ultra slow on my laptop, unfortunatly.

WebGL is fancy,but performances are just not there yet. How long most people will stay on that site given how slow it is?and i have a pretty good computer(Macbook pro). it's not a geek website, webdevs should test performances seriously and ask themself if these kind of stunts are worth the effort. So yeah, there is a wow effect, but if i was the client,i'd be afraid of a pretty high bounce rate.

The message is clearly lost here,due to performance problems.
I actually really like this... Consolas still seems to have better hinting, but this is pretty cool.
An amazing bit of Duke V hidden in the code:

Cmdr: "Duke, we've got a lot of scared people down there.
Some reports even claim that people are already
slowly changing into aliens."
Duke: "No problem, my speciality is in croud control."
Cmdr: "Croud control, my ass! Remember that incident
during the war? You created nuthin' but death and
destruction."
Duke: "Not destruction, justice."
Cmdr: "I'll take no responsibility for your actions. Your on
your own! Behave your self, damnit! You got that,
soldger?"
Duke: "I've always been on my own... Face it, it's ass kickin' time,
SIR!"
Cmdr: "Get outta here...!"
(Duke gives the Cmdr a hard stair, then cocks his weapon and
walks out of the room)
Cmdr: In a wisper: "Good luck, my friend."

It is not just the fact that the whole iOS experience is more expensive - both hardware and software are more expensive on average - but also the fact that the extreme control exerted by Apple over 'its' products ticks off many. For some reason the myth keeps on being propagated that many users of Android would gladly move to iOS 'if only they could afford it'. While there might be some who would do so, in my experience the majority would not as they prefer the relative freedom of choice which Android provides over the controlled experience which is iOS.
btw, how is a person signing a key in the usual WoT model supposed to know whether or not the email address specified in the key uid is actually controlled by the person standing in front of them at the key signing party with passport and key fingerprint in hand? Even if you carefully follow the recommended key signing procedure the binding which actually matters for exchanging encrypted email has very poor validation (or none at all).
Cryptocurrency contracts inherit the remote code challenges that Javascript experiences but also a whole set of additional really gnarly challenges because the systems must reach exactly identical states in all cases or the network will irreparably fork.

It would be like if the entire web split into mutually incompatible partitions the first time someone crafted some JS code which behaved differently in IE and Firefox.
I think people are still learning, exploring together, and sharing code. But I think the arena has changed. It used to be local + irc, now it is (I guess) local + something not irc. It really doesn't matter for a small group how you communicate -- it could be sms, email, some-web-app-chat-thingy ... I of course have a moral issue with anything that isn't open, like email, usenet and irc -- but that doesn't matter, because I'm not 14 and part of whatever is emerging next.

While I'd hope the coming generation read some of the old phrack articles -- why would they bother to keep up with the new phrack? Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see vibrant phrack magazine -- but we can't really expect the coming generation (as a whole) to use what is now some ancient 'zine.

I think hacking has always been by nature a secret art. It started in a grey area, and as legislation caught up became ever more black. Now, you could presumably find yourself held forever in a dark hole accursed of "cyber terrorism" because some twat admin didn't disable telnet or dialup acces on your local nuclear plant.

To me it seems pretty obvious that hoping for any progress of the art in the open is a vain hope at this point. We've made it impossible. More power to the criminal organizations that have enough foresight to value talent when they come across it -- no matter if they pay in dope, girls[or: boys -- I guess I'm more caught up in old stereotypes than I'd like (even if they might've been wrong forever)], alcohol or cash.

Preferring Helvetica over Arial is commonly just pure snobbery. There are couple of reasons behind that: Helvetica is associated with Macs while Arial is associated with Microsoft. Helvetica can be argued to be "more original" than Arial. The Arial we usually see (Microsofts version) is heavily optimized for low-res screen display at body text sizes, which some might say compromise it for high-res/print use. Helvetica is also available in significantly more variants than the Bold/Italic MS Arial.

Didn't Canada loose out because people went to other markets instead?

Most Canadian stocks are not traded on US exchanges. So no.

