    Thoughts on Activision?

    Pitfall was a great game! Wait... thoughts about the deal w/ MSFT? No.

    Embed arbitrary files into a PDF via "unoconv"

    This is the reason. Duh!

    Embed arbitrary files into a PDF via "unoconv"

    It's not open-source though. Or at least, maybe it's not... the jury seems to be out on that. And, I need to minimize my legal expenses. Just having some fun :D Honestly, if I had my complete druthers I would prefer text2pdf. A utf-8/encoding fix (w.r.t. the backtick problem) would be nice...

    Embed arbitrary files into a PDF via "unoconv"

    I noticed this and I like that you've bundled all the text. This eliminates the need to piece together the script manually. From a pedagogic perspective it may detract a little but I don't want to split hairs. However, I don't see how a reader couldn't follow the original post and not simply...

    [call for action] IB is forcing 2FA

    You mean, on your phone? Or via the white 2FA plastic card? I'm asking because I've noticed some strange GUI problems with the gateway where it fails to repaint or something along those lines and it only appears as if there's a problem. I trust you've confirmed that the networking aspect isn't...

    Embed arbitrary files into a PDF via "unoconv"

    I'll still catch myself using backquotes sometimes but I like $() better too. Of course, all this has me curious, lol. I was seeing extraneous new lines; not smart quotes. So I tried a few more viewers; the simpler ones don't support copy/paste but I digress. What I noticed is that evince...

    Long-scalping equity options against time decay and market drift

    :thumbsup: No one's questioning your veracity. We're just looking for a "free lunch" ;) Seriously... kudos to you! Enjoy the proprietary IP you've created :fistbump:

    Long-scalping equity options against time decay and market drift

    Post source code if you can! Lol You know, like I do. Hell... you can copy and paste my content directly! We actually have to think about what you're doing and take wild, barely educated, guesses :(

    Long-scalping equity options against time decay and market drift

    You know des, I'm not saying I don't believe you... because I do 100%. But with all due respect, it would really help if you gave precise details of the exact trade and its thesis. After all, I'm a covert agent, and I need to bring something back to my clandestine organization. Otherwise... I'm...

    Technical Smart vs Bussiness Smart in Programmers

    ...in my 35 years of experience I can say with certainty that managing expectations is extremely difficult. For example, I wasn't expecting to see this: Error: Unable to connect to MySQL and select database. MySQL reported: Access denied for user 'mbunea_fbb2'@'localhost' to database...

    Embed arbitrary files into a PDF via "unoconv"

    However, I just tried the analog of the trick by generating a .shar of demo.py (instead of using the tiny custom shell script I present) and guess what... it didn't work! $ ./test.shar ./test.shar: 14: ./test.shar: name: not found ./test.shar: 17: ./test.shar: 266: not found ./test.shar: 59...

    Tool to group stock based on correlation ?

    Close, but no cigar? Looks like you might have to take "the easy way" ;)

    Long-scalping equity options against time decay and market drift

    My BP is about 5x the account equity right now... how much room you think there is for improvement there? That is, without taking advantage of any glitchs in PM/TIMS :sneaky:

    Embed arbitrary files into a PDF via "unoconv"

    This is a shame and I'm guessing it has something to do with University of Nottingham policy. I can understand the university wanting to get ROI for their human capital. But, preventing the distribution of a 500 line program that's over 25 years old just sounds crazy. It seems long overdue they...
