This is a great tool. The api surface takes a bit to figure out, and navigating manipulating the syntax tree can require some trial and error, but I’ve used this to do large scale …

Yes, I'm sure. Is is father or mother Austrian? There was a period in 2014 wherein children affected by this law were allowed to apply for Austrian citizenship - perhaps he took ad…

I hope Austria will make a similar change. Children born before 1983 only acquired citizenship if their father was Austrian or they were born out of wedlock to a single mother. Whe…

I have this same issue with my Sony headphones. 1. Open Utilities -> Audio Midi Setup 2. In the left pane click + and add a new aggregate device 3. Add your internal mic to the agg…

Overlays can be very helpful for this type of thing. I have overlays in ~/.config/nixpkgs/overlays.nix (though you do this various ways) My overlay file has the form: let my-packag…

I've been using Anki for the past year while learning German and it has been (seemingly) very helpful. I doubt I would have acquired the vocabulary I have in the past year without …

Are there any other more modern (read: available) books you recommend on the topic? Gloor's work is about $500 presently on amazon and not available electronically.

I've used it twice. Once for a Seattle -> Berlin -> Munich -> Seattle trip. Another time for my honeymoon (Seattle -> Krabi -> Tokyo -> Seattle) Both times I found business class t…

I switched a personal server over to freebsd (8 or so at the time) a while ago after battling with zfs on linux. (I was hitting some strange issues at the time which I can't really…

Balderdash. There were many examples of outright fraud in the years leading up to 2008, some of which are presently being discovered in civil suits. The perpetuators of these fraud…

Right. My point is it is illegal to enter an order into the market with the intent of goading someone into trading or to manipulate the price unless it is a bona-fide offer to buy …

You can't be serious. Quote stuffing the channel is standard HFT practice. 99% of the orders placed are never meant to be hit. The SEC is incapable and uninterested in policing thi…

Or even (granted that I'm assuming the whole db api here is fake, and you'd actually probably be using core data here) NSArray *records = [[db find:[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObje…

This is 'fixed' however in a bunch of server-side frameworks. (I'm not sure about rails, I don't use it) I've used a hack (I think lifted from django) whereby if you are running fi…

Another idea (sans - or in addition to a tax) to improve the signal / noise ratio of the markets: mandate that all B/Os put out there have a TTL of 5 seconds or until they are hit.…

When I say I have seen it I mean I have seen it first hand. I have worked for banks where trades were unwound with the counter-party for this exact reason. The implementation is me…

Yes I would say the exact same thing. The buyer was a direct counter-party to a trade involving stolen property. The buyer isn't liable as he didn't know the property was stolen, b…

I received the following from Drop box late last night: We are writing to let you know that there was some activity in your Dropbox account that we'd like you to review. On June 19…

I'm not really sure I agree with this. The right to sell something is predicated on owning the item in question. A buyer of stolen goods is unable to take legal ownership, it doesn…

I've never found it to be that awkward to extend existing classes from java. Part of the problem in clojure are there are so many different ways to do it, all with different shortc…

One small note: Debt for an individual is a choice. However our monetary system mandates that some people or entities must always be in debt. If there were no debt there would be a…

Exactly.

A lot of developers (myself included) don't use the dot syntax for property access for this reason and another: x.foo = z; becomes an ambiguous statement in obj-c when you use dot …

What kind of outrageous claims? (Just curious) To me what is shocking is that most people thing the Federal Reserve (which is probably the most powerful institution in the country)…

There is nothing informal about the following and it does seem unscrupulous: * You give me $1000 asking me to develop a site for you, in addition to the $1000 you want to split own…