As for "skimming", I'll repeat my question: can you explain the specific mechanics (i.e., what orders are placed when)? Note: if you believe FIX/OUCH has a "SKIM" command, can you link to it?
Can you describe in detail what "games" this enables and how often they actually happen in the data? You claim SIP slowness enables a fictional trade called "latency arb" where HFTs can trade with orders at stale prices, for example:

-A user is pegged to mid at a pool where they think NBBO is bid: 20.01 ask: 20.02

-An HFT with direct feeds sees the market go to 20.02 bid 20.03 ask

-The HFT buys the midpoint order on the dark pool at 20.015

-User regrets trading since they could have sold 20.02

How often does this really happen and how is it really any different from the following scenario:

-A user is pegged to mid at a pool where they think NBBO is bid: 20.01 ask: 20.02

-An HFT with direct feeds sees the market as 20.01 bid for 100000 shares and 20.02 ask for 1 share.

-The HFT predicts the price will move up with near certainty and buys the order for 20.015

-User regrets trading since they could have joined small 20.02 ask and traded quickly

If the user or broker is pegging their order to the midpoint and not adjusting it based on market conditions, they're going to trade at disadvantageous times no matter what. I'm not sure how pricing off the SIP makes a big difference. It's not HFT's fault that the broker sucks and can't trade well.

One of my favourite sayings: The plural of anecdote is not evidence.
Also I am quite sure that there is some overlap going on between "these" hacker communities and the hacker news community.

Not significantly, I think. The old-school hacker communities arose as a reaction to the large-scale centralization of technology in the form of the phone companies, IBM, and so on; corporate and government infrastructure was a playground for phone phreaks and hackers who passed around, in grimy photocopied 'zines and text files, skeleton keys to get access to a forbidden realm that was otherwise completely inaccessible. Going back to the '70s, hacking was a way -- at least as the hackers themselves saw it -- to empower people to enter a world that was otherwise reserved for giant bureaucracies.

In a world of iPhones and $5 Digital Ocean droplets, the thrill comes from creation, not access. These days, black-hat hackers are professional criminals running electronic short-cons, and "hacker communities" are usually developing-world mafias; they're not (at the risk of romanticizing the way the world used to be) the harmless dialup daytrippers of legend. The lineal descendants of hackers like Cap'n Crunch or the Mentor aren't running botnets; they're building new technologies that are going to keep empowering us.

ERP software is often highly customised for individual businesses and their processes. There are commonalities across packages (JDE, PeopleSoft, SAP, Dynamics, etc) but for the most part they're different for each organisation. That's why ERP consultants can charge such high fees. Your SAP install is quite different from your rival's.

They often integrate with external systems (stock management, production equipment, third party accounting platforms, billing, user management), even when the ERP system itself offers functionality in a given area.

It's a huge subject area.

However, most ERP software itself is just a large CRUD application that calls out to third party services (via APIs, COM, libraries, etc).

If you really want to learn about ERP software, try go get a job working with it for a year or two. The technical knowledge you'll require to get such a position is fairly generic (database basics, user experience design, TCP/IP, Unix/Linux server management). What would really make you stand out as a candidate would be having an understanding of business process modelling and reengineering - that's all ERP software is, a mirror of business processes.

It's an interesting area to work in (perhaps not long-term unless you're really into the BPR side of things). You'll really understand how businesses work and how they see their processes. And when you're working at the enterprise scale, small improvements in the software people use daily to perform their main functions can make all the difference.

Nodes can't be compensated for this— only the single miner who chose to burden the chain with the contract. Everyone else has to go along for the ride (or skip verifying it and hope that the anonymous miner wasn't lying). This is one of the reasons Bitcoin has very purposefully eschewed contracts which are computationally expensive to execute.

You can almost always perform a computationally expensive contract externally to the system and bind it with a hashlock or multisig, in any case. The inability of the a consensus system to perform IO to outside world usually demands those techniques in any case.

While I started reading I was meh-ing to myself and thinking that it's nothing special, but I love points 3 and 4, asking peers for help.

