I'm unsure if this is true anymore? The ingredient list and information from their website seems to indicate that this is no longer an ingredient (although some of their products d…

Jane Street?

They don’t really have to be losing in the long term, being short deep out-of-the-money puts nets you an option premium if the underlying never crashes, and once you delta-hedge th…

To be fair, this book definitely doesn’t start from first principles since UIUC requires several classes before 374 (the class which uses this book). UIUC splits the data structure…

Compiler Explorer was used to teach some basics of compiler optimization in my computer architecture class a couple of years ago, but the About Me page was the first time I had hea…

Is this just a threshold secret sharing implementation? Definitely a cool implementation, fun name

Enforcing the law becomes a lot harder when a community lacks trust in you, and kids who don't trust police officers turn into adults who don't trust police officers, and teach the…

How does it actually feel to ride? I feel like the self-balancer may pull away from you more than normal

I’m going to chime in despite being a broke college student. I’ve been using ledger for about 2 years now, and daily reconciliation of what I actually spent is more helpful to me t…

The issue isn’t really the paper (although one can argue that any single use item isn’t ideal), paper coffee cups contain a thin layer of plastic on the inside to prevent leaking, …

Emacs absolutely overuses it, every time you scroll to the end or beginning of a file it beeps.

For reference, the University of Illinois CS department, which has a significant number of international students, is having synchronous online lectures for 95% of the courses offe…

US schools can't exactly support all those American students without income, and international students are that source of income. My university (UIUC) heavily relies on internatio…

Thinkpad, or XPS 13/15 have good Linux support. I run Manjaro on my X1 Yoga, and I’ve heard the T line is really sturdy

Even as a college student, same. My quality of learning has seriously gone down the hill without the same access to my peers for homework and projects

I fully support this, Harvard has definitely committed some questionable acts recently. However, Ivy League schools in general are well known for their prestige, and they usually h…

The top performer attributes are also interesting, the majority of Asian immigrants come to the US with a technical job, resulting in children who tend to succeed in similar subjec…

While self learning tools is obviously a useful skill, it's also nice to have someone experienced give you a full overview of how things work. For example, I learned how to use a s…
