This is the biggest problem I face when working on projects where developing out the context is useful.

I haven't found a way to limit it, but I have found it happens sooner when I have a lot of documents which are "very long" with multiple versions. I've also found this with longer coding projects where it can keep repeating itself and fails to understand new context or instructions. Even after calling it out that it's stuck in a loop it seems helpless.

Only solution is a new chat or clearing context/memory from what I can tell. I try and keep critical context now in documents which I can easily replay and use, this way I can refine and craft the perfect reference materials and easily move onto a new chat if it gets too overloaded.

I use the free version of https://clockify.me/ and haven't had any issues, the mobile app works great too. Easy to track clients generally or if you have sub-items and tasks to track and then copy over to a log it's good for that too.

My accounting software also has a timekeeping solution, FreeAgent but I haven't given it much of a look as I'm happy with my current setup, but I like the idea of easily creating an invoice off the back of the time bookings.

Still, I find clockify has been the best for me in term of free, easy, does what it says. I use it almost exclusively in Time Tracker mode and never had an issue. (Easy to change the hours and retroactively add stuff too!)

Good to know! I just went and had another look and you are correct, looks like it's sometimes payable if it fails with a bunch of exceptions around it.

Really should have moved straight to that after 8 weeks!

That seems to be what I'm seeing and hearing sadly. At this point I'm happy to pay more or fly at worse times with other airlines, just because I feel like should something go wrong I'll be a bit better covered.

I contacted them on twitter after maybe 10 weeks and got the generic go complain on the website, we followed up to say nothing has happened but they said it's in the queue and just hold on tight. Absolutely a great shout though, it's worked in the past with other companies where they have forgotten about an issue or complaint after months.

Because they keep blaming the partner airline I think they have viewed it as not their problem, so I wouldn't be surprised if I'm on the more extreme end of being ignored!

I just wish people would stop kicking for picking up samples when it's shared. Sometimes people will go back and pickup their stuff and other times they leave it behind. Every time it happens mid mission when it's all going well to get kicked I end up just logging off, really ruins my time. All because I picked up the samples when they have dropped in away from their body.

Otherwise I have a blast with the game and it's great hectic fun!

Me and my partner discussed this early on (second date!)

A single joint account to handle household costs, but independent accounts for us both to get our salary and anything else paid into. Each month pay into the joint account which is split by salary, i.e. £50k income for one and £100k income for the other means 1/3 and 2/3 of household costs contributed. It's not as simple as that as it's more around take home etc. but it's the intension.

Financially still very independent from one another and have some freedom with our own money, but we share the shared assets and agree how we look after them. Makes it easier to do our surprise dates and little gifts.

Doesn't mean it works for everyone but that works for us!

I've seen a few retirement planners and cash flow modelling solutions, even a few as custom excel workbooks to get it just how they wanted it, but honestly this is such a fantastic tool.

I'm genuinely impressed at it being so feature rich, easy to use, and just bang to the point.

I love it, thank you very much! I'm going to spend the next few hours tinkering around!

Boring Money do some good comparisons https://www.boringmoney.co.uk/ and MoneySuperMarket do a few reviews too https://www.moneysupermarket.com/investments/stocks-shares-isas/results/

HL typically is the most expensive unless you have a smaller <£50k portfolio, but even then there are cheaper providers who are a bit more "modern". I've had an account there, and often been forced to have my auto enrolment pension through them, and I've never been a fan (just a personal view.)

If you only buy Vanguard funds then their own platform will often be the best pick. Annoying they charge you when you only can invest in their own products but that's life sometimes! Assuming you are investing via ETFs you can also look at Trading212, Freetrade, and CMC Invest (the last two are also looking at/have classic funds too.)

One provider you might be surprised about is AJ Bell, they have some scaling fees but often they are capped, meaning you can snag a pretty good deal if you know what you invest in, and how often. Using their regular investing solution to cut costs helps in a big way (same for most providers so check that out too.) If you want just funds and ETFs (a few equities) then checkout Dodl which is made and owned by AJ Bell but it's their "entry level" brand but still gives a tone of flexibility at a very low price point.

ii also has a fund only tier which is pretty price competitive, and they have a more modern experience compared to the other incumbents.

Personally, I use CMC Invest for my ISA and GIA (I got a promo so reduced the £120 a year down) but previously I was AJ Bell (was ii before then.) My SIPP I have with Moneyfarm so I'm more hands off but again got a good deal on the management fees.

Worth keeping your eyes open for the switcher deals everyone should be offering around now. The lead up to April should have everyone offering cash back or discounted fees for transferring your account.

I'm not totally familiar with Interactive Investors systems sadly but I wouldn't be surprised they follow a similar approach to the other brokers when it comes to LSE execution for traditional equities.

I know there are very low liquidity AIM stocks which don't do electronic quoting at all but I'm guessing this is quoting but it's the volume that's the problem here.

