If you see micro-services as (a domain boundary + an atomic infrastructural unit), maybe the latter is debatable but the application domain do need 2800 boundaries anyway? Especially for such a large company, especially for a company operat

The next line of thinking to this is that nobody is forcing Apple to sell their devices in the EU. The people of EU have decided through their votes that they will delegate consumer devices compliance rules to bodies orchestrating manoeuvre

We have a pretty minimal setup at formancehq/ledger[1] that uses pg as a storage backend, and comes with a programmability layer to model complex transactions (e.g. sourcing $100 from three accounts in cascade). [1] https://

Jumping-in as I happen to know formance very well; I'm 100% agreeing with the need to know what posting originates from what account, which is why formance transaction format is essentially a container for postings, which themselves ar

Mentioned company founder here, we did not yet! I'm glad to see the ILP project is continuing to progress well though, we should definitely consider it again.

Tbh, the hit to omniscient funds traceability is not that different from what some financial institutions started to accept with Stablecoins already, i.e. a model where KYC/AML happens at the edges but not within the transaction graph

Great news from a project that deserves a close look for those not familiar with it already. Taler is very close in term of mindset to what Ripple was, as originally developped by Ryan Fugger, before helm changed hands and it became the com

The current AML/CTF regulations frameworks can only lead to extremely opaque implementations and end-user experiences. For that reason alone, it makes sense to keep the bulk of your money in a place (meaning, a mainstreet financial ins

Now that we have good language models, it would be great to see what would a quantitative analysis of this perceived increase in ressentiment actually lands as results. I lean on agreeing with your comment, but also curious to see if we&#x2

I figured that shipping labels or tickets were almost the only thing I printed these days, and hence bought a thermal label printer. Couldn't be happier with it. Reasonable price, never asks for ink, prints are instant, never stops wor

Total graphics / shaders / GPU noob here. Does that mean you'll essentially get free visualisations (albeit non-sensical ones) as a byproduct of your computations?
