Ask HN: What are you using for personal financial planning/tracking?
I used to try a bunch of different apps for tracking personal finances(YNAB, Mint etc.). But they didn't fit my "model". There are a few options that I would like to have:

- Transaction fees, I want to see how much I lose on transactions

- Smart budgeting

- Family sharing

- Recurrent savings (e.g >10% from each income)

- Multi currencies

- The planing of big purchases (e.g >5% from each income with deadlines)

- Maybe available money per day (total income - recurrent transactions(e.g savings/subscriptions) - purchases planing / days in month) something like that.

Google Sheet doesn't fit my expectation, because I fill in transactions from the iPhone.
I already started working on the app for myself but feel that there is a loooot of similar stuff. So no need for one more.

Please, share your experience of tracking the personal budget. What are you using for that? What have you tried to use? Maybe you already made something that will be suitable for me?
And further 3% by having a linear revision history. With some luck it will even render diffs correctly.

Disclaimer: I work at Google and hate docs. But acknowledge the thing works ok for its intended user.
> I think it’s an argument you don’t understand

I've sold hundreds of millions of merchandise over the last decade. Think I understand just fine, thanks.

> doesn’t mean you would want to “buy” another sale for $500.

Of course you do, this is why it's called business. No one is on Etsy because they don't want to make money, and most people I know have excess labour and are willing to trade that for money.

> after factoring in the cost of labor

This isn't how cash flow works. You cannot get fixated on the margin of a single order, but on the blended margin across all orders.

I use a few different languages, one of which is Python, and I use the command line a lot, and I agree that Python is too verbose for a lot of the things that I do on the command line. Therefore, Python is not something that I reach for when doing simple tasks involving pipelines and/or file operations.

I have not yet put time into learning Perl. In no small part because I was intimidated by the weirdness of some of the Perl code that I've seen. The terseness that Perl allows, and which I desire, is at once compelling and scary at the same time. For this Perl also has earned the reputation that it "Write Once, Read Never".

But let's assume that I overcome my fear of Perl. Which version of Perl would you recommend that I learn? Perl 5 or the language formerly known as Perl 6?
IMO Apple has really lost its way in terms of genuinely good UX. The UI might be “pretty” but in terms of actual usability it’s gotten just frustrating at this point. The amount of complexity they require from their users now, memorizing swipe gestures, complex keyboard shortcuts, and strange incarnations is just sad. Good design is simple!
Your solutions can exist. Whether they should or not is an economic tradeoff problem. Production is not free, storage is not free either. Neither one of us have been arguing with hard data yet regarding total $ costs, or evaluation of long-term risks, but the tradeoffs do exist.

The U.S. grows 13 billion bushels of corn per year (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corn_production_in_the_United_...). Of this, it looks like about 1 billion bushels go to feeding U.S. residents directly. I tried to lookup the volume of corn silos in the U.S. to get a good figure for how many years' worth of consumption we keep lying around, I haven't found anything yet.

And this is all looking at a pretty low-level survival grain- canned foods are a bit more expensive to store, then fresh produce, then frozen foods, then fresh meat, etc. (approximately). These foods are also more expensive to produce.
Hah, much the same here. We were on some sweet Pentium 133s on Debian, and even our blistering fast 4 bonded T-1s weren't enough to make them break a sweat.

I know MHz isn't everything, but a 1.5GHz quad-core ARM is abundantly sufficient for running Wordpress and Django and a PostgreSQL backend with plenty of room to spare.
So if they do succeed they won't have any implications in the US since FDA doesn't approve of them and insurances will refuse pay, right?
China is ground zero and as far as anyone knows has 3+ orders of magnitude more cases than any other nation. Turning this into a political or identity political game will be our undoing.

It is statistically prudent to focus on monitoring of and restriction of movement for Chinese Nationals. I would expect the same if the virus broke out in the U.S. and you bet your ass China would have shut down travel just as soon. This is not xenophobia, it is prudence; the fact that the infection currently aligns along national and racial lines is incidental to the steps that we must take as a nation to avoid the chaos that is gripping China.
Congratulations on your launch and good luck! I'm curious about your participation in YC accelerator and would very much appreciate if you could reflect on it (interview, pros, cons, impressions, etc.). I'm especially interested in this due to my current (passive) work on a deep tech (science-based) startup, albeit in a totally different domain, and it would be great if you could reflect on your YC journey from a deep tech startup's perspective.
Nice! I have used MacOS for years and had no idea that this exists. Tooltips would be perfect use for this. Hover over the Wifi icon and the tooltip tells you that option will show you more.
The city program is limited. Efforts to expand it have stalled due to issues with compost storage in apartments and rats. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/oct/07/ick-rats-roa...
> It would be wrong to call it wrong- no history professor would claim that the historical events it discussed did not happen.

