I think ignorance is a pretty powerful argument to be made by any developer wanting to use Roslyn. The last few times I messed with it there was literally no documentation and everything I knew/know comes from reading headers, trial and error, and experimentation.

I feel defensive about calling it cumbersome though, and I can't imagine why something like your LUA vision isn't possible (though, I've never tried I just assumed someone would inevitably do this). For example, if World of Warcraft were to switch out their UI LUA extension system with C# I could totally imagine this being possible (though it'd be suicidal for their mod community). Likewise, if Unity were to begin using it for this kind of thing (if they don't already) I'd imagine it is possible.

If he puts a blanket over his head: solely rely on the sound each key makes. Hack his computer remotely using one of the government owned 0days and dump the keys.

Then you choose the wrong account type. EC cards are standard and attached to the account. Obviously, credit cards are separate because you have to pass through Visa, Master Cards or whom ever. Not picking a prepaid credit card is one additional document to fill out. Having a regular income would result in, at least, a credit limit of 2.5k €.

Had that very same experience with Sparkasse, Postbank and my Amazon credit card.
Would be cool if the Agency did relatively more of this kind of thing and relatively less of, for example, paying psychotic Afghan pedophile warlords hundreds of millions of dollars for reneged-upon power sharing agreements and HUMINT of dubious value.

I have a book recommendation: Your Money or Your Life. It was recently updated, mostly to bring the investment advice a bit more up-to-date. But either version will be amazing. It's not an overstatement to say that book changed my life. It gives you some tasks, like tracking your spending (down to the penny), and ultimately strives to make the point that: you trade your finite time on this planet for money, so you should value it and use it wisely.

beancount: Double-Entry Accounting from Text Files

Damien Riehl and Noah Rubin are heroes!

I can’t wait until the day comes when we as a species no longer feel the need to claim intellectual property. This shit is so stupid.
Problems that can be solved with blockchain must have a certain value if they get solved, and since blockchains are a good value store, perhaps we could make a blockchain where blocks are mined based on solving blockchain related issues, and the miners who solve these issues then get the rewards. I’m a bit fuzzy on the technical details, so perhaps the first draft can use written contracts and fiat exchanges as placeholder for the blockchain tech, and focus on problems that can be solved using the same. But there’s definitely a great startup idea here if only we can get the billions in investment needed to make this dream a reality!
I use YNAB to manage my day to day money.

I use Personal Capital to manage my long term planning.

I invest via Robinhood, Betterment and Vanguard.

I use Ally's High Yield Savings as my long term savings such as a 6 month emergency fund.

I still use my credit union I had in Atlanta even though I am in Nashville. I prefer them because I've been a member there for almost 10 years, so I have a rapport with them. I rarely have cash, and when I do I just spend it. I go to Atlanta a few times a year so if I need anything, I can just pop in one of the branches.

That's really it.
No it really isn't. Nothing in their onboarding process tells you "Oh, better keep some cash stashed in your underwear drawer or another active bank account cause we might cut off your access at any time and blame an algorithm if you even get a chance to contact us in the first place"

>How times have changed.

I think a major part of this, as applied to SpaceX and Boeing, is historically NASA micromanaged their contractors on cost+ based contracts. That is where companies like Boeing thrived, tell Boeing exactly what to do, they can do it and at the same time they can jack up the costs so cost+ is as lucrative as possible.

Now that contracting has changed and NASA no longer micromanages but just give the contractors top down goals within a given budget, we see how bad legacy contractors like Boeing are when not micromanaged, and given budgets, rather than cost+ contracts.

I record my expenses with HelloExpense[1] on Android, and I wrote a small app to analyse the csv export (using Python with Dash[2]).
The code of the analysis app is available on Gitlab[3] and a demo is deployed on heroku at https://expenses-analysis.herokuapp.com/ (note that all work is done server side, so if you use it with your own CSV file, it will be uploaded to the server, so it's definitely better to run it locally)

It suits my needs perfectly, and I find it very useful, but from what I know I'm the only user of my analysis app :-D

Understanding where your money goes is a first good step in managing your finances.

