The only reason I still use R is because of the hadley-verse packages. (Namely dplyr and ggplot2). R's base packages are incredibly terrible and counterintuitive, especially compared to Python's pandas and scipy.
What is the hypothesis? How was the hypothesis tested?
Nope. That existed for many years in implementation details at exchanges and the games were worse.

What actually happened in those cases is liquidity went away faster in drastic moves and the spreads had to account for the risk.

Further, you'd have all manner of snake oil consultants that would be selling true secrets of the NASDAQ randomizer (this exact thing happened before the exchanges standardized colocation. Guys would claim only they knew where in a data center had the shortest cable runs for instance). All of that inefficiency gets priced into the spread and is paid by all market participants.

If you really want to get rid of microsecond trading (I don't know why you'd care honestly, but if you did) get rid of the sub-penny rule. Make market making algorithms truly compete on price. Speed will still be important for canceling orders/gathering information, but you could counteract it by trying to do what we actually want the algos to do. Discover the right price cheaply.
Oh yeah you're right

Although, wouldn't variable overflow be the case for any algorithm, since already the 100th or so Fibonacci number takes more space than 2^64

And if you were to use the full float precision of sqr5 (and not just 4 digits like I did), you would run into 64bit float overflow way before that algorithm stops being accurate
The Truth About Homepage Sliders
Tesla stock is crazy unstable in the first place. I've invested in it purely because I like Elon so much, and it has been humorous to watch it "progress".

A report of a tesla battery catching fire, and the cause is still unknown? Stock price drops. Elon writes an amazing article calming any fears about his batteries? Stock price drops. New SUV Model? Stock price drops. Earnings this quarter higher than expected? Stock price drops. etc.

When I said XOR I meant XOR with a one-byte key on every character of input. e.g.

char* xor_encrypt(char* input, char key) {
int i;
int m = sizeof(input);
output = (char*)malloc((int) m + 1);

for (i = 0; i < m; i++) {
output[i] = input[i] ^ key;
}
output[m] = 0;

return output;
}
The debate on DNT is completely sterile as this thing is absolutely toothless. It's like advertising a flag "do not infect me" as an anti-virus technology.
There's a place for brevity, but not in this paper. You are assuming somehow that there is redundancy in the paper. There doesn't seem to be, at first glance. The scope of the paper is large enough to merit the length.
Right, which just further proves my point.

If you think I or the OP would argue anything else, then you're falling into precisely the trap I identified.
So far I've relied on grep, but I like that idea and will likely implement it.

Prior to those packages, R was the language in which most new statistical methods would be published. So it has had very good library support for statistics for a long time. Only more recently has it also gained excellent data manipulation support.
The fact that you looked at it wasn't what I was commenting on... It was the fact that you brought it up as a way of deriding the commenter's point and their person. You (childishly? bitterly?) searched the web for the person's username, looking for something to latch on to, simply because they insinuated that you had an uncanny hankering for MS products. Rather than escalate the situation, why not point them to your profile and tell them that you don't work there, but do agree with what they are currently doing with their products?

EDIT: I probably won't respond any more after this regardless of what is posted. Derailing the thread further than I have is pointless.

Personally I would argue that the purpose of language is communication without any particular prominence placed on manipulation. The laws expressly forbids deception so I would also argue that manipulation is at the core of fraudulent behaviour and that mutual benefit is at the core of a free market.
Ron Conway Quietly Attends Jeb Bush Fundraiser
This is an interesting fact but I can't draw any conclusions from it without context, and neither can the author. It's only meaningful in relation to how often other individuals or groups meet with the president.

There needs to be a name for this kind of thing, where two facts are stated but the whole point of the article is an unspoken accusation implied by those two facts.

#1: Google met with Obama a lot, #2: Google has faced a lot of regulatory scrutiny over the last few years. #3: ?

Obviously the implication is that Google and or the president were engaged in some sort of shady shenanigans, but the article never really comes out and says it. It's more like it just dumps some facts out there without context, shrugs its shoulders, and says, "could be coincidence...OR IS IT?!?".

I guess it counts as FUD but I associate that term with marketing. There must be a journalism-specific term for it.

Six weeks to 1.0-stable! And it's going to be a hell of a ride, since there's still tons of polish to do with respect to tooling and documentation and bugfixes. In other words, no time to celebrate. :P

If you'd like to help out, one of the best things that new users can do is simply to write a toy project or library in Rust and record their experience. If you crash the compiler somehow, file a bug! If you're confused by a poorly-worded error message, that's a bug too! If our docs are lacking, heck yes that is also a bug! If we're missing some crucial API on the stable branch, let us know so that we can prioritize which APIs to stabilize! We care about every aspect of the experience of developing Rust, and though our resources are finite we'll do our best to address the most common pain points first.

