That list has Avengers Infinity War and Endgame on it by the way.

In trading all threads are pinned to a core, so that scenario doesn't happen.

Except for the Ubers, everything you listed that was added, moves more people than cars do. Public transit, bike lanes, walkable areas provide viable alternatives methods of transi…

Thanks for the kind words! For anyone curious to dive deeper into the crazyness that is quantum mechanics I can highly recommend a few resources: - Sean M Carroll's work, in partic…

Superconductivity is fascinating. I don't know how people were able to come up with the explanations. Crudely, the reduced temperature means less jiggling of the metal lattice. Thi…

Yep! That's why I said it _sounds like_ a conspiracy theory. Just hope it can be halted in time.

This will sound like a conspiracy theory, but this is the playbook of Curtis Yarvin, specifically the "RAGE" step - Retire All Government Employees. Some references: Watch the whol…

The comment about an "email chain could have been a 30-second chit chat" is such a straw-man argument. On top of that, forcing everyone to commute up to an hour each way is a blata…

Isn't that the opposite of the intended implementation? I don't write Rust, but I think your implementation will always return either `None` or the "fallback" value with the `"-def…

Why is heap allocation and shared_ptr required? Can't you have the user store the widgets in whatever manner they want, as values?

I see some confusion in the comments about C++ moves. I wrote an article in 2013 after it clicked for me: https://kholdstare.github.io/technical/2013/11/23/moves-demy... . It goes …

I think you missed his point completely. The point is that money removes the consequences of their and other's actions. Without this visceral understanding of the world, those peop…

The other comments have mentioned the tools. On linux, there's good old perf. There's `perf stat` that uses CPU performance counters to give you a high-level view if your workload …

And the code is godawful. Just look at this mess for internationalization: https://github.com/i365dev/LetterDrop/blob/main/app%2Fsrc%2F... . The code is unmaintainable by a human -…

To reiterate the other comments - 15 minute cities are about _adding_ things so _more is accessible_ within a 15 minute travel time, such as stores, schools, public transit etc. No…

That is definitely not how USDC is set up. The creator takes 1 USD, and gives back 1 USDC and vice versa. In this case, some of the USD held at SVB disappeared, so Circle has less …

This makes no sense. Circle's holdings are backing USDC. They can't use the money backing other USDC to buy more USDC. That's just market manipulation.

Yes! I almost forgot about market orders because trading firms never use market orders for this exact reason - you have no control over the price if things go bad. Most flash crash…

Yes. In my reply to the first comment I mentioned setting the opening price is "more complicated". Every exchange has their own system for the opening auction which you buy into wh…

Worked in HFT for a few years. The reason why most markets are not open 24 hours is more human, and just historical - aligned with people's 9-5 workday. There are also pre open and…

Why not both? Have a free version and a paid version with more features/terrains/cars etc.
