Obligatory xkcd

<t>They do mention LexiFi in the paper by Frankau et al referenced in the talk.QuoteLater work (Peyton Jones et al., 2000; Peyton Jones & Eber, 2003) used Haskellto allow payouts to be defined in an abstract functional language and to providemultiple interpretations of the products. This work wa...

<t>I can vouch for the goodness of the direction vectors on the site you referenced. For the CURAND random number generation library in the CUDA Toolkit, we initially took the buggy numbers from before June 2010. As we added tests we started seeing problems, then we went back and saw that the data s...

Got my copy yesterday, it's good so far.

<t>You might also look at John Harrison, "Fast and Accurate Bessel Function Computation", ARITH2009. He has asymptotic expansions for J_0, Y_0, J_1, Y_1 that are better than Abramowitz & Stegun's. He uses them to get high precision function values, but they can also be used to get high precision...

<t>I think it is "reapply" and "reapplying", I saw it spelled with one "p" a few places.I don't get what this paper has to do with Fukushima. A few paragraphs or a citation directly explaining the relevance would be helpful. In general it would be nice to know when to apply the regress argument and ...

<t>Learned from experience - don't try to be tricky, just find a good hosting provider and use them to buy your domain name. It costs SLIGHTLY more, but it saves you time and aggravation. Some problems I've had in the past: fiddling with DNS settings, forgetting about domain names I own, old credit ...

<t>I got the book and have been reading it. It's excellent, lots of good insight into how markets actually work and who all the participants are and why they do the things they do. Based on my own very limited understanding, the book is surprisingly applicable to electronic trading and high-frequenc...

<t>Here's a thought about the problem, not a full solution yet though.Construct a binary tree. The root node contains the min and max values and their locations within [0,now]. The left side records the min and max values and locations on [0,now/2]. The right side records the min/max for the interva...

I would never hire someone that didn't care about work content, work environment, or work hours. I'm on the tech side. Just a data point.

Thanks acastaldo and bearish. I ordered the Trading and Exchanges book, looks good.Any recommendations for up-to-date books or papers on electronic trading along similar lines?

Found this paper by Lawrence Harris, The Winners and Losers of the Zero-Sum Game.It seems interesting, but it's old and I don't have enough wisdom to know if it's true or just one guy's view. Anyone with more experience have opinions on this paper?

<r>Accuracy requirements can also make a big difference. If you don't need accuracy down to the last bit, you can sometimes radically speedup functions.As an example, here is a *legendary* routine for a quick inverse square-root.Read the story about it here:<URL url="http://www.beyond3d.com/content/...

<t>The UBW32 is the "DIY hobbyist" version of the official Microchip eval boards. The advantages are that it is cheap ($40), lots of functionality, and fits into breadboards once you solder in the pins. The disadvantages are that it requires more fiddling, and it's not guaranteed to work with all of...

<t>QuoteOriginally posted by: farmerCan you list the things that make this a better option compared to just using a Microchip controller?The PIC32 is a Microchip controller (isn't it?). If you mean, why is the PIC32 better than the older PICs, for my case it was RAM and processing speed. The PIC32 i...