My time to shine! I'm married to a history professor. All of the history faculty I know would call that video wrong. History is not the collection of facts but instead putting those facts into a narrative. If you make a narrative that is ill supported by evidence then you've done wrong history.
Thanks for this. That particular section was definitely apropos.
I don't get why there's not continuous validation from apple for UX. Can't they just pay random users to do some tasks and continuously monitor whether they are able to do it?

Something like: how satisfied are you with x,y,z and then let them try to do task 1, task 2, task 3.

Just track these metrics and try to improve the UI according to this. It seems like the designers just live in a bubble without feedback from the users, this seems especially crucial during and after a redesign.

Maybe a small popup in apples own apps, like music. Something like: Want to use apple music for free for one month? Just answer these short questions and complete a few tasks! These things don't need to take longer than 10 minutes.

Even a small sample size could provide meaningful and statistically significant results.
To give the benefit of the doubt to the CDC, it appears that the RT-PCR test has been only about 70% sensitive in China. CT scans actually exceeded the RT-PCR tests in sensitivity. Here's the latest in an informative series of videos.[1]

So, it makes sense that shotgun testing would miss a lot of cases and might not be considered worth it. However, I agree that the CDC still seems to be slow to act, especially given how people like to laud the U.S. for being so advanced. Truth is, we've let institutional decay, neglect, and politics drag us behind relative to other first world countries.

The whole space.com article (3 from above) about Bezos was worth it just for the part about the boat's captain:

> "And I took my parents with me. My mom was the only woman in this group of 60 men on this boat," Bezos said.

> He added that the Norwegian boat captain advised Bezos when he boarded the boat that he had removed all the pornography, "out of respect" to Bezos' mother.

> "OK, thank you," Bezos told the captain.
Was in Tokyo last week and this week.

Depending on the day my guess was that 40-70% of people were wearing masks - more on public transit.

I assume that you mostly were at the Airport or public transit/other huge venues - otherwise I cannot really explain our different experiences.
Better to postpone until summer. There's no indication that next winter won't be a much worse repeat of what we're seeing now.
Fried rice is usually made with rice leftovers which have somewhat dried out. It's a way to make those leftovers more palatable. If it's mushy it means that the rice was too moist.

It's simple to make with your standard (deep) frying pan, on your standard cooker.
But isn't that roughly about EVERY computer? Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, Ti, Apple, Marvell... etc.

Doesn't the browser display a warning in the case of SSL MITM?
That makes sense. I don't know if you're expecting customers to find a doc that will be willing to order or if you're curating a list of docs that customers can select from, but in my experience the latter is much simpler to navigate.

My wife was in a situation where she was in the ragged edges of a common disease that made her eligibility for various trials and therapies suspect. She had a somatic mutation that would be nice to be able to fully catalog. There is a trial going on right now (MATCH [0]) that does selective testing for mutations and deficiencies in cancer patients that have some associated trial therapy. This is fine but outcomes are of course going to vary and developing a catalog that can be mined after the fact might help identify other areas to focus on.

Best of luck to you and your company!

"""

Under these new rules, users can be warned or even suspended for simply “upvoting policy-breaking content within quarantined communities.”

"""

That's an interesting policy. I can see the benefit if one's goal, as owner of a forum, is to constrain the tone of the forum.

I wonder how the tone of Hacker News, for example, is changed by users upvoting comments in clear violation of forum policy.
I'm a little dumbfounded by this as well - I have reusable grocery bags going back at least fifteen years that are still very usable. The more recently acquired ones are even better and I fully intend to be using them for another 15 years - and none of them cost me more than a few dollars each and/or were given to me as freebies. This is for weekly shopping for a family of five plus 4 pets so it isn't like we are gentle on them either.
You can meaningfully add or subtract degrees to a temperature reading, but you can't meaningfully add two readings together (unless you're averaging them!). There's a subtlety here: A temperature difference is actually a different data type than a temperature. Dates and times have similar issues: You can add 2 hours to 3 hours, and you can add 2 hours to 3 o'clock, but you can't add 2 o'clock to 3 o'clock.

A better litmus test is whether you can subtract values. The difference between two times, or two dates, or two temperature readings is something that is meaningful and commonly used in everyday life. The difference between two ZIP codes is nonsensical.
What does this do besides drive them to Whatsapp? Indian Nationalist movement grew to the level it is today in part because of the rapid growth of Nationalist whatsapp echo-chambers.

