This is great! When working with large files, I'd like zoom in/out to be a bit snappier. I'd also like right click -> zoom to selection.

> A jail broken/rooted device may not have the same protections since jail breaking is typically circumventing that sort of threat protection.

If it was jail-breakable, that security was never there in the first place.

I'd like to stream high-quality, low-latency audio from a C++ app alongside webcam/mic from chrome/firefox. The receiver should get video and a mixed blended audio. Maybe even screenshare and mouse/keyboard control. Is this possible?

How does this compare to dosbox for running games?

Even without that 2x, all benchmarks are still in the same ballpark which is impressive in its own right. It will be interesting to see where this goes.

It's an evolution of the same language: K3 = K (Kx) / Kona (Kevin Lawler open source), K4 = Q (in the current Kx KDB), K7 = Shakti (Arthur Whitney's most recent project),

Drivel. We just don't need people who neither understand the technology or the business getting in the way.

There are plenty of other mod designers for the original 303. I'm sure there will be a bunch of non-Devil Fish mods anyway.

I wonder if more dynamic music is actually worse for developing tinnitus and so on when listening on headphones. As the perceived loudness is lower for dynamic music, people turn it up to compensate. This means that the peaks in real terms are actually louder than the equivalent super-compressed stuff while achieving the same listening level.

Really nice

There are many kinds of lots of things. If the nuances don't interest you, that's ok. Fortunately nobody made you the authority on the subject.

Deutsche employs tens of thousands of software engineers. I think it's relevant.

And now I see that you've already started one!

This is excellent. I'd love to see even more on Pandas.

There are loads of coffee shops and cafes in the UK that don't take cash any more.

It's obviously density related, even in London.

I remember these guys. It was one of the best ways to order food to the office that pleased everyone. It was comparatively good food vs its competitors back in the day.

This hasn’t been my experience. Any problems with an order, they refund immediately no questions asked and add an extra £5 as an apology. Over the years, this has been consistent.

Uber Eats customer service is like pulling teeth. Never had a refund after several incidents and we try not to use them any more.

tl;dr: you should know about leap seconds.

> 4. If your code which you wrote few years back looks bad to you, then you are on right path.

What if the recent stuff looks bad too? :)

OK I'll read this, just gotta check facebook first...

"The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) is an international financial institution owned by central banks."

You can make your own mind up on whether this would make them biased or not.

Because where you live with your family is a better environment for them than a industrial estate car park.

I hate them all equally.

As someone who lives in the UK and has spent a lot of time in Japan, I can promise you that it's way more dangerous to be a pedestrian in the UK. Pedestrian crossings mean nothing to the zooming, lycra-clad morons who think the roads are their own private velodrome.

Most of thos stuff, you work out after a few months in Japan. I get the feeling there is more that the author's personal situation that he isn't saying. After 10 years, I really expect a deeper and more nuanced critique. The most difficult experiences in Japan come from not really knowing people more than what they want to show you. The Japanese are masters of the 'public face'.

What a crime. This was an always educational, usually funny blog.

Definitely stick with HDF5 and Python for what you're doing. Postgress doesn't lend itself well to timeseries joins and queries in the same way that a more time series specific database like KDB+ would. The end result is most likely that you'd be bringing the data from a database into python anyway, probably caching in HDF5 before using using whatever python libs you want to use. You could alternatively bring your code/logic to the data using Q in KDB+, but there will be a learning curve and you will have to code for yourself a lot of functionality that just isn't available in library form. The performance will be a lot better though.
