I should correct myself, because I've made an incorrect statement of the facts. Strong to weak in Fama's major paper identifying strong, semi-strong and weak variants[1] refers to the distribution of knowledge available to participants. The strong form assumes some participants monopolise inside information; the weak form assumes that all participants start with identical information of historical stock prices. The semi-strong looks at changes based on changes in publicly available information -- like Icahn's tweet the other day.

However there are variations in the construction of the models of EMH. I guess you might generally divide them into calculus models, which resolve instantly, and agent models, which introduce time. For example, in the linked paper, there's a discussion first of the "frictionless" market and then a discussion of more realistic models which include transaction costs, different opinions of agents etc.

The general idea that a market can be efficient in the long run and bubbly in the short run isn't easily refuted. Not least because at any point in time there's just no way to know what future prices will be and so no yardstick by which we can say "this is rational" and "that is bonkers".

I get that a terse Rand quote doesn't really garner much respect, but there's a point here undeserving of the downvotes - the government is effectively saying that Mr. Levison should be forced to remain in business for the sole purpose of serving the government's interests (by threatening to arrest and prosecute him for the action of going out of business) - a circumstance which is depicted as one of rings in the downward spiral of the crumbling dystopia in Atlas Shrugged.

You don't need any nesting. All those methods could be declared at the same level, though that entails passing more params to them since you can't rely on closures. That's probably how you'd divide your synchronous code into methods anyway, so you might as well do the same with your async code.
Unless the insurance files are bluffs, you may as well give the US government the keys yourself so that they know you are not bluffing.

Fuck that.

I don't really print much, but when I do, it's amazing that I can take something digital and put it on a piece of paper.

The reason that's awesome is that I can then hang it on my fridge. Or take it with me in my pocket, without having to worry about electricity. Or, you know, one of the other thousand use cases where a printed page is more usable, reliable, or feasible than something turing-equivalent.

The problem with callbacks is they are not about reusability — they force you to organise your code around I/O and not around your app logic... hence the names like wtfFriendAction.
I am not sure if I followed entirely.

But let me give you an example, again with Q.nfcall.

MultiplyAndSquare = (a, b, cb) ->
Multiply a, b, (err, product) ->
Square product, (err, square) ->
cb null, square #ignore errors for now.

nonCallbackVersion = (a, b) -> Q.nfcall(MultiplyAndSquare, a, b)

result = yield nonCallbackVersion(10, 20)
The main problem I see is that it's a nonlinear projection and thus generating one procedurally on the GPU (render to texture) is rather challenging. Hardware support for cube maps places them in a sweet spot between efficiency, accuracy, practicality for generating and practicality for applying.

Martin Manley Life and Death - SUICIDE Preface
Great presentation man. Do you think Pylons will serve Reddit for years and years to come? Is there any need for you to switch to Pyramid or another framework? I made the choice to use Pylons for a recent project, and it just feels kind of odd using an old framework which is now in "maintenance only mode", but I truly did not like Pyramid... much less Django.
It depends on which developer groups they used. It seems certain web languages attract people who use Macs, where this data probably came from.

Clearly, just use a standard solution (PGP). Don't do this with a weak passphrase, and use key-strengthening (bcrypt etc.) just in case. Assange is pretty good at crypto, so I'd expect Wikileaks to broadly get this right.

Also, they already got in trouble for reusing a password (http://boingboing.net/2011/08/31/wikileaks-guardian-journali...), so I'm pretty sure they won't do that again...
There are not that many researchers (or other people) working on 'less code'. And the response from the community is always; don't try it, it's been done and it won't work (NoFlo's Kickstarter responses here on HN for instance).

Instead I see these new languages/frameworks which have quite steep learning curves and replace the original implementation with the same amount of code or even more.

As long as 99% of 'real coders' keep saying that (more) code is the way to go, we're not on the right track imho. I have no clue what exactly would happen if you throw Google's core AI team, IBM Watson's core AI team and a few forward thinking programming language researchers (Kay, Edwards, Katayama, ...) in a room for a few years, but I assume we would have something working.

Even if nothing working would come out, we need the research to be done. With the current state we are stuck in this loop of rewriting things into other things, maybe marginally better to the author of the framework/lib/lang and a handful of fans resulting into millions of lines of not very reusable code. Only 'reusable' if you add more glue code than the original code in the first place adding only to the problem.
Okay, so would I be correct to assume that you claim it is in the long run impossible to beat the market except by dumb luck?

I don't see how this follows from your reasoning. You've allowed the possibility of beating the market if an individual trader has some knowledge or insight which the average of the rest of the market does not. So presumably an investor which only acts when he has such knowledge would beat the market also in the long run.
Second that.

Paper and printing should die and will die. One day. But that day is not today because none of the alternatives are ready. Recently I had to work on a project that had a 500-page spec. All my screen space was taken up by code, application and command windows (and I had a very large amount of screen space). I tried keeping the specs open on a separate screen. I tried loading it to a Kindle. Nothing was fast or convenient enough. In the end, printing and binding the spec and keeping it on my desk solved the problem (I know!). The time savings for me and my team was probably worth a hundred times more than what the printing cost.

Also, beautiful concept. It takes a great mind to even think of something like this.

"Coffee-Script actually prohibits this kind of code organization, because all functions are necessarily assignments"

So why don't you do it then? You would be famous for sure.
How many functions are good? If I add a dozen, is that better? Short methods are good—have any evidence for that? I don't think you do, because such evidence as there is points in the opposite direction (look it up in Code Complete). It's proper to name functions properly? I agree! What's "properly"?

