mywrathacademia··on Chicken Scheme 6.0
Thanks. I’ll look into that. What about SICP solutions that work with MIT Scheme? That’s the implementation of Scheme used in SICP. Also, what are the differences between the major Scheme implementations?

Are there official solutions/answers to SICP?

mywrathacademia··on Sleep apnea pill shows striking success in large clinical trial
Sounds like a side effect of cpap is addiction? Does it cure sleep apnea or do you have to use it forever?

mywrathacademia··on Live facial recognition cameras may become 'commonplace' as police use soars
Storing video footage from weeks back does not seem feasible. I assume footage would get overwritten after a specific time period.

mywrathacademia··on Why does the Python tutorial read like it was written by an ESL author?
The official python tutorial is poorly written and hard to understand in several places. How is someone new to the language supposed to learn a language when the official documentation is in such a state?
mywrathacademia··on Show HN: Explore doctors' disciplinary history
Open sourcing this would be a great idea and a lot of people would happily contribute, it already looks great. The biggest secret is that most doctors do more harm than good when a patient has anything worse than a cold. The psychopaths who couldn't make it as CEOs or serial killers end up becoming doctors, in charge of people's health.
mywrathacademia··on Show HN: Explore doctors' disciplinary history
With all the data protection laws doctors over there use as a shield, would it even be possible?
mywrathacademia··on I'm a very slow thinker (2016)
Hey _l4jh, apologies for being off-topic but I came across your comment in this post https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27824447 but there was no way for me to reply there. Did you ever find an answer to what was causing your chest pain? And if you did were you able to treat it completely? I'm having the same symptoms you had, mostly a sore kind of pain in the centre of my chest, sometimes all over the surface of my stomach too.
mywrathacademia··on GitHub isn't fun anymore
I've always held the same view, I call it "companies taking the easy way out". Another recent example is Disney making the lion cast in The Lion King 2019 live action movie black. What a completely disingenuous statement. Disney could actually fund and make their first black male lead in a Disney movie, which would actually contribute significantly in addressing systematic racism in at least the movie/animation industry. Instead Disney chose to massage their egos so that whenever they get called out for the lack of black characters in leading Disney roles they can say but we had an all black cast for the lions in The Lion King.
mywrathacademia··on For Sale: A Massive, Obsessive and Probably Obsolete VHS Boxing Archive
I've always wondered if in future an archive like this can be used to train a machine learning powered cyborg boxer or even a robot boxer. This could be one of the incentives for preserving this archive. Surely with AI set to replace a lot of workers, boxers will also be affected
mywrathacademia··on Women: Learn to Program This Summer
Isn't it obvious? Poor people. The politically favored are women but by opening this to all women you only help women who are already privileged not poor women living in ghettos or from other poor backgrounds
mywrathacademia··on Women: Learn to Program This Summer
This is an excellent comment. As it stands only the already privileged will be accepted into the program which I find to be disgusting. At least the financial status of applicants should be taken into account.
mywrathacademia··on In a study of senior CS majors, U.S. students are tops in skills
Thinking of the problem as a nested for loop it's intuitive to see how you get 1000 combinations without the numbers being unique but I dont see how to get 720 combinations as the answer when each digit is different. Can you explain where 720 combinations comes from in the context I mentioned?

mywrathacademia··on Introduction to Algotrading (2011) [pdf]
Thanks for mentioning HFT is not the same as algorithmic trading. Actually, I don't mind learning Japanese at all so may be you have some advice on what skills are needed in that part of the world to land a trading job as well as where to look? Also, is it just international banks that hire HFT traders?
mywrathacademia··on Introduction to Algotrading (2011) [pdf]
That's good to know. What kind of companies hire HFT traders in those parts of the world you mentioned?
mywrathacademia··on Introduction to Algotrading (2011) [pdf]
That sounds interesting. Its exactly the kind problem solving I enjoy. You also gave some good advice on what prerequsites are needed to work as a HFT trader. Is HFT the same as algorithmic trading? If not what are the differences?
mywrathacademia··on Introduction to Algotrading (2011) [pdf]
How would someone who enjoys algorithms but without a trading background get into the Tokyo HFT/Algorithmic trading industry? For example, do I need to be fluent in Japanese?
mywrathacademia··on Introduction to Algotrading (2011) [pdf]
I've always wondered what an algorithmic trader actually does. Does an algorithmic trader get to write algorithms like the job title suggests?

mywrathacademia··on Practical Deep Learning for Coders 2019
Can the exercises in the fast.ai deep learning course be done in another language other than python? And how much time in weeks should it take to complete the course? If my laptop doesn't have a GPU, can I still do all exercises?
