"hedge fund" implies that the fund IS a hedge (presumably against other assets one might own). Except that in and of itself the fund cannot hedge you without knowing what you own.
Nowadays, everything is called a "hedge fund" incorrectly - they should be called "hedged fund" as per the original term. They provide diversification and hopefully some return above CPI, or some well-defined risk-adjusted return.
By the way, "hedging against volatility" doesn't mean much. Most of those funds are short volatility.
I think ranking programming languages is dubious in general but this goes to another level.
It's unfortunately the case with tough district/city people with criminal record. Once you live in violence for more than a couple weeks, and have to assume physical threat and retaliate, I'm pretty sure it changes you somewhat fundamentally, and unfortunately those people rarely have the proper support to adjust to civil duties.
By rearranging existing words on the grid you can map new words including the "target" word. It's actually pretty hard I find...

- for ansible on reasonably large projects (a dozen of roles) it was never a problem ; you have to understand how the project has been structured and be able to use grep and find though
- when I was playing around with os161 I don't remember it being an issue. Although for this particular case I did use the cscope vim plugin which is helpful to navigate through the codebase (there are equivalents for various languages). Not sure if os161 would qualify as "large codebase" but it's a bunch of files in a bunch of folders.
But vim is ubiquitous which is a huge plus when you are like me always connected remotely on a different machine. Once I learned a few shortcuts I never went back (and never dug into the tool itself actually, I can't even run a macro ; I'm still faster than most people I know with an IDE).
The only thing I was impressed with is I think phpstorm, watching a laravel dev crafting an SQL query. If I ever get serious about developping I would look into this kind of things (not just for SQL but also framework and module functions), especially if I can get vim movers, and a screen that isn't bloated. VSCode displays like 15 things and I'm only interested in 1 of them 99% of the time for example.
I tried to install plugins but there is always something that fails somehow. Nvim distributions don't install and run out of the box for the most part, I get weird errors regarding lua or something and just give up. As for VSCode I wrote my first python project using it a couple weeks ago (I'm not a developper) and it's alright but a few things annoy me, like the integrated terminal and some things getting in my way.
At the end of the day, each of us should chose whatever we feel comfortable with. I spent maybe 2 hours in my life learning vim movers and never looked back. I don't even use tmux or anything, just open 1 or 2 terminal windows and alt+tab between them, with the occasional :split or :vsplit command.
> The iPod Classic could do 36 hours of playback so I wonder why this can only manage 24 hours.
It says a full day, not 24 hours (so probably 8-12 hours).
I had an archos with 80Gb mechanical hdd in early/mid 2000s that I believe lasted more than that. Sadly it died (went into a washing machine) with a lot of my favorite music inside it, including some dj sets that I can't seem to find anymore (not sure of who played and what year...). It was an amazing piece of hardware, better than (unmodified) ipod of 8Gb at the time.
- actually write a story relevant to the lesson learned, and not make up some fable that takes 1/3 of the article before even starting to make a point - not have any sort of popups asking me to subscribe or login - not have any sort of annoying javascript animation that gets in the way of reading the article
it's rare enough to be noted.
That is, if and when Hamas is eradicated, which is a big if. A war with Iran isn't out of the question. Thing is Hamas represents like 35% of votes ? It's both a lot and very little. Maybe 10% of those 35% would actually be ok to take an assault weapon and resist. Meaning the vast majority would probably be ok to negotiate even a mediocre deal but owning their land and borders ? Can we even make a forecast like this ?
Edit : Bottom line, Palestinians will obviously and sadly be in a terrible position to negotiate, if and when that happens...
