I started using C# towards the end of the 1.0 beta or maybe just after RTM...I embarrassingly called it "C pound" for quite a while. Because, even as someone born and raised in the…

This is a vast, _vast_ over-simplification: The primary "feature" of HFT is providing liquidity to market. HFT firms are (almost) always willing to buy or sell at or near the curre…

The problem is: it's infectious into the generated code, as well. Is that 3rd party or not? Yes, it was generated by a 3rd party tool, but from, ostensibly, _your_ protobuf file. e…

Hey, at least Python is nowhere near Perl in terms of language creep. I don't need a Period Table of Operators [0] to keep Python straight in my head. [0] https://www.ozonehouse.co…

A thought: maybe the pulse could be some sort of link status probing? e.g. "is this thing plugged in?"

Total stab in the dark here, but it could be the local time on the device. Your local clock needs to be relatively close to the actual clock. I've run into this more than a few tim…

On desktop, the embedded video is also fairly small and annoyingly, they disallow full-screen. why?

FWIW, you have some control over how this inference is done. Search your settings in vscode for `@ext:ms-python.vscode-pylance strict`.