Hammering these dogmas harder doesn't make them any truer, it just creates a feeling that you know what you're doing in a "If the English language was good enough for Jesus Christ then it's good enough for the state of Texas" kind of way. We have almost no empirically verified knowledge about software development. One of the few things we do know (sort of—the studies are old and shaky) is that code size is a predictor of error rates. Think that's relevant?
The problem with doing that is that the US government might release the information themselves, just dampened a bit with some PR, so the insurance files aren't worth anything and so WikiLeaks don't get the credit.
Ask HN: How to do side projects while you are busy?
Hi.
I am a CS student in a mediocre state school.
Having changed my major to CS from economics in my junior year(just a year ago), I am unexperienced in software development.

I graduate in 1.5 years, and I need to be more prepared in order to get an internship next summer and a job soon after, in a good IT company.

I did very well on my intro CS classes and data structures class, and thought that I learned a lot, but the coding interview questions on cracking the coding interview book were a bit too challenging for me. I was able to finish only three chapters during this break.

I came up with an idea about an android app that I would like to develop, but this is not going to be easy for me, either.

Anyway, I want to either develop this app or study for some interview questions while I am busy taking four CS courses and participating in one research this semester.

How would you manage your time and stress to juggle all these things if you were me?

Also, which one should I spend my time doing, side project or interview questions?

Thank you.

p.s.: This is my first time submitting a question here, and I wonder if this question is improper for this forum. If so, please point it out to me, and I will try not to ask this kind of questions.

return Q.nfcall(db.users.findOne, {name:userName});
}

function foundOne(user) {
return Q.nfcall(db.friends.find, {userId:user.id});

Life is suffering? I find that to be overly pessimistic. Life is not simple and there will be sorrow. However, there will be joy as well. "Suffering" is a very strong word to use. There is happiness and there is sorrow. To expect only happiness is not pragmatic, but to expect only sorrow is unfortunate.

Life can be beautiful, even if it is not always so.

According to the article, the problem is local to Internet Explorer though.

Essentially, if "intranet" mode is enabled and a website is hosted locally, IE will ignore browser same-origin policy. So a script from http://networkmachine can access all your cookies.

IE hate is very outdated, but the fact that a website hosted locally can have access to all the data the browser stores is mind-boggling. A nondescript dialog is all that stands to protect users.

Nothing was new with NoFlo, it was just trying the same thing that failed in the past without any new invention or innovation. The outcome will be the same.

Trust me, the PhBs would love to get rid of coders, we are hard to hire and retain. This was at the very heart of the "5th gen computing movement" in the 80s and it's massive failure in large part led to the following second "AI winter."

> I have no clue what exactly would happen if you throw Google's core AI team, IBM Watson's core AI team and a few forward thinking programming language researchers (Kay, Edwards, Katayama, ...) in a room for a few years, but I assume we would have something working.

What do you think these teams work on? Toys? My colleague in MSRA is on the bleeding edge of using DNNs in speech recognition, we discuss this all the time (if you want to put me in the forward thinking PL bucket) over lunch...almost daily in fact. There are many more steps between here and there, as with most research.

So you are unhappy with the current state of PL research, I am too, but going back and trying the same big leap that the Japanese tried to do in the 80s is not the answer. There are many cool PL fields we can develop before we get to fully intelligent dialogue systems and singularity. But if you think otherwise, go straight to the "deep learning" field and ignore the PL stuff, if your hunch is right, we won't be relevant anyways. But bring a jacket just in case it gets cold again.
I would, but I don't know how to write a GUI interface in Visual Basic :(
There's two reasons a textbook b+ tree is never going to perform very well:

* Binary searches suck

The memory accesses of a binary search look pretty much like complete random access, so prefetching is useless. Once your b+ tree is big enough that most of it won't fit in L2, you've got a tight inner loop that's waiting on DRAM at every single iteration.

This one is at least more or less solvable without changing the rest of the design, but then if you also want to solve the other main issue it gets harder.

* With small btree nodes, the overhead of looking up and locking btree nodes (even assuming they're all cached in memory) kills you.

Trouble is if you make your btree nodes big enough to fix that overhead, they're now so big that rewriting them when you insert a single key is just ridiculous.

So where you end up is to get anywhere near the highest possible performance you're forced into log structured btree nodes. Which actually has its advantages for solving the first problem, but now what you've got is really a hybrid b+ tree/compacting data structure.

Introducing FuzzDB- open source database of attack patterns
The EMH grew out of the empirical observation that prices wiggle around randomly (and the different forms look at different ways available information could be responsible for that).

Buffet himself, in the letter, has already said that most investors start with comparable amounts of information and capability. So speculating by buying and selling according to predictions of future values of stocks will eventually cause a regression to the mean.

Buffet disagrees with the EMH but he agrees with the conclusion that you can't beat the market by speculating on the movement of prices. He basically lets the random wiggle happen, and when a price dips to what he thinks is a bargain, he buys.

The problem is that we struggle to test the null hypothesis. We can't create 1,000 parallel 20th centuries with 1,000 Warren Buffets to see if he comes out significantly ahead a statistically meaningful number of times. We can only compare him to chance. In a sufficiently large sample, long streaks of perfect performance can emerge purely by chance.
