I don't think this is true of every financial institution. Nubank runs almost entirely on Clojure except for some of its Data Science tooling which is in Scala. Sure it's JVM, but it doesn't exactly scream risk-averse to me.

Is there only one possible solution for each board? Today I felt like deriving contradictions was a lot harder today than usual, but I still ended up with the correct answers.
I think there should be a way to mark dominos as "confirmed" vs "guesses", because not everyone is going to have working memory to remember which tiles laid down are "guesses" for deriving contradictions.
I've had success with these. I misspoke, they are just a minute long. https://www.demolandia.net/speaker-test/noise.html The white and pink noise loop seamlessly for me in Foobar2k, Plexamp, and Squeezebox
It's stuff like this that resulted in a sort of death by a thousand paper cuts for me with streaming services. I was fed up enough to put a lot of effort into getting my music library onto a NAS and serving it through plexamp. I now have a seamlessly loopable 10 minute long white/pink noise flac file I can play from anywhere and am not beholden to platform lock-in (at least not in the same way as Spotify where my library cannot be taken to another platform, at least not easily). It takes some upfront work and a bit of a hobbyist's attitude towards it but it is extremely rewarding to not be beholden to a platform and to own your own music library.
Programming was (sort of) my Plan B... I declined any offers to do my Masters in Philosophy a few days after reading "How to Think Like a Computer Scientist" and applied to do a Bachelors in CS.
