Nearly all grocers in England (Asda, Tesco, Sainsburys, Morrions) will have a weekly offer on crates, you can nearly always find 20 crates of stella for 20 quid (20x400mlx2). I guess these aren't available in Scotland? You only really pay over a fiver a four pack when you're in a rush at the co-op or tesco express, if you're in the big store you'll change 4 stella to four kroneberg for 3.29 or whatever similar, on mainstream lagers anyway

This is fixed at least in the fast ring

It's all hacked in on intellij platform and reading their youtrack that their plan - each plugin bakes in WSL knowledge, where as VSCode basically launches a remote command proxy so it works the same weather WSL2 or a local vbox with ssh or a remote VPS and plugins dont need to change (or do so in a minor away). More an IntelliJ rant I guess

Need to set max memory in wslconfig too - not so well documented - otherwise your VM will just balloon to fill up all your RAM and windows and windows app will start swapping

Just minor issues:

You need to be on the insider programmer which forces telemetry and means you have a PITA windows style upgrade every other week (and the nagging associated with it).

Whilst you can read /mnt/c/ you can't read virtual file systems such as Google drive stream /mnt/g/ is just empty.

You need to do a bit of fuckery like pinning your ssh-agent to a known file socket and test this in your bash/zsh startup - not a biggie since you arent starting this off your WM

No X support - there are third party x viewers though but not officially endorsed. So no apps like xkeynav and xkill.

None of the intellij ecosystem have WSL support - sure you can set the terminal to be use wsl.exe but stuff like using your WSL2 distro's openssh config or using the agent running in your WSL2 etc... arent there or coming, VSCode is lightyears ahead in this department due to the way its modelled. Sadly intellij team aren't thinking in the same way of the vscode team, so instead of proxying through a remote demon they are thinking of doing something like reading //wsl$/distro/home/you/.ssh/config instead, hacking WSL support in their ssh/git bits

Exchanges only have a couple of hundred customers afaiu, with the volume coming through only a couple of dozen, everyone else is through their prime broker. In other words there is a limit on how much they can pull fees up before liquidity moves elsewhere. I wouldn't be surprised too if the matching software was off the shelf.

I don't understand how HKEX has this much money (or can raise) to buy LSE (or invertly why LSE is worth this much). Exchanges don't do clearing so essentially just a glorified piece of matching software running 24/7. HKEX has their own data center in the middle of nowhere granted which I've been to and yeah more impressive than say an Equinix such HK1 but still the figures don't seem right..
