I am a researcher/trader and I spend a large portion of my time programming, but I am ultimately paid off the change in profitability of the strategies I've worked on and not on the code I've written. It's a means to an end.
When someone is working on a purely technical project, how can they successfully argue for the value of their work? How do you measure the value of a purely technical project? Are there other metrics that matter?
You must not be considering the total return of all your wealth just a limited subset. If you started with 10k and earned 300% (138.6% continuously compounded) then after 5 years you will have over $10mm. Wait another 3.3 years and you're a billionaire...
Julia lover here. I love having math at my fingertips and the ease of writing x’x\x’y. I like writing numerical code, knowing I can change types later and it will likely work. Still, I miss tab-tab from ipython for method completion from time to time and I work all day in mostly C++.
I get upset when they call it unlimited data and then cap the rate you can download. if you can only download 1 unit an hour, you are effectively capped at 744 Units per month.
It would also be great to see how these scale with terminal size. I personally use iterm2 but after switching to a new Macbook pro this year with two 5k displays it's noticeably slower. I'm assuming some O(n^2) scaling behind the scenes but I haven't measured anything myself. Still, @gnachman I love your term especially with terminalplots.jl and drawing Julia repl images inline.
Get an individual patent and get arrange to get paid via royalty licensing. As I understand it, this is all long term cap gains. However. I am not a lawyer or a tax advisor.
This is exciting. I'm excited to see keno here too. He has been really helpful in helping get Cxx.jl working. It's awesome. Being able to interactively work on c++ and to load external dynamic libraries is really useful. Thanks for working on this I can't wait to see where this goes.
I've heard that the new laws being written in NY to prevent hydrolic fracking are being carefully wordsmithed so they will still allow fracking with natural gas instead. I wish I could find a source but im not sure how well known this issue is. Can anyone comment further?
Yes. Weather spark. The guys who wrote it are super chill and I love their product. I love looking at the averages they have before I plan a vacation and the great way they integrate historical information with forecasts into a time series has tons of information that I love.
`date 1>&2 | sleep 1 | date 1>&2 | sleep 1 | date 1>&2`
you'll actually see the three date commands output immediately so the three julia processes would actually launch in parallel if they were in a pipe
