9 Things You Simply Must Do
-
Friend of mine sent me this great post on Dr. Cloud's 9 principles commonly practiced by successful people. My favorites?
- Principle #2: Pull the Tooth - face your fears...don't put off today what you can do today.
- Principle #4: Do Something - lead yourself...don't wait for someone to tell you what to do.
- Principle #5: Act Like An Ant - simple...work hard...work smart.

Speed up R, Python, and MATLAB - Going Parallel
-
Reduce runtime of Python, R, and MATLAB applications by 85%? Process 10-100X larger datasets? With just a few code changes? Not quite sure how...but something to explore in the future. Their success story on speeding up MATLAB code for Monte Carlo Analysis looks pretty easy of a code change to me. Read their blog for further insights into HPC...

Google Mondrian: web-based code review and storage
-
Online code review that works like a blog/wiki. I wonder...is it possible to create a code review system similar to Mondrian within a source management toolset such as subversion? Seems like most of the backend is there already...would only need to add some front end tools to display the changes being committed and allow comments on those changes.

Finding Duplicate Elements in an Array :: Phil! Gregory
-
Interesting way to find duplicates in an array. Enjoyed the links on the pigeonhold principle and Floyd's cycle-finding algorithm.
- taylortree on 2007-09-03
-
Now, suppose that the array is of length n and only contains positive
integers less than n. We can be sure (by the pigeonhole principle)
that there is at least one duplicate. -
So, how do we find the beginning of the cycle? The easiest approach is to
use Floyd's cycle-finding algorithm. It works roughly like this:
Start at the beginning of the sequence. Keep track of two values (call
them ai and aj). At
each step of the algorithm, move ai one step
along the sequence, but move aj two steps. Stop
when ai = aj.

There are 2 simple questions you must first answer:
1. What is the time-frame in which you need access to your money? (next week? next year? 10 years? retirement?)
2. How much risk and volatility are you comfortable with?
The Answer:
Asset Allocation... not fundamental analysis, not technical analysis, not market
trending, not tips from brokers and analysts ... but straight up asset
allocation.
