Building algorithmic trading models. So far results continue to be good with every model outperforming the market on both absolute and risk-adjusted basis since going live. Since launching https://grizzlybulls.com in January 2022: Model | Return | Max drawdown ------------------- S&P 500 (benchmark) | 21.51% | -27.56% VIX TA Macro MP Extreme | 64.21% | -16.48% VIX TA Macro Advanced| 59.13% | -19.12% VIX TA Advanced |…

Does your book have a digital version?

Not yet, but I plan to write a revised edition incorporating some of the feedback I've gotten in the near future. I'll include a digital version with it.

I've been diving head-first into raw, nerdy, mathy concurrency theory.

Something fun about being into niche subjects in computer science is that the textbooks for them have very low resale value. As a result, you can make "best offers" on eBay for 1/2 or even less than the suggested price, and it will likely be accepted since the seller really just wants to get rid of them.

I've been taking advantage of this and purchased a bunch of obscure concurrency theory books that I've been reading through.

Just harvested my chilies and first time trying to ferment a jar and pickle a bunch as well. Trying out https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1021581-pickled-jalapeno... but using lots of different chilies instead of only jalapenos. In-progress pic: https://ibb.co/XFBpyYV

Me too!

I have made 2 batches of fermented pepper sauce already this year and going for a third today. I include onions, carrots and garlic in the ferment. Getting great feedback on it.

Here is my chilis (because they are awesome and I'm really proud of them): https://ibb.co/8czYf6R

I'm working on a CI system with DSL instead of yaml configs. The general premise is that most sufficiently advanced yaml configs begin to look like code - e.g. in Github Actions one could look at external Actions and shared workflows as dynamic libraries; workflows as public functions; jobs and steps as internal ones. We have better languages than yaml-structure-as-a-code, and tools to help us write and test them qui…

Sounds a lot like https://dagger.io/ . Maybe you can take some inspiration from them

Thanks! Dagger looks really nice :)

I built an English-speaking website that helps immigrants settle in Berlin.[0] It has been my full time job for a while. Most English speakers know about it, but it's nearly invisible to Germans, who would also benefit from the content and tools I have worked on. I'm currently adding an automated AI translation feature to my custom static site generator, so that I can translate the website to multiple languages and r…

Hi! This website is for me! I moved to Berlin about a week ago, and am staying for some months.

Fortunately, I have a native friend who has been explaining everything so far, but this is an amazing bridge so I won't have to ask a billion questions. (And this is written from an outsiders perspective, so basically no knowledge is assumed). I'm looking forward to reading it all

Thank you! This makes my life a lot easier.

I'm implementing a Scheme interpreter in Rust as a way to learn and get bettet in both of those languages (but mainly Rust). I picked the R3RS specification of Scheme as it looked like the simplest one, but I've been surprised by the complexity of numbers in Scheme. This is the most excited I've been about a programming project in years, and I'm looking forward to the fun and the learning. And I'm really curious to s…

Someone has implemented a Scheme interpreter in Rust. Steel Scheme. I was studying that project a year back.

I've moved to Berlin some time ago, and your website helped me very VERY much with navigating all this madness. keep it up!
