This is a mirror of the original BitMEX trollbox archive that used to be online here. BitMEX disabled their archive after the DDOS attack so I have decided to make my mirror publicly available.
Well now, a few days after I made this mirror available to the public, the original archive from BitMEX is online again. But since it is still limited (neutered to the last few hundred messages) I will keep my FULL mirror alive.

[2016-02-16 19:32:37] sleger : maybe you're trying to read a csv file line by line... [2016-02-16 19:32:52] sleger : most of python is actually C code [2016-02-16 19:33:10] Tulip_stefan : reading a simple CSV line by line isn't actually slower than pandas in some cases. [2016-02-16 19:33:29] justinlooking : python is my fav glue by a mile [2016-02-16 19:34:19] laisee : python - swiss army knife of languages [2016-02-16 19:34:35] BitMEX_Sam : I like it too, but I wish it had stronger typing [2016-02-16 19:35:07] Tulip_stefan : Anyway, i find that for many things, even those that aren't really focused on performance, i still hit python's performance limits because i attempt to throw too much data against it and it becomes more attractive to rewrite it in C++. [2016-02-16 19:35:11] BitMEX_Sam : I'm spoiled with the compile-time assertions we get with Flow in JS [2016-02-16 19:35:18] Tulip_stefan : and yeah, fixed typing. [2016-02-16 19:35:42] BitMEX_Sam : It's too bad about JS's lack of proper number types, because otherwise it can actually be really fast compared to Python [2016-02-16 19:35:46] laisee : BitMEX_Sam: prolly a library just for that purpose(stronger types) [2016-02-16 19:35:56] Tulip_stefan : I feel like I'm missing RAII more than fixed typing, but it's close. [2016-02-16 19:36:56] justinlooking : BitMEX_Sam: reckon fill sounds could be patched via chrome inspector? [2016-02-16 19:37:10] sleger : Tulip_stefan: if you're hitting python limit by throwing bitcoin data at it you're doing something wrong, you're not hitting "python" limit [2016-02-16 19:38:49] Tulip_stefan : When my data takes 3 minutes to read using the array module, i feel like i've hit python's limits yeah. [2016-02-16 19:39:49] sleger : so we're back to reading data from file [2016-02-16 19:40:00] sleger : which can be very slow when not done right indeed [2016-02-16 19:41:01] Tulip_stefan : i tried the array module, panda's, numpy memory mapped files, csv's. Reading data from disk using array and then converting it into plain arrays was the fastest [2016-02-16 19:41:21] rapidtrades : f man, programming sounds hard [2016-02-16 19:41:54] j8 : its hard if you make it hard [2016-02-16 19:41:56] Tulip_stefan : numpy arrays are significantly slower than python array if you're actuallty doing python stuff with them, rather than calling large numpy functions on them. [2016-02-16 19:42:02] sleger : panda or numpy should work fine, whats important is to load a decent amount of data then process then repeat [2016-02-16 19:42:10] tradedesk : programming is as hard as learning english [2016-02-16 19:42:27] laisee : Tulip_stefan: python VM doesn't scale too well. [2016-02-16 19:43:14] j8 : Tulip_stefan: how much data are you loading? and how much ram [2016-02-16 19:43:51] Tulip_stefan : that was a year ago but i think it was about 800MB on disk in memory mapped format. [2016-02-16 19:44:19] j8 : 3 minutes seems crazy then [2016-02-16 19:44:41] BitMEX_Sam : justinlooking: Was just thinking about it, I don't think it's at all easy to do [2016-02-16 19:45:55] BitMEX_Sam : We could probably put something in the preferences page that lets you upload a sound file to your local indexedDB, then patch out the sound if it's been overridden [2016-02-16 19:46:04] BitMEX_Sam : Would take some doing though - unfortunately lots of high priority features right now [2016-02-16 19:46:49] BitMEX_Sam : I just put the idea in our issue tracker. [2016-02-16 19:46:59] Tulip_stefan : i benchmarked a few parts of my program after i ported it to C++ and it different components where about 80-120 faster than the python implementation which i spent much time optimizing. [2016-02-16 19:47:56] justinlooking : Sam: i see, thanks. it's not worth implementing just for me... and maybe "loud mode" checkbox is simpler :P [2016-02-16 19:50:01] Tulip_stefan : or maybe my python skills just suck, that's another possible explanation :P [2016-02-16 19:50:25] tscha : Tulip_stefan: have you checked out pypy? [2016-02-16 19:51:02] Tulip_stefan : i know it exists but i haven't managed to get it to run on windows yet. [2016-02-16 19:51:04] sleger : sounds like the issue is somewhere else [2016-02-16 19:51:15] sleger : it shouldnt be that big of a difference no matter what [2016-02-16 19:51:40] sleger : maybe you were running it inside some IDE in debug mode that would make sense then [2016-02-16 19:52:27] Tulip_stefan : I used IDLE as my IDE back them. [2016-02-16 19:52:48] sleger : any performance test should be ran outside any IDE [2016-02-16 19:53:08] sleger : command line > python3 yourcode.py [2016-02-16 19:53:11] tscha : Tulip_stefan: I saw benchmarks with c++ outperforming cpython by around 100x on certain algos, with pypy the factor was only a fraction [2016-02-16 