  • Nitpick: this would be shorting a future, not a stock.

    Futures are typically “physical” goods like oil, bananas, cheese, maple syrup, etc. there are also other types of futures.

    These commodities futures were originally created in the 1600s in Japan for rice, but they got their mass appeal in Chicago in the late 1800s.

    The trading floors in Chicago are pretty cool and have a ton of interesting history.

  • The steam client has nothing to do with the games it launches.

    Process.Start() works on 32 bit or 64 bit processes…

    They are on 32 bit because they don’t need to upgrade to 64 bit and it’s likely too complex to upgrade.

    Visual Studio, which actually benefits from 64 bit, just recently upgraded because these massive software stacks are difficult to update.

  • Tree shaking is essentially reducing the amount of included code to only the stuff being used.

    Let’s say you have a JAR, DLL, or whatever with 5 functions.

    Your application calls function A which also calls function B of the DLL/jar.

    Tree shaking says “hmm, if I follow the code execution path, I only need 2/5 functions from the DLL/jar” and discards the remaining 3/5 functions.

    This significantly reduces the bundle size (the bundle is what is sent to the browser).

  • It’s harder than it looks, especially for miles and miles.

    They might know how to do it, but people make mistakes.

    Even if they were trying (and I don’t think they did give it 100%) you’d still be finding people who were out of step.

  • You can ask questions in auditorium classes.

    The 300+ student courses typically were high volume courses like intro or freshman courses.

    Second year cuts down significantly in class size, but also depends on the subject.

    3rd and 4th year courses, in my experience, were 30-50 students
