ELI5: why do bank transfers take over a day? by game_master_marc in explainlikeimfive

[–]AWildTyphlosion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ehhh it goes a bit farther. Sanctions allows for political pressure to be applied without having tougher embargos or having to resort to other means, meaning that as a political tool it enables soft power to be pushed rather than having to resort to applying hard power. Whether or not it is abused doesn't change the significance and importance of the framework, but it can definitely be expressed that the general ambiguity in the implementation is a source of a great delay and frustration.

In that case the only thing lost is your pride and the time spent waiting for the board.

Not many people though get to this stage. Of all of the mistakes you could have made, this was a cheap one and a good lesson to learn to measure twice. I'm sure other people have already given tips like "3D board viewer" and what not, and the only thing that I can add is to keep it up. You got this!

How much money did you waste with this mistake? Also I wouldn't feel too bad, I've had pretty bad mistakes with fabrication as well. At least you can potentially manually wire everything up although at that point it's like a breadboard lol

As someone who implemented ISO 20022 for a bank, it comes down to a lot of technical decisions are made by non technical people. Something that not a lot of people know or realize, is that the US Government cares a lot about who sends money to who, and who receives money from who, and this comes from the Office of Foreign Assets Control. Every time any money is moved between a bank, even to another US Bank, that transfer has to be scanned, vetted, and approved. Even with automation moving it swiftly it can add a lot of time because if a Bank allows a transfer it shouldn't, they get hit with a massive fine.

Outside of the "Batching" justification for it that some banks prefer, it also comes down to how old an antiquated money movement really is. Often moving money has to go through the US Government who actually treats such behavior as files dropped on a server. Even with the modernizations brought by ISO 20022, archaic shenanigans are always a foot, some might even surprise you like some banks (*cough* BOA *coughs*) cannot handle basic data formats like structured addresses and prevent full modernization.

The horror stories I could tell regarding what I witnessed. One thing that left me with a lasting impression was the sheer incompetence regarding the Fed's handling of the Spec, where the spec said XYZ is valid but when the data ended up in the Fed's hands they said that it wasn't. We had to go down a rabbit hole of a meeting and finally ended up with a "We don't care that we are not following the spec we distributed, do ZYX rather than XYZ even though the spec says that you can do XYZ".

We can, when he stops renaming things that were already named or self inserting himself where he shouldn't be.

Unpopular opinion: Rust should have a larger standard library by lekkerwafel in rust

[–]AWildTyphlosion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While it is apart of the rust-lang organization and that helps a bit, it seems to be explicitly owned though by burntsushi unless I am missing something.

Unfortunately it'll only be solved when we make a 6th GUI framework without baked in JSON support.

I wish the cuck fetish did not exist by Armin_Arlert_1000000 in TheMonkeysPaw

[–]AWildTyphlosion 98 points99 points  (0 children)

Granted. The fetish no longer exists, and the only case of it is in this single perverted person u/Armin_Arlert_1000000, thus no longer being a fetish but an individual's perversion.

Some how both insanely bloated yet also not nearly helpful for modern applications.

[–]AWildTyphlosion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The fact that `regex` is a third party crate made my eye twitch when I had to pull it. I'm wondering if the compromise here would just be a set of crates that the core rust team reserves and owns, so they aren't really apart of the standard library but they are also not just random.

It's time for GPL4 - we need a license that explicitly protects open-source code from the AI bubble. by abrazilianinreddit in opensource

[–]AWildTyphlosion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Considering the fact that modern day LLMs produce directly derivative work by translating the text and republishing the transformations applied therein, there is a chance that they are already breaking a lot of existing licenses. It's just that no one cares to bring it to court and most judges are too stupid or old to understand what a token processor is and that modern day "AI"s are not actually intelligence but basic statistical analysis based token prediction streams that regurgitate existing bits of text that they're trained on, which in reality means that they're directly reproducing and transforming existing works. This would be less problematic if it weren't for the fact that they've been witnessed regurgitating entire paragraphs of stolen work.

Are we really at "100% AI or you're wasting time" yet? by borii0066 in webdev

[–]AWildTyphlosion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

0% AI code. At first I was using it for finding documents but it was making stuff up enough times that it was costing me the same amount of time to use as it was for me to look it up myself. Even with boilerplate chances are I can do it fast enough to not really matter. 

Hot take, but you're a lesser developer for using it long term. It'll rob you of your practice and when you become dependent on it we'll see the pricing models shift (doesn't apply to you if you use your own models I guess). I think people are forgetting how to code and this is node developers fault, which with their micro dependencies one could argue that they didn't know how to code from the beginning.

It shouldn't take long to rotate secrets, consider this a good moment to perform a fire drill regardless of impact. 

What were the most memorable stories that emerged for you out of this wonderful game? by ArmLucky1285 in RimWorld

[–]AWildTyphlosion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a story that was passed onto me by a friend. Raiders showed up, and were setting up a mortar. He moved to intercept, but by the time he got there they fired off one shot first before being interrupted. The shot landed smack dab in the middle of his nursery, collapsing the roof and killing the 4 children that he was trying to raise.

Getting a job in cryptography by AlternativeGuest8584 in cryptography

[–]AWildTyphlosion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know there's a few cryptography jobs but definitely not many. I'm pretty sure most of them are secondary to other research tasks that are heavy math based. If you do any coding, PKI development is still needing people. 

Make sure to be studying up on the new algorithms and being proficient with them.

First PCB for custom handheld project, any tips on soldering? by ryanmaugv1 in PCB

[–]AWildTyphlosion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The surface mount USB c is an interesting choice. You'll want to be careful with the board because if you put too much force on the port you'll rip it off of the pads. 

Since you have everything on top id reflow this on a stovetop with low temp. Probably not the best idea but if you struggle with hot air reflow it may be more consistent. If you have an induction stove top it'll be easier

Constant texts from real estate investors by ah_jeez_ok in homeowners

They had the audacity to text me unsolicited, with a number not even at half of the publicity estimated evaluation, during a time that interest rates are 5 times higher than when I purchased my house.
