I use moneydance and log all transactions. I can report on anything, my data file is perpetual, and there’s no monthly fee.

I used to use YNAB and tried Mint, but I don’t want to pay a monthly fee. YNAB is cheap ($5/month) but it was just a spreadsheet with categories and I expect I’ll need this info forever so $60/year x 50 years adds up.

I have 13 years of data and it’s useful for taxes, business disputes, planning, long term budgeting, and backup/restore.
This is cute but I think it violates the artistic integrity of his piece. The whole point of the 95 startup chime as a piece of art was that Eno took the job because he was fascinated with the idea of creating musical art entirely within a tiny time interval.

Imagine if Walt Whitman became interested in writing haiku for a little while, but because he'd previously written epic poems, hey, let's stretch out his haiku to epic length. No.
The most frequent cause of accidental clicks in my experience are, in no particular order:

layout reflows after first paint

UX changes/updates. If a piece of software is used regularly and users habituate to it then devs should be darn careful when making ux changes

Unresponsive or delayed responses, usually a strong smell of a poorly coded piece of software.

Lack of explicit confirmation on critical actions.

Inconsistent interfaces or workflows

Related to the previous, actions that depend on unreliable resources exhibit unusual behaviors in production environments. Amusingly, these often get conflated by techs for user error when they’re not perfectly reproducible.

I’m not saying your app has any of these or anything against you. I just wanted to share the other side of the coin, that it is frustrating for users to deal with hacked together barely functional apps to get condescended to by support who consider mistakes with the app to be solely the users fault. Any system, no matter how well designed will be misused and it should be possible to partially or fully recover from one or two sequential mistakes. If not that’s a sign to improve the workflow. Well above the baseline frequency of mistakes is a point when the frequency of errors is so great that it is evidently the app itself that is leading users to take actions contrary to their intentions.

To your example, how much effort is needed to fully delete their account once on the right screen? This is a good situation to use a multi step work flow that breaks a users momentum. Consider a big scary warning that covers the screen with a nice long delay before users can proceed, follow that up with a captcha of some sort followed by another delay and warning before showing/enabling the delete button. Once clicked give users another big warning and a scary countdown telling users how much time they have before their accounts permanently gone with a prominent cancel button.

You do not need to charge that much. If nobody is monetizing it, nobody is going to maintain the copyright. Patents work similarly.

Monetization does not need to happen every year though. Think Disney vault and how they would keep classic movies out of distribution intentionally to keep them valuable. This complicates the “legally available” test somewhat. Charging a nominal fee to maintain copyright is a good test though. It makes sure that “somebody” still considers themselves the owner and makes sure they care more than zero.
With hybrids like this, my understanding is that the EV range cannot be directly translated into electric-only driving range, because above a certain speed the car does switch back to the the ICE, regardless. It is only in the lowest speeds when it does the EV-only mode operate.

Or am I missing something?
I just can't express my architecture in such an abstract form whose logic-level simulations (without considering delays, area, routing, power and clock rate) will give a clear indication of win. FPGAs are simply not accurate tools for this: they are slow and big, and FPGA vendor's HDL compilation tool's results' performance measurements simply don't map well enough to actual chip's performance (which also depends on the synthesis and routing of the logic circuit). I need to know actual PDKs.

> General purpose processors and FPGAs are entirely different

Sure, but I specifically want to research the optimal intermediate point between classical CPU architectures and classical FPGA architectures.
I only have the one machine and I'm not buying another just to move to Linux. Maybe when it's time to upgrade, I'll go for an AMD GPU and move to a Linux distro.

Regardless, I mentioned other software besides video games and there's more besides what I listed. I've already gone through the process of making Windows less of a nightmare that it's not a problem for me right now. So no, I don't think it's irrational, regardless of video games, to go through the headache of dealing with Linux distros right now, which I've done plenty of in the past and is its own hell that I'd have to suffer.
Off the island with ya.
The snazzy psychoacoustics thing. :)

It’s my understanding that Apple Music doesn’t actually even use the binaural downmixing instructions that can be encoded into Atmos music tracks, and uses its own algorithm, in a very “Apple knows best” kind of way. I would rather this be, at the very least, something that’s a setting — although as someone who’s never had any real luck hearing even the best true binaural recordings as really “spatial,” it probably wouldn’t make much difference to me either way.

The best way to listen to Atmos-encoded music on Apple Music is with an Apple TV connected to a good multichannel home theater system, in my experience. It didn’t convince me that it was the Future Of Music (tm), but some of it did sound pretty good.

Illumos also effectively died when most of their corporate support switched to Linux. Had nothing to do with Oracle.

That said, I believe OpenIndiana is still being maintained, but their release cycle is rather slow.
> Oracle does care about open source

Counterpoints:

* Oracle killed OpenSolaris.

* Oracle killed OpenOffice (after refusing to hand grant trademarks & related IP to the community until it was too late - well after LibreOffice replaced it on most distros, then dumped it on the Apache Project).

