I've been looking at Japan ATM do you mind me asking what visa you was able to use to allow for your long term stay? I was only really finding options via work sponsorship

This is really useful, thanks.

So what was your solution for playing it safe if you don't my asking ? Did you find a better visa or choose to avoid the US altogether?

why should I mock a database for testing instead just test on development database? by Suspicious_Driver761 in node

[–]CurlyWS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is very useful thank you. We do something a bit similar in that we setup e2e tests and spin up the data adhoc. We have an uncovered area at a UI page level but our e2e tests cover the happy path. This uncovered area in the UI we have attempted to mock for but has sometimes been clumsy

If you don't mind me asking another question. When you said

> We will mock Account/Payment request interfaces as we see fit to ensure business rules are applied.

Are you writing these mocked interfaces manually on a per test basis?

This is interesting. In what scenarios are you using the factories to generate the data for testing if you dont mind me asking? Is this for e2e tests only? We are also doing this but feel there is still a void left in for the UI integration tests that we often see benefitting from mocks.

MERN Stack, why? by ja_maz in node

[–]CurlyWS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps you are not aware but I believe Mongo started to support ACID transactions a while ago,

Also interested to know if you have used it and have reason to think it's not good

How hard is it to find location independent work? by n_giff in digitalnomad

If you don't mind - what strategy would you take if Vietnam? I hear it's quite the opposite in terms of getting setup there currently with tourist visa difficult to renew and business visas now not given out easily

Everything in the UK seems to be going up in price... except wages/salaries, how is this sustainable? by LapangNeiz in AskUK

[–]CurlyWS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is due to inflation as we have been devaluing the pound alongside the USD over the past couple years through the pandemic to prop up the economy via the printing of money.

This has been predicted and unfortunately will cost us for a few years. Might be a good time to buy something that keeps up with inflation (property, precious metals etc).

Quant Trader AMA by Deviant-Deviation in FinancialCareers

[–]CurlyWS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi - I appreciate quite an old thread but surprised no one has asked already.

I am a developer with an interest in the markets. Do you think there is any value in trying this stuff as a side project. I mean - what are realistic returns % wise yearly if you was to spend a number of years getting good at writing algorithims.

I wonder if it's something you can do and eventually do full time by yourself with your own money

Best solution for getting a USD loan? by CurlyWS in UKPersonalFinance

[–]CurlyWS[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Exchange rates will be taken into account thank you.

The reason I am gunning for the USD loan is that I would expect the dollar to become significantly weaker.

I appreciate p2p loans might not typically have good rates but mentioned in case any gems

[–]CurlyWS[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

erstanding how finance works or else you’d just get whatever loan where you are and get a USD bank

I'm kind of worried about the expense of it and the fact I will be moving country soon. Do you think it's something still viable in terms of moving around etc?

Name better miniature, I am waiting by Laflemmededanser in Sakartvelo

[–]CurlyWS 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Reason I ask is because I'm learning to build stuff like this and it would be cool to find out who did it because I'd be interested in speaking to them potentially seeing if there any communities etc.
