, or the memory layout, and you got some bad cache aliasing.

These things are knowable if you have enough curiosity and maybe masochism :)

“I wouldn't extrapolate on what she has or hasn't read haha, that's just silly”

i cringed reading that
I implemented multiversion concurrency control[1]. I am interested how transactions are implemented without it. You need snapshot isolation too so you cannot read dirty writes and avoid phantom reads.

PolarDb sets commit timestamp to null and asynchronously changes the commit timestamp after a commit but has a CTS ring buffer for transactions that are still active. The reading transactions has to check this to see if the transaction is part way through committing.

The getting the behaviour of all at once or not at all is an interesting problem to have.

I use a database timestamp to solve this problem which is the latest transaction to have committed.

I think postgres does something clever with minimum and maximum timestamps on each tuple.

There is no such thing as test matches being "real" cricket, at least not anymore. T20, ODI and Test cricket are just different flavours of the same sport, differing slightly in rules and duration of matches. T20s, the shortest versions of cricket, have taken over as the more entertaining and palatable form of the game.
More generally, I think we can state, it is difficult if not impossible to manufacture long term stability in any inherently unstable system, which all financial markets and human economies are. Better to acknowledge and accept that reality, understand the nature of the inherent volatility, and work to become robust and resilient against it.

Scalable, self-similar, clustering, and long memory are some of the characteristics of the fractal-style randomness of financial markets. Thus, build in safety factors, multiple redundancies, hedges, etc. with those characteristics in mind.

The whole point of this thread is realization of opposite. Slower algo executes only 2 instructions in a loop, but second one directly depends on the result of the first (induces pipeline stall) while the fast version brute forces a ton of instructions at full CPU IPC.
You must know how difficult and complicated projects such as databases are.

You need to be an invested person to casually read the sourcecode of postgres or random database project.

I have some ideas on HTTPS://GitHub.com/samsquire/ideas4 of how I would cause programming to be easier to pick up and run with a piece of mature software. There is inevitably A LOT to learn to onboard yourself with a large codebase, it takes months or years to get familiar at work so it would take the same or longer for open source.
I thought MS verified the drivers on their server ?

You misunderstand my complaint.

Windows already does this. There's a volume mixer where each app has its own volume. That's still the case AND the game/app has a separate volume.

So the actual volume playing is effectively:

Hardware volume x Windows master volume x Windows app volume x In-app volume

No one wants or needs that level of control. You end up adjusting these separately as you need until you find out one day the hardware volume is on max but the master volume is near zero and you've been compensating for that by maxing out the in-app volume.

I personally use NixOS for everything, so I totally get the want for versioned config as an advanced user. But I did the opposite and put HA on a raspberry pi. If I die or am incapacitated I want my wife and kids to still be able to manage the lights and other automations. I'd also probably just leave the pi with the house if I sold it, since it is an integral piece needed to fully utilize a lot of installed hardware in the house. I mean I wouldn't take out the sprinkler computer either.

Wow! That's all really informative. I had thought that a non-striped, mirrored disk should be usable if the H/W RAID controller failed (given that all the data is stored on the disk) but I didn’t know for sure. I didn’t think it would also be possible to recover striped disks.

Thanks for the great advice on using LVM and the commands for replacing a disk. I only recently cane across a system that used the disk block device itself as a physical volume – rather than partitioning it via fdisk or parted. Other than using LVM for creating snapshots, I haven't really used it for anything interesting.

I haven’t read the piece yet, but am commenting on your comparison of the AUM of Ark versus Pershing Square. Because they are different asset types (hedge fund vs ETF), I don’t think it is fair to compare the two. And, in my opinion, a hedge fund with $12bn is much more notable than an ETF with $16bn, although bravo to both of them.

For context, I’ve been a professional public markets investor for a number of years. Also, this isn’t a comment on either Ackman or Wood.
Aren't those one time things that define the future of your career? Sort of a pedigree being established?

You can go to a top tier university, land a great job for several years, have positive references, and still be required to do leet code for a recruiter... that seems like ongoing gatekeeping, rather than a one-time effort/pass.
So by endings you mean TLDs? And by “X% of endings were registered with the word Y” you mean “X% of all TLDs have ‘Y’ registered” or “‘Y’ is already registered with X% of all TLDs”?

> I didn't want to be indebted always to food delivery

I'd also suggest to actually calculate how much food delivery costs. I live in a relatively cheap European country, but even here getting two good meals delivered (i.e. not pizza or McD's) is close to 25€. Over a month that adds up to a not insignificant amount of my take home pay. Plus I find cooking is a really good way to forget about work and de-stress.

