The inability to conveniently version control/differentiate/combine its database caused me to drop it after a data loss (not caused by GnuCash, but HW problems), when I had only a few month old backup and a corrupted current GnuCash savefile.

I have tried beancount (like ledger but in python) since, and I'm all into plain text accounting since. Also the UI of GnuCash always felt clunky and a bit incomprehensible at places.
I would have assume she had it before. Maybe they dropped it thinking Airbnb would actually cover things? I am assuming a landlord type policy would also cover Airbnb but maybe they exclude it?

I would never use Airbnb without it though.

These peppers though, after a point they're just comically hot for the sake of itself. I don't get it.

I do this. Sometimes I add the info the same day, or just do it all on the weekend. Probably takes 10 minutes a week. I can then take that info and compare to any budgets or predictions and see where things are going right or wrong.

I’ve had everything balance down to the penny for 20 years now. If you have some attention to detail and make it a habit, it’s not really that difficult or time consuming.

It’s also kind of like paying cash. It makes you more aware of what you are spending.

It depends on the country. In Russia many people use Telegram for work and for personal communication (almost every young person has it so you cannot say it is used mainly by criminals unless you count everyone as a criminal). Telegram also has channels, so you can for example read news or (if you are young enough) funny memes there. Also, Telegram is uncensored unlike web, so you can watch videos with exploding tanks if you are into this kind of stuff. But at the same time in Japan it has a negative image of an app used for shady things.

My main point was to remind that we too are at risk of suffering the same kind of authoritarianism we point our fingers to. Russia is currently being very blatant in how it uses trumped up charges to make an example of someone and discourage further opposition, but I felt obligated to remind everyone that they’re not the only ones.

The West does it less, and it does it more subtly, but everywhere I look (mostly Europe) there’s a substantial increase in the use of authoritarian practices. We’re not immune to full blown authoritarianism making a come back.
There’s a reasonable chance that you’ll strike a building or multiple newish cars in a collision for which you’re liable.

If I damage your property in a collision that’s my fault, I want to make you whole, regardless of whether you were in a 1982 Chevette or a 2023 Ferrari.

For confirmation it refers to a graphic dated 24-09-2023 which has to be dd-mm-yyyy and places the article after the ninth month.

There are very few countries that use mm dd yyyy, mainly just United States, Canada, and the Philippines with a few other minor cases.
That’s not correct. I’m a landlord of a rental duplex and homeowners insurance policy is a valid policy for the entire building. The Mortgage company does not allow a policy that doesnt adequately cover loss.

The point is this: rental property coverage is a solved problem. It is neither new nor novel problem. Water damage claims on rental properties are dealt with in the tune of hundreds of cases per month in this country if not more. Why is her’s so special?
Sum types are the right thing for a statically typed language.

Returning an error and a value as a product type with an implicit promise to ignore the value part if the error part has a specific value is not the right thing.

There's a credible chance sum types are the right thing in a dynamically typed language too but I haven't settled on exactly what what should look like yet. It's not a thing in the dynamic languages I know of.
I switched from Twitter to RSS in February to get my news. It's been great.
Meta has put in place policies to suppress sharing of information about what terrorist organizations like Russia, Iran, and Hamas are up to.

These same policies, if applied to the Holocaust, would put companies like Meta firmly on the side of Holocaust denial. Try to post about the attrocities committed by Russia in Ukraine, and you'll get demonitized, censored. Same deal if you try to post about what Hamas does to their own people, let alone Israelis.

They have allied themselves with organizations that masquerade as "fact checkers", but who just want to push a narrative. For example, reuters, who made the preposterous claim that Hamas didn't harm anyone at the music festival, when they in fact slaughtered hundreds.

CAF is Kafkaesque bullshit everyone knows is wrong but scurries forward through time like a cockroach because SCOTUS failed to invalidate it forcefully and it benefits the over-militarized police-bureaucracy complex. Also don't forget the genesis of the WoD was for Nixon and his cronies to criminalize being black (or a hippie). Having a pile of cash is like having a hammer: both have legitimate and illegitimate purposes, so it should only be allowed to be a secondary signal of suspicion in general Terry stop investigation rather than as probable cause ipso facto. This is a critical error in logic and encourages the corruption of police officers to turn them into criminal thieves who betray the rule of law.

Pointing out hypocrisy is not "whataboutism" it's just simply pointing out hypocrisy.

This "whataboutism" was invented as a way to avoid uncomfortable comparisons, you can find a lot of stories in the west where if you replace Countryname with Russia and the story would sound plausible, here you go: "Russian whistleblower who uncovered that the Russian government spied on all of its people has fled to the US to avoid being imprisoned in Russia", talking about Snowden of course.

I understand your point about the role of nationalism in Russian politics. However, it's crucial for us in the proverbial "West" to have a nuanced understanding of Navalny, because it's too easy to equate "political victimhood" == "purity of intentions".

I'm not questioning his courage or opposition to Putin; my aim is to highlight that his political ideology isn't straightforward.

Should he unexpectedly assume presidency, his past statements make it unclear whether he'd reverse Russia's actions in Ukraine, (but there would be a chance).

You should definitely look more into restructured text btw. It lets you build documents for many different formats, it has a nice way to reference sections of documents, add code support, and seems to have all the basic features you need. It is very similar to markdown but writing something in restructured text means you can output in just about any document format you need (its much better than markdown or html, imo.)

Your question about content and computation is difficult. When I was writing docs for my side project I would have liked to have done something similar to having an interpreter run in the page itself and have interactive code you can play with. But such an approach wasn't quite practical (ive seen some top-tier docs do this though!.) Though I ended up writing all my code examples in such a way that they're tested in the unittests. So I at least know if anything breaks.

