I was specifically addressing the "being smart isn't necessary for trading".

The op is making some implication across numerous posts that it's all basically a big con and it's all very simple.

It is like claiming you don't need to be rocket scientist to go to the moon because they just use metal and screws.

The individual parts might be simple in isolation. But it is the complexity of conducting large scale, large scope research in an environment that gives you limited feedback and will adapt to your own behaviour changes that is where the smarts are needed.

OP seems to not understand the inherent difficult of doing any research.

Almost anybody could be taught to make a simple circuit and battery from some basic raw materials.
The fact it is simple and easy now we know the answer does not mean it was simple or easy to discover. Some of the greatest minds dedicated their entire lives to discovering things that now most 10 years olds understand. That doesn't imply you only need to have the intellect of a 10 year old to make fundamental breakthroughs in science.

Working in quant trading is almost pure research - and so it requires a certain level of intellect - probably at least the intellect required to pursue a quantitative PhD successfully (not that they need the PhD but they need the capacity to be able to do one).
Good for you! Just keep showing up, and eventually emotional momentum compounded over time will lead to emotional escape velocity. The more processing done in therapy, the lighter the load, the higher you’ll fly. You can do it.

I am so sorry to hear you have chronic pain. I hope your surgery goes well and that it provides some relief.
Income inequality is a big problem but this would be the only remedy I wouldn't like. Maybe do a percentage that excludes earnings beyond 500k

Should we want businesses that need public money to continue to operate? I suppose one should critically examine their usefulness. If they fail 0% income tax on salary would be good enough.

OT: It struck me a while back what work was involved in running a government using only paper. I guess they all found ways to burn the excessive funds over the years as the real work kinda vanished. I hear Estonia made an effort to write laws that are easy to automate simply because they didn't have money.

I’d agree with the parent that your biggest challenge is going to be able to deal with a boss.

If you can get through that and make it clear in the process you should be more than fine.

If getting interviews is hard having a title of CTO or founder on your resume you change it to Director or Staff just to get into the process and explain it on the interview.
"self tail recursion" is only a simple case of the idea of tail calls (-> tail call optimization, TCO). In a Lisp variant/implementation with TCO (generally Scheme implementations and also a bunch of CL compilers, like SBCL), ANY tail call is automatically optimized to a jump, without growing the stacks, without the need to use special construct like Clojure's loops or trampolines.

for example SBCL on ARM64

CL-USER> (defun example (a b)
(if (> a b) (sin a) (cos b)))
EXAMPLE

In above CL function, the calls to SIN and COS are tail calls. Let's look at the machine code, which is automatically and by default created by above definition:

CL-USER> (disassemble #'example)
; disassembly for EXAMPLE
; Size: 100 bytes. Origin: #x7006948100 ; EXAMPLE
; 00: AA0A40F9 LDR R0, [THREAD, #16] ; binding-stack-pointer
; 04: 4A0B00F9 STR R0, [CFP, #16]
; 08: 7A0300F9 STR CFP, [CSP]
; 0C: EA030EAA MOV R0, R4
; 10: EB030DAA MOV R1, R3
; 14: FA031BAA MOV CFP, CSP
; 18: 29BE80D2 MOVZ TMP, #1521

; 20: C0033FD6 BLR LR
; 24: 4EB741A9 LDP R4, R3, [CFP, #24]
; 28: 5F011DEB CMP R0, NULL
; 2C: E1000054 BNE L0
; 30: EA030DAA MOV R0, R3

; 38: 570080D2 MOVZ NARGS, #2

; 54: DE9240F8 LDR LR, [LEXENV, #9]
; 58: DE130091 ADD LR, LR, #4
; 5C: C0031FD6 BR LR
; 60: E00120D4 BRK #15 ; Invalid argument count trap

One can see in the assembler, that the > function is called as a subroutine with BLR (-> it is not a tail call), while SIN and COS are called with a BR, basically a jump, since those are tail calls. Thus in any piece of code, the compiler recognizes the tail calls and will create the corresponding machine code jmp instruction (minus any restriction a compiler will further have).

Generally Common Lisp doesn't require TCO, though many compilers provide it as an optimization. Required is a basic low-level lexical goto construct, which is used to implement various loop.

> but GraalVM really does help with that

In something like SBCL there is no special tool/implementation (restricting dynamism) needed to create an executable. It is a function call and one second execution time away. The resulting executable starts fast and is basically a full Lisp with all features, again.
You can cross-compile Cgo, you "just" need a C compiler and linker that works for the target platform. osxcross, xgo have some or maybe you can set CC=zig cc.

