Possibly - If you are optimizing for time that is.

But what if you are optimizing for enjoyment?

When I was single, no kids, I couldn't do 60 hours a week. Just not possible for me to keep focusing, keep writing good code.

I'm not sure it is possible, how does the model predict if there will be a recession in 2025, for example?

They can model individual risk pretty well I imagine. But can they model systemic risk?

To push that point further, we had it easy in 2008 because governments used QE to push more money into the economy and prop up banks, but what if they can't grab that free lunch next time?

That's a good hedge bet for whoever takes it.

Cool - you could create a bash alias called xsv for that.

adele11 | 6 years ago | on: Do all programming languages converge to Lisp?

All programming languages have tree representations of their syntax, so are kind of a 'lisp' under the hood. However other languages typically don't allow you to get under the skin of the compiler in the way macros do to manipulate those trees. Therefore I don't think all programming languages converge to lisp (although lisp can converge to other programming languages!).

Even easier don't think about the ratio! Think about the Fibonacci sequence: 0 1 1 2 3 5 8 13 etc. Then you are doing just addition.
