The Hitchhiker's Guide to Modern JavaScript Tooling - React Kung Fu. A lot of developers coming to JavaScript world attracted by React.js are confused with the tooling used to produce modern JavaScript code.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to Modern JavaScript Tooling - React Kung Fu

Webpack, Babel, ESLint, Mocha, Karma, Grunt… what should I use and which tool is doing what? JavaScript newcomers are often people coming from communities like Ruby and Java where opinionated, full-stack solutions exist. Semantic-Org/Semantic-UI · GitHub.

Soft robots might very well revolutionize surgery and search and rescue operations.

Here’s a Squishy Robotic Hand Grabbing a Pumpkin (and Other Inanimate Objects)

But they’ve already forever changed how we handle seasonal gourds. At least, that’s what you’re looking at in this demo video for a new adaptive gripping platform from Soft Robotics Inc., a Boston-based start up specializing in “rubbery robots” that can be could be used during surgery and various other biomedical applications.

To demonstrate the sort of adroitness that Soft Robotics is after, the company set its modular, interchangeable graspers loose of a range of objects, from the pliant (heads of fresh produce) to the cumbersome (pumpkins, pufferfish). “We thought, ‘What’s the scariest thing you could grab with your bare hands?’” Hook.io.

Swarm.js+React — real-time, offline-ready Holy Grail web apps – Swarm.js.

The state of sync in web apps is that sync sucks.

Swarm.js+React — real-time, offline-ready Holy Grail web apps – Swarm.js

GTalk loses messages inbetween desktop and mobile. Apple iCloud can’t merge back document replicas if those were edited concurrently. Google Docs needs some ungodly chemistry to resync after working offline. These are SNAFUs I personally experienced and I have also heard other folks complaining about Evernote, Skype, Dropbox, you name it. Skipping collaborative apps, these days even a single user needs to sync his/her devices (see continuity). Popular solutions suck for one simple reason: common sense fails us in distributed systems. In 2013, we released the 0.1 version of Swarm, which was, basically, some slap-together per-column last-write-wins solution, like Firebase and many others are using.

Tumblr: Hashing Your Way to Handling 23,000 Blog Requests per Second

At Tumblr, blogs (or Tumblelog) are one of our most highly trafficked faces on the internet. One of the most convenient aspects of tumblelogs is their highly cacheable nature, which is fantastic because of the high views/post ratio the Tumblr network offers our users. That said, it's not entirely trivial to scale out the perimeter proxy tier, let alone the caching tier, necessary for serving all of those requests. Backend Teardown: Muut - ScaleScale.

Value at Risk (VaR) for Algorithmic Trading Risk Management - Part I - QuantStart. Estimating the risk of loss to an algorithmic trading strategy, or portfolio of strategies, is of extreme importance for long-term capital growth.

Many techniques for risk management have been developed for use in institutional settings. One technique in particular, known as Value at Risk or VaR, will be the topic of this article. We will be applying the concept of VaR to a single strategy or a set of strategies in order to help us quantify risk in our trading portfolio. The definition of VaR is as follows: VaR provides an estimate, under a given degree of confidence, of the size of a loss from a portfolio over a given time period. In this instance "portfolio" can refer to a single strategy, a group of strategies, a trader's book, a prop desk, a hedge fund or an entire investment bank. Create a free website.
