$1.45 per 10k traded seems really high. A good S&P futures strategy (one of the biggest products in the world) is typically going to make 60-80 cents per contract traded. Since each contract is approximately 100k, thats closer to .06-.08 cents per $10k traded? Even for equities (I don't touch US equities, so I'm not entirely sure how good the best strategies perform), making a full price tick per contract is still < $1earned/$10k traded... and good HFT strategies are more on the order of 5-10% of a tick per contract traded.

In any case, capacity is probably the first constraint you hit. Most firms have reasonably accurate simulations, so most HFT strategies are scaled up to as large as they can possibly trade (ie. quote the largest amount passively or aggress with the largest amount you possibly can) within a few days of being released -- once you can confirm that your live trading is at least mostly matching simulation, you usually try to simulate the maximum possible size it can trade and just start live trading that. Since you're typically scalping a tick at a time, your maximum size is typically some fraction of the zero level bid/offer -- relatively small. Typically the way you scale up is either have better execution (know when to size up/size down appropriately) or better prediction quality -- since you're adversely selected, your bad trades get filled at a much higher percentage than your good trades, so as your have better prediction quality, a smaller percentage of your volume is bad and you can start to fire larger and larger.

It is also something I set out to learn how to do because I saw someone else do it: If someone produces smaller and faster code than me, then I should want to learn from it.

When working with others, I will often extemporise my code for their sake. I sometimes make mistakes when doing this, but sometimes making friends is more important than fast and correct programs.

You guys are obviously doing interesting work, but you've posted close to 30 of these to Hacker News in the last two weeks. That is no way to produce content for HN—it's a way to train people to think of you as spammers. You definitely don't want that! Also, some of the voting on these posts looks fake and that is hurting you.

What you want to do instead is craft an article explaining who you are, what you do, and how you do it. Such a post should be substantive enough for an intelligent but inexperienced audience to sink its teeth into. (That's what's wrong with all these medium.com examples you're posting.) And it should not be so technical that it wooshes over almost all our heads. (That's what was wrong with https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9119407.) For best results, include concrete examples and point out interesting things about them.

It takes time to produce content like that, but if you get the balance right, I'm pretty sure the HN community would like to read it.

This is some of the same advice we give to YC startups who ask about how to do well on Hacker News. One day I'd like to write that up and publish it—for everyone, not just YC. We all have an interest in seeing better articles on HN.

Another reason why I prefer this style is modularity. Each file does only one thing (in this compiler a file is a compiler pass or defines a data structure) and exposes only a limited set of functions. Other functions are marked as "static" to get a file scope. The shorter a file, the narrower the scope. You of course need to achieve the right balance between number of files and size of each file. The current status feels the right balance for my taste.

SEEKING WORK

"Tom dealt with an insane client, and a code base produced from the bowels of hell, and still produced great code, maintained an upbeat attitude, worked well with the team and indulged the delusions of a mad client.

He was one of the only touchstones to reality in a project of madness."

- and -

"Tom is an extremely nice chap, possesses fantastic communication skills and the work he did for us was of a very high standard.

Would I work with him again? Well, I tried to get him to join us permanently, so I think that speaks for itself!"

These are just two quotes from previous successful working relationships with me.

Since 1998, I've had a fast-moving career in web development, working with a wide range of technologies, and found myself in 2015 a competent full-stack developer who not only can handle the code, database and servers, but also understands the business side as well.

No matter what your requirements, send me an email at tom@tbbpolska.com, and let's have a chat on Skype and see where - if anywhere - I might be able to fit in and help out.

I'm always happy to have a chat about what's going on in your business, and it's pretty much well impossible for you to waste my time, so please don't hesitate to get in touch.
Sometimes it enhances the movie for me! Depends on the genre.

Comedies are the obvious one - they're funnier when laughing along with others. I also have no problem with audience comments during action or horror movies. For those kinds of movies I will actually tend to watch them in theaters where I know the audience is a little more lively.

If it's a more serious movie like Gravity or a Terence Malick movie then yeah, I don't want a lot of audience chatter. I'll see those kinds of movies at a stuffy arty theater where the audience is likely to be quiet, or I'll simply wait to watch them at home.

You're now shifting the conversation from the broad admissions policy to specific admission merits of individuals. The policy of promoting the admission of black students as a whole has been successful. It's not racism when a minority/disadvantaged group is given a leg up on a group that already has an advantage. The effect is so minimal that it really isn't worth discussing.
If you're interested in learning about them, those two links are going to do a better job of explaining what both Typed Clojure and Schema are that I am across a few comments.

