I've been using MoneyMoney for over 12 years now (started Nov. 2013) on Mac and have never regretted it. I am automatically importing from all my bank accounts, including all statements and even track my portfolio with it. It can automatically categorize every transaction (basically string matching with OR clauses) and doing this consistently for years gave me pretty good insights on my spending behavior over time. It's a pity that they don't have a iOS app though.

> 4) the vaccines likely have little effect on anything unless you were vaccinated as a child (and are a biological woman).

This guidance is changing. Vaccinating men protects women. Also just because you were infected with one strain, that doesn't mean you can't contract another, possibly oncogenic one. Get vaccinated, it protects against the most common cancer-causing strains.

Most problems in most distros are solvable with enough knowhow and enough research time. That time investment is not always worth it in a commercial context. It is a fairly known amount of time to reinstall a distro and get back up and running, and an unknown amount of time to fix an exotic Linux problem.

Many seem to be interested in knowing my distro. I’m not interested in throwing shade on a distro in particular, but it is one of the bigger and well known ones.

> And when I finally—finally—tried to test online play, Minecraft told me I would need to loosen the parental controls (it did not say which) and create a Nintendo Switch Online account for my son.

I'm a bit confused by this section. It seems to me that the author

1. Turned off online.

2. Bought a game that could be played in single-player or online

3. Got mad that online didn't work because it was turned off

4. Turned online back on

5. Got mad that online was turned on.

I actually don't understand what the author was trying to accomplish here

I kept seeing Supabase apps accidentally expose emails, API keys, or internal tables due to small RLS or config mistakes. Not hacks—just easy-to-miss defaults.
So I built Supaguard, a simple scanner that checks for exposed PII, PCI, and hardcoded keys.
It’s early, but it’s already catching issues I didn’t expect. Feedback welcome.

>> No one suggested the court/process itself was dodgy/unfair.

Not sure where this is coming from. The EU recently just won a WTO dispute against China that prohibited patent holders (often EU companies) from pursuing or enforcing patent infringement cases in non-Chinese courts -- it violated several provisions of the WTO's Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS Agreement), including Articles 1.1, 28.1, and 28.2.

If your definition of success includes - nay, depends on - arrogance, overconfidence, and style over substance, then it's fair to say that your definition of success differs greatly from many societies' norm.

Sure, capitalist, hyper-individualistic societies might say the most toxic, selfish companies are the most successful.

But in huge swathes of the world - I'm inclined to say most of the world - success is defined by quality, respect, the test of time, and how well one achieves one's stated objectives.

Even in UK, which is not exactly a socialist utopia, a business or company that is self-sustaining and well -regarded counts as way more successful than, say, Elon Musk or Dyson (since they sold out).

Your definition of success is like defining beauty as 'women with full lips and unlined' and wondering why so many of the most beautiful people you see have had surgery. And pushing for other definitions of beauty won't help, either. Most people define beauty as a spectrum or confluence of various factors which only tangentially relate to the 2 most obvious, currently fashionable factors like lips and wrinkles.

Or, more succinctly: if you define success as financial gain, you don't value moral factors. So of course your most esteemed companies won't either.

> Obviously a webpage without links is like a fish without a bicycle,

URLs are text. Anchor tags are text. The "link" part is a function of the content viewer. text/plain just happens to not trigger that function in most browsers, but there's no guarantee it won't. If I paste that plain text into an email, it's likely my client or the the receiver's is going to "linkify" it.

Yeah, I’m sort of hopeful it’ll experience a similar resurgence to vinyl.

Despite being terminally online for literally decades now I never got out of CDs just because it always bugged me that I could buy a physical copy with better (or, nowadays, usually equivalent) sound quality for the same or less money than the MP3 (or whatever format) album.

I’d then invariably rip to a compressed format for convenient on the go listening but, in 20 odd years, I’ve bought maybe half a dozen albums digitally, and half of those have been simply because no other format is available. (For context, I have maybe 700 albums on CD but I lost accurate count some years ago so it could well be more.)

Also, the existing suite of Clicks Keyboard Cases for iPhone, which while making the phone longer than the slide out magsafe PowerKey, keep the depth nearly unchanged.

Personally got an iPhone solely because Clicks initially was only available for Apples product line and have to say after two years that while Android was never bug free either, iOS doesn't really keep me on polish alone. In other words, neither is less issue prone/has fewer bugs and glitches than the other.

