There's a fairly big question of what human capital comes along with this. You will need some guys who are good at low latency programming.

Some strategies that I've seen also depend on having good agreements with brokers, ie you may see an opportunity in the data, but the costs of trading tip you into the red if your guy is margining you in a different way. I don't know what Lime et al charge you, but they aren't a likely name among the people I know.

There's also a question about what exactly you'll be doing in those markets. There are guys who make money market making options over the phone, without relying on colo for anything. Sometimes they'll have a quote machine that needs to be quick to pull, but they don't see it as anything other than a bit of extra money. Other options guys are totally different, relying entirely on speed to make their dough.

Also keep in mind you are only competing with HFT in as far as what you're doing is similar, ie there's a high chance you'll both want to grab the same trade.

Mixing (doubling up) network layers like this is a bad plan. Yes, it would be a new protocol on ip, and would be less backward compatible. But if it's that important to do, then let's do it right. As long as we're probing to see if it's supported, then why not?

>But if need be, he said, he would endorse 'various forms of coercion' like eliminating 'tax benefits for having additional children.'

This is such a confusing quote that it's almost certainly taken out of context. Isn't eliminating a taxpayer-funded subsidy removing a form of coersion?

In fact, does the cost even need to be non-negative? Why not demand a 'playee fee' to be added onto your winnings.
The mixergy site is bait and switch to give up your email address for the interview, only to find out you have to pay money for a membership to listen.
I agree. For any interview problem, my approach is to just write something that works. If you can't, talking it out loud helps whoever's interviewing know whether you're genuinely stuck or just fumbling with the keyboard
I think every programmer goes through the "smart" stage, where you start to get confident and write "clever" solutions for simple problems. Where you will hopefully transcend to writing simple solutions for hard problems.

Personally I hate stupid tests like these, just give me a real life problem that you are currently working on ...

That's funny, and totally believable. Still a great question.

Speaking of economics fizzbuzz type interview questions can be understood in terms of risk. People second-guess themselves when asked simple questions which directly addresses their intelligence in the early interview phase because the stakes are suddenly total. The risk of answering a simple question incorrectly is disqualification.
Well, here goes my productive day.

I got there and the page was "blocked by my organization", then I realized that I was IT and opened it up.
We're in the process of migrating from ExtJS to React, and it is, to put it simply, awesome. Ext was great when we started because it gave us all these great out-of-the-box components to just mix and match and shove things together and get things out the door.

But relatively quickly (i.e. as soon as we wanted to make something look like it wasn't Ext, and you can always easily tell an Ext app) we ran into Ext's inflexibility. A huge percentage of our code now is finagling Ext over an entire file of code to do what would be a line and some css in any other framework.

I have had the exact opposite experience with "boilerplate", as I see Ext needing much more of it than React.

As a caveat; we are building extremely complex enterprise-level software, but even for the basic stuff if you want to do what Ext wants you to do you are golden. If you want anything a pixel different? Good luck.
Sure, that's fair, but lordnacho has not specified exactly what he means when he says that the candidates failed. Did they just sit there blank, completely stunned? Did they ask any questions at all?

We also do not know his interviewing style. Some interviewers are very averse to clarifying the problem, which will backfire big time with a question like this.
I was referring to their non-thread-safe (within a single ENet instance) architecture combined with the need to block if you want to pick up a packet the moment it arrives. I have to block to receive that packet, but while I'm blocking, I can't send a packet (because ENet isn't thread safe). Now, it will let you set a receive timeout, but then you just spend a lot of time spinning.

We're building the first extensible payment card platform for teams.

It's called Dash and it's powered by Mastercard. Dash is designed to help teams distribute funds in real-time and communicate about spending (auto-magic-accounting). We're also building real-time APIs to allow others to build plugins for new and interesting use cases, and accounting.

We value:

* Shipping product, delighting our users, elegant systems, and each other.

* Using first principles, code reviews, testing, collaboration, and mentorship.

We're looking for someone who is excited by:

* Bringing new ideas and abstractions into an existing industry currently dominated by older products and larger companies.

* Forming clean architectural patterns and beautiful APIs to handle messy, underspecified payments backends and communications problems.

* Having the opportunity to step up as tech-lead or to own parts of the codebase.

We're currently building with Python 3, Flask, React, Postgres, and AWS.

Our team includes experience from the founding teams of Netscape and Pinterest, executives from Visa and American Express, a seasoned venture capitalist, two high school dropouts, and a Physics PhD. Standard startup perks included (competitive salary, insurance, home cooked meals, etc..)

Things have been going very well but I can't help but think we now have this huge selective pressure breeding for humans who will still have large families in the new environment.

I'm convinced that the better or experienced I get at programming, the more unlikely it is that I'll solve a difficult challenge while actually programming. Taking a quick shower, walking around the block, laying down for 10-15 minutes, or scrubbing a sink full of dishes often leads me to a revelation.