Those points quickly changed my perspective around. Learning this way is a great idea, and it is quite beneficial (At least while learning coding in a non-competitive environment).

Discussing about open source with kids and the ending 30 second presentation times are great ideas as well.

Much of Africa is indeed the land of opportunity (with the exception of South Africa, which has serious structural and political issues, and is in a sort of terminal malaise).

The calculus changes once children enter the picture though. The continent (a huge place to generalise about) isn't exactly the sort of place to risk raising a family, unless you are rich enough to be able to maintain a ready escape plan for them, and to educate them privately. You don't want to risk having them complaining in 20 years about the same things the OP talks about and being stuck here.

I don't think so but with that said the show is only 30min so you don't lose much by watching 1 episode.
With regards to the mechanics. All I have is what was explained to me by someone who started doing HFT more than 10 years ago and from those traders I know who made money by trading the same stock several time a day and taking a small fee each time they did. Back then they just didn't have computers or the knowledge to do it fast enough I guess.

I'm living in Malawi for a couple of a months and I totally agree the cloud features and automatic software updates on my computer have become a huge nuisance. Often the internet connection is slow (even on Skyband EVDO) and automatic updaters or cloud sync can easily suck up all my bandwidth.

Sometimes I find my internet totally sucking only to find out there's some app like iCloud photo sync trying to download some photos from one of my contact's streams. Or at one point Mac OS decided to download a sizeable XCode update in the background.

These features are a big convenience back in Canada, but really frustrating when travelling and using slow connections. I really wish there was one setting somewhere to turn off all background syncing and downloading.

So far the best solution I've found is to install Little Snitch and just manually approve connections.

Health care in America: The geek guide to insurance
While you may know what ERP stands for, you're missing the bigger picture on what modern ERPs do. They aren't specific to a domain--they do everything from managing manufacturing processes to keeping the books for retailers. I've seen specific ERPs written for dairy distributors used by ice makers. Planning is just one part of an ERP. The General Ledger, WIP, logisitics, customer lists, etc, etc all can and do go into ERPs.

Moreover, folks that are experts on an ERP typically are an expert either on (a) one type of ERP (e.g.-SAP), or (b) ERPs for a specific domain (e.g.-manufacturing). You don't typically get somebody who knows many different ERPs across many different businesses. During an ERP implementation, you'll usually hire one of type A, and one of type B, and then a whole team of developers/implementers.

Each vendor gives extensive training on all sorts of different aspects of their ERPs, but really, if you'd like to get a handle on what they do, you need to know how enterprises work. And the only way you're going to do that is by working in an enterprise. I've had my exposure to ERPs by building data warehouses that have to read and interact with them. But, my college degree's in management and economics, so things like accounting and business processes were already something I had passing familiarity with. ERPs will make little to no sense if you don't understand how corproate accounting works.

ERPs are wildly complex, and each has about 1000 different packages that you can use to do...I don't even know half of what they do. The best way to get some familiarity with ERPs is to get hired in some place where they'll teach you all about it. This includes training in the classroom and on the job. These are typically consulting firms--there are a few big ones, and there are a few boutique ones that do only ERPs. Also, the vendors typically have implementation teams, so you may want to do that, as well. I will note that ERP implementers almost always are required to travel extensively, so if somebody reading this wants to go into it as a career, understand what you're getting into. Travel is insanely lucrative if you don't mind it, but if you have a family or other commitments, it can tear you apart.
I recently moved to dnsdynamic.com.

Mostly because 1. it's free and 2. it was one of the listed providers supported by my OpenWRT router[1].

> My router becomes profitable when I make its bandwidth scarce. The same incentive applies to everyone else with a router.

This is a case where the public goods problem works in our favor.

Assume there are many routers, owned by different people, and lower total bandwidth increases total group profit.

If a person is providing 5% of total bandwidth and increases it to 10%, the total bandwidth only increases by about 5%, decreasing overall profits slightly. But that person's share of the profit doubles. Consequently everyone's selfish interest is to increase bandwidth.

Of course this only works out well if there's plenty of competition, rather than the local near-monopolies we mostly have now.
