As others have mentioned, you can find variations of this around online, but if you wish to roll you own (perhaps to add other features or what have you), you could knock it out in…

Did you actually read the article? Here's the most relevant quote: > The reality, however, is that China has struggled to create enough white-collar jobs for its soaring population…

> The bottom line is that when two parties enter into a contract voluntarily, that should be the end of the matter. That is a very black and white view; real life has a certain nua…

Find an employment attorney. Pay that person for an hour or two to read the contract for you. They will be able to offer much better advice than HN.

Thank you for posting this (it was quite a surprise to see his name here). I was a close friend of Emil for a long time. Before he passed, I had gotten busy with work and hadn't sp…

Exactly. It's so general that he's on base this time, but it's dubious if he actually has the experience to go into more detail.

Take what Jonathan Kinlay says about HFT with a grain of salt. He worked at a friend's firm briefly before leaving without making a single profitable strategy (although his excel m…

Wikipedia also has a good discussion of the basics as well as some generalizations: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractional_derivative Turns out there are even some applications,…

I did not. I described canceling orders as no big deal. Spoofing is illegal and very much a big deal. Spoofing implies canceling but canceling does not imply spoofing. In the examp…

This is blatant misinformation. Please stop spreading it. Canceling orders is something _all_ participants do. It's a vital part of risk management and a healthy market. Some marke…

Ah yes, downvotes outnumbering real responses. Classic HN.

I did miss that actually. Thank you for responding to me with something real. I'll reply again once I've had the opportunity to take a look.

That is not a valid comparison, and as someone who has been affected by drunk drivers, I take great issue with your trivialization of a serious issue. But I'd expect nothing less f…

I only brought that up to counter his claim that data loss is inevitable. Of course my anecdote doesn't mean it's not common =) But anecdotes are all anyone else has, and every tim…

TokuMX supports most of Mongo's features besides the aggregation framework last I looked. Better locking, transaction support, better indices too -- you should check it out.

This is the last one of these posts I'll ever respond to, I promise. And I'll give you the same response I've given every other time before: You should not base your decision of da…

Dang, I have the highest respect for what your moderation has done for HN. That said, unkilling this is just wrong. This sort of drivel is what I'd expect on Tumblr -- nit picking …

I reply to these posts on HN relatively frequently these days. These sorts of accusations about Mongo are out of hand, and not congruent with reality. I say this as someone who use…

Canonical released Pollen/Polinate a while ago to address this problem. The idea is that each virtual machine queries a pool of entropy servers to seed it's own generator, and as l…

Can these kind of comments stop? Please? This has been trumpeted pretty much constantly on HN, and even if it's true, does it matter? Is anyone seriously evaluating their database …

Isn't it right there in his comment? Seems that he doesn't like the idea of having to work for free to "rank higher" if recruiters start to use these sorts of scores. Since no othe…

I can see where you're coming from. For my particular apication that's not a concern (and I have sequence numbers to know when I've dropped data).

I'll start by saying that I agree with almost everything you've said. I can think of one time where a loop with a sleep might be appropriate though -- if you have something, perhap…
