calgaryeng··on What Successful People Do With The First Hour Of Their Work Day
I think the real key here is focus ... Meandering on Twitter for your first hour isn't going to get you anywhere.

I'd like an invite...
calgaryeng··on Ask HN: What are your side projects?
http://easyretirementplanning.ca - Not only is this a side project, it's also my first foray into web development! (I am a chemical engineer).

Old news!
calgaryeng··on Show HN: Please comment on my weekend project
Thanks for the input! I had been thinking about a video, but for now text is far easier to display in a half-decent fashion (design is not my strong suit haha).

What would your thoughts be on pricing? I had been thinking I could sell it on pure savings vs. 1.5% of assets that a fin advisor might charge. I'm open to suggestions.

I'm not doing anything re: DFA equivalents at the moment - I allow the user to select allowable asset classes, and then they pick a target allocation from a list. I have pre-calculated efficient frontiers for all permutations of the allowable asset classes using reverse portfolio optimization.

Not just compression. NG also has a much lower energy density than oil/gasoline. Not as compact
calgaryeng··on Mean Variance Optimization
There are already a number of libraries in R that do this (including reverse portfolio optimization and Black-Litterman optimization)!
calgaryeng··on Non-Tech Founder of YCW12 Daily Muse Learns Code & Builds New Feature in 6 Days
I was wondering how much "elitism" this article might inspire. Not every bit of software needs to be developed through a TDD process using the latest NoSQL database and concurrent programming techniques. Sometimes the 80% (heck, even 40%) solution is all that is required.... Good on this person for taking some initiative.