* Oracle killed Hudson (after refusing to hand grant trademarks & related IP to the community until it was too late - well after Jenkins had replaced it on the market, then dumped it on the Apache Project).

* Oracle attempted to make case law such that APIs fall under copyright. Oracle appealed Google v. Oracle all the way up to SCOTUS. Since countless open source projects are re-implement proprietary APIs (e.g. S3 protocol, Wine/Proton), and adverse ruling would have been catastrophic.
About to have my first kid, have been thinking deeply about this and decided having my own storage server is the best route. ZFS raid with redundancy to survive 2 drive losses.

Will also backup offsite and take a manual snapshot each year for all my pics. Unlikely that I will backup the Plex-style media.

I am just as afraid of Google shutting off my account as I am about losing my own data.

I’ve been thinking about creating a service to back files up for 100+ years. I think s3 will be around that long, but the offering would need to survive the saas shutdown with a way to continue paying the bills. Could have an escrow fund to incentivize devs to maintain cloud storage integrations, with some sort of a voting mechanism for subscribers (crypto tokens for corp governance?)

Just putting a few half baked thoughts into the ether in case you find it interesting.

I'm from India and I use Fold¹ for this. They make money tracking easier using the account aggregator framework², which is provided by an RBI³ regulated entity. They are currently in invite-only for both iOS (beta) and Android (alpha).

They are very feature-rich and implement those with utmost care to design, UX and engineering. The team is small and everyone is committed to the goal of making finance easier and seen. All amazing people!

Highly recommended for people in India.

You haven't noticed... I guess you aren't taking a stand in your comments and getting people trying to rhetorically gut punch you in return, in the sense of instantly dismissing whatever experience you may have or ignoring the thrust of your argument and siezing upon a small thing and acting as if that's the only thing you said?

See what happens when you go against the cultural grain around here, man.

Or maybe I'm the only one experiencing it... But it's not all the time, or else I would stop commenting altogether.

(FWIW, the challenge you just made is reasonable and not any sort of abuse.)
The fog of confusion has already descended on the traditional media in a different way.

Modern economic pressures and incentives, as well as political ones, have made traditional media subservient to those, instead of the original ideal of informing the public.

Some still exist that serve that ideal but it has become almost impossible for the average person to separate these from the rest.

I am a huge fan, after I graduated from mint.com I've never looked back after finding Tiller.

You can customize to your hearts content (it's Google Sheets, after all), plus they have handy template sheets to get started with.

I personally have sheets to track my monthly spending (by category), my networth, my checking account balance vs sum of all credit card bills, my progress on credit card signup bonus minimum spend challenges are more.

I really wonder what's going to happen there as climate change keeps getting worse. One "obvious" solution to me is that building more nuclear power plants would help them get more electricity to help cool things and keep society going, but India is a pretty poor country...

None of the materials you listed are fluorinated polymers.

EDIT:

If you meant that I cant turn PEEK into a plastic (as in having plasticity) - sure.

But read my comment carefully. Im not saying fluorinated polymers don't have their use cases. Im just saying that for many (but not all!) applications of perfluorinated polymers, there are alternative ways of doing things. For example wool and stainless steel make excellent alternatives for jackets and frying pans.

Should nuclear (re)processing plants ditch teflon when dealing with UF6? Probably not. Should my gas fittings need teflon tape? No, alternatives exist.

I find the whole concept slightly scary. Some reasons for an online filesystem consistency check to fail are that the hardware has lied to the operating system about the success of some past operation, the filesystem has gone down a bad road and written garbage to a storage device, or the checker and the filesystem are inconsistent, with uncertainty about which side is correct. Under all those conditions I think I want my system to halt and log. Continuing seems like a real bad idea.

There are fault-tolerant ways of coding operating systems and filesystem but it does not seem like those ways are practiced by Linux.

The latest consumer reports suggests average level of repair ability in the 2023 Tesla line (https://www.consumerreports.org/cars/tesla/model-3/2022/reli...), not as bad as in the past.

However, I believe the company will reduce slack in the system in unhealthy ways as fits their corporate goals. More than other mfg.

In this case, moving slowly is an advantage. I just trust Ford to be able to support 100 millions cars on the road more than Tesla.

But thanks for checking my priors - I was still assuming it was 3+ month delivery time for eg bodywork.

The home battery, however, is really important to me. Buy a ford lightning and you get something like 8 powerwalls, with a truck for free.
This ignores potential current unpublished advances by entities like NSA and potential unforeseen future algorithmic and computing power advances. Logically speaking, larger keys could help and are unlikely to hurt with both. Even if larger key still ends up breakable, adversaries may still go for low hanging fruit.