I don't see how Pre exposes it as a sham. I'm no fan of the TSA and I think a lot of the stuff they do is useless at best, but giving people differing amounts of scrutiny based on their risk profile seems pretty smart to me. It's not as if you pay your money and automatically get through. They check you out first and make sure that you're a suitably low risk, and only let you bypass some of the checks if you actually qualify.
That's architecture-specific, which isn't nice.

Also, the counters would need to be 64 bits so that wraparound isn't a concern. Do all architectures even have an atomic 64 bit increment?
We have some remotes (me included), it depends a bit on the team, but as long as you're OK with ~20% onsite it should be discussable.
Geological records show one fossiled truth, populations rise then fall.

It's not the expectation (irrelevant and "hoop jumping" as it is) but the rigid, adversarial tone. And like I said, there are numerous physical confounding factors that render your force-fed approach inadequate.

Performance increase over a JVM _interpreter_. They admit this is slower than compiled code. It would be interesting to see data on the complete Cost/Performance/Power/Memory tradeoff relative to a state-of-the-art JIT compiler.
The High Cost of Cynicism
Learning advanced mathematical notation requires correlating the notation with the concept.

< x

is no less intuitive than

box x

in regard to the mathematical concepts. Maybe the latter is slightly easier to google...if we can filter out the use of "box" in all sorts of other contexts including those in computing where "box" is some sort of graphic element. Which is to say that "box" is far more overloaded than a monadic use of "<".

We didn't learn Σ intuitively.
Not the most eloquent way to sway people's opinions by equating their children to garbage; as much as he's not wrong.

The first and foremost "pollutant" source of environmental damage and degradation are humans. Simply speaking, the only way that humanity has any real chance at fighting global climate impacts is by limiting and reducing reproduction. But it's a really difficult topic to talk about, let alone even just bring up. It's the 1 million pound gorilla that cannot be seen for all the gorilla blocking the view.

> This idea of "loyalty" is just bizarre.

That depends. If company positions itself as "money for the sake of money", then you are right - being loyal to such idea is weird. But some for instance are interested in advancing other goals (example: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/manifesto/). Does it make sense to be loyal to such goals? I'd say yes.
Probably too many zeros there. A great deal of Americans would probably do it for $50.

Anything other than techno-utopianism on HN? Cue the Norman Borlaug worship!

We're only surviving today by stealing from our future. That's what "unsustainable" means. The problem is that the future catches up with you. The fact that industrial agriculture seems to work today obscures that fact.

Does anyone else out there think Javascript `const` should really be called `final`? It more closely mimics Java's `final` keyword by preventing reassignment ("rebinding") of the variable, whereas `const` makes me think of full immutability as in C++.

I used to love gaming on my PC, and today I have far more disposable income I'd be willing to spend for top quality games. Sadly, I haven't actually bought (or pirated) a AAA title on PC for probably a decade now. The last few I had were great fun until they crashed or otherwise fundamentally failed at just the wrong moment, at which point all that enjoyment would instantly evaporate and just leave me in a bad mood instead. And every AAA game I'd bought in the last year or two before I gave up was like that. Throw in almost ubiquitous DRM/anti-cheating software doing unknown and potentially very bad things to my PC behind my back these days, and I'm very sad to say that PC gaming just isn't attractive to me any more.

I once got on the air as a caller to NPR or some other beltway radio show where a TSA rep was trying to justify scanners and all kinds of other things. I asked if the rep read Bruce Schneier regarding the fact that the TSA was simply security theatre, and then asked about the former head of TSA who approved the scanner purchases and then went to work for the company making the scanners. He deflected like a pro and afterwards I could no longer call in, as I would immediately get disconnected. Honestly though, I was most angry because those are the sort of things that real reporter worth their salt should be asking, but NPR is such a tamed softball throwing limpdick entity I consider them almost as bad as CNN. Just listen to any given interview with anyone of note. Never a tough question to be heard. BBC is slightly better but I shouldn't have to rely on a fucking British propaganda outlet to hear even a modicum of good reporting. It's sad that these days RT and Al Jazeera english have better reporting on the US than any other mainstream shows I know of. (not counting the handful of very good youtube/podcasts,etc)

They know it's all theatre and don't care because the guys at the top are making tons of money playing the revolving door system, and no one is going to do anything about it because the beltway is full of kissasses and naive idiots "just trying to pay the mortgage."

I've started including a small variation of FizzBuzz as part of our developer screening test - varied so you can't copy and paste from google. Very loose guidelines, pick your language, access to the internet, etc. We even give a general outline of what will be tested 24 hours out, and no hard time limit.

3 out of 4 people so far were unable to do the test. One guy boasted 20+ years of development experience and I used to work with him, he didn't even attempt it?!? Frankly, I expect candidates of any worth to feel insulted we are asking them to write this. The guy that did complete it wrote it in Bash, and wasn't strong in that to begin with. Bonus points for learning a language on the fly, that's what I'm looking for.