I get being right wing, or even racist, but I think the kind of brain-damaged wannabe sophistry you engage in is frankly a waste of everybody's time, especially yours. If that's what you get off on, then I guess you'll be happy to know you wasted mine. Please, for your own sake, read your post, and consider if what you're writing makes sense. I know you want to win an agrument on the internet, but ultimately, in your post history (I checked) the loser is you, and your poor long-suffering brain.
Forever? Surely at some point it stops being productive to debate everything.

There are plenty of topics that have been discussed and settled. Colonialism is one such topic. PragerU isn't bringing new facts or ideas to the table. Instead they are repeating ideas that have been analyzed and dismissed by experts decades ago.
Guidelines would be ok but these weren't guidelines so much as inflexible rules.

Surprise doesn't really have anything to do with it. We want the CDC to take the coronavirus seriously and disregarding doctors working directly with coronavirus patients is not taking it seriously.
Then it's semantics, because when I say "sanitize your inputs", I'm referring to the same thing. The author just happens to give it a different name.

Thanks, that's a nice explanation
Did you read the parent article? There’s a distinct smoky, rich flavor and lack of mush that great fried rice has that only occurs under those conditions.

Sure, homemade fried rice can be good (with some more work than you said) but that’s not what the parent was saying.
Did Knuth try to make his code reusable? Was it reusable? I think those are the key questions.

Not really.

Knuth focused on maintainability. McIlroy focused on reuse of existing code. These are very different, though both laudable, goals.

As an example consider the widely used program for mathematical typesetting, TeX. Knuth started work on it in 1978. Since 1988 it has only received bug fixes. Despite it being widely used, there have been no bug fixes needed since 2014. I cannot think of another program so widely used with such a good maintenance record.

However TeX itself reuses almost nothing.

No code that Doug McIlroy wrote has a maintenance record to match. But McIlroy was the original author of widely used programs including diff, echo, tr, and join. The combined works of Knuth are unlikely to have been reused in more ways by more people than diff alone.
The threading macro just represents function composition, while a Unix pipe represents buffered streaming I/O (or composition of dataflow operators, if you like). Two related but quite different things.
IIRC this is why WhatsApp has now limited the max # of users per chatroom, so this isn't possible in the future
So does this mean Howard Ratner in Uncut Gems wasn't a bad guy?
You are more likely to hold accurate beliefs about the world by deferring to experts. Its not a guarantee but it works well. Treating heterodox ideas as valuable simply by virtue of being heterodox is a much worse epistemological model than trusting academic consensus.
Any other subreddit would have simply been banned long ago for unremitting and unrepentant rule breaking and evasion. And by the subreddit moderators themselves, no less, not just the users!
Actually Firefox for example carries around code to arbitrarily set any restrictions on any of the root CAs in Mozilla's trust store.

These are documented, on a best effort basis, at:

https://wiki.mozilla.org/CA/Additional_Trust_Changes

It is true, however, that no equivalent rules are enforced in most generic TLS clients (e.g. using OpenSSL directly or something like Python).

>An analogy is "Why would promoting handwashing to combat aids be a bad thing? It gets people focused on health."

Well? Do tell. While hand washing or eliminating plastic bags or eliminating plastic straws might not be the end-all be-all of good environmental stewardship or good health practices, I'm a bit dumbfounded how they can be seen in a negative light. It's flu season, be cognizant of hand washing and cover your mouth when you cough - how's that a harmful message again?
Really great suggestion. We haven't tried accepting this yet but naively, I would imagine they should be. I wish I could give a more concrete answer but I will further look into the details and ask our in-house GC.
I personally think that this article buried the lede as far as controversial Reddit actions go. Users now can be (and have been) banned for upvoting posts in quarantined subreddits (both on the right - T_D - and the left - Chapo Trap House - among others). I've seen controversy erupt all around Reddit about this and it doesn't feel right to me. If the content that people are upvoting is bad enough to get banned over shouldn't it just be removed from the site and not left up to upvote?

Edit: the official policy is that only upvoting rule breaking posts will be cause for banning which makes sense. The Redditors I've heard from claim differently but are obviously biased. So take what I said with a grain of salt.
I was imprecise and overly snarky in my original reply, and for that I sincerely apologize. I’d still like an answer to the half of my question that you ignored, so let me try again in a more neutral tone:

In my experience, most instances of someone (or a company) not doing something are not examples of conscious, intentional decisions but rather an unconscious process of the proposed thing not coming to mind. As a concrete example, I haven’t made a painting of anything since grade school. The vast majority of days, I didn’t consider and discard the idea of painting; the idea simply never presented itself.

While Facebook’s history must absolutely be taken into account when trying to discern their motivations, I consider it fundamentally unjust to judge any given incident solely based on behavior in other incidents— otherwise, you leave no path to redemption for the alleged transgressor.