I'm surprised to hear that you were talking about Windows 10. Windows 11 is MUCH worse than 10 with the ads and seems to be the first one where people are complaining en masse. It also comes with a start menu that's both dumbed down and has performance issues. Yes, the start menu. It's slow.

I just know it from a new laptop where I'm keeping the preinstalled Windows for occasions that require it (very rare these days).

I never found efficiency. For five months I imported and categorized my transactions - from payroll through food. I definitely had reports being generated (using hledger) but the amount of time I invested and the ROI wasn’t there.

Had it been 5m a week, maybe I could’ve done it. But it was 3h/wk - finding transactions, transcoding them with scripts I was maintaining, and breaking down the costs with my wife to understand if Costco purchases were “groceries” or “home”.

I nailed the micro and failed the macro. With two kids, and no desire to invest 150h a year into this, there’s no way I can get this to work.

I imagine AI would be great at:

1. Maintaining scripts to extract and normalize various financial artifacts (PDFs, CSVs, XLSXs) into text files

2. Helping draw insights

But manual effort of:

1. Collecting from various banks, paystubs and investment accounts

2. Ensuring flows net to zero and make sense

Is Too Much Work.

The thing that I got stuck on most in 2025 is how often we complain about these centralized behemoths but only rarely distill them to the actual value they provide. Its only if you go through the exercise of understanding why people use them, and what it would take to replicate them, that you can understand what it would actually take to improve them. For example, the fundamental feature of facebook is the network. And layered on, the ability to publish short-stories on the internet and have some control over who gets to read it. The technological part is hard but possible, and the network part well - think about how they did it originally. They physically targeted small social groups and systematically built it over time. It was a big deal when Facebook was open to my university, everyone got on about the same time, and so instantly you were all connecting with each other.

I believe we can build something better. But I'm also now equally convinced that it's possible the next step isn't technological at all, but social. Regulation, breaking up the monopolies, whatever. We treat roads and all manner of other infrastructure as government provided; maybe a social platform is part of it. We always lean these thoughts dystopian, but also which of us technologically inclined readers and creators is spending as much time on policy documents, lobbying, etc, as we are schlepping code around hoping it will be a factor in this process. This is only a half thought but, at least these days I'm thinking more about not only is it time to build, but perhaps its time to be building non-code related things, to achieve what we previously thought were purely technological outcomes.

> If you look at Yeltsin’s presidency and Putin’s first term, both pursued the goal of integrating Russia into the Western world, and to some extent they succeeded.

They succeeded to some extent to integrate Russia into the Western world, but failed or didn't try to actually change Russia. Already in first Putin's term it becomes clear how will the country proceed.

> This opposition was rooted in explicit assurances

No such explicit assurances have ever existed and if someone claims russian politicians have believed some spoken sentences as ratified pacts, they are either dumb or lying. Anyway, Russia also promised in writing to guarantee the territorial integrity and safety of Ukraine (1994), so there is no reason to believe anything they say or write for the foreseeable future.

> You speak of Russia’s aggression toward its neighbors,

For which they never apologised.

> Yet popular memory outside Russia tends to focus almost exclusively on the Soviet attack.

For which they never apologised and annexed Karelia.

And this is exactly why many people say the only good Russian is a dead one. If the country and nation wants to be universally hated, it should proceed exactly like that.

And in exchange we destroyed their empire and government

We did not respond proportionately, we responded disproportionately. I don’t know how this is even being argued by people that our response on WW2 to any of our belligerents was in measured proportion.

Like, it was the last time we went to total warfare and indiscriminately bombed civilian population centers

Kind of, but you're not just picking rationals, you're picking rationals that are known to converge to a real number with some continuous property.

You might be interested in this paper [1] which builds on top of this approach to simulate arbitrarily precise samples from the continuous normal distribution.

> uniquely American

Every so often, local news websites in the UK publish articles highlighting behaviours that are supposedly uniquely characteristic of the area they're writing about, with headlines such as "Only in $city!" or "You'll know all about this if you come from $city!". Across the publications, they're all substantially the same normal human behaviours, just with $city and any mention of local landmarks changed, and photos replaced with local ones. People swallow it up and believe their group is unique.

This article seems to be doing the same sort of thing. Just one of the many forms of modern clickbait - it works.