Apart from the Rust's usual rule to invent some abbreviations, but only apply them half the time.

Do you have an example?

> Then "types start with an uppercase letter" except when the language creators break their own rule.

They always start with a capital letter, except for built-in types or FFI bindings to libraries such as libc where the original types used a lowercase letter. This convention is exactly the same as Java.

> Then the fun "sometimes we use () and sometimes we use [] to do practically the same thing".

I've never heard this before. Do you have an example? () is used for function calls, grouping, and tuples, while [] is used for array literals and array indexing.

> Then the various insanities with ::.

The double-colon is very useful so that you can tell the difference between module lookup and field projection/method calling. Early Rust used . for module lookup, and it was confusing to tell at a glance whether a function was being called or a method was being invoked.

> Then Generics. How many examples of languages which tried to use <> for Generics do we actually need before people learn the lesson?

Using square brackets like Scala wouldn't actually help with the ambiguity, because it would be ambiguous with array indexing. The only syntax I've seen that actually solves the ambiguity is D's `!()`, which was deemed too unfamiliar. Angle brackets were chosen because they are familiar and aren't really any worse than the other mainstream options.

> I really wished some people took Rust, and wrote a new frontend to get rid of all the pointless inconsistencies and other "C did, so it has to be good"-isms (like_all_this_underscore_stuff or the ridiculous abbreviations)

The underscore naming convention was actually taken from Python's PEP 8. Rust doesn't really have any more abbreviations than most other languages at this point.

I recently had lunch with a guy that set up telecom networks in ex-soviet bloc countries in the years following the fall of the Berlin Wall.

He worked with American / Euro companies and interfaced with the hard-scrabble governments that were in the power tug-of-war at the time.

One of the most complicated tasks he ran into was moving money in-and-out of the countries, largely due to currency de-stabilization.

His solution was to buy hundreds-of-tons of grapes in the local currency, and then transport the grapes to Greece where they could be exchanged for international currency.

This was in the early 1990s, fairly recent history, but it still baffles me that these sort of problems still exist at the scale that they do.

A huge portion of my concurrent programming experience in the C-realm(not C++, C), and I spent very little time battling the language. I really don't think the language is the biggest aspect to concurrent programming, although it can certainly affect the calculus of level-of-effort.

To be honest, and this may just be that I'm somewhat of a C-centric developer, glib gave me everything I needed for concurrent programming, including the development of a massive, successful and fully concurrent power plant SCADA system.
Sorry I'm not sure I follow. There is no client included within my repo, just the service.
Quite possibly – I haven't looked into the reasons.
First, I think the main link should probably be to the WSJ publication, instead of this Fortune one which offers even less detail and analysis.

Second, I think it's incredibly shameful to be so damned misleading as the WSJ was with their reporting. While I'm all for calling into question whether the number of visits Google has to the Whitehouse is appropriate or not, I think it's worth considering context and purpose of the visits when looking at the raw numbers. Not actually looking any further into this seems to be either some of the most spotty journalism from a major publication, or a blatant lie of omission used to push a narrative.

"If it's not allowed — we shouldn't assume it's allowed" - that sounds like definition of totalitarianism to me. Every freedom-loving country in existence follows exactly opposite rule "if it is not forbidden, then it is allowed". Otherwise we all end up being treated like slaves.
I disagree. The primary purpose of language is to help one give form to their thoughts. Communication is secondary to this.

Some references for responsive web app specific UI/UX
I am pretty much solo-developing a CMS in Ember.js for my company and my app isn't getting much love. As such I need to take a step away from JavaScript and get my UI/UX hat on for a little while.

I've been out of the game as to what the best practices are for responsive web apps. Think complex UI: a CMS that is still ingestible and usable on a phone. I don't mind writing complex view-dependant code for each device breakpoint.

I'm highly interested in how to handle things such as drag and drop(ish) functionality, photo uploads that make sense across the desktop/mobile view, WYSIWYG with a large amount of options (this is probably a silver bullet), are we still using modal-esque patterns for things like in-view content creation or is there a better pattern?, multi-selection boxes, search, etc...

My aim is to develop this thing in to something that is a joy to use for our editors on both mobile and native devices.

I don't mind digging in and reading a TON of articles to catch up.

I have my eyes on material design as a baseline, but would love some examples or some things to reference.

Thanks!
This sentence sounds very wrong to me.
Awesome! Great to hear.

I used to work at versal and now work for another obscure edtech startup - built another 'authoring tool' but our "blocks" are more like <elements> and we've got about 50 or so of them powering a poorly created k7 math course. These elements are inlinable in text and nestable.

It makes authoring a bit more technical, but we contracted our authors out, so with a bit of training, they were able to handle the markup-like input and not before long, one or two of them were asking me for features I had only wished somebody would ask for (the others just thought of it as a job to get done).