For macOS you need signing/notarization tools either when building natively or when cross-compiling, it's not any different. `rcodesign` has made this process much easier in recent years.

The same reason that the argument is parroted by unserious people in "arguments" like the one above: some things are obvious. I don't need an RCT of dynamite to know that it is deadly.

If we do not allow exceptions for the obvious, our intellectual rigidity becomes a liability.
Good luck! Escaping chronic pain sounds life changing. I'm rooting for you.
An idea's existence doesn't mean you can't build it. It's a good sign that it's been validated. Since you're not shooting for the moon, even more so.

I would pick something you're interested in, which you can do for a long time. That'll sustain you when you can't get customers or your product misses the mark.
I think it's ultimately about autonomy and control, and data storage is only one part of that.

If it was open source software that I could fully administer that only changed when I wanted it to change, things would be very different.
Where I live in SW Missouri during 2020 most of my neighbors refused to wear masks and 72% were infected in that 1st year. Among those who did wear them less than half wore the properly. Most of those I saw wearing them did not cover their nose. I guess that was their way of protesting against the local mandate to wear them.

So there is really no way to analyze the effectiveness of masks if you simply ask "did you wear a mask?" and "did you get infected with Covid?".

I can say that my wife and I did wear masks and we did not get infected with covid. And that we bought a box of N95 grade masks as soon as those were available, which was around the beginning of 2021. We both wore them until the vaccines were available, and we've both got the jab and booster shots as recommended.

The last statistic given by the County here was over a year ago and it said that 78% of the residents had been infected with covid and around 450 were killed by it. That's pretty close to 1 in 100 who live here. Most of those killed by it here were elderly and in nursing homes that 1st year.

I started working with my father customizing cars when I was 14 years old in 1973 and from the very start I wore both paper masks and respirators with filters and way back then I took a lot guff from guys who considered that to be unmanly, so even back then there was a stigma involved with wearing those.

Back then I figured it was a "macho man" thing, but during covid women here also refused to wear them, or wear them properly, and they would sneer at me too when I was wearing one in a store.

I'm not a sociologist but this is something that deserves being studied.
Is there a reason this doesn't work from windows itself?

Since you are exactly the molecular machine, nothing more and nothing less, saying "the initial state of my molecular machine made me do it" is same as saying "the initial state of my self made me do it". So it does not mean that you should not be accountable, on the contrary it means that the action was caused by your essence, what makes you you, and not some outside entity or random chance.

As for the free will, it means that the behavior of a molecular machine depends on machine itself, not on far away stars or a random number generator. One can't say that he got unlucky initial state, because he _is_ that unlucky state. Any change of the state would create someone entirely different. Moreover Stephen Wolfram's computational irreducibility principle implies that despite all the information being contained in initial state, only way to extract predictions from that state is to run the molecular machine and observe its behavior.

I used to have a 6 digit too, but lost it long ago. ICQ was an important part of my youth. ICQ and AOL Chatrooms were the earliest places where I learned I could find groups to talk with about similar interests.

Farewell ICQ, thanks for the good times.

Hans Niemann, One Year After the Chess Cheating Scandal
I disagree, what I said was civil.

There’s an art to it, but civility isn’t about avoiding all conflict. A prosecutor can have a perfectly civil conversation where they threaten someone with execution if they don’t accept a plea deal. A few mocking jabs about how incorrect someone’s statement was is fine as long as you’re mocking what was said and not their person, manor of speech, accent, speech impediment, etc.
I would either go for Fedora (up-to-date but pretty stable) or NixOS.

NixOS has a very interesting approach of having a (smal set) of config file(s) to setup an entire system as it was. Too me as a developer this is very appealing, because I don't need to care too much about backup up the OS or settings, but only the config files and the files in /home/.

I would also add docker, this helps a lot with development. Oh, and if you need a VM (e.g. Windows) stay away from Virtual Box - just use qemu, which runs the VM up to 300% faster.
I actually remember the first time I begin struggling with Google results and it turned out that Google was simply switching to an answer machine instead of a search engine.

As a long time Google user, I was used to search for phrases that might be written in articles related to the stuff that I’m looking for. I had to switch my mental model on how Google works, so instead of typing what might have been written in an article about the stuff I’m looking for I had to type my question.

Maybe it’s time for another unlearning phase and learn how to use the LLM dominant Google? I’m not sure yet, LLMs seem too unpredictable.

Thank you for sharing.

