Does anyone have a good workflow for recording personal finances with this type of tool? My problem is that recording every single transaction becomes tedious, so I end up not doing it and the ledger gets out of sync, making it even more tedious to catch back up in a vicious cycle. I'm considering not tracking individual payments and instead just the total monthly changes so I at least have an up-to-date net worth calculation

The other great factor for dating success for men is income. You can offset being short by earning a lot of money. Since you are here on HN I assume you earn way more than average Americans.

Each inch of height corresponds to about $25k of yearly income on the attractiveness scale. Do the math, are you still below average? Note that income isn't just what you earn, but what you can be expected to earn in the future, so even if you met a woman as a bright computer science student you would still expect to earn a lot of money.

Sure, i think you're basically describing distributed actors with durable state, and yes the Photon model can be viewed as distributed actors (with amazing syntax). Other great teams are working on the infinity scale streaming infrastructure, we'd like to be the last-mile UI for next-gen end-user applications.

Isn't this another discrimination that short men face? They cannot even engage in a conversation without getting an ad hominem attack. Think napoleon complex.
If it's tabular, I want schema for the columns. Is this column a 'number' or a string? Even better, is there a max length or precision known? Can the cell be null and how is that represented? How are dates formatted? Are they UTC/specific TZ, etc.

Most of my complaints about CSV relate to trying to determine the types used to parse or import as, not how commas are escaped. Excel, for example, actually warns you about this if you try to save a native Excel file as CSV: you are effectively throwing away information.
Being a Starter Kit, it helps compile Tailwind and then remove the un-used CSS. It does not matter if you use Tailwind 2 or 3, it should work.

The idea is that Jekyll is Ruby while the way Tailwind is setup (usually) is easier managed by the available NPMs. This kit makes it easy to marry the two.

I like it as this is simpler than the others I had seen, nothing more than the bare needed to get the work done.
"Monstrous" is an opinion, not a metric.

I would personally much rather maintain the code in the second example than in the first.
I would encourage your daughter to cast a wide net. Being technical does not always mean being an engineer or a scientist (computer or otherwise), and being an engineer/scientist doesn't always mean being technical.

Some of today's most interesting and exciting "technical" challenges have their roots in many disciplines. Cybersecurity can be tackled from a full range of perspectives, from the highly technical (e.g. cryptography) to traditionally non-technical disciplines like law, public policy, and design. The kind of deep thought our world needs on things like AI and ML needs people who are just as informed about the social sciences, psychology, philosophy, and economics as they are about computer science. Our ongoing debates about issues like content moderation or digital privacy need folks who understand how to think about people, including those who are at risk and vulnerable, and then translate that knowledge into the language of engineers.

And even though we've made progress on this front, our governments, courts, and legislatures are still running on a deficit of knowledge about tech, which is a whole different ballgame. (I'd encourage reading Bruce Schneier's site on public interest technology if you're interested: https://public-interest-tech.com/)

All this is to say: if your daughter wants to go the hardcore tech route and loves solving CS or software engineering challenges, more power to her! But I also hope that she doesn't feel limited or boxed in by the traditional definitions of the discipline.
There is no Nobel for mathematics.

You need something about the Fields Medal.
The flaws you point out are largely a case of the science news cycle in action (https://phdcomics.com/comics.php?f=1174), not the fault of the researchers. In their actual paper[0] and in the quotes the BBC uses, they don't use the word "vegetarian", and don't really make any unreasonable claims about their findings.

Maybe this isn't the advice you were looking for, but why don't you just ask her to explain the issues that she's facing when she deals with them? You're never going to be more informed than her about the technical issues, your strength is as moral support for her to make her own decisions.
You've got that backwards. Wealth was a far bigger factor in traditional society than in modern society.
If we survive long enough to make a self-sustaining colony on Mars, I would think that transporting humans to Mars could happen cheaply enough that basically everyone could afford it.

For example, Elon believes that Starship's launch costs[0] will be $10/kg, and the average human adult weighs about 70kg, so they would need $700 to pay for a ticket (ignoring food costs). Over 90% of the world's population earns more than $1.90 per day, so it would take about a year for them to buy their ticket.

(Okay, admittedly, they will probably end up having to pay for their ticket with money they earn on Mars, since the currencies of an uninhabitable Earth won't be much use to their Martian rescuers, and thus these refugees will effectively be indentured servants in a horrific twisted parody of the transatlantic slave trade, but this awful moral vision would only have to last for a couple of years while they paid off their debt.)

In your expert opinion, what is Gurobi's edge? The foundational mathematical formulation for solvers has been known for decades. I have read that Gurobi has many heuristics that statistically work well against real world problems.

What are concrete technical challenges HiGHS needs to solve to bridge the gap with Gurobi?

