Ah those nasty market opens in the morning and trying to get a good spot in the queue
Indeed. Although I don't know what precisions are required in crypto products, in traditional trading an 8 byte double is quite enough - the price submitted will have to be rounded to the instrument's precision anyway (e.g. most spot FX products are rounded to 5 decimal places).
With a caveat here, after a very quick look at the code: The price here is defined as long double, which can be different among platforms... My Mac/clang says that long double is still 8 bytes, Linux on that same arm64 machine says it's 16 bytes (and I'm not sure what that's mapped to these days - 80bit FPU instructions, or some Float128 representation)
Used to that... but once I accumulated a heap of AU plugins I just couldn't bear the thought of spending a weekend reinstalling all that again (plus most of them won't work with the new macOS on day one).
Don't know if it counts, but RME Audio are now providing drivers for their pro audio gear via DriverKit instead of the ole kext. Installed yesterday, works just fine (modulo checking forums if any widespread issues)
Thanks for that! I remember reading something on the subject years ago and scrolled through comments hoping someone would dig it up! Kudos!
(But there was another, similar article, much longer, with the actual frames from the movie, going through symbols one by one… I thought I had it bookmarked…)

Sure. And you should probably do that. But then a lot of other people are of the opinion that they can ignore food and weather and come to Britain. Net migration numbers in recent decades have not gone in favour of your line of thinking?
UK high street is being attacked from multiple sides, from apparent lack of labour satisfied/pressured into low wages, to having their access being cut by the latest LTN measures around the country. Rental market is getting squeezed hard by the latest measures that will only make the situation worse, esp for London (I'm lucky I've escaped that place when I could). Current/incoming gov't is drunk on high taxation and more and more regulation of every facet of your life and business. But I'm still unsure my business/work would fare better in any other european country (forget Brexit, it doesn't have much to do with any of this). The malaise is everywhere.

As a labor camp, Britain is very nice and efficient. Depending on the job, their country of origin, and whether they are able/willing to evade taxes, it may work out that a couple years of suffering in shitty conditions will yield a decent nest egg to enjoy back home. That doesn't necessarily mean it's a nice place to live and build a future in. I wonder if there are stats on the average length of stay of those immigrants?

Some of them are pretty surprised at the state of things when they get here. There was a report in the BBC that a lot of Ukrainian refugees find the education system and housing conditions an absolute joke compared to what they had back home.
Which is weird, since the UK scores higher than most of its neighbours and North America in stuff like PISA scores. Quite a lot higher than some of them.
If you're coming from a low income country and are in a life situation where you're willing to put up with worse living situation and more restrictive workers rights for a while to put aside money and then leave, coming to the UK is still an opportunity, so it's entirely unsurprising there's still a net inflow even though a lot of us are either leaving or considering it (I have family here that'll keep me here for a few more years, but once my son is no longer living between mine and his mums I likely won't stay long).
UK government bodies are not known for speedy infrastructure installations/upgrades, which is why the UK has always been at the arse end of broadband speeds in Europe (let alone compared to the rest of world).
Sort of true, but comment suggests UK is much worse, which is sort of not true:
Country Mean Mbps
France 120.01
Spain 115.61
Netherlands 113.98
Malta 107.70
Monaco 100.26
Belgium 91.74
Portugal 91.61
Norway 88.80
Sweden 86.76
Germany 72.95
United Kingdom 72.06
Ireland 70.42
Switzerland 63.20
Finland 56.28
Denmark 52.57
Italy 46.77
Austria 45.56
This is very much something I've not thought much about. There's doesn't seem to be publicised cases where this is abused and having a system where any stolen vehicle can be pinged on major roads is a rather useful thing to have.
There are also sane plate laws in the UK, and plates are tied to a specific vehicle make/model, and the plates are larger, more visible, and far easier for automated systems to read.
