Re:Quant Job Interview Questions (2009) [pdf]

If you can come up with a profitable strategy then you can still be hired or just trade yourself. Without this there is no point being a quant. Besides quants still need developers - those integrals will not help building maintainable trading apps.
I would say those questions are for recent graduates who want a junior quant role.

For him "full stack" means "good". E.g. which smartphone do you want? A pink one! It's that kind of IQ and erudition level.
Who would want to tarnish the Oculus brand with Facebook's "social" slot games?
It looks like one of those game pop-up ads - only full-screen. Yeah, I am going to install you crappy client to download your crappy freemium games.

>> In contrast, women tend to engage in especially vigorous mate retention efforts when married to men who have good jobs, high incomes, and devote a lot of time to status striving.
That is unless government steps in to guarantee 50% claim of men's resources regardless of retention efforts.

What? I don't know a single developer out of ~10 across multiple companies that would have to work more than 8 hours plus 1hour lunch break. Outside of London you get 37.5 hours weeks. Hell, I know contractors who work 1-2 days a week from home! But yeah, the money is crap mostly.

You should've laughed to divert any suspicions. When someone makes a racist joke about me I chuckle and wait for my turn. Because I don't want to watch what I am saying all the time. He did not make an attack, he lowered his shield. And then suffered the consequences.

"Melanie took over as the math teacher for the girls, however she did not teach math, she used the subject for female empowerment, talking about "how numbers make you feel," "what does a plus sign smell like" and "is the number seven odd, or just different" while disapproving of men treating math like a problem that needs to be solved, none of these being actual math subjects as math 'is' about solving problems."

Re:Why Isn’t F# the King of .NET?
on Monday September 19, 2016 @08:12AM (#12530715)
Some of reasons reasons:
1) F# team prefers an ivory tower of pure language design to making killer _new_ products like Akka.
2) Meaningful whitespace is a matter of taste and not some golden standard. I like my languages with punctuation marks in them, thanks very much.
3) Total global inference and ultimate succinctness is a matter of taste and not some achievement. I don't program in Brainfuck and ML.

This is totalitarian of course, but from the point of view of survival it's not a wrong move. A lot more guys would settle for overweight/older/single-mom etc. girls if the porn is harder to get. I bet they will ban sex robots when they arrive.
