Just going to plug a book here that was an awesome read in my undergrad on that topic, and the history of quant finance over the 20th / early 21st centuries: https://byjustinfox.com/myth-of-the-rational-market/

Sorry about missing you were down under, I only checked after hitting submit. And thanks for clarifying, I had no idea Sweden moved to isolate nursing homes. That said, I'm still hesitant to equate the risk level to the elderly from co

As an Australian, your second point is hard to vindicate. The total death toll in Australia is 106 as of one hour ago as reported by the state-funded ABC[0]. While it's true that just one of those was a person under the age of fifty[1]

I can tell a story. I used to work for a HVAC installation company, pretty small in terms of staff but we subcontracted a lot. Initially brought on as a mechanical engineering intern, but moved on to sales engineering when I found an intere

Consider adding a logarithmic y-axis to each graph, but otherwise, nice presentation! Edit: also, perhaps y-axes of the form "Thousands of X", then increments can show "200, 400, 600..." and so on. Simpler to digest when

Great point, and I think this is a next step for me. For what it's worth, this was to teach myself React and Redux and took a couple of nights of work. I was curious about ways to keep the canvas element fundamentally decoupled from th

Effectively, yes. It's a multiplier for the random displacement that's calculated for a point in the grid as part of the algorithm, which is added to the mean of the adjacent (diamond- or square-wise) points.

Agreed. There's not much that will bake freshly learned theory into your brain more than realising just how far it could have taken you in hindsight. Over time, this starts to develop into foresight.

This is fantastic, having looked through Martin's blog before and found some gems that really leveled up my process on managing code. As an aside - beyond the coming installments of this series, can anyone recommend sources for setting

Hi all, thought I'd bite the bullet and link a blog post to HN for the first time. Any feedback would be extremely appreciated; looking to learn and grow.

Let me preface everything I'm about to ask with the fact that I only have one vinyl, so take it with a grain of salt, but I'm curious: I always figured that the lure of vinyl music was the physical possession, and as someone once

As an undergrad (I'm going to go ahead and assume that there aren't many here, proportionally) I primarily track my studies, since my manager tracks my efforts at work, and I have apps to handle tracking my progress in the gym. So