Some of the sister comments say you need a Dutch oven, knife sharpener, etc. This is honestly nonsense (see other comment threads about American culture over complicating recipes). The main tools I use are a knife and non-stick pan I got from a supermarket a few years ago (probably 15€ each) and they are perfectly fine. You don't need anything fancy to get started.

> Also, the hedge fund industry's goal is not necessarily to beat the market, it is to provide the highest level of return per unit of risk.

This is every investment, not judge hedge funds. Every asset has a risk profile. Generally speaking, the higher the risk, the higher the return.

US government T-bonds have a low return because they're viewed as essentially risk-free. Put another way: the US government has never defaulted on a debt and that debt is backed by the US government. It's not that a default can't happen but if it does, we probably have larger problems. So low-risk, relatively low return.

Individual stocks on the other hand have much higher risk. So the return can be much greater but you can also lose all your money.

Funds reduce risk by splitting investments across a pool of assets. This reduces risk but also reduces likely returns (both positive and negative).

When people compare actively managed funds (including hedge funds) to passive funds (eg S&P 500 weighted fund), actively managed funds overall underperform passive funds for the same asset classes and risk profile.

That means you compare an equity hedge fund to other equity funds. This also means whenever we talk about average returns we actually mean average returns for that risk profile and asset class.
What you're describing with parameter ordering is Lisp's Mysterious Tuple Problem [0]. It's also part of why Lisp works so well for one or only a few developers, but breaks down for large teams. Javascript (and Self before it) has really started a structural revolution with the JSON object as a syntactic form. I'm currently working on a language very similar to your last paragraph, where all objects do have such a field indicating their class, so an object in the textual representation might look like:

{ Point x 2 y 3 }

Instead of n-ary tuple operation like Lisp, my design limits all functional application/message sends to a form of a receiver object, message, optional it object, and additional map of args in the preceding syntactic way (still not sure if they would have a class or be classless). Multiple dispatch would be limited to just the receiver and the it object.

You can see in Smalltalk where this syntax would be helpful in the awkward selector syntax it adopts.

bool ifTrue: [block] ifFalse: [block]

Looks better as

bool if {
If
$then block
$else block
}

Where here the $ in slot names means the corresponding value isn't evaluated, a reference to the late John Shutt's Kernel [1] that explored replacing the lambda calculus at the base of Lisp with a lazy vau calculus in order to restore the historically maligned fexpr [2]. Originally they were removed from the language because they made compiling difficult at a time when performance really mattered (1980), and replaced with special forms that weren't first class subjects of the language (and neither really were the syntactic macros that accompanied them). Going back to the original topic, Alan Kay listed Lisp as one of the primary inspirations for Smalltalk, and especially the fexpr, which he saw as underappreciated:

> There were not just EXPRs (which evaluated their arguments), but FEXPRs (which did not). My next question was, why on earth call it a functional language? Why not just base everything on FEXPRs and force evaluation on the receiving side when needed? I could never get a good answer, but the question was very helpful when it came time to invent Smalltalk, because this started a line of thought that said "take the hardest and most profound thing you need to do, make it great, and then build every easier thing out of it". That was the promise of LISP and the lure of lambda—needed was a better "hardest and most profound" thing. Objects should be it. [3]

I'm still in search of the "hardest and most profound thing" - here's to hoping it's real.

Adding the date would be relevant - the linked document is from 1961!

Concepts like the ones described in the "Extended Machine Operations" and "Pseudo-operations" sections (start around page 16) are a lot more impressive in that light; designing a system for expressiveness and programmer convenience over pure utility was still a very new idea.
> During any concentrated work, only something you can fit in the center of your binocular field of vision (roughly speaking) doesn't cause severe mental context switching.

I mean this doesn't seem to be true for anyone working in the trades. "Mise-en-place" allowed me to tend a 24-foot-long bar by myself with 60+ customers. At the time, I was essentially a highly trained, top performing athlete. Just because I can't see the cash register / margarita machine / well drinks / etc... it doesn't mean it's not an extension of my body.

It is possible for your entire workshop to become a second-nature extension of self, not just the desk in front of your face.

I think part of this discussion is: "What can be part of a singular focused task vs. what requires some amount of 'context switching'?" And its not always super obvious. Practicing a workflow can integrate context-switches so that it becomes one singular focused task.

But VR/AR can also assist with neurological training by allowing you to switch environments when you switch contexts. For someone who is WFH in a studio apartment it can separate their "gaming desk" from their "work desk" from their "hobby desk" ... or even their "React desk" from their "Concurrency-wrangling desk" from their "Email/Communications battlestation". This could enable much faster context switching -- meeting in 30 seconds? pop over to your "Virtual Conferencing Room". Then come back to your sanctum of concurrency troubleshooting.
