I believe the commenter is referring to system where you take a giant “git sed” and automate a rather complicated process: 1. break up one huge diff into a set of many (hundreds or thousands) patches, where each individual patch only touches files in a particular subsystem. 2. send all those patches to the appropriate system owners and run the appropriate tests. 3. manage the actual merging of successful patches, as well as communicating to the original author any individual patches that might need more attention e.g. based on patch review feedback.

as you might imagine, it’s probably a pretty involved process to touch thousands of lines of code in a complicated system.

It’s a frustrating essay, because it comes close to having a helpful message. A phrase like “being engaged” seems closer to what he tries to get across, but a lot of young people will probably mostly take from this essay that they need to hustle, which is the kind of useful advice you’ll hear from a high school guidance counselor.

Apparently the overwhelming majority of HN audience doesn't really know how the basics of what a stock exchange functionally does (including myself). I'm starting from here, "Getting to Know the Stock Exchanges"...

Anyway, maybe a good question for someone familar with the technical details - why is there so much volume already flowing through LTSE? Is it just arbitrarily included in some standard broker software application such that it doesn't make a difference to them? Since apparently there is already nearly as much volume traded on LTSE as there is through Nasdaq.

If you can keep your majority a secret, you can avoid the devaluing scenarios. The trick is to use the majority only when you need to, and to avoid detection.

Love the radiation question in your FAQ. It is confusing that you say in the FAQ that you personally change the foam tips weekly, but the product only comes with 3 pairs. What happens after 3 weeks? Will it be economical to buy these en-masse, or will you effectively pay double the price after a year of paying for tips that you have to throw away? It also seems very wasteful to recommend throwing them away every week.