As such, I would like to know if you have any evidence specific to this incident that indicates it was intentional rather than an accident, as claimed.
Somebody, somewhere, wrote the Text::LevenshteinXS module. Somebody, somewhere, had to write sed, awk, head, sort, tr...

It's all fine and dandy to say "look at these awesome tools that make tasks like these trivially easy. See how powerful Unix is". But this fails to consider that somebody, somewhere, has to be a tool writer, not just a tool user. Knuth's code was a tool writer's code, exemplifying a technique (Literate Programming) that is aimed at long form code writers in general.

As with others before, the author fails to grasp that this is an apples to oranges comparison.
As I’m not much of an iPad user, I’m not sure how well I’ve understood the recent onslaught of criticism it has seen, but I thought it was more about gestures that are hard to execute even if you know them, and UI modes that you accidentally can get yourself into with no clear way to exit?

Most of these examples seem like things that are nice to be able to do if you know about them, easy to execute, but not much of a problem if you are oblivious to them?
I think it would be more effective and less heavy-handed/controversial to take the newgrounds.com approach and give you more voting power if you upvote stuff that doesn't receive @dang-action and less voting power if you upvote stuff that eventually gets blammed/rejected/banned.

I always thought it was a clever maneuver on newgrounds' part. Not to say this doesn't already happen on any forums, but my real point is that overtly punishing users with disciplinary action for what they upvote (as Reddit started doing) really seems like the worst of all solutions. Like something that was specifically engineered to maximize user outrage.
>I wonder how the tone of Hacker News, for example, is changed by users upvoting comments in clear violation of forum policy.

It seems to me that Hacker News' singular focus doesn't allow for either strong, purposeful ideology nor for people intently metagaming the community to signal boost ideology. Maybe HN has this problem in a lesser capacity for PR submarines/advertising, but it's not nearly as severe as what the people in "the donald" are doing.
RAM eats battery life so there's a trade-off when it comes to laptops.
Ruby is the best version of Perl. You can do command line one-liners and full-on object-oriented (SmallTalk object model) readable, maintainable programs.
In the developed world, food is so inexpensive that it is cheaper to wildly overproduce and ignore wastage. If you could eliminate poverty, you'd just end up with higher food production and the same rate of food wastage, resulting in more wasted food overall. Efforts to reduce poverty and food waste, running in parallel are what we need. Articles like these do not help.

In the developing world, most of the food wast that occurs at the source (farm/distribution) is unintentional and would be reduced with better infrastructure, policy, property rights, etc. Building a modern cold-storage warehouse in these locations is not a solution!
The point is really honestly not to guilt people, it's really about the environment and a common shared effort, almost all the pollution is more or less directly coming from end-users, consumers, thus we have a huge impact. The other day I discussed with someone at supermarket in front of fruits, about reusing plastic bags, or bringing reusable bags, they told me they do reuse those small plastic bags, for picking their dogs poop. Now with a bit of distance, you realize the nonsense: poop, which is more or less good fertilizer, wrapped in plastics, all that thrown in the common bin, collected by trucks, and brought in the incinerator. And this multiplied by a bunch of people

Yes pets food is often made of secondary parts, but it's still an accelerating factor in fishing/animal farming (some suggest insects (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pet_food#cite_note-8) maybe), we also always forget the indirect cost and pollution, like the transport, the packaging needed to feed daily those 1 billion pets or so worldwide, and their other services, let alone side-effect like feral-cats, ... Yes in some cases pets are useful, but not all

For cosmetics, just see how uncommon has become a basic soap bar, which is however the most efficient cleaning product, and likely less polluting

Ok for fruits in winter, I can understand you as a huge fruit eater (I'm in the South of France), it's still a win-win to eat seasonal, seasonal fruit/vegs are much more nutritive. I think apples is not the best example as with a few variety you can cover the whole year, maybe not locally in Canada though, your gray Canadian apples are excellent tho
They were using it to get a numeric entry pad on mobile devices because users preferred that. They knew the types weren't "numbers". Now that inputmode=”numeric” has better browser support they recommend that.
Yeah, it's 5°C warmer than it was yesterday.
The depressing reality of these is that they're no different from lottery winners in that's they basically got lucky, with the added, pernicious factor, that they probably convince themselves that there was some type of skill or finesse which means they will likely keep trying.
>What does this do besides drive them to Whatsapp?

Whatsapp, etc is not nearly as powerful a recruitment tool as a service designed to create communities, like reddit. Not saying it's not a problem (it is obviously), but it's still limiting compared to reddit.
