It depends on the risk involved. The US stock market has returned around 7% annually averaged over a very long period of time. That’s considered the benchmark for investments with significant risk.

You forgot to mention the Roman Empire

Credit scores didn’t exist but credit bureaus date back to the mid 1800s in the USA. Also, as others have mentioned creditors would do their due diligence and try to assert that you would be able to pay back your loans by doing many of the same things they do now.

This really isn’t some new, crazy concept like you’re making it out to be. The score has only simplified the process.

VRR isn’t supported by default by most distros. Just because it works with your setup doesn’t mean it works for others.

Also, this event seems to be primarily focused on AMD/Mesa support.

You’re asking a question that nobody has an answer to.

It’s both unethical and illegal.

I remember talking to an older fella about his experience becoming a programmer back in the 60s (I think). He told me that he decided it was time to start a career so he went to a nearby IBM office and asked for a job. They gave him an aptitude test and then hired him the same day. He wrote code for their mainframes until he retired.

I have a hard time believing that an IQ test is a serious measure of attention.

I knew a goth girl in high school who was into blood play. She wanted to be cut during sex. I don’t think she was otherwise into self-harm which is interesting.

You’ve definitely given us enough information to make a decision. This is actually an alien probe.

I don’t understand how they could be taking such a big loss on those accounts. Federal reserve rates are above 5%…

Also, it’s hard to feel bad for the bank taking a billion dollar loss when they have like 1.5 trillion dollars in assets.

There’s no reason that a monolith can’t scale. In fact you scale a monolith the same way you scale micro services.

The real reason to use micro services is because you can have individual teams own a small set of services. Lemmy isn’t built by a huge corporation though so that doesn’t really make sense.
