Out of curiosity, is Windows your requirement? I wonder how would benchmark on Linux look compared to what you measured on Windows. Remembering all my experience with WSL I'd guess there are things going on in the background that are h

In the country where I live we have a system which allows me to prove my identity online without having to show my ID (actually I must admit I'm quite impressed by this system). But sadly, Wise is not taking advantage of that..

I thought about what you wrote, indeed it is probably difficult to prove either way (unless some other facts are known, like - were there any other companies supplying similar service) I was helping to implement ISO through small orgs (most

It seems that book requires some knowledge of Java, which might be too much for my sister as she already starts losing faith in herself... I start thinking about preparing a small sandbox for her so she can look at it more as something fun