I use beancount for text-based accounting (http://furius.ca/beancount/), and fava for budgeting and visualization (https://beancount.github.io/fava/).

But the tech just isn't that important, as far as I'm concerned... What actually makes a difference for me is, every morning (except occasionally on weekends), I enter the previous day's transactions, balance my books, and commit the changes to a git repo. I think balancing daily is important:

1) Balancing accounts can be a massive pain, but when I do it every day, it generally takes me about 5 minutes (so maybe 2 hours a month), while balancing at the end of the month, even if it only takes the same 2 hours, is very tedious and I have no motivation to do it, so it doesn't get done.

2) I've caught multiple instances of fraud and the occasional bank error or paycheck error within 24 hours of their occurrence. Not strictly necessary, but helpful to get it sorted right away.

3) One of the best ways to remember things is to review the next day. I find I have a much better picture of my financial state, and how much I've been spending recently, when I'm taking 5 minutes to look at yesterday's numbers, every single day.
Bell/AT&T had an effective telephone monopoly during the time of Bell Labs. They invented the transistor, MOSFETs, Unix, C, lasers, information theory, photovoltaic cells, Shor's algorithm, CCDs (basis for CMOS)...

It's not in the sweet spot of this forum, but aerospace research is incredibly capital intensive and difficult. There are economies of scale of combined R&D departments. Those labs don't last forever, but I hope my example of Bell Labs shows how productive and important they can be. You would not achieve that with Boeing divided into 10 parts.

This doesn't even go into just how impractical that is for commercial aerospace. The overhead for flying multiple types of aircraft is huge. Simulators are very expensive to produce. Pilots need large numbers of hours on different planes. It would be a maintenance nightmare since parts are tested more than anything outside of medicine and similarly stringent supply chains. The market won't support 10 commercial aircraft companies.

> I'm not buying any of this. I'd speculate that N26 was denied a banking licence in order to look after the "British challenger" banks who already operated in the EU with their EU licence. Having been denied the licence makes operating in the UK post Brexit impossible.

I don't think that's really addressing the point though: Monzo/Starling/et al. are also all free, have a great app and savings up to £85,000 (€100,000) are guaranteed by the UK government.

The fact that they have an order of magnitude fewer customers in the UK than Monzo, for example, seems like strong evidence of their failure to compete; it seems hard to find a compelling reason to use them, especially when they were so late to the market.
>Would you bet a family member?

I used to use Mint but it got too annoying so I am consolidating / closing bank and credit card accounts into one account.

I had some credit card debt that I just was able to put a huge dent due to my new job.

This isn't additional revenue earned, this is just lowering your expenses. Yes, these perks are nice but they don't really contribute to net worth.

Graduating from college(which would cost somewhere between 150,000-500,000 for four years with limited ability to earn income) with a positive net worth is amazing. It is awesome that you were able to do it. I doubt most people are able to do so.

>I'm somewhat wary of keeping any larger sums of money in my N26 account.

It's German. All savings are guaranteed by German gov up to €100k. This is not the case with Monzo or Revolut.
Mint and/or Personal Capital to monitor transactions and balances. Capital One Money Market for Emergency Fund and Capital One Checking for checking. M1 Finance for taxable and tax-advantaged market accounts. Amazon Prime Credit Card (through Chase).

My approach started with Dave Ramsey, but has evolved a little based on "I will teach you to be rich" and some others. In general, I see my finances as a funnel - income comes in and flows to fixed expenses, then to retirement savings and kids education, then to short term savings.

* Tell incoming money where to go, don't live paycheck to paycheck. Doing this better is probably an area I could improve.

* Ensure a 1000 emergency fund in a savings account if you have none already. This is "lost my job" money.

* Ensure income > expenses. So much could be said about this, but it's simple math in the end. You won't get ahead if expenses > income. If this is not the case, focus first on income (ask for raise, look for second or better job, do side gigs), then on expenses (cut spending, get out of vehicle/credit card debt).