It's been my personal philosophy that tools like these ought sacrifice simplicity for power, as it should grant whatever zany ideas authors can come up with. Don't get me wrong, I'm not suggesting this necessarily to you, just sharing my experiences and personal goals - and perhaps a slight suggestion to listen to your most ambitious users.

I'm a bit entrenched in this.
It certainly didn't help either
Possible parallel reconstruction?
At the very worst, it should have only been an unselected, mandatory radio button at install or first run. "Do you want IE to ask websites to stop tracking you?"

None of what you said makes any sense. I can trivially implement a trading algorithm that is faster than anything else by ignoring the outside world and choosing a price at random.

Algorithmic traders don't benefit by simply being faster, they benefit by being faster to the correct price.
This is insane. This seriously just blew my mind. Well done!

My point was merely that I hesitate to conclude that this kind of freedom works for everyone. Personally I think it works much better for many more people than we often tend to think, so I'm actually in favor of schooling that is more free.
What are the general thoughts on the potential of this project?
Very nice mmastrac, well done.
No, this is wrong. You've simply increased the complexity and hence the risk of submitting a bid/ask which is going to lead to increased spreads and increased costs for people who buy and sell stock.
agreed. GIMP is my good friend. I use it every day.
Deleted as the comments are off-topic. You didn't address my points regardless. I do agree with you on your last sentence completely though.
That is a fairly edge/small point - using something like `.map` and `.filter` to generate the DOM itself is pretty ugly, and those functions quickly become useful in other contexts.
The price swing was negligible.
Have you seen the hype about React and virtual-dom? This is cool, but it seems that space (generating HTML programatically) is taken for now by these two tools.

> "The definition of a framework is abstraction."

It's actually "a basic structure". Which seems to work much better. Your definition would make this:

trait Storage {
def put(path: String)(bytes: TraversableOnce[Byte]): Unit

def get(path: String): TraversableOnce[Byte]

def rm(path: String): Unit
}

A Framework. Which is obviously wrong.

Reusing a basic structure to short circuit some engineering tasks and hopefully accelerate the development of others. That's a Framework.
Google Bug: Clicking on Mongolian BBQ Redirect to LV Website
This is the search result when I am trying to find Mongolian BBQ on Castro:

https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=mongolian%20bbq

The search result could be different depending on your location. If you are in the Bay Area, you should see the New Mongolian BBQ. Click on the search result that has the website newmongolianbbq.com, you will see a Louis Vuitton site.

If you copy and paste the link newmongolianbbq.com on your browser, you will see a food site.

Not sure if this is a Google's Eastern Egg or or some Googler is having launch at Mongolian BBQ while shopping on LV.

I could imagine a modern high-level computer architecture that is based on the LLVM intermediate representation (or GNU gcc RTL). A lot of transistors in a modern CPUs could be saved if we remove all the legacy x86 ASM. Especially as modern x86/x64 CPUs emulate an CISC, and are a RISC architecture.

This is amazing. While it seems a bit scattershot as far as relationships to other genres (what do the colours mean?), this is a really cool way to discover music. Kudos!
XOR is the appropriate operation if you're using a stream cipher to generate an arbitrarily long keystream. Or a one-time pad. It also makes random access a lot simpler.

Of course, you do actually need to generate that keystream and not just repeat a short key.

I tend to think in pictures. Those are form to my thoughts. On the other hand, I can't really tell you about things that are in my head without words (but diagrams really help me get my point across and understand your point).
The 'free' part of the free market means each actor is allowed to work for their own best interest. To convince others to act in a way that's beneficial to oneself is at least an important purpose of language. Mutual benefit is an accidental result of SOME forms of market.
Web developers, on the whole, cannot be arsed to even stick to standards and keep their pages from being malformed. There's no reason to believe that they would provide consistent and machine-readable hints for a metabrowser about which browser to launch.

Building a metabrowser is trivial. (Moving state and features between the browsers within the metabrowser is not, but if all you want is the default experience, it's not too hard.) Herding half a million cats to convince people to enable some new feature is not (and determining which browser to use when displaying malformed pages that were written by twelve-year-olds against MOSAIC and abandoned in 1995 is worse).
Research and contracts are the same thing when it comes to new weapons development (which is what the F-35 is). That's why the Pentagon OKs cost-plus contracts. They know from the outset that what they want might not be possible.
I would never in a million years call Android a "Linux". It's a shit slow Java shell running on the Linux kernel. It's a barely passable interface for those that don't care about UI sluggishness on a smartphone. It would be market suicide on a DSLR.

If the efficiency increase is significant, I could see it becoming common to wear for commuting to work. You could run longer distances with less wear on your body.
