It's interesting to see this discussion about speeding up check processing, because it seems that a lot of people use checks to slow payments down . It's a convenient way to make it inconvenient for the receiving party! It works

Yes, exactly! Automating it would take away the fun. I do understand why people automate it though - if you're trying to get your day started ASAP and coffee starts your day, then automating it makes a lot of sense.

When I start getting rusty, I fire up gtypist. It does key movement exercises (e.g. dedede dwdwdw dsdsds dadada) for many combinations of keys. It really helps. You do need to make sure you're following good typing practices however.

You can totally do that. As you read the events, you can store and sort them in date order, then produce the state from the sorted order of events when you've finished reading the stream. There's nothing wrong with storing interme

I don’t think they have a compliance desk (i.e. there is no one whose sole job is compliance and probably no one who dedicates any reasonable amount of time to compliance). These companies are probably a lot smaller than you think - that pr