* Periodically review spending and see how you can spend less or increase income. I do much of my own car work (~3k this year) and work on some side gigs.

* Don't go into debt except for house. Pay credit card off each cycle. It is there ONLY to get the 1-10% reduction in spending via cash-back rewards. I don't personally feel chasing reward cards is worth it, just pick one that does cash back with minimal fuss. For us this was Amazon Prime's chase card.

* Ensure 3-6 months expenses in an emergency fund (Capital One Money Market). Example, if you average spending 3000/mo, you need 9000-18000. Now you have that long to look for a new job or float a huge emergency, etc.

* As long as that is maxed out, put as much as possible each month in tax-advantaged accounts. Max out IRAs/401ks/education savings/health savings/etc. Max out matched retirement accounts (401k, etc) first. Lest I sound rich, I'm not where I can do this every month yet.

* For IRA, use M1 because it's fee-free. Research a simple blend of ETFs in proportions relative to your risk profile. If you have a while before retirement, something like %90 Stock (VT,VTI), 10% Bonds (BND)

* Save any remaining in taxable stock account at M1 for short term savings (car/vacation/large projects/etc). Research a simple blend of ETFs in a lower-risk config. (ie 10% stocks, 90% bonds)

Okay, don't think in terms of function pairs, but in terms of use case. You might want to write unknown UTF16 to a file, and you might want to write UTF16 to a filename.

But only one of these is possible. Why? because there's an api for writing contents to a handle that takes a length, but not one for opening a file that does.

And you can't “create” api's for what the kernel doesn't support. These are limits on what is possible without forking Linux or some other kernel.

I'm a big supporter for gnu ledger: https://www.ledger-cli.org/

If the itch you're trying to scratch is two parts "control" and one part "understanding", it's a scratcher like no other.

Since everything is text-based, you can slowly automate all the boring parts, as soon as they become boring.

At this stage, I have a scraper that downloads plaintext bank statements, payslips, and 401k transactions, a transformer script (mostly `awk`) that converts those csvs into ledger's format, a makefile that coordinates it all, and a git repository that all this crap lives in (raw data, processed data, ledgers, and code).

I use this to track investments, settle debts among friends and roommates, keep track of tax deductions, and maintain a birds-eye statistical view of my accounts. I check in about once every 3 weeks, I'd guess. I spend maybe 1 hour updating the ledgers and balance-checking, and another hour iterating on some module or another.

It's more work to maintain, but it's a labor of love, and I've learned a lot about accounting and programming along the way. It's like a meditation practice at this point.

Plus, if in the future I ever want to start a business, I'm very confident that I'd be able to keep track of my own finances without needing to hire someone or pay for accounting software, at least for the first couple years.

TLDR; vim + ledger + puppeteer + gnu utilities.
I couldn't recommend a yearly budget higher. I have a "Banking" spreadsheet and a "Budgeting" spreadsheet that work together.

"Banking" tracks current assets/loans/etc as a current picture as well as predicting saving/interest/tax/return rates and giving an estimated assets at age X.

"Budgeting" tracks how much money is earned/spent in various categories and if it's on track for the years estimates. It also keeps track of expected yearly savings/spending and I sometimes adjust based on my habits/needs/desires.

I at some point every Sunday (either when I wake up or go to sleep usually) spend an hour a week updating all my accounts/spending. It's a great habit I've built over about 5 years now and it's really empowering. It's not about tracking every last dollar but more about knowing generally where your spending is going and if you're okay with those choices. It doesn't have to be set in stone either, but it means that increased spending is a deliberate choice you have to consider and weigh the value of.

It's a bit manual but I find rolling your own is really the only way to get everything you want. No software will cut it for sufficiently complex categorization (for example, I know exactly how much I spend on toilet paper because I break it out separately in a household paper category with paper towels and tissues), and building it yourself in code is probably a waste of time. Sheets/Excel really shine here.

For reference, I have about 15 or so accounts I check between credit cards, banks, investment accounts, Venmo, etc.
