Man I really hope other people get this one, because it is awesome.

Huh? What do you mean unavailable? I see it just fine.

Is there a sane web Notification Center yet? Nope. Sigh.

All GitLab notifications are via email unless someone explicitly @s you. Furthermore, there is no api to notification. Basically, unless you monitor email, you don’t get notifications. It’s horrible.

Can we just get a decent unified Notification Center, please? Notifications in GitLab are painful, just copy how GitHub does it and stop trying to make it so complicated.

Ran a business that started on stitch. What a painful piece of software that is. We had a heavily custom integration to their api and very high order volume. Moved to NetSuite, built many a customization and integration. NetSuite is great, but expensive and you will find the developer experience painful. As an ERP without investing heavily in customization it does a great job.

Blosc is an outstanding project. I have used it with great success in finance and general data science in production with very large total datasets (one custom binary format and one leveraging protobufs).

It really shines first and foremost as a meta compressor, giving the developer a clean block based API. Once integrated (which really is quite easy) you can experiment easy with different compressors and preconditioners to see what works best with your dataset. These things can be changed at runtime and give you great flexibility.

Francesc has been advancing blosc consistently with a steady vision for years and years. It is one of the most underrated tools around IMO.

Here’s an idea: don’t project your values or idea of worth on what other people choose to do with their life. You’re not as righteous as you may think you are, I guarantee it.

For soccer it’s trivial to remove the aerial aspect from the youth game, in fact they’ve already done it. No headers, no throw ins, etc. Doing so doesn’t do much to change the game at a youth level.

Football on the other hand... it’s pretty much impossible to take the CTE risk away without ending up with another sport (rugby, Aussie rules, whatever).

IMO the long term viability of US football is not good.

This is how any reasonable institution not 100% focused on cryptocurrencies will gain cryptocurrency exposure. The big reason is they are backed by CME clearing and settlement. It helps to significantly reduce the counter-party risk associated with other venues.

No, they aren't. There are all sorts of futures contracts, and they are all derivatives and none are indexes themselves. There are equity index futures, single stock futures, foreign exchange futures, treasury futures, etc. Cash settlement vs the ability to take settlement in the physical underlying is where you might be getting confused, but they're all futures nonetheless.

The underlying assets were stable. Are you sure about that? Go check some intraday prices. Have a gander at AAPL or GE or COST.

It makes a ton of sense, actually. Intense fear drove large demands for liquidity thus spiking volatility. Thinly traded stocks and ETFs were hit harder than thick ones. ETFs, in particular, had additional demands placed on them as their underlyings were thrashed about at the open as many rushed to sell. The halts were from both limit up/down price band violations and volatility pauses and they did exactly what they were designed to do. In short: liquidity costs money and it isn't an infinite resource.

We did 13 billion shares yesterday, which is nearly 2x the 10 day average. The market was far from broken. In fact, I'd say it performed remarkably well.