Wrt the typing of Maps and Arrays, what Clojure supports goes way beyond what Java's type system supports: you can specify that the first element of an array has to be of type X, the second is of type Y, the third can be either NULL or Z. For maps, you can specify that a key must have a particular type and must be in the map, with a specific value while other keys may be present (required or not) and you can compose any of the constraints mentioned on the values the keys may take.

This is different from Generics in that Generics constrain to homogeneity for an entire collection.

You could create formal objects in your Java code to express similar constraints, but you're not achieving the same result: a Java object actually has the property (even if it's null) while a map (or an array) with an optional member will only have it if it's present. With Java you'd need many classes to model all the specific combinations. Java's current type system is significantly less expressive and doesn't have the same power. I realize those are subjective. By expressive and power I am referring to whether you can declare an idea in your code or whether you have to write the imperative logic to implement an idea (the former meeting my definition of expression or power).

Thanks for the question.
"Poor children in developing nations often drop out after a year or two because their families don’t see the relevance of the education they’re getting. These youngsters are more likely to stay in school than their counterparts in conventional schools."

Reaffirming that success in school is largely due to parental support -- including approval of the methods.

It seems that these children are being provided education packaged in such a way that their presumably under-educated parents will accept in order to maximize parental involvement which maximizes positive outcomes -- a fantastic application of creative eduction: teach the parents and the children.

I wonder if children attending schools where the majority of their classmates' parents have an education at the 90th percentile have the best outcomes. That's the promise of private schools for the children of the ultra-wealthy, right?

In general this feature is sometimes called "Universal Function Call Syntax" (UFCS), though interestingly Rust does it exactly the opposite of most other languages with this feature. In Rust, defining a method lets you use it as a free function; in C# and D, defining a free function lets you use it as a method.

Luvit is an impressive project. However, as far as I can tell they still use Node.js style callbacks to handle asynchronous processing. IMHO Lua's coroutines are a natural match for event driven, async code and easier to use than nested callbacks. There are no callbacks in Luaw which makes writing nonblocking codes essentially as straight forward as blocking code. You never explicitly create coroutines or manage them in your code. Luaw automatically suspends HTTP request running in its own coroutine whenever read/write call is about to block and resumes it when the socket is ready for read/write

I graduated in the dotcom bust, 2001. I had good grades, and got plenty of interviews (after putting a lot of effort into applications). The thing is, everyone / everywhere is different and places values on different things. If the job has a client facing aspect, I am sure wearing a suit would go down way better than jeans and t-shirt. I have worked mainly in back end stuff, so its not been as important. Working for a bank they have different expectations from academia.
Ratings systems aren't really anything to go by, at least in the US. My rule is: it's gotta be good. I'd prefer my own kids to watch something good than to watch something crappy. The children aimed stuff, for the most part, is junk.

The only stuff I skip is really when there's a explicit sex act talk only because I don't want to explain jokes regarding specific sex acts and slang. My girls are 6 & 8, so I figure that's reasonable for another 5-6 years. Is that prudish? (I've only got cultural input from North America, which seems to recoil at stuff everyone sees in showers everyday, so all I know is that their scale is off, not where it should be.)

For all the "think of the children" commentators here and in the blog - why is it that kids who have parents that hide them from everything "bad", wind up so messed up, narcissistic, and are generally unable to cope with life?

The answer is of course right there, by putting them in a "safe place" you've removed every adversary and every challenge - right when the mind needs those things the most so it can form abilities necessary to deal with and move forward in life (a life that will throw all kinds of issues, disasters, and curve balls at you).

Its kind of like the peanut allergy study that was posted here a day or two ago... The infants and children that don't get exposed to peanuts at an early age - so their systems can get familiar and use to it, are most likely to end up in the highly allergic group. [this is just an analogy]

edit:

This isn't about movies (that word is not mentioned in my post). Some of the replies so far are red-herrings (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_herring).

I'm not suggesting that children should be constantly exposed (or made to watch) graphic and horror movies to prepare them for life.

And I'm sure there are cases of children who just can't handle these things at the age of 10-15... Though most will be fine - and won't need therapy, will not have their lives ruined, nor will their well-beings be negatively impacted.

I am also not suggesting that they should have no supervision.

What I am suggesting is that there are too many over-protective and helicopter parents who are making "special children" that can only live and function inside bubbles.

And if the child get's broken by watching "Aliens" at the age of 11, then the problem is with the parenting - rather than the friend's dad who let them watch it.

In which case, please, attach a note to the child with all the rather available things that he/she should not be exposed to or is allergic to (like peanut butter).

We live in a society where a child would have to sit on a park bench for 700,000 years before he/she would get kidnapped, but if you leave him/her in a car to pay the gas station clerk, someone can take a picture of that child being untended and send it to the police, which will then charge you with a misdemeanor.