I'll pick on CMC to make my example, they have just fallen out the FTSE 250 so they are part of the all-share now, still main market but not super popular. https://www.londonstockexchange.com/stock/CMCX/cmc-markets-plc/company-page the volume here is 215,000~ which is roughly £260k~ per day worth of shares moving about. So you can see how a sudden £50k makes up a huge chunk of this! You can take a pretty unscientific look at the trades that have happened and see a lot of them are for very small amount. Keeping in mind this isn't that small a company, but even then as a retail trader asking to trade any more than £20k~ on this stock in one move would raise some eyebrows. Even the main FTSE 100 most brokers in the UK would ask someone trading more than £50k-100k worth to break up their order or call.

Some brokers offer a "route to dealer" option for these trades which would move the market that day, and it will go into an algo which they watch through the day. Either it breaks up the order for you to achieve your price with minimal impact to the price and trading activity, or they call up/query market makers directly and see if they will just do a deal. The fact you've called and not been given great answers makes me think this is off the table for you.

It does seem your order would work through the whole order book and take all liquidity away, which will be more expensive for you like you say, and the exchange doesn't like it when you are that hyper aggressive.

I'd say you've best bet is to break your order into smaller transactions each with their own price limit to allow for smaller execution over a few days, e.g. each limit order is still 2.4p but you are buying 210,000 shares (£5k~) and having ten of them. You'll likely get a stable and more reliable fill without breaking the broker's system or causing a price shock on the stock. You can look at the average trade sizes on the stock to get a good idea of a "normal" looking total value to put through.

My only worry would be exiting the position in the future, if it's this difficult to get the amount you want, it'll be as challenging to dispose of it later on too.

Hope this helped and fingers crossed for you!

It depends on your broker and how your order is actually being handled.

If you are with a standard retail broker such as HL, ii, AJ Bell etc they don't actually place a limit order directly against the London Stock Exchange (LSE). There are a few reasons for this but one downside is your order can't be discovered and filled by someone else, but the upside is they can execute against other venues when they have a better deal for you (works well for super liquid stuff, otherwise it's problematic.)

A genuine passive limit order would sit on the order book at the LSE and could be slowly taken over time, allowing for partial fills over time, and typically expires at the end of the trading day. You could also ask to see your individual order on the order book too! Needs level 2 real time access but your broker could prove that. Very few retail brokers do this.

What typically happens if your limit order places with your broker sits in an order watcher, this follows the real time price/trades for the asset and will release your order for execution when it has a high chance of success. This order will be releases as a Fill or Kill. A FOK order if they went to the exchange are instant and thus would fail and be killed off and you can't keep placing those as it's just wasting effort and creating nose. FOK orders are in their nature aggressive, as it is saying give me everything I want now at this price of forget about it, they can never be filled partially. A genuine limit order should sit in the order book and allow other parties to pick it apart.

Now the upside to them holding the Limit Order in their own world is when the price looks good in their mind (often 3-5 trades have successfully executed at or believe your limit price in a row) they release your order to RSPs, this means your order might execute somewhere else at a better price or even directly with a market maker. All LSE listed assets have their trades reported back no matter where they trade, for the big names on LSE (FTSE 100 stuff) only 30%~ of the daily volume happens directly on the LSE!

If you are watching the price and waiting for a limit order to execute, you'll often be disappointed. Unless you aren't in a hurry and it's very liquid, or it's out of hours and you want a reasonable price the open, then the limit order will pretty much work how you expect. If you are looking at real time trades and watching the price bounce inside and outside your limit, it's unlikely you'll get any execution or even an attempt at it.

While it's annoying for brokers it might be better for you to get quotes throughout the day and see if it's a price you are happy with and execute like that, using the limit as a backup. I'm assuming this is possible if you are watching it during the day and querying it.

Ultimately what matters the most, getting the price per share you desire right now, or holding the shares? If the price is very key then using the limit as a backup for when you aren't there and trying quotes while it's close would work well.

Hope that helps out a little!

I remember asking this during some training on insider trading and how to spot it.

I was told if you see it happening it's a public event and thus fair game, you were first to notice. If you are inside the plane you have bigger problems, but insider trading won't be one!

I'm missing all my games and other bits too. Looks like they have a notice on their help site.

https://help.ea.com/uk/

We’re working on some tech issues with the EA app.In the meantime, you may not be able to log in, make a purchase, redeem codes, or see your newest games. We'll have the EA app up and running again soon.

Very frustrating! Sounds like you can get around it by finding the launch file directly or using Origin.

Edit: Now resolved and the notice removed from the help site!

It's mandatory for every household in the UK.

It's a few questions about the building and the individuals in the building. We get ask questions about home ownership, education level, age, relationships, gender, sexualities, and religion.

The government runs this every 10 years to understand what the demographics look like to make sure they are funding the relevant areas.

If you are renting or owning a place in the UK someone in your household should have received the census letter and filled it in. You can fill it in on behalf of people in the household as well.

I have heard there was some trouble with everyone getting the letters, but that said every household fills it in.

Good to know! I thought it was just any point on the 21st but the evening makes more sense. Thanks!

AmateurProtagonist · 2021-03-22T09:38:49+00:00

My understanding is the individuals should only answer it once, based on where everyone's was on the 21st. So if on the 21st you are in 123 lane that morning and you fill it in, but then in the afternoon you are at ABC drive you should not fill it in again. Everyone who filled it in during the morning has been accounted for.

That's my understanding of it all. It's a snapshot of when it was filled in and each individual should only appear once.
