Guest author Stefano Fago breaks down when double, BigDecimal, or fixed-point is the right call, and the production traps that quietly undo each one.
blog.frankel.ch/bigdecimal-vs-

double, BigDecimal, or Fixed-Point?

Interesting to hear about this un-contested procurement of unproven 'AI' tools by NZ gov't from Microsoft: rnz.co.nz/national/programmes/ Mighty d…

Business commentator Cécile Meier
While the government is facing scrutiny for defaulting to Microsoft AI tools without a competitive tender to offset massive public sector job cuts, a school lunch recycler is facing council action over a severe pest-ridden backlog that threatens the future of the lunch program. Gym injuries have become a major financial strain, with costs skyrocketing to $72 million annually and rising three times faster than actual claims.
