I got 10/10 and I know exactly zero about VFX and CGI. I did it really fast too. The only one that I hesitated was the aurora borealis. That said, this isn't some sort of great victory. I expect that soon my intuition…
You shouldn't have responded then, because we have nothing to talk about.
If you wanna be relevant to the conversation you're gonna have to clarify for me: are you in the camp that thinks Gnome treats its users like they're stupid, or not?
I know absolutely nothing about Gnome, but my comment wasn't about Gnome specifically. It just grabbed my attention when people say "software X treats people like they're stupid", and then they want things done for them.

Hmmm guys, twitter opens on my Firefox. How can I fix it?
Right, thanks for that. My fault for skipping every other word. This had really soured my day for a bit there, but you brought it back. Debian is one of those things that I consider a source of stability in my software…

100^(-1/4) is not 1/6. It's closer to 1/3.
Linus Torvals best programmer of his generation, change my mind.
The other one being Wikipedia.
When I was a kid I used to think that pasta came from a pasta factory.
Why do people like IRC? Separate question: is it encrypted?
Completely irrelevant. A manager at a bank is not pushing for RTO at the bank because a restaurant has a loan. You're missing the point of this conversation.
I'm in the UK. I buy the cheapest t-shirts in bulk from Primark. They're still going. I bought them about 7 years ago for 1 pound each. I think they're 2.5 pounds now.

People in the Western world are comfortable and people in China are very motivated. I've been reading "the man who solved the market" about Jim Simons and his hedge fund Renaissance. This reminds me that there was a…

Good optimizers will not react to half empty office space by pushing for RTO. They'll react by pushing for smaller office. So the problem that you pointed out isn't optimization as a concept, it's dumb people.
This is what I'd really like to know. What really REALLY is behind managers/executives pushing for RTO. My theory so far is that they believe that employees working from home take advantage of decreased supervision to…
I'm talking about the index. No, you haven't. Because if you did, you woulnd't be looking at an exponential and saying "but but but it reverts!!!!"
> In fact, high performing equities if anything tend to fall and regress to the mean. Ok, honest question. Have you ever looked at the S&P, say over 50 years? Just simple yes or no.
You're making this sound more complicated that it is. Correlations, random walks, backtesting, strategies, rebalancing, kelly criterion, have nothing to do with this. Bonds give you cash later. Cash loses value over…