19:56:15] Tulip_stefan : yeah that sounds about right from what i heard. [2016-02-16 19:57:17] tscha : but then again, for this stuff you should just use another language I guess [2016-02-16 19:58:35] rapidtrades : like French? [2016-02-16 19:59:08] sleger : French Trump American [2016-02-16 19:59:10] Tulip_stefan : i learned that the hard way. Now i even have my own openGL plotting library :P [2016-02-16 20:01:20] rapidtrades : u guys sold ur arbs yet? or holding for premium? [2016-02-16 20:10:22] rapidtrades : guys? [2016-02-16 20:10:30] rapidtrades : any guys here? [2016-02-16 20:13:01] laisee : only fellas [2016-02-16 20:13:03] tradedesk : loginalways ;-) [2016-02-16 20:13:15] tradedesk : oops, pasted my password in the chat [2016-02-16 20:13:26] laisee : thanks! [2016-02-16 20:14:03] BitMEX_Sam : If you're not kidding, reset immediately even if you're using 2FA [2016-02-16 20:14:09] BitMEX_Sam : And if you're not using 2FA... do so [2016-02-16 20:14:29] messiaen8844 : dammn, that's my password too!!! [2016-02-16 20:14:29] tradedesk : lol sam.. trollbox rings a bell? [2016-02-16 20:14:38] messiaen8844 : you hax0r [2016-02-16 20:15:06] rapidtrades : WHO STOLE MY UNDERWEAR [2016-02-16 20:15:18] tradedesk : yes, i was just trying out my new metasploit install, how did you know? [2016-02-16 20:15:37] tscha : you can never be sure around here [2016-02-16 20:16:04] BitMEX_Sam : Hahah [2016-02-16 20:16:07] BitMEX_Sam : Just making sure. [2016-02-16 20:16:47] tscha : rapidtrade's password is godblessamerica [2016-02-16 20:16:59] tradedesk : "godblessamerica - and only america" [2016-02-16 20:17:06] tscha : mine is hunter2 by the way [2016-02-16 20:17:14] messiaen8844 : you should make a default password... user changes after first login, would be easier for us [2016-02-16 20:17:19] messiaen8844 : 1-click sign up [2016-02-16 20:17:28] tradedesk : login only by username [2016-02-16 20:17:37] messiaen8844 : this 2FA just makes it more difficult [2016-02-16 20:17:42] rapidtrades : sleger's passoword is the generous muslim [2016-02-16 20:17:55] habibi : random login would better feature [2016-02-16 20:18:12] tscha : yeah, no password sounds good. And show the IP when you hover over chat name [2016-02-16 20:18:21] BitMEX_Sam : At some point in the near future we'll have a sort of demo feature where it creates an acct for you on Testnet with some fake cash to play with [2016-02-16 20:18:40] BitMEX_Sam : I think Primedice probably does it best tbh [2016-02-16 20:19:01] BitMEX_Sam : I know you guys are mostly kidding but we're always thinking about reducing friction [2016-02-16 20:19:33] rapidtrades : LUBE [2016-02-16 20:19:55] laisee : LUBEDUP [2016-02-16 20:20:21] messiaen8844 : IF_EQUAL LUBE OP_HASH [2016-02-16 20:20:39] BitMEX_Sam : :beer: [2016-02-16 20:21:18] rapidtrades : BitMEX_Sam: how many humans trade here on a regular basis? like at least 2-3 trades per week [2016-02-16 20:21:25] BitMEX_Sam : At least [2016-02-16 20:21:27] BitMEX_Sam : Maybe more [2016-02-16 20:21:37] habibi : that was condition for u Sam to check :D [2016-02-16 20:21:50] tscha : There are some sport betting sites where you don't even have to have an account, just send money to a btc address and get profit returned (or not) [2016-02-16 20:22:08] BitMEX_Sam : Actually re: numbers of regular traders, we're not releasing those numbers at this time [2016-02-16 20:22:17] BitMEX_Sam : But you can get a pretty good idea with the connected count above [2016-02-16 20:22:36] BitMEX_Sam : tscha: Yeah. Questionable legality on a lot of those [2016-02-16 20:22:42] tscha : same [2016-02-16 20:22:52] rapidtrades : do we really have 183 bots running? or is it double counting humans in those [2016-02-16 20:23:02] BitMEX_Sam : rapidtrades: Nope, they're separate counts [2016-02-16 20:23:12] BitMEX_Sam : But it does count bots that aren't submitting orders, but are perhaps just reading live data [2016-02-16 20:23:29] rapidtrades : still seeems a lot [2016-02-16 20:23:46] tscha : BitMEX_Sam: ws and REST separate too? or grouped by IP? [2016-02-16 20:23:52] BitMEX_Sam : A large number of users never chat, and it seems lots of them just leave the window open. [2016-02-16 20:24:08] BitMEX_Sam : tscha: We count it by how many active WS conns are open on the browser endpoint and the API endpoint, which are very slightly different [2016-02-16 20:24:16] rapidtrades : can u close it? or just minimize? [2016-02-16 20:24:29] BitMEX_Sam : rapidtrades: If you close it the count will go down, if you minimize it will stay [2016-02-16 20:24:59] rapidtrades : i see no close [2016-02-16 20:25:11] BitMEX_Sam : But we only send an updated count every 30s [2016-02-16 20:25:40] tscha : rapidtrades: see the X on the right upper side? [2016-02-16 20:25:58] rapidtrades : no, my fonts are weird [2016-02-16 20:26:07] BitMEX_Sam : What are you trying to close? [2016-02-16 20:26:13] tscha : his browser window I think [2016-02-16 20:26:15] rapidtrades : have some script blocking things on [2016-02-16 20:26:15] tscha : lol [2016-02-16 20:26:34] justinlooking : u still trading on a kindle paperwhite rapid? [2016-02-16 20:27:07] tscha : can we implement old-school trades here sam? like, phone calls?
