> The Azure pricing is at least as complex as AWS/GCP, plus the pricing tool seems worse. They also lag behind the other two major providers in CPU releases - Turin and Granite Rapids are still in closed preview at the time of writi

Really depends how deep you want to go. For a structured products introduction you may take a look at this one: https://sspa.ch/en/book/ It's a very simple book, very high level, but explains the most popular

I assume exotic derivatives (binary, asian, barrier options...) and structured notes that predominantly use above said derivatives (autocallables, barrier reverse convertibles, accumulators etc.)

Yes, I think so, it's right next to the parking lot. I visited it about 3 years ago, but back then the tunnel was not accessible yet, it is now. Also, not sure if this is true, but our tour guide told us that Tesla himself actually nev

I highly recommend visiting the niagara parks power station museum on the Canadian side - they have a very interesting exhibition of the old power plant. You can even go down to the old tunnel and walk through it to see how the water was di

A bit of off topic, but recently I started learning F# because my new team at work uses it heavily, and even though I love writing in C# and even though the latest C# features are really nice (especially love patter matching), I wish now C#

pythonnet works, we use it in a pretty large (Python) codebase, but I’m much more excited about https://github.com/tonybaloney/CSnakes , which allows using Python in a proper statically typed language - C#.

On a slightly unrelated note, I am absolutely thrilled about tonybaloney’s other project[1] that automatically generates C# bindings for python. Can’t wait for it to support complete class mappings and finally I will be able to use python ‘

I’m curious why was this downvoted, sounds like an interesting idea to me.

I’ve seen it used for OTC option pricing - there’s no liquid market, so you are more of a market maker than a market taker.

I always thought that in a highly automated world, reducing the mandated working hours would be the solution to bring prosperity and peace, but there are some obvious problems with that. For example, in a global economy, nations compete wit

Personally, I didn’t enjoy it much, but it reminded me a lot of this book: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Struggle_(Knausgård_novel... .

I just recently tried again Redis Insight after about a year and a half of a break, and boy it got so much better! It was useful before, but it’s even better now. Even small things like the ability to build a tree out of the keys if you use

I use it too - it’s excellent, I’d think most developers don’t need more than this.

C# is lovely, and with eventual first class AOT support I believe it will become more widespread

Kids were 7 and 2 when we moved. Probably the biggest factor in timing the move was their age - I assumed that if we didn’t move then, then we won’t ever do it, as the children would grow older and it would make reintegration really difficu

We pulled a similar move last year - moved back to Europe from North America after living there for 10+ years. It was a very expensive and risky move, and just like you, I’m also unsure if it will work out great in the long term, but I can

My personal experience is quite the opposite - globalization allows capital to move to the lesser developed and cheaper places, bringing jobs and education, and over time an improved quality of life, so that people who were before desperate

Software scales better than hardware, so most investment (capital and intellectual) is in software.

Generally speaking you can group large financial institutions into two groups: sell side and buy side. I’m no expert, but afaik, these firms either SELL liquidity (e.g. investment banks, market makers etc.) or BUY liquidity (for example pen

Interestingly, I’ve noticed a significant drop in stackoverflow results when I Google in the recent months. Can’t really attribute it to anything, but an honest word sometimes I don’t use SO for weeks.

Loved using edge, was happy to have a good alternative to Chrome. Then they added this Bing button and some weird Toolbar to the side, and I never used it since. Went back to using Chrome. Would’ve used Firefox, but it doesn’t seem to have

Also, the argument ignores the potential velocity of money - as a million pounds moves through the economy it creates economic activity that otherwise may not happen, even if they just buy a boat.
