Never! Maybe they randomly check suspicious transactions. I had a look for some statistics of the transfer time, but wasn't able to find any public data.

Except in the UK, when it's normally transferred within a few seconds, or a maximum of two hours ("Faster Payments").

You might want to investigate having a mode where you can see some of the figures from each paper. This works very well for astronomical arxiv papers: http://arxiver.moonhats.com/

Though many voters may not like government matching a donanation to, for example, the Scientology organisation.

True, but if your country gives you tax breaks for donations, by giving you're depriving other tax payers of your money. You're saying that what you're donating to is more worthwhile than the average government spending, whic

How common is the Linux segfault problem on Ryzen now? Just reading about the horrible RMA procedure puts me off AMD unless they can clean up their terrible handling of this problem.

The article doesn't seem to make clear that the 04 firmware which fixes this has been out for years (mid 2014, specifically). One nice thing about this device is that it is a real Linux system which can be used for hosting cheap servic

There have been many comment layering systems for arxiv, none of which seem to have taken off. Also, users are pretty split on whether they want this: http://www.nature.com/news/arxiv-preprint-server-plans-multi... . P

I don't own one, but I've read Xiaomi provide regular software updates. As a Motorola G4 owner stuck on the Android March 2017 update, that's attractive.

As someone else who also grew up on a dairy farm (UK), it's very hard to find reliable people to do the work. I can understand that as an office job has a lot of attractions compared to being out in rain in the winter darkness. They wi

tsocks [1] is also interesting. It lets you run a program forwarding all its network data through a SOCKS proxy. It's very useful if you want to VPN a single application over a SSH connection. [1] http://tsocks.sourceforge.n

Have you been following the series on accounting in LWN? https://lwn.net/Articles/735334/ Also, is Gtk the best choice for cross-platform development? I'd seriously also consider Qt.

A SOCKS5 tunnel supports DNS. This is good for web browsing and is natively supported by ssh. You can even use it for individual programs using the tsocks command line wrapper.

Sort of, though I was thinking of more of a system external to python at the C/C++ level. Maybe it's possible to use cffi like this.

I've always thought ctypes a bit of a hack as you get crashes and so on if you're not constantly careful about updating function definitions. It would be much nicer if the compiler could catch the errors, e.g. #include &quot

Banks in Germany are competitive with TransferWise for fairly large amounts (several thousand euros). You can achieve sub 0.5% charges with DKB, including the exchange rate penalty, for example. The main problem is that the pricing structur

Veusz ( https://veusz.github.io/ ) does this. Data are sent to the plotting process using pickle over a socket.

If you had checked the repository, you would have seen that I had already done that. I posted here the link to add your list.

That's absolutely fine if they are set with explicit values or were assigned with the same double. The main issues used to be with the old x86 80 bit wide floating point registers which meant you could sometimes find x != x depending o

IRC allows files to be sent: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_Client-to-Client - it's not a great protocol however, particularly when used with firewalls.

Why the downvotes? It's clearly easier to make a compiler in a higher level language (Python is just an example, but Lisps are suited to this kind of thing). For example, text parsing is easier in Perl/Ruby/Python/Swift&

Some of those files are C++!

If the goal is to break the dependency cycle, a higher level language like Python would make development much easier. C++ is powerful, but not as rapid to develop in.

Banks do need it when applying for some accounts in the UK, in particular ISAs because of the tax implications. I've also had it requested by a share broker. A list of places that use it is here: https://www.gov.uk/nati
