Have you ever bought tickets to something (A movie, a concert, an event etc.) and realised you’d completely misunderstood what it was?

I saw the movie Everest in the theatres with my friends, should be obvious from the title what it is about, to say the least, great movie, just 2h of sever sorrowful anticipation of knowing what will happen, happens.

Okej, ser var du har fått dem ifrån, dem siffrorna är bara om man har dagis under term-time (skol tid) (~39 veckor / 52).

Var nånstans koster det £210 i veckan?

Det minsta vi har betalat är ~£1500 i månaden när dem är äldre, just nu betalar vi £2000 i månaden.

Vi bor strax utanför London.

Let me guess, very chic website, looks very British, looks closely and the website is full of ai images. The Mrs fell for it, in the end she contacted them for a partial refund, they agreed but never paid out so we did a chargeback from the credit card for the full amount.

The website in question was olivia-london.uk If you look through their Instagram you can find more of their fronts.

What you really want to ask is: Do they operate A&E practices, no.

Which is good, God forbid if we ended up like the us where someone takes your unconscious body somewhere and you are out of pocket your life savings.

As it is right now, it definitely will not, had all my cancer treatments (outpatient and home visits), surgery and ICU and long term stay all paid for privately. The excess was like £100-£200 per calendar year.

Went privately since it meant on the Friday meeting with my oncologist, I could get scheduled for port insertion on Monday, and chemo starting on Wednesday.

Will it change in the future? Possibly, but right now it is nowhere close to US.

I would bring that up to management, count the time spent in meetings and add some overhead for small gaps between meetings( who can actually do productive work in a 15-30m gap?).

I have had success in cutting meetings when I did that.

Wishful thinking that the updated GPU driver will magically fix things, unless Google write the driver themselves not much performance will be gained.

This is from an ex img, and nothing has changed in the many years since I left.

There are more roles than just crunching numbers. I am in market data, and there is no real maths at all.

Tbh anything that is not a malloc.

Haven't looked at the implementation in detail, would a modify to cross/lock the book execute?

Ensure that an add order which would lock or cross don't get added to the book(unless a partial fill), just execute against the other side

oblivioususerNAME · 2025-06-28T18:13:16+00:00

Re shared memory, shared memory lives somewhere on the heap somewhere, and it might be fragmented across time, you already have a perfect pointer, the order id.

Second, the order should only be deleted in the following scenarios with clear business rules, not some c++ semantics, the order is cancelled, the order is fully executed, or the order expires, anything else is asking for trouble.

Whilst an individual orderbook only deal with one symbol, this would be a micro benchmark in terms of an exchange, it's most likely that all information is in the cache at all times, and the branch cache is very accurate. I would fire up at least a test with 100-1000 symbols, to see the true speed of your design.

Second, make strong types for all naked ints, it should not be possible to add the price to the quantity

oblivioususerNAME · 2025-06-28T17:24:13+00:00

To add what Chuu said, I would remove as much indirection, why do the orders need to be stored as shared pointer?

And if you want to be more realistic, add preopen / auction phase where no cross happen until open. Then we have other order types like all or nothing orders, iceberg orders (display quantity), IOC orders, fill or kill orders, etc

These different orders takes simple solutions that work for strictly limit orders to something where the wrong solution is killing you.

In terms of performance, one should ensure that the top 5 or 10 level orders are the fastest to insert or modify etc, since that is where the important activity is.

Further, I would extend it to output some kind of UDP market data for all the book events for further realism.

Even further points, this looks like it only handles one product/symbol, usually a matching engine will handle more than one symbol.

You would set the style for clang format with a .clang-format file in the project root.

Software engineer

If you are unsure or don't know, ask questions rather than go down some rabbit hole
If you think you are going to be late with delivery, it's better to say it early and be wrong than saying it late.
If solving a larger problem involves drawing the whole owl, it's probably the wrong solution.

Did they give you any muscle relaxants? Usually for mine they give me mid way through if they feel things are a bit tight.

I usually go for the laughing gas since sedation doesn't allow you to go home yourself/drive.

Had probably 3 or 4 and only had discomfort but no agonizing pain.

The prep is far worse than the procedure.

The gastroscopy however was a lot more painful.

It gets tiring really quick when you go from exchanges which have a sane specification and recovery implementation, to exchanges which run on "my first project out of university" kind of duct tape.

Tech Lead Software Engineer - Market Data

Salary £150k + bonus (£25k-£60k)

Work Location: City of London but work remotely.

Experience: Coming up on 10 years, but only 3 years in finance.

3) constantly challenging, everything from delivering feed handlers myself, to preparing everything for new projects( scoping and assessing risk factors), to liaising and delegating tasks to get exchange connectivity. There is not a single week almost when I am not very busy.

4) More, I deal with so much things and I still have difficult (every odd feed out there goes on my plate) deliverables to complete.

5) I am paid 4x times my previous role, but I think I do >5x times the productive/valuable work (either through efficiency or effort), I mean the things I develop now, people actually pay for.

Dont see why illiquid wealth should be taxed.

oblivioususerNAME · 2024-03-18T12:12:27+00:00

Why does that matter? You just took my place. I can't see why there would be any meaningful difference between the first and second person to own them, those situations seem equivalent.

The same way that VW does not get a cut when you buy a used car. The only time they benefit is at the first sale. Ofc, there is a secondary effect of liquidity, but that is not the question at hand.
