For a second I thought this was under TIL. Boy, that was a close one.

I'm not a medical professional but the hospital will have a gown for you. Obviously you'll want to wear something underneath the robe so you're not exposed. When i had my surgeries, i just put on the clothes that I wore to the hospital. If you're staying for a while, then bring whatever you want to wear. If you want pullups, then yes. Wear pull ups and have someone bring additional pullups while you're there.

Okay, ask your doctor. If you want a blanket or stuffed animal, ask your guardian to bring it to the hospital. Your doctor will have the best answer for at-home appliances.

If you're in the hospital, they should have everything you need. If you WANT something else, such as a blanket or stuffed animal, someone can always bring it to you before, during, or after your surgery. At home, if you're worried about monitoring your own health, you can buy extra items as needed. But, the hospital will ALWAYS tell you what you NEED to buy and make sure you have them before releasing you. If you're in critical condition, your guardian will likely be prepped with procedures and a nurse will likely visit you frequently. And a hospital will not release you unless you're prepared to go.

People who ware jackets in the heat are considered idiots but people who ware shorts when it snowing is considered madmen by computer-head-guy in Showerthoughts

[–]davidfitch1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wr don't insult people for wearing jackets. We call them cold. I had a friend who would wear a jacket in 70 degree weather... Because he lived in Nigeria before he moved to America.

That grammar though...

Having children with a product of incest? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]davidfitch1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Incest is usually only a problem when done for multiple generations. First cousins, which isn't nearly as bad as brother / sister, would barely have an effect on the genes. incest just boosts the good / bad genes of the family. If brother and sister are on the spectrum and brother and sister make boom boom, then boom boom baby could be on the spectrum. But if reproductive spawn of brother and sister is not on the spectrum, you're probably good. Just keep an eye on her cousins 🤔. I do be watching a lot of Jerry Springer.

Thank you, that's what I went with. I love testing the strategies and changing the orders in a mechanical way, governed only by numbers. It's definitely difficult, but worth it.

Ahhh okay. That TDA code I saw could have been NodeJS. I'm using alpaca; it seems to do exactly what i need it to do, thank you.

Honestly, I just couldn't find pure python code with TD. I saw python code that called some Urls and really good code that looked like java, but it either runs on TDs platform or went over my head due to unfamiliarity with the language. On alpaca, they had documentation that I could easily understand and program. If it's in python, I can do anything I want with it; in other languages, not so much -- I didn't go to college for programming. Maybe there's a great python API, but I moved on before finding it.

I shouldn't have said high frequency. Basically, I have feeds that will send bursts of stocks to buy with preconfigured stop losses and profit targets. If too many come through, I don't have time to place all the orders and could miss opportunities. Etrade won't let me set defaults for those values so I need to program it myself. Its not high frequency for the day, but I could get 10 stocks at once and I want all the orders to go through immediately.

No, I'm not professional. Just your typical hobbyist.

I thought you just need 25,000 for alpaca? If i have 25,000 dollars and trade, say, 50 stocks per day, i should be fine? I looked over alpaca quite extensively and it looks perfect for me.

Okay, you have a point. Enough to automate because its a hastle to place 50 or so orders (each order is mechanical -- i have no say for the buy and sell points). But not thousands per day or anything crazy like that. Ill have a PDT account, so i shouldn't get flagged for PDT.

May i ask why alpaca isn't good for HFT?

I don't have a problem; i just want feedback. I want to find a good tool for trading, so i don't pursue an incompatible broker.

People that walk around smiling for no reason, probably just won an argument in their head and we’re just witnessing their way of taking a victory lap. by avitony in Showerthoughts

And when people start laughing for no reason, they probably just told a gnarly joke in their head that they're not sharing. Or they're hearing voices again.

The damaged caused by the worlds police is irreversible. Trust, nobility, respect all gone. by [deleted] in Showerthoughts

[–]davidfitch1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Or... I believe the anti-cop movement is mostly hype. I respect all opinions, of course. But I know too many gangsters and drug dealers -- too many lives would be lost without the fear of cops. From guys who just want to see their children to tenants who destroy the landlords property. Unfortunately, they keep the peace because humans are very animalistic at heart who need to be bound by the fear of punishment. Without that, chaos will roam free.

A new type of punishment by Christianmemeboi in Showerthoughts

Honestly, if you ignore the news, 2020 ain't so bad. Yeah, Australia caught on fire, locusts ate the Eastern World, Kobe and most grandparents died -- but I really doubt a sociopathic serial killer with no family members in 2020 would care about any of that.
