> 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 Rap…

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, b…

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

Would you mind sharing which course it was? Is it available online by any chance?

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…

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 th…

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 …

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 stati…

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 comple…

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…

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 was sure I read this story before, but couldn’t recall it for whatever reason, however you hint made me remember it, thanks :)

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…

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 wou…

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 u…

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 improv…

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

Who’s John Galt anyway…

Fwiw, I use VSCode with the ’REST Client’ extension and it’s pretty much all I need: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=humao.re...

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 …