Hi, I'm Amir, and I've worn many hats during my career, from front-end development to data engineering, and I've built software in languages with different paradigms. I'm mostly interested in building platforms and products that empower software engineers, but also interested in products that might be less tech-oriented and more human-oriented.

I think this is backwards. Sure, condemn the evils your grandparents did. Sure, condemn the evils people in a state messed up by history did. Just don't think that it does any good in itself, because what moral authority do you have? You basically have to be a saint - someone those you speak to recognize as a moral authority, because hey, you really did some morally impressive things - for moral condemnation to have any effect. Otherwise why would they listen?

And you aren't. Or at least, we as a group aren't, compared to them as a group.

> IME Monarch seems like the current best option in this space...

Monarch is just horribly overpriced. I'm not opposed to paying for a SaaS or anything, but Monarch is much too expensive for what it is. Empower (used to be called Personal Capital) is free and what I use instead of Mint. In fairness, the only thing that I really ever used Mint for was to see my net worth and account balances.

The way China approached their internal market for EVs is very different.

They didn't just put tariffs on foreign EVs, they poured a lot of money into their own industry to produce a lot of different companies that became fiercely competitive in their own local market.

Once they got a few big players they stop a lot of the subsidies which led to a lot of companies falling under but at the same time the process produced some really good, competitive and profitable companies like BYD which then were ready to take on the international market.

America, on the other hand, hasn't done much to increase the competitiveness of their own internal market for EVs. Hence, the protectionist measures will have the consequences the poster above described.

Tariffs are not "good" or "bad" they're an economic tool countries can use. It's how you use the tool and in conjunction with which other tools that can have negative or positive consequences for the industry they're applying it to.

It's like "america uses a scalpel to peel oranges" versus "China uses a scalpel in open heart surgeries". The scalpel can cut, but context matters to say if it was used properly or not.

For gaming macOS does not seem a great choice. I have friends with macOS and, at least on Steam, there are very few games running on that platform.

Additionally when I was using macOS for work, I had also some unexpected things if I wanted to use anything a bit more special (think packages installed using homebrew, compiling a thing from source, etc.).

So for me the options are: either use a locked device where you can't do anything other than what the designers thought of and if you are lucky it will be good OR use something where you have complete freedom and take the responsibility to tweak when things dont'work. MacOS tries to be the first option (but in my opinion does not succeed as much as it claims to), Linux is the second option (but it is harder than it could be in many cases) and Windows tries to do both (and is worse than the two other alternatives)

This begs the question though, of why individuals still need to do this like a 17th century clerk, when it costs their counterparties fractions of a man-second. Imagine if their was a law which said, every business that takes a credit card has to supply the consumer with the data in standard, machine-processable format (ie not pdf) via their credit account (IE, not making obtaining their email address a condition).

Beyond that, one book I'm specifically putting on the "to read for 2026" list is Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach[2] by Russell & Norvig.

Papers? I don't necessarily plan those out way in advance, but one that I know I do plan to read is that new one on Tensor Logic[3] by Pedro Domingos.

You’re really claiming the U.S. military cannot stop the Houthi attacks?

The administration’s position is this is Europe’s problem [1]. It’s literally part of America retreating from that historic guarantee.

(That said, the simplest response would be to give the Saudis a weapons deal to secure the coasts. You have to blow up the ports, which will trigger a humanitarian disaster.)

Why are you choosing to compare inventing math to producing a movie? How does that help you advance your argument that it is reasonable for one to be under copyright and not the other?

Movies absolutely can be created with one computer. There was a movie shot entirely on an iphone. They can be edited on an iphone too. Heck, movies can be created without a single computer. That was the only way to make movies for many decades.

You could, I suppose.

Women and girls are being forced to endure porn being made of them. The bosses are saying that AI is going to replace the large majority of the workforce. The bosses are saying that efforts to regulate this technology are problems that should be resisted with vigor, lest we "lose" to foreign adversaries. I am being advertised products that suggest that I replace the joyful interactions that I have with my family with interactions mediated by AI tools.

`They have all of Asia, with a market of another ~2B, and a completely undeveloped market in Africa of another 1B people.`

This is not the market size. Maybe 1% of it. India median income is $300/month. African income is less than $100/month.

You cannot sell EVs, drones and foldable phones there. But you could convince their govs to buy your fancy defense drones.