Because it's not a search - you're consenting to it as part of something you are doing that is not a right (getting a mortgage, getting a home). The moment the scenario shifts from "this is done to you" to "this is a prerequisite to a thing you are doing" then you have basically no rights.
The possibility of Higgs appearing at LHC, but not any supersymetry partners, has a name among physicists: the nightmare scenario. The Higgs discovery (measuring its mass) wasn't unexpected, there were known symmetries and energy bounds that made it pretty much have to be there. Everything new LHC was supposed to discover has not appeared. That's not to say there's not good science happening there -- but many people (physicists) consider it disappointing. The purpose of building a collider that big and expensive is to find new particles.
> With DuckDB, it’s like you can build your own AWS Athena at likely a fraction of the cost

Isn't the whole purpose of Athena to scale to large amounts of data that don't fit into memory? How does duckdb fit in here? I thought it's an in-memory database?
The lender is acting at the behest of the government when they follow KYC regulations. The 4th amendment specifically protects against this sort of search of your 'papers'. KYC is a search. It's a government requirement to have your papers searched-- akin to a policeman asking to see your papers before you get the loan. That's a search.

---------------

>If you are stopped by the cops and they ask if they can search your car and you say “yes” then the search is valid. You are allowed to say “no”. They can force the search under certain circumstances.

OK I say no and the policeman has no probable cause to search. What happens next? Am I allowed to continue my elective activity of going down the street, or can the policeman pull out a gun and tell me I'm going to jail if I continue to electively head towards my destination? I think you know the answer -- when I decline the search it has no effect on my elective ability to complete my task of continuing on the roadway. Returning to the loan, the analogy here is I would be allowed to proceed even after declining KYC search.

>You are allowed to say “no”.

Going back to your example of the cops stopping you, when I say no I'm eventually allowed to continue on my way. I'm not turned around and stopped from completing my elective activity. By your logic government could just pass a law that whenever you elect to leave your house, your constitutional rights are waved -- that's just ludicrous and defies reason for having them in the first place. You're not allowed to say 'no' to following the KYC search and keep on going -- It's a forcible search.
Honestly, if she’s ready to graduate High school and enter college, she’s old enough to be researching those questions on her own (not that you can’t too). She should be, too. Learning how to learn in your industry is an actual skill to learn. Learning what the “pulse” of the industry is will also be valuable for her during studies and beyond, and she’ll also meet peers who can have those discussions with her.

That said, I think for many this forum is actually the place to learn about the industry. It’s too broad an industry to find more specifics without knowing her interests. Does she like startups? Does she care more about the business side? Financial tech? AI? App development? Does she not know?

This site is honestly a great mixed aggregator of other sites. Find interesting ones and see the other posts. She’s in HS so the bar is low on deep technical knowledge and expectations. She should probably focus less on intense research topics unless she has an actual interest in a more academic side (simply because academic research is less approachable to someone without much academic experience).

If she doesn’t have an answer to those questions, I would say she just start googling things that pique curiosity. “How does X work” is how I started. That’s how I learned which buzzwords and jargon mattered to me. Probably more approachable for a younger person earlier on the journey.

With that much stop & go, i wonder what a regular car would do.
Had the same thought, reading the strings package. Why’d they mention letters? Were Ken Thompson and Rob Pike even aware of the concept of Unicode code points?
Yeah I would say that there are two means in which it does.

1) Direct means: this is stuff like finding helium in the sun, and from there being able to see its signature and find it elsewhere (we can say this for other atoms and molecules too). Stopping nuclear war, due to tracking the proper origin (and providing an explanation) of the source of gamma bursts. Studying reactions in nature and then attempting to replicate them on earth (fusion is an obvious example but there are others). These tend to be kinda weak if we don't include things like justification to go to space, which is iffy either way.

2) Indirect means: These are probably providing the most value. This is pretty true for any advance science though. When you're pushing the extremes of our knowledge you have to invent new things to measure and test. You might say that these could be built by industry, but the thing is that these are often extremely expensive. So one can also think of science as a means for governments to inject innovation into their economies. You need to detect a star really far away? Well you're going to also be building cutting edge mirrors, radio instruments, and other things. Want to detect gravitational waves? You got to write code that is really good at detecting noise and differentiating a signal that is smaller than fp64 precision. These all have huge benefits. The science becomes public and as these things are being invented papers are being written and industry is able to learn from these challenges and transfer the lessons learned to their own applications, which dramatically reduces R&D costs. Additionally, a lot of mathematical frameworks and tools are build out of this (I was considering putting this under #1). These maths apply far beyond a specific problem. You might find things like how to do fast QR decomposition or signal analysis.

