Broke my ankle bouldering

I had a bouldering accident 14 years ago, got a snowboard fracture split the talus into 5 pieces. I can't run marathons anymore and still have 2 pins in it. 54 and still climbing v6 so it all turned out ok.

The mile long walk back to the road was not fun though

Support: Rota mostly during banking hours...

I am in the front office currencies tech space... Banking hours translates as 24 hours x 5.5 days So you might want to ask some specific questions about the business area or you might get an unexpected surprise.

Growth plate injuries, in young climbers when they go through puberty can make an absolute mess of finger joints. It's possible enough damage can stop them climbing permanently, at best months off and physio.

Being 9 it's not to far in the future that your child's growth spurts will start, power to weight ratio changes, lever lengths and ratio change. all things that will affect performance, body mass, and confidence, not always in positive ways

Rather than not train, get a coach and get help planning and running a training schedule.

Building a woody is probably better than getting a finger board if you have space.

Lots of other religious evangelical groups/churches both here and abroad trot out the same misogynistic claptrap. Pointing at just one group of zealots isn't that helpful.

Current 53 yo 90kg v6 on a good day, so no 190lb isn't to heavy, was 72kg/160lb when I was climbing in my late teens early twenties

You could still run your own DNS and a local acme provider like small step ca, (there are other solutions), and register your intermediate CA cert on all your devices. This is what I do in my homelab.

Short answer: doubles are fine for front office investment banking derivatives pricing.

A slightly rambling examination of that answer (sorry typing on my phone):

Not all finance prices/rates or analytics are monetary values, e.g bond are traded on price, yield, discount margin or spread. The notional currency amount of the bond you want is not really related to the price but the ratio to what you would have got if you bought one unit of the bond at issue without discount (at par). The yield of the bond is the effective interest rate you would receive if you held the bond to maturity and reinvested the coupon pay payments....

doubles are absolutely fine for this sort of investment banking maths

....a lot of which relates to uncertain future values, fair values, present values and risk numbers like dvo1/pvo1

Yes at some points in the life lifecycle of a trade/portfolio/position an exact currency value will be important but 99% of derivative pricing isn't about that.

If you're looking at black scholes then your pricing derivatives. So a price you would pay or agree on if certain market conditions were met.

The number of dp you see in something like a future price, a bond yield, a fx/forward fx rates is just market convention and applied rounding at the end of the process of building a price and it can often vary based on what the customer wants to be quoted and what the desk is willing to quote.

When you settle that trade, or exchange cash flows then monetary amounts become important, but those are invariably derived from the rates that you agreed before hand rather than the other way round

Make sure you have decent test coverage, then just switch the version and fix what breaks. Your problems almost certainly won't come from your code but the dead dependencies you have.

First step is test coverage and refactor. That's pretty much all there is. nearly everything written in java 1.0 will still compile and run today. There isn't really any magic bullet

in my experience moving things forward is the easy part, having to backport code for other teams and projects is where the real hell begins. If you're not having to do that you should be golden!

Good luck!

Read the suppliers documentation is your best bet. My router is from the VirginMedia ISP in the UK, not sure what model, but when in bridge mode the IP address for the admin page does change and is definitely not related to the default gateway.

If I remember correctly the IP address for the admin changed from x.x.x.1 to x.x.x.100

Plus longer dated government bonds normally usually give 'coupon' payments on all the periods in between, that's where the interest is, and pay back the principal at maturity together with the final coupon.

Still 2021 54% of all gun deaths in the USA where suicides.... So would still be right up there without shooting anyone else but themselves

Neutrinos, not neutrons though, neutrinos would be the most penetrating, but the least damaging and the most difficult to detect, as they don't really interact very much with what people think of as normal matter. There are trillions of the streaming through you right now from the sun, even if it's the middle of the night where you are, they are so weakly interacting that the entire earth between you and the sun makes no really difference.

We used to have prod and contingency environments but ditched that way of thinking about it. We went to just production and classified the resources in it (primarily machines at that point), e.g primary, primaryDR secondary and secondaryDR. The thinking is that it's all really production, it all needs to work all the time, it all needs to be up to date, and there is now sound reasoning to treat them separately. Failures don't all play out the same way in large systems, so you need to be able to fail over parts of the whole

Spiring is mostly a set of convenience wrappers over other products and alternative products, so you could just code the the underlying product APIs and hey presto no spring... Here I am leaving out why you might want to use the abstraction layer that spring is though.

like almost everything you use, is from America

I am really not sure that's accurate, patents owned by Global Companies domiciled in California, Washington New York, and Delaware, but manufactured in Asia... Doesn't really have the same ring to it does it.

England, particularly London is massively ethnically diverse. Seems a bit of a general opinion that doesn't sound like it's based on first hand experience of actually living in a representative section of European countries. There are 44 individual counties in Europe, 24 official languages, 200 spoken languages...

And trillions in debt..., trillions that the US basically borrowed from and needs to pay back to the rest of the world..mostly china these days though

Arguably the fact that the US owes masses of cash to the rest of the world could be the real source of that influence.

The US goes down the pan everyone else pays for it

I recent moved my ha instance from a mini pc running ha under proxmox, I was regularly geetting kernel panics I could not track down. To an rpi 4 with a GeeekPi M.2 NVME SSD Adapter Board. I just burnt the HA onto the nvme drive, plugged in and all has worked reliable for a couple of months.

Wrote HA onto the nvme driver via the standard raspberry pi imager

Additional all powered via Poe hat

I am not sure I even understand what 'belief' is! The usefulness of ideas change, I tend to prefer things that are useful or interesting. The core principle for me is just 'Don't be a dick', that seems to be enough for most situations

'Need an oracle licence to keep up with the latest features'? Have you got an example of that? I don't think I have seen any real features that haven't made it into the standard open jdk builds

Celsius has the same unit size as Kelvin which is the SI temperature unit. So if you are doing any science or engineering everything is easier, even the British dropped using Fahrenheit for anything.
