With Temporal, your activity logic still needs to ensure idempotency e.g. by checking if an event id / idempotency key exists in a table. It's still at-least-once delivery. Temporal does make it easy to mint an idempotency key by concatenating workflow run id and activity id, if you don't have a one provided client-side.

Yep, explorer.exe has always started up in the background. Pure speculation here, but this change likely involves preloading the UI surfaces and supporting bits such as disk free space, network share status, thumbnails etc.

I've been using this fork which has Helix bindings: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=silverqu...

Works great even though it's labeled as an alpha.

If you haven't already, try compressing the video using Handbrake to cut down on its size. 1 GB for 5 minutes is quite a lot.

NextDNS is pretty good for this - just change the DNS in your network settings.

The hash is not for decryption. It is for checking the integrity of the downloaded file.

This bears the question of how does an exchange efficiently detect, log and take action against these kinds of behaviours without increasing its own latency too much and (perhaps?) affecting the market?

Does it even matter if a centralised exchange increases its own latency when all market participants have to go through it? I can only think of the case when a security is listed on multiple exchanges, where the latency could mean a small arbitrage opportunity.

Off-topic for this thread but if you can get the ball to ping-pong horizontally while both players are at the top edge then you can stay alive indefinitely - the opponent doesn't seem to move downwards out of this position.

PDFs are ok but I prefer the SingleFile extension which has the benefit of not introducing page breaks which often split images in two. It also preserves the original source and assets in case one ever needs to extract them.

Open up developer tools, choose "toggle device toolbar" in the top left (or equivalent in other browsers), pick a tablet device, and set orientation to landscape. This lets you simulate touch events with your mouse.

Do note that at least some Race3 batches have a rust issue on the plate standoffs:

In addition to what others have said, you should enable Keyboard Navigation in System Settings > Keyboard to control more of the UI by pressing Tab.

The hiring managers are themselves managers of the team e.g. for a team of devs, a software development manager. In parent comment's case, the manager likely asked for opinions from the team after the chats before giving the final approval.
