jQuery adds ~87 KB that delays page rendering. Learn why it's slow, how it compares to vanilla JS and modern alternatives, and what changed in jQuery 4.

I've been thinking about this for a while. AI can now write functions, explain code, refactor projects, generate tests, and even solve many programming problems better than many junior developers. I've also noticed that Stack Overflow seems far less active than it used to be because many developers now ask AI instead. This made me wonder: Is learning algorithms still as important as it used to be? I'm not talking about memorizing LeetCode solutions for interviews. I mean actually spending months studying data structures and algorithms. If AI can generate efficient implementations, explain the complexity, and even optimize code, where is the real value in deeply learning algorithms today? Do experienced engineers still think it's essential, or is understanding the concepts enough while letting AI handle the implementation? I'm curious to hear opinions from people working in the industry. submitted by /u/Senior_Note_6956 [link] [Kommentare]

Like many people, I've been watching STRC struggle to hold its $100 level. I believe the mechanism intended to drive the price back to $100 has a design flaw that's causing it to fail to return to $100 target. There are two types of people in the STRC market — short term dividend arbitragers, and longer-term holders. The problem is that dividend arbitragers have been driving up supply of STRC to levels higher than the longer-term holders can consume. Each time an ex-dividend date occurs, dividend arbitragers buy STRC, hold it until the ex-dividend date, and sell it, with the aim of selling for price difference less than the amount they gain from collecting the dividend. They can do this with leverage using their broker's margin, and it has also been possible to double up on monthly dividends by also doing the same trade on SATA (another preferred stock much like STRC) as their ex-dividend dates are different. Unlike a normal stock, STRC issues new shares directly to buyers at the $100 level, so these dividend arbitragers are causing new shares to be issued in large numbers as they buy in. When they sell on the ex-dividend day, the extra share issuance becomes too much for longer-term buyers to absorb, so the price drives down. Because new shares are issued at $100, the price never goes over $100, and so there's no market mechanism to destroy demand from arbitragers — they can always buy at $100 as much as they like. In a normal stock, arbitragers would push up the price, making the arb unprofitable, but this doesn't occur in STRC. Many of these dividend arbitragers will be failing to sell at a profitable price, so they'll be trapped holding shares and trying to sell into buyers entering for the next ex-dividend date to get out of their losing trade. These trapped dividend arb traders make it even harder for the price to return to $100. The other problem is, Strategy's mechanism for pushing the market back to $100 is likely to make this worse. They can increase the dividend amount to incentivise buyers, but increasing the dividend may incentivise dividend arbitragers more than long-term buyers, as a larger dividend is more appealing and easier to arb, because of the larger spread between $100 and the sale price. The recent drop in BTC to ~$60k has likely hit sentiment amongst longer-term holders, leading to reduced demand to absorb the excess supply caused by dividend arbitragers triggering ATM issuance of shares. The current design has the effect of issuing more STRC than the market can bear. Increasing the yield may help temporarily, but as the price returns to $100, dividend arbers are likely to drive up supply again until the $100 level cannot be maintained. I think Strategy needs to: Change the issuance policy to not issue at $100, but at a higher level. This will make dividend arbing harder, as people will be buying high and selling low, making the arb less likely to be profitable. At the moment buyers can always buy at

Now that Binance didnt got its MICA license on time, its europeans users have to move to other exchanges before 1 July. Every exchange's name on the table has an hyperlink towards the authority of financial markets of France where you can check where and when they got the license. If you are not already on any of theses exchange I would suggest one of top 2, Kraken or coinbase. And if you move the funds, remember to convert everythng to one token (dont use USDT and chose one that is cheap on gas), test a very little transfer first( ALWAYS DO THIS FIRST) and then transfer evverything and then convert it to what you had but now on the new exchange.
