Most likely answer is just that BOE doesn’t have a strong product design culture. But there is another reason why some may prefer standard: due to the instant payment rules banks are not able to hold inbound payments for screening so if a p

Tangential but when reading books like Lord of the Rings with songs periodically written in the text, I’ve always enjoyed trying to sing the songs out loud and set a melody for them that feels appropriate for the universe. It really makes t

Your comment is past tense - does that mean they’ve stopped doing this? Please, Lord. I had to set my ATV to go to screensaver in a ridiculously short amount of time to preempt the YouTube one.

I love Valve games and I love that they are spending their resources in areas I care about and that feel underserved by other companies, but I don't think the moral comparison is so clear cut. They were also pioneers in micro-transacti

It’s not about the table element, it’s about the API to construct and manipulate that element with a columns and rows interface which is largely superseded by general DOM manipulation.

I feel like I could very easily write this list in the opposite direction. 1. I'll just fix it – as a junior you can get away with not working on something unless you're told to. As a senior you're expected to take ownership.

I was only disputing parent assertion that trust is a solved problem and that banks don't "need" a solution. I haven't the foggiest if stablecoins solve these problems any better. In theory I think all participants havin

I think this may be an insightful comment. It's not for lack of trying that traditional, "database driven" cross-border payments are costly and unreliable. SWIFT have thrown technology at this problem: GPI, Swift Go, ISO20022

I wouldn't really say trust is a solved problem in cross-border transfers. Why only today I've seen transactions where: - an intermediary credited another institution only to realise later they didn't have the money, and have

Can you give more details on this? Why is it that the existing banking system cannot do this kind of foreign remittance? E.g. correspondent banking via Swift? Is it high fees, is it overly burdensome sanctions/AML checks, something els

Maybe it’s a cultural difference but to me that is just normal friendliness and ice-breaking. I’m quite happy for my manager to ask how am I and to have a 2 minute chat about life outside work before diving into the 1:1.

How do you know it’s never lost your money? Do you audit each transaction on your statements?

nit: it’s been called ‘Swift’ for a while, not ‘SWIFT’.

This is frankly the actually difficult part of the process. ISO20022 is just a way to send messages, your actual commercial and settlement arrangements still need to be done. Banks are not required to provide such a service, you will specif

For what it's worth I currently play flat games on Quest 3 via Xbox Cloud Gaming (i.e. streaming) [1], in passthrough mode (i.e. mixed reality with the virtual screen floating in the air) using a PS4 controller paired with the Quest 3,

I've been involved in an attempt to do this at a smaller scale, for a specific discipline: https://maxfacts.uk/ – which aims to be a complete resource for patients and professionals in the oral and maxillofacial field.

It might not necessarily, and I was genuinely wondering what patterns people use, but there are a few things about our monolith in particular that have seemed to make it harder for us: - The monolith has to do all the work of the whole syst

Out of curiosity, what approaches do you use to manage zero-downtime deployments during system operation with a monolith?

We had a spirited debate about this in our application at work recently. Some devs feel (strongly) that having no option to open links on the same page is a user-hostile choice. Other devs feels (also strongly) that users most likely want t

Equally it's acceptable to go down the single-page-application route and just make sure you prioritise performance. A lot of SPAs/"rich" web applications are not slow because of inherent performance disadvantage to that

TypeScript already supports those 'class properties' - and with a few extra features - so you don't need to use Babel for this syntax: you already have it. I'd still rather use hooks though :)

Slate is not an editor so much as a framework for building editors. Which is to say yes, it would be a good basis for an editor for mathematical formulas, but you would have to create the schema yourself (MathML seems like a good starting p
