If you have an algorithmic edge, eventually it will stop working. If it's a really good one, your trades become someone else's edge. The market is constantly changing and active traders are constantly looking at what's going on and trying to take advantage. The more I looked into trading, the more it was just a sea of "Use these charts", "don't really trust these charts", and "once you lose a ton of money, you'll get a feel for things"

I won't downvote you, but I will die on the other hill - the one over there that has a guy sitting down with his arms folded sporting an angry face every time someone something positive about WSL. There's at least three of us on that hill. And we're not going anywhere.

I too went down that rabbithole. Haha. Anything around that time to get an edge in a fantasy football league. I found a bunch of historical NFL stats pdfs and it took forever to make usable data out of them.

Government is the worst possible solution to every problem.

(not an attack on you. I have to say that every time I see someone say anything along the lines of "the government should do it")

I would agree with you. Dating app data might not be legally protected like some PII out there, but there are easily foreseeable bad consequences from compromised dating app data of any kind. Security should be accounted for from the very beginning.

Old school Zeiss glass is like butter for any camera body. My dad told me to stick with Nikon and spend my money on lenses first. He was not wrong. You can put 25 year old professional lenses on a mid-market Nikon body and the images will be stunning with very little effort.

This is one of those decisions that confuses you when you're on a mac and things just don't work how you'd expect.

This is the kind of thing I would have expected to read in 2600 back in the day. And why I _always_ looked for 2600 at the bookstore.

I find this odd because that's exactly how I thought viruses worked when crossing species and I have no background that would lead me to that conclusion and have almost nothing in my life that would make me ponder such a thing.

I feel like someone explained this in the 80s to me.

Who buys a drill not strong enough for a hole saw? What does that even look like anyways? An electric screwdriver?

global from day one and circumvent government interference

--- There are banking laws all over the world that need to be considered and followed, the US in particular has a set of banking laws that differ in each state unless you are an actual bank that follows federal regulations.

Ignoring or being purposefully ignorant of the laws is a bad path.

The selling point of Rust was that it protects programmers from doing dangerous things.

The BFF pattern is just "mostly microservices dedicated to a particular client type".

It makes sense when you have drastically different needs between a desktop client and a mobile client (or maybe for a kiosk client or POS interface)

Hosting a microservice is cheap, it avoids unnecessary workload on backend data stores, and teams can operate with more autonomy if they don't have to cooperatively update APIs in coordination with other groups with differing priorities.

This article really just reads like "I figured out how to do authentication with keycloak using OIDC"

Today it is. Tomorrow everyone will look at it like Wish or Temu.