Staying updated is almost a full-time job, I was hoping someone else was already sharing their efforts to do so.
Obviously not true. The deals for most of these set ups are team founders/pms are paid mostly by profit share. So the only scam is scamming yourself into a low salary position for a couple years till they fire you.

Orders of magnitude more leave their jobs of their choosing than are fired.
Interestingly, these additional incidents are all from public sources (social media mostly) which makes me wonder how many incidents happen that aren't reported.
go-fltk does build and run on Windows, pretty well actually.

For a native toolkit, I was impressed to see FLTK supports Ctrl-+ and Ctrl+- to zoom the entire application like a browser. And https://github.com/fltk-rs/fltk-theme?tab=readme-ov-file#wid... really improved my impression of how "native" FLTK can be made to look.

On a related note, I discovered GoVCL https://z-kit.cc/en/ recently and am interested to try it out.
From what I heard LLVM seems to be not very great at keeping backwards compatibility and makes no guarantees that the IR (intermediate representation) stays the same. So I imagine it can be frustrating to have a moving target.

Plus it is a heavy dependency which means projects like writing a self-hosting OS in a month are much less realistic to achieve when your compiler relies on LLVM.

And not the least, the code generation is pretty slow. If your languages cares greatly about compile speed, which it should, this is a bummer.

So yeah, for many projects avoiding LLVM might be a good idea.
Oh wow... I still remember my old ICQ number (very low 100Ks). Basically lived on it for many years.
The random.connection thing: post comments on Reddit. I'd suggest discord, too, but its not quite the same as ICQ was in terms.of random connections.
Some people are always the victims of threats and violence, it could be that they just have bad luck.
Why haven’t Hamas returned the hostages ? See the differences between the examples you gave ?

Hamas haven’t retuned the hostages because they believe their own people are dying for the glory of God as martyrs.

Don’t forget the government of Palestine waged war on Israel though ? I mean what did they think was going to happen after October 7 ? A picnic ?

The government of Palestine, who had a responsibility to take care of its people believed every Jew should be wiped off the face for the earth. So I’m not sure what Israel is left to do besides basically demolish the country to ensure its own security.

I actually can see the difference between Russia, China and this personally. It would be like Taiwan attacking China. Which they won’t do because they’re not insane fanatics.

What do you think Israelites should do instead ? Go back to Europe ? Ceasefire so their enemy can regroup and kill more?
It would be interesting to see a comparative study of glp1 agitators to intermittent fasting. It surprises me that people will spend huge amounts on a drug which makes them feel less full, rather than have the tiny amount of willpower it takes to just not eat.
Submissions generally use the title of the source article.
Based on what evidence are you drawing this conclusion from, because I've used discord for years and literally never once video chatted (I didn't even know it had video chat until now)

I have never once been sent a Discord conference call link.

Video chat is not a huge selling point of Discord, or any chat platform.

That's why it's almost always offered as a separate service.

One of Discords biggest competitors is Slack. Slack didn't have video chat for about a decade.

And to that point, there is literally nothing stopping an IRC suite from supporting video chat.

KiwiIRC has a conferencing plugin. Nothing's stopping someone from commercializing that and wrapping it up in a one click deploy package.

And what community building elements does Discord have that IRC lacks..? I have never discovered a Discord channel in any other way than directly through a link.

You can also send links to WebIRC chatrooms.
It is implemented, but it's embedded in the product at https://vidocsecurity.com/. I was thinking about extracting that part and creating a standalone API for it
How tight are your rows that a high-boy or low-boy can't fit between them? When I still farmed, We sprayed late season crops with one of the two of those, with spray control to the square foot. That and auto steer meant we damaged about 40 plants total going into the end rows and out.
Not really, sourcegraph is the end product - what I am talking about is giving you API to create products similar to sourcegraph.
They automated away the part that had a human error (the internal tool with a field left blank), so that human error can't mess it up in the same way again. They should move that human labor to checking before tons of stuff gets deleted.

Ah, understood. Then, I am interested, I would say that may have some interesting traction.
>Texas may well execute soon an innocent man on the false premise of "shaken baby syndrome". [1] He would be the first in US history.

This is pretty clear to me. If you wanted to make it sound like you're claiming, you'd phrase it something like "Texas may well execute soon an innocent man, the first in US history, on the false premise of "shaken baby syndrome.""

