I think the correct move would be to enforce wage parity for the H1Bs rather than throwing out the baby with the bath water. I don’t want to lose out on international talent for the sake of protecting employment for people whose only qualif

Note that diffsitter isn’t abandoned or anything. I took a year off working and just started a new job so I’ve been busy. I’ve got a laundry list of stuff I want to do with this project that will get done (at some point)

I don’t think that’s true. C++ just has a lot of baggage to deal with and people are doing the best they can with some ridiculous constraints. The sanitizers and things like clang-tidy, and better analysis in compilers seem to be really wel

I might have misinterpreted what you mean as “standard” (I was originally thinking like you meant that the standard dictates all operations must be safe and doing things like the unsafe/unchecked option references would be outside the

I don’t think the last two decades of computer graphics research are an Nvidia psyop. Ray tracing is relatively simple and also reflects reality (you’re literally doing a light simulation to approximate how we really see). It’s always been

Generally speaking more volume is good. I’m happy I can buy/sell most of my stocks instantly and that I don’t pay execution fees. I don’t think most average traders operate on a horizon/scale that’s directly competing with institu

I got a 718 Cayman which I particularly enjoy because of how barren the interior is. It has a screen with CarPlay which can be helpful for pulling up maps, a rear view camera, and lane change assist (which is just a red light by each mirror

How would that work? Would you randomly select a single order posted, go by market participant (like randomly select some entities that posted a trade in this window), and would you allow prices to move during this window?

Brokers are required to give you NBBO or better. You could set up a direct connection to an exchange if you were willing to pay and were sufficiently motivated to deal with all of that

Why shouldn’t people be allowed to do both? I don’t see much of an advantage to making the markets less agile. It would be nice to be able to buy and sell stocks more than once a quarter, especially given plenty of events that do affect the