I'll add a bit to #2 too. You might ask why not push that money into industries. Well there's a few reasons. First, science is exploratory by nature. You may have no idea about all the challenges you're going to face and all the things you need when undertaking big projects like these (that's why there's constant delays). I mean we got the internet out of a problem like this with CERN. Second off, scientists don't give a shit about industry (well not to the same degree). They say that happiness is worth 10 IQ points. If you've ever talked to scientists in a big lab they will nerd out on you. It is exciting just exploring what makes the universe and us. Maybe it is just my degree in physics, but I also think there's something poetic to trying to understand the environment around us. Does everything have to have a direct monetary value? What's wrong about learning for the sake of learning? Also, sometimes the return on investment on science is hundreds of years, but it does seem to always pay dividends.
The ACLU's response seem pretty awkward:

> A number of state lawmakers—many of whom have also fought to censor discussions of race and gender in public schools—have begun introducing vague “curriculum transparency laws” that require schools to post lists of all of their teaching materials online, including books, articles and videos.

> Below is a comment from Emerson Sykes, staff attorney in the ACLU Speech, Privacy and Technology Project in response:

> “Government bodies should always strive for transparency, and the ACLU supports any good-faith effort to make public education as transparent as possible to parents and communities. Indeed, transparency is already the norm in many public school systems.

> “But some of these so-called ‘curriculum transparency bills’ are thinly veiled attempts at chilling teachers and students from learning and talking about race and gender in schools. Their sponsors have said as much.

> “For example, in Florida, one lawmaker recently introduced legislation that would allow teachers and children to be constantly recorded and surveilled in the classroom for signs of teaching and learning about ‘divisive concepts’ around race and gender. We can keep our communities informed without placing children and their teachers under a microscope.

Some states are requiring teachers to publish curricula. Other states are trying to put cameras in classrooms, or prohibit certain topics. The latter are bad, but what does that have to do with the former? I absolutely would want to know my children's curriculum so I can ask them what they learned in school today and know that they're paying attention. And if math is seriously watered down, teach my kids or bring them to Kumon.

The idea that curricula should be withheld from parents, because some might get pissy about their students history class talking about the Civil War instead of "The War of Northern Aggression" seems absurd. I still fail to see why a policy requiring schools "list of all of their teaching materials online, including books, articles and videos." would be considered controversial.

Hardly, I'm asking why a community that has lived somewhere for generations remains insular to the point of xenophobia and treats people not in their group who also live there as non-people.

Reach out to our advisors at bestparents.com who can actually help you with this exact topic.

We have tons of short courses from great providers. My favorite is one which pairs teenagers like your daughter 1:1 with a postdoc at Cambridge University on a two week project e.g. creating an AI for categorizing blog posts. At the end of the two weeks your daughter gets a reference from that same postdoc on their enthusiasm, aptitude and preparedness for that technical subject. You find that if you and your daughter go through 2 or 3 such programs together the process of selecting among them and the references you get from academics give you a ton of context that genuinely prepares you both for the bewildering world of technical professional and academic careers.

Last year I remember in particular we helped one kid navigate the maze of "Computer Science vs Videogame Design vs Computer Art vs Chemical Engineering" this exact way. It was great to see his parents learn all about the nuances of the videogame business and careers in CS despite having a Chemical Engineering background.

Do consider reaching out and also checking out our social media where we talk about situations exactly like yours all the time.

> Columns are separated by \u001F (ASCII unit separator)

Or, how about columns separated by \u002C, and rows separated by \u000A. And, for bonus points, we can even define unambiguous ways of escaping those two characters so that they CAN appear within column values, if we wanted to, and not tell people that our encoding format is totally stupid and that they need to use a different format.

OP's proposal is equally "highly sub-optimal for the job" for exactly the same imaginary reasons they dislike the currently available encoding formats, but they don't seem to realize it.

I suspect that this is true for any field. Not just mathematics. Think computer science. Think physics. The reality is that only a tiny percentage of people move a field/humankind forward. For every Einstein there are millions of people with zero long term impact.

I'm an avid user of GnuCash. Last I checked, their mobile app was basically abandoned (around 2018), and it had no way to use a SQL DB, even though the desktop can use SQLite3, MySQL, and Postgres [1]. So there was no easy way to use desktop AND mobile in a shared way.

So, I made a small companion app called gnucash-helper [2]. It's a Python/Flask web app for doing the very basics of GnuCash, i.e. entering transactions, looking at their history, and checking balances.

If you want to try it out, there's a demo of it on https://demo.checkyour.finance. The container it runs in is destroyed every 30 minutes, but that's enough time to play with it. It's very simple, but it does everything I need, to the point that I no longer have to open the desktop program.

Your feedback is most welcome. I should say right now, though: it's more like beta software at this point. I haven't built the Docker container in a while, so the one on Docker Hub may or may not work. If anyone has any interest in contributing ideas or code to this, I would love to hear about it.

Edit:

A couple things I forgot to mention:

- The backend for this is a .gnucash file that is saved in the sqlite file format. You can add your own into an S3 bucket, and this will write to it using Python's boto3 library.

- There's no way as of yet to download the GnuCash file directly from the web app, but I would like to add that in the future.

- The heart of this app is the Piecash Python library [3]. It lets you use Python to alter GnuCash files.
