I've stuck on topic from my very first post in this thread and you're in favor of talking about C# and using stackoverflow as a popularity metric?...
Can't wait for someone to hijack this thread and start talking about the merits of C# from nowhere. Weak aspects... Python: Fragmented...
;) What's wrong with Fortran? Look, I disagree with most of what you say but at least you try to explain yourself, so I just want to end our...
I think he mistook you for me, although I didn't mention anything about C/C++ being superior either - think he mistook me for the threadstarter of...
Sorry, but again, you leave everyone highly doubtful of your analytical abilities. Either that or you just like making things up. Most of the SO...
You claim that you're not a programmer, then what are you in, sales and service? Because analytical thinking is clearly not your strong suit....
@vicirek: Thanks for your words of support. It's just a pity that a thread with great potential got ruined by some dude who has too much time...
I think you're mistaking me for another poster (I'm not the threadstarter?) - if you read my quoted text, I did write in favor of System.IO over...
Guys, I think it is rather rude that you regress back to the whole C/C++ vs C# thing without addressing what I said. If you don't agree, at least...
Yes. ...This is like a person who doesn't know how to sew trying to become the next Balmain or Saint Laurent. There are just as many talented,...
You asked for a "quant shop" and I named one: Then you turn around saying "Gelber IS" (presumably a "quant prop shop" now): And now you're...
1) I still don't know what Gelber is, but my guess is that it's very far from my idea of a "quant shop". 2) I didn't see any mention of prop...
Sorry, but this is incorrect. If it was true, you wouldn't have some of the very best in places such as Purchase, Stamford, Philadelphia, Sydney,...
What's Gelber? :confused: First Quadrant. I'm not too sure about the question. Are you looking purely to network or to find employment? If...
Thanks. Yes, I'm aware of those cases, except I generally classify valuation and derivatives pricing as sell-side activity. I understand there are...
I see. I don't really buy into the GPGPU paradigm. I could see uses for it in sell-side pricing, but I haven't found use for it in buy-side...
I can understand if this was C# vs Java, but why are we having a language war between C++ and C#? There are several nice features about C++,...
I think you guys misunderstood - 2rosy wasn't making such a sweeping generalization. The right point to take away from his post is that a...
Depends on what you mean by "best", which relates mostly to what you're planning to do with the compiled code. For your execution boxes, you're...
1. RAM is very fungible. If matching RAM with the same model and specs is a concern, sticks that I've bought 2 years ago are still widely...
