This is a great tool. The api surface takes a bit to figure out, and navigating manipulating the syntax tree can require some trial and error, but I’ve used this to do large scale refactors that would have been very time consuming if done b

Yes, I'm sure. Is is father or mother Austrian? There was a period in 2014 wherein children affected by this law were allowed to apply for Austrian citizenship - perhaps he took advantage of that. There has also been a recent change fo

I hope Austria will make a similar change. Children born before 1983 only acquired citizenship if their father was Austrian or they were born out of wedlock to a single mother. When they changed the law in 1983 it was not made retroactive -

Overlays can be very helpful for this type of thing. I have overlays in ~/.config/nixpkgs/overlays.nix (though you do this various ways) My overlay file has the form: let my-packages-overlay = self: super: { foo = s

I've been using Anki for the past year while learning German and it has been (seemingly) very helpful. I doubt I would have acquired the vocabulary I have in the past year without it. I'm not sure if this is simply due the fact th

Are there any other more modern (read: available) books you recommend on the topic? Gloor's work is about $500 presently on amazon and not available electronically.

Balderdash. There were many examples of outright fraud in the years leading up to 2008, some of which are presently being discovered in civil suits. The perpetuators of these frauds have never been brought to justice. (or even really invest

Right. My point is it is illegal to enter an order into the market with the intent of goading someone into trading or to manipulate the price unless it is a bona-fide offer to buy or sell. Intent matters with regard to illegality, and I don

You can't be serious. Quote stuffing the channel is standard HFT practice. 99% of the orders placed are never meant to be hit. The SEC is incapable and uninterested in policing this stuff. Put a .5 second minimum TTL on every order and you'

Or even (granted that I'm assuming the whole db api here is fake, and you'd actually probably be using core data here) NSArray *records = [[db find:[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:@"Joe" forKey:@"name"] limit:10]

This is 'fixed' however in a bunch of server-side frameworks. (I'm not sure about rails, I don't use it) I've used a hack (I think lifted from django) whereby if you are running firefox and and your request came in with an x-requested-with

Another idea (sans - or in addition to a tax) to improve the signal / noise ratio of the markets: mandate that all B/Os put out there have a TTL of 5 seconds or until they are hit. So if you Bid at X, you can't pull that bid 10 microseconds

When I say I have seen it I mean I have seen it first hand. I have worked for banks where trades were unwound with the counter-party for this exact reason. The implementation is messy, but no bank on the other side of a trade wants to be pa

by nomurrcy 15y ago
Yes I would say the exact same thing. The buyer was a direct counter-party to a trade involving stolen property. The buyer isn't liable as he didn't know the property was stolen, but he don't get to keep the property. Typically in this case

I received the following from Drop box late last night: We are writing to let you know that there was some activity in your Dropbox account that we'd like you to review. On June 19, 2011, there was a brief bug with our authentication system

I'm not really sure I agree with this. The right to sell something is predicated on owning the item in question. A buyer of stolen goods is unable to take legal ownership, it doesn't matter if he doesn't know the item is stolen. (i.e. I ste

I've never found it to be that awkward to extend existing classes from java. Part of the problem in clojure are there are so many different ways to do it, all with different shortcomings. For simple adding of a protocol to a class you can a

One small note: Debt for an individual is a choice. However our monetary system mandates that some people or entities must always be in debt. If there were no debt there would be almost no money in circulation. So while you say that debt is

A lot of developers (myself included) don't use the dot syntax for property access for this reason and another: x.foo = z; becomes an ambiguous statement in obj-c when you use dot access. Is x an object? then this is a message send. Is x a

There is nothing informal about the following and it does seem unscrupulous: * You give me $1000 asking me to develop a site for you, in addition to the $1000 you want to split ownership 50/50. * I agree. We sign a contract. I cash your che

I'm betting they took this on contingency and will take a cut of the winnings. If so the firm is willing to risk their own capital.

I'm not saying that Mr. Ceglia is right, but the amount of people on this thread outright dismissing his claims is laughable. He has now had his claims vetted by at least one major law firm. I guarantee you they looked closely at his claims

I can't believe people are responding negatively to your comment. Of course you can do development in the simulator or on an older model for a couple of weeks. Developing on the old model is probably a must-do for at least another year or t

I don't see your point and the authors point being completely contradictory. The purported role of the commodities futures markets is to 'provide liquidity' to commodities producers and consumers and allow them to sell the production (and b

They are also seemingly fraudulent in another sense. Many of these mortgage-backed securities are coming under scrutiny for not being properly "mortgage-backed" at all. When created proper paperwork trails were not kept, and the notes and m