As it is, the first sentence very specifically scopes down this case to "shaken baby syndrome."
Foobar2000 has a very good tag editor. I especially like how it can batch-sync the title tags from the filenames (via Properties -> Tools -> Automatically Fill Values). And the other way around to rename files using their tags (via File Operations -> Rename To). Super useful.
You win. It's not going in my folk or classical playlist. For at least another 50 years, anyway.
>For example my kids cringe if they catch me or my wife looking at YouTube shorts. My son - that has complete, unlimited access to his gaming PC, installed a Firefox extension to block YouTube shorts. I think the problem will self-regulate at some point.

Kids might cringe because it's "out of fashion", then go themselves watch even worse doomscrolling bait than YouTube shorts, like TikTok or whatever's next.
And at the same time make the web inaccessible for those who need screen readers.

Yep, we have so much freaking money that we've decided to bury it all in illiquid assets built on artificial scarcity - which we then endeavor to increase the value of by further constraining supply.

It's probably one of the dumbest things we do as a society, although that might be a fairly California centric perspective.
I wouldn't say it's hard - you don't need to tweak anything if you don't want to; one of the features of Debian is that all the packages are configured ready-to-go when you 'apt install' them.

For installation, use a tool like Rufus to make a bootable USB drive.

Use https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current-live/amd64/iso-... - KDE is a desktop environment that will feel pretty familiar if you are used to Windows.

Rebooting into the USB drive, you can try out KDE, or can go straight to the install process - it takes less than half an hour, even as a beginner, and if you don't understand something, just click next and it'll be fine. There's a graphical partitioning tool included in the installer. If you don't need everything to be FOSS, you can select non-free repositories to make some proprietary software easier to install. These aren't officially part of Debian, though, so remember that you can't get support on the Debian forums/chatrooms/bugtracker for proprietary packages.
But what's the cost? You're walking around with a bit of cloth on your face. Other cultures have done this habitually for decades and are still able to function.

IMO this was never about masking. This was about a minority of cluster-B types having a public meltdown at the ideologically intolerable fact that collective responsibility is a real thing.

There is no ambiguity about "Masks work." It simply means masking is better than nothing.

There's nuance in the type of mask, and masking practices, and other fine details. But the principle is straightforward.

And unless you're seriously going to try to argue that dentists and surgeons have been wasting their time and money on PPE for all this time, the effects are clear.
> so I'll know how old the rip is - bit rates have increased a bit since last century.

It's easy to see which bitrate a track/album has, you don't need to keep dates for that? What's harder to see is what encoder was used -- modern LAME at even 128kbps is a totally different game than some 90s Xing or Fraunhofer.

Better would of course be to have lossless files of the originals and mass convert to mp3 when needed, but I suppose that's a different discussion.
It’s been a while since I looked, but I remember SVE2 being much more usable than SVE. A64FX was SVE IIRC. I think SVE did not do a great job of fully replacing NEON.

Why not then publish the strategies once outmoded, or are they in fact published? Can I go see somewhere what strategies big funds used in the 90s to make bank, which presumably no longer offer a competitive advantage? The way I can go see what computer exploits/hacks used to work when they were still secret?

Maybe it's just what I know, but I can't help but think the "strategies" are a lot like security exploits--some cleverness, some technical facility, but mainly the result of staring at the system for a really long time and stumbling on things.
Yeah, Ars could have (and should have) put it in the title, though.
FWIW, Banishment is unconstitutional; from one supreme court decision:

> It is a form of punishment more primitive than torture, for it destroys for the individual the political existence that was centuries in the development. The punishment strips the citizen of his status in the national and international political community. His very existence is at the sufferance of the country in which he happens to find himself. While any one country may accord him some rights, and presumably as long as he remained in this country he would enjoy the limited rights of an alien, no country need do so because he is stateless. Furthermore, his enjoyment of even the limited rights of an alien might be subject to termination at any time by reason of deportation. In short, the expatriate has lost the right to have rights.

Not sure how the same argument doesn't apply to the death penalty given that a dead person presumably has also "lost the right to have rights."
I wrote one of these mp3 tag editors for personal use back in the day using C++Builder or Delphi. I can't remember which one but I remember it was a pleasant experience.

Minnesota resident. The smaller the ISP, the better the service and support. My in-laws in a town of 3k have more reliable Internet at their lake cabin, and faster, than I did in the city.

I was very excited when competition arrived. I now pay 1/2 the price for symmetric gigabit that's solid as a rock. Xfinity is a joke - they'll practically force you to use their equipment, which has a public WiFi access point that any Xfinity customer can use. Why? No idea.

The longing for Ostalgie was based on things being easier and basic needs met more easily than in the cut throat "free market" environment that followed
