I've been using this for a few months to provide a defensible sandboxed execution environment for internal software stacks.
It's basically a single file bwrap+AppArmor virtualenv wrapper with practically zero startup time and provides a easy way to provide your agent the ability to write code for, and run it against an internal virtualenv software stack.
There has been a generation of activists and NIMBYs campaigning and protesting to artificially inflate the cost of nuclear, while having this delicious benefit of now being also able to claim about the cost of nuclear.
The ballooning of costs is not even significantly due to changing safety requirements, but often due to compliance and environmental requirements. Those are political requirements that could be removed in one fell swoop.
I'm not british either, but I understand the culture here is to disparage and discriminate against poor people in a slightly more polite and indirect way.
I’ve never seen it used for backtests personally. Generally backtested results are saved as a batch of variants following some naming convention as different symbols.
You would use some convention for naming and parametrising backtests, 'different' backtests would get stored separately. But once you start updating backtests, running them in a loop with changing data, that's when the time-travel feature starts to be useful.
I think you just fundamentally misvalue what he is optimising for. It's live or die by alpha generation, and his tradeoffs are not HFT. There is going to be a whole other infra and opsec for executing the strategy.
I think it is somewhat like git's creation story. Sometimes a senior dev sees a tool that is close to ideal but needs to work a little differently than what the industry has built.
Databases are up there with encryption. Don't roll your own... mentality.
But sometimes they don't fit the problem your solving. Sometimes the data never changes so why have infrastructure for updates.
Having a big DB running all the time could be too expensive for your business model
Also it is good to be curious about "what is an index" and how does a parquet file look in hex editor. Why can't I write the underlying db table outside of postgres. Why are joins hard..
And then you discover your tools give you a competitive edge
Most of the time there are existing tools, but sometimes they don't.
Not being a xxxx, but I wanted to honestly ask about how you square or feel about those that start vaping in order to quit smoking, and then just massively become into vaping, talk about it all the time and the gadgetry and accessories, the community, etc.
I've got a few friends that went this way and it's a bit... odd.
I think it's a little bit silly, but I went through that phase for about a year, so I don't judge the people too harshly. as long as you're not chucking huge clouds at people in a public space, I think it's mostly harmless.
in a way, it kinda reminds me of the pc overclocking community.
It's just a hobby, like being "into" craft beer, whiskey, or PC gaming. Those aren't healthy in excess either, and it is annoying when someone only wants to talk about their one interest, but overall it isn't really hurting anyone else. It's a bit of a red herring to bring that up when Juul is by far the lowest-effort vaping method - you wouldn't have to know how to build a coil or mix VG/PG to use one.
It's the replacement part that I was referring to. More like if the friend was previously drinking too much whisky, and thought they should stop drinking so much alcohol, so got massively into craft beer.
It's because it works so much better than anything else. But then it becomes insidious and if one is smart, you don't keep it around anymore. But for those with addiction issues, way better to be Juul than pretty much any other addiction
Probably the same way you'd feel about a friend that got all into beer and has to try all the "exotics" then goes out and buys a bunch of stuff to brew it themselves.
You aren't wrong, but some of us have been here for 10 years or more. I have a very different measure of the cost / benefit of the increase in churn of online discourse as that which I would presume to find on YouTube
I'm continually surprised this isn't a major international scandal.
Some Americans don't like google interfering with their discourse and they spend their time using constitutional arguments as to how ok that is or not. International people watching these arguments look on with boredom.
Meanwhile, and american company per default explicitly shapes the dialog of the entire world and people shrug.
The international angle on this is absolutely scandalous and no one cares. Every international government acknowledges the problems of the great firewall of China, but this doesn't matter?