Other than that, it depends on secrecy timeline and cost/performance sensitivity. An average credit card transaction is unlikely to be targeted by NSA or archived in hopes of cracking it 30 years later, and on the other hand volume is very high and latency is important. So use whatever is thought to not be breakable now and upgrade keys if and when technology progresses. On the other hand, list of American spies in Russia would not take more than a few minutes to decrypt even with enormous key sizes and on the other hand disclosure could cause real damage even decades later. Might as well overshoot even if there is no known reason as of yet.
Universities have Zero incentives to change things. They get the benefit of all the enrollment of the students that wouldn't otherwise enroll, also.

What I have never understood is why career counselors aren't advising students against the downside of getting into so much debt so early in life. Going to your dream school is nice but not if you have to pay for it the rest of your life. My counselor was all about applying to the best schools with little talk about costs.

Why aren't student's suing the counselors for malpractice?
The reason gamers want higher framerates is mostly for lower latency, faster reaction times, and a bigger advantage in online play. DLSS 3 'fakes' it's higher frame rates. As a result you might have 120 fps, but it's going to feel like 60hz. Personally, that inconsistency would drive me crazy. I'd rather use DLSS 2 performance than DLSS 3 quality.
I don't. I tried YNAB for a long time, but it just got too stressful.

I have been thinking, if I were to create a budget tracker, my hot take would be to make an imperfect one, aimed at people who don't need to budget "to survive" and so can make a mistake, overspend and then reign it in next month.

This software would just track the major source of discretionary spend: your credit card, and auto allocate to buckets using AI mostly, and maybe email you an alert if overspending (like the battery alerts from Ring!).

Any non credit-card account tends to be used for essentials like bills, mortgage and so on. Since I am not going to not pay those, it doesn't matter.

The idea is to say "can spend $10,000/m on credit card" or whatever, and go from there.

MVP: download credit card CSV, run some local python code to auto allocate and fire off email if there is an issue (there was an API to email thing posted on HN a while back).

This solution wasn't perfect. Although things were mostly resolved pretty quick, it led to one of the longest threads I've ever seen on the LE forums: https://community.letsencrypt.org/t/help-thread-for-dst-root...

IIRC one of the bigger problems was that older versions of OpenSSL did check root anchor expiration. But that wasn't all - at my then-employer we had a brief outage on some of our systems because Ubuntu had to patch something (I don't recall what) to deal with this, and they only released the patch a few days before the expiration. We had to mass-rebuild all our Docker images to fix the issue.

This workaround was so wild and unprecedented that I assume the cost difference vs. getting cross-sig from an unexpired (and widely compatible) root was massive for them to use it. There must have been a huge amount of testing involved. The fact that it went as smoothly as it did (mostly, but not completely) was impressive.
This because GM wants the recurring revenue from subscription services, etc., right? They're partnering with google for the software, probably some services, then they get to rent functionality to their customers.

I have two bad XFS experiences that stick out in my memory. I like XFS, don't get me wrong.

I ran XFS on our Linux distribution/package mirror. We ended up having some sort of error and the filesystem wouldn't mount, so I tried running the fsck. After around a day, it bombed out with out of memory. I scrounged around, took down another server or two to max out the memory on the mirror server and eventually was able to get it to complete the fsck in a couple more days.

For a while I ran XFS on my laptop. This was some Thinkpad that had fancy-pants graphics, and the graphics drivers made the system quite unstable It would oops every 2-4 hours of normal use. XFS had this bad habit at the time (long since fixed, IIRC) of reverting files to HOURS old data after the reboot.

A peer of this comment mentioned btrfs. Around the same time I played around with btrfs. For around a year I ran a couple of my company laptops on btrfs with zero problems. Then, after one set of updates, both of them completely corrupted their filesystems. I stopped using it, hoping that btrfs would fairly quickly stabilize, but have never ended up going back to it. I love the idea of btrfs, but am a bit gun-shy.

I used Reiser extensively for map tile file-systems, largely because their idea of a "small file" was 1-2 orders of magnitude smaller than most other filesystems. This particular use case was full world tiles, and a lot of them were solid blue (oceans, you know), I want to say 37 bytes. My current gig puts tiles on XFS and it works great for that.

ZFS is a filesystem that has never let me down. Performance can often be spotty, especially if you think you can use dedup, but I've had some pretty bad things happen to ZFS volumes and have never lost data on one of them. It's really the only place I'll put archive data. I've run a lot of backup servers using ZFS, even back in the days of zfsfuse, and it's just been a workhorse. Even in early days when zfsfuse had some pretty obscure bugs and would choke about every month or two. Kudos to the zfs+fuse developers, they quickly tracked down every issue I ran into once I had a stress test use case going.

EXT has been a real workhorse too. I've lost data, rarely, but considering it's 99% of the filesystems I've run over the decades... Pretty good track record.

Veritas vx on HP-UX was like a space age filesystem back in the mid '90s, but also was kind of painful. My memories of it are just vague and bad.

I'd love to have HAMMER under Linux. :-)
