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 a…

I have a harness for Claude Code "hooks" ( https://code.claude.com/docs/en/hooks ) which in my case execute a Go tool in a separate project which runs changes made by claude throug…

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 the…

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…

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 s…

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element, it’s about the API to construct and manipulate that element with a columns and rows interface which is largely superseded by general DOM manipulat…

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. A…

From the linked page: > In designing the digital ID scheme, the government will ensure that it works for those who aren’t able to use a smartphone, with inclusion at the heart of i…

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. …

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 techno…

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 reali…

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 i…

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 …

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…

Works great. Now just make it sync with JIRA too.

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 t…

Not my experience at all. Was able to do latency-sensitive gaming like VR gaming from a Shadow PC 200 miles away. Have happily streamed PC games to my phone whilst out and about on…

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 professional…

> For instance, why is there no way to minimize to desktop? There is I think. Something like Cmd+F3? I use this a lot.

The author does say they have a wife. But I know what you mean – I took my Quest to my sister's over Christmas and there were many near-misses with a two-year old not understanding…

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…

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. Ot…
