The screenshot shows a software called "WebSerial Audio Studio". I couldn't find it, only https://serial-studio.com/ which also looks great (and has an open source edition). Does anyone know if it is the same? Looks pretty handy. Microchip had something not so sophisticated years ago.
Yes, that brings back the memory of working through books by Andre LaMothe and implementing little games in DOS with C and a little bit of Assembler. I believe there was a very primitive graphics library included in Borland C, but it was not that useful for this task.
Abstract:
Rhombus is a new language that is built on Racket. It offers the same kind of language extensibility as Racket
itself, but using conventional (infix) notation. Although Rhombus is far from the first language to support
Lisp-style macros without Lisp-style parentheses, Rhombus offers a novel synthesis of macro technology that is
practical and expressive. A key element is the use of multiple binding spaces for context-specific sublanguages.
For example, expressions and pattern-matching forms can use the same operators with different meanings and
without creating conflicts. Context-sensitive bindings, in turn, facilitate a language design that reduces the
notational distance between the core language and macro facilities. For example, repetitions can be defined and
used in binding and expression contexts generally, which enables a smoother transition from programming
to metaprogramming. Finally, since handling static information (such as types) is also a necessary part of
growing macros beyond Lisp, Rhombus includes support in its expansion protocol for communicating static
information among bindings and expressions. The Rhombus implementation demonstrates that all of these
pieces can work together in a coherent and user-friendly language.
I am curious why a curriculum in the US includes four courses on calculus. Why isn't this just part of maybe three analysis courses for undergraduate studies?
Just to add to this that AD was also a game changer for the banks in terms of necessary computing power and the time it needs to do these calculations. Antoine Savine describes this well in "Modern Computational Finance: AAD and Parallel Simulations", if someone is interested in this topic.
A long time ago, I found a website with a description of how the 2.5d engine of GTA works. Would anybody here maybe remember where that was posted and could provide an URL?
We are still using requests over the SFTP server, but I guess rather sooner than later that will change. However, when it comes to Refinitiv, I can't complain about the REST API for Datascope Select and TickHistory.
Would you know how good the quality of the options data at polygon.io is?
Well, if the sources of financial data will remain to be AlphaVantage and Reddit, yes, but as soon as they would get the really interesting data, I don't think they could keep the prices low. Even only access to one IBOR from the administrator can cost you a lot.
I don't really see the advantage over Bloomberg or Refinitiv. If I would really want to use Python within the application, there is already Refinitiv's codebook (Jupyter within Eikon). Both Bloomberg and Refinitiv are also offering an API (or too many APIs actually) and I don't see that many users of the terminal or Eikon would like to or have the resources to actually develop or maintain a fork of the application.
I don't see a convincing reason why information conservation would need two additional photons. The author mentions himself in the conclusions that the standard two photons of the annihilation process could carry the additional energy.
Reminds me of Martin Hairer commenting on what he is going to do with his $3m breakthrough prize-money:
“We moved to London somewhat recently, three years ago, and we are still renting. So it might be time to buy a place to live." [0]
