At the time, no. There wasn't any checking. And while it looks like a lot, it wasn't insanely expensive to unwind. Sometimes these kind of mistakes make money. My own 'mistake profit /loss' was around +1m USD.

I've been in the room when it happened. In one memorable incident, a junior trader I sat opposite bought 100 bn Japanese Yen instead of 10 bn. His excuse? "I lost track of the zeros". We'd only hired the guy because he h

If you want to see where the ultra of analogue keyboards is these days, then watch this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iv6Rh8UNWlI It's a completely 3d printed, fully analog, fully per key adjustable activation depth

Yeah that's where I'm headed also, it's more reliable to push the configs rather than have them poll/pull automatically. There's also https://github.com/zhaofengli/colmena which may be of inter

I don't think so, by default I think the nixos process will simply stop (probably by sending SIGINT) the service and then start it again. But if you could have the server into 'lame duck mode' (no new connections accepted, bu

Or, you could use NixOS and just declare your systems in some text files, git commit; git push. You build script becomes: while true; do git pull nixos-rebuild switch sleep x done That's it. You can even do it r

The SEC regulates the entire US banking industry, and yet 2008 still happened. How is this news? Answer, it's not.

How problematic. Not least because hiring for 'culture fit' is an anti-pattern, and orgs should be hiring for 'culture add'.

I believe it's custom, because the mechanical part is actually just part of a sensor (it's just a magnet in a slider). The other part is the hall effect sensor which is soldered on the board. So, you can't drop these mechanic

I believe it measures distance, so possibly speed as well, and force could be computed with knowledge of spring resistance. However, I don't think I saw anything in their material relating to these two terms.

If you want something you can actually buy, check out the wooting he https://next.wooting.io/wooting-60he You can set per key actuation points, and bind multiple different inputs to the same key but different depths, etc. G

And where would they buy the roubles? And with what? However you cut it, buying gas from Russia means sending them EUR somehow. So the rouble thing is just a divertion from the real issue, which is people dying in Ukraine.

Can you use the space mouse in 3 games? That would be cool! I don't do cad work, but I'm tempted to get a SpaceMouse for the sheer coolness factor.

Sounds like "You are holding it wrong" Err, what software? I can set scroll wheel acceleration on ubuntu, with no additional software. Using HDMI on my camera has a lower resolution output than USB, plus it has an overlay. Again o

Disabling acceleration on scroll wheels of 3rd party mice - Nope. Can you stand scrolling 1 pixel, 1 pixel, 1 pixel, 1/3 the whole screen? I can't. Want to use a 15 year old DSLR as a webcam over USB? Nope. I sent the MBP back. No

Switzerland is indeed extremely expensive for most things, but consumer technology is actually OK here. A low sales tax of ~8% actually makes some products made in China cheaper here that in Germany. Oh, and a lot things like infrastructure

"In 2018 an AdNews study established that on average, Facebook algorithmically assigns 357 interests per user, out of which 134 were rated as ‘accurate’." Ha ha ha! Ha ha, ha ha ha! Ha ha! What a joke!
