I don't think the differences should be overstated. They're mostly "in your face" syntactical differences that make the leap from one to the other seem more difficult than it is. In quite a few ways jumping from C# to C++ is a bigger step.

You can easily learn C# I bet. .NET also has Visual Basic so you might not even have to switch language unless you have a need for that. The main immediate difference is that the syntax is very different as C# is from the C language family. So most keywords has to be learnt from scratch even...

make/cmake language is a filthy dog, I vastly prefer build tools where build specifications are written in general purpose programming languages. That said, it's not really possible to avoid make/cmake in every instance.

In some old code I used to have negative prices in my variables indicate some special condition like "no price yet received". Suffice to say I am never going to do that again. :D

So: Got stopped out of small caps and Monday (which turned out for the better given the general direction of things). Exited some other shorts today. Have minor warrants about to be stopped today (expecting they will be). Taking cover for new ATHs; -20% is enough for me and it makes me remember...

Yepp props to Dozu888. Permabullishness pays off in this market. I exited my shorts today so logically it should turn around and drop now.

Trading is a subject where you have to fill in many blanks on your own in a very complex environment. "someone plz teach me the secret" isn't going to get you anywhere. Suggestion to OP: Start by thinking about on your own what impacts price. Do you think it is always because of a magical...

Well what did you expect with the thread title. :D

Nah, I don't know your tastes. Besides, you're better off asking a teenager or game reviewer who has much more time to play and stay up-to-date.

Depends on the market and your psychology. Most people probably can't handle averaging down (because it takes discipline to avoid resorting to martingale gambling). Edit: Also, that was written 2010 lol. Necro much?

^Impressive post, but you are generalizing more than a little. It's true for some people and some games. And the cowboy coders are actually in decline as most programmers are software engineers by training now. Indeed, the closer to the top you are the greater proportion of developed games are...

True, that is one benefit. Hence the push for game companies to make DLCs on a frequent basis as it makes it far easier to maintain staff. Oh yeah. Some people solve it by not reading gamer posts... if you do you develop a thick skin because if you take it personally it will make you depressed...

There was always a division of slavery I guess. It's an an unfair industry as anywhere else in terms of getting the right references (for the same potential), after which all top companies fight to hire you because you "are in". I left what has become the largest public traded game company in...

Used to. Occasional consultant now.

Nope, this is not what I do. :(

TA is basically a bunch of mathematical transforms (commonly very simple ones) taking a price series as an input to these transforms something that sounds cool to uninitiated people (it's "technical" right) and subsequently used by self-proclaimed experts First, let's just note that you can...

Yeah, XIV was great. It getting annihilated was exactly what it was designed to be. I had a decent algo for it (before EU prohibited me from trading US ETFs and ETNs). If I had to speculate the issuer might be afraid of two things: Closing out at negative because of thin underlying futures...

Sad story sinking your father's estate like this.

Another week low intensity report: Short positions looked really good Thursday evening (my time). Decided to work a bit and eat dinner with GF, after that it was back to shit on vaccine news and Trump non-news the next six hours. So, minor loss this week (2% or so) in total. Reminds me why I...

The point was not economic comparability, rather chances of successfully implementing something like that. China will refuse to pay so at that point you have to sanction them... which is going to be incredibly painful for the economy since they are the world's second superpower.
