Walmart, being Walmart which isnвЂ™t unlike being Costco or any other major supermarket of sorts where people buy food, would want to limit their exposure to shocks in the market regardless of whatвЂ™s causing the shocks.

Anything can affect the price, up to and including cartels in Mexico demanding protection money from Avocado farmers recently, but pests, weather, soil problems, or whatever might limit the supply and lead to price increases. This is often the case with avocados which might sell for $0.50 a piece in one place or up to $3 a piece in another.

But if youвЂ™re able to get them for $20 a case right now, itвЂ™s because that store was able to get them for a good price, and that means somewhere upstream in the supply chain, a futures contract was exchanged which made that possible by locking in the purchase price in advance for this batch of tomatoes. Why is any place selling them for $40 a case? I honestly couldnвЂ™t tell you other than there was probably a problem somewhere with the tomato crop. In San Francisco, depending on where you go right now, tomatoes might be $20 a case or they might be $40 a case. In some ways it's impressive that they were doing server side Javascript at least 5 years before nodeJS but whole approach seems like a byproduct of age of mainframes. As well the version of Javascript was restricted from using things like timers or callbacks since that could make rendering stall. This caused a lot of difficulties since any real time elements needed to be rendered in a totally different way.

The front-end is fully rendered server side (meaning every click requires a full round trip to Bloombergs servers) in Javascript using spidermonkey. The bit that really amazed me was the way the front end is implemented. In particular the feeds are designed to be extremely fast with a few custom built high performance databases built to serve this.

However the more modern code is in C/C++ and designed heavily with latency in mind. For one thing the codebase is ancient there are still some Fortran bits that in use today. Having worked at Bloomberg I really wish there was more content published about how it's implemented because it pretty astonishing in both good and bad ways.