Good luck with the project

> If “hits” don’t correlate to actual product sales

But that's kinda what I was targeting. I have friends that make a living by successfully funnelling their Twitter followers to Substack. What is a product sale for NPR? For some reason, NPR's KPI is measured by CTR for tweets like this:

"Disney's animated hit movie Moana is getting a live-action remake, the company announced Monday. The new version of the 2016 movie is under development, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, who played the character Maui, said in a video."

Why would anyone click on that? It doesn't make much sense to me.

Firefox profiles are poorly-documented but much more hackable than they look. Just dig around in the profiles filesystem directory.

user.js is a config file you can put your default preferences into, and clone into new profiles:

https://kb.mozillazine.org/User.js_file

(The stuff you configure in the Firefox UI goes into prefs.js, which has the same format).

Things like bookmarks and browsing histories are sorted in places.sqlite. You can clone/transfer/sync those with whatever sqlite tool.

https://kb.mozillazine.org/Places.sqlite

I've never tried it, but you can probably transfer entire browsing sessions from sessionstore-backups/. I've used those to rescue lost tabs which Firefox failed to recover auto-magically. The compression format is idiosyncratic; Debian has an out-of-the-box tool for working with it — lz4jsoncat from the package lz4json.
That's not quite the right way to analyze it, because AirBnB's response (or lack of one) will be part of the story that gets amplified.

Yep. The issue with tests that are heavy on interfaces and mocks is that they are "too close" to the code - if refactoring is changing code while tests stay green, how can you refactor when any change to any method breaks a test?

Swapping out interfaces to code-gened interceptors and keeping everything else the same, doesn't look like it would improve this underlying issue at all.
I have ordinary homeowners insurance that will cover me if I’m an idiot in my own house that I live in, or if a casual guest is an idiot.

You simply can't use digital components in high radiation environments. In borderline cases you can implement fault tolerance. This is a big topic and simple explanations with analogies does nothing besides give an inaccurate picture. The type of radiation (the particle), the speed/energy of each particle, the rate of particles passing through your surface area over time, process node size, process topology, and the details of the circuits themselves all play important roles. In many scenarios where you expect errant bit flips but minimal long term damage. Errant bit flips often put circuits in a state that has no typical entry or exit, so the device latches up and needs a power cycle.
Correct! My schizoaffective disorder bipolar type is actually a spiritual issue at its core.

When people tell me about their psychedelic trips, I am like, so? I’ve been doing it my whole life without drugs!

However, my tendency to go on these trips are highly affected by environmental variables. So the only thing I would add is, it’s a mix between the spiritual and the material And we cannot negate either.

So all these therapist and psychiatrist trying to cure me are taking the wrong tact. What I learned is I needed to understand it, and understanding it alone is the cure.
I am currently writing and formatting a very long document using:

- Pandoc Markdown and Pandoc : https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html

- PagedJS : https://pagedjs.org/

- Make & Python as glue and helpers for compilation

I manage my references using Zotero like any other academic writer. The configuration is less than 100 lines and I can get a pretty solid result using only basic HTML/CSS skills intertwined with Markdown. You sometimes end up with weird formatting issues but there is nothing you can't fix using HTML/CSS/JS. My manuscript has images, figures, tables, code, etc...

It's good to see people trying to tackle the problem of formatting documents again. LaTeX is good but not for everything and the ecosystem is extremely hard to understand. Word, Pages and other similar tools are... proprietary. What would be a game changer for my use case is to see something like Scrivener with more formatting/layout options: https://www.literatureandlatte.com/scrivener/overview
I used it for a while and I found that it is not worth my time. It's a good piece of software but it's too much for my needs.

The old collection initialisation syntax has always felt clunky compared to many other languages, especially with more complex Dictionary types.
At the same time it feels funny going back to having the type defined first since many have spent years converting explicit 'Type foo...' into 'var foo...' because the linter suggested it.
Then again, perhaps this is one step towards more type inference and being able to leave out the type in more places

Genocide sometimes isn’t apparent until you’re looking at it in retrospect. Today we’re seeing Israel carpet-bombing Gazans. We see settler colonialism wiping out the indigenous population of the West Bank. If you read most of the Wall Street Journal’s media on Palestine, all of them scream war and retribution (in words for polite society, of course). I can’t convey to you in a few words their overall bias, but that’s has been my experience with the WSJ, from defending Netanyahu’s judicial reform to calling for blood and destruction at any cost for Israel’s enemies.

The genocide of the Palestinian people continues. They are being carpet-bombed and 1.1 million have been asked to evacuate their homes within 24 hours. If that’s not genocide and ethnic cleaning, what is it? In past years, that is precisely how we ended up with Palestinian refugees in Lebanon and Jordan—they are refugees from previous Israeli offensives. This is nothing but a continuation of that.
People think that Excel is the most used "programming language" in the world. Which may or may not be true.

But the one truth is this: the world runs on broken Excel spreadsheets.

People have no idea. The number of decisions taken higher up the chain based on wrong numbers are beyond belief.

If you've ever been tasked to rewrite a semi-advanced Excel spreadsheet to a dedicated (web)app, you know.

I'm a coder and I do use spreadsheets (not Excel though). Spreadsheets in the hands of programmers are okay.

But thinking that somehow because Joel Spolsky can use advanced Excel features, regular people can too, then you're being completely delusional.

You can't have it both ways: either it's the most used programming language in the world and it has to be used by programmers, or it's a recipe for incorrectness.
Is anyone making instrumentation and/or isolation amplifiers using this?

I don't think it will be able to compete with AD/TI laser trimming resistors in complicated packages, but there's a lot of value in lower performance, inexpensive, radiation tolerant analog ICs.
Nice to see this so I can convince a fellow tech lead that the reason that we’re creating interfaces for every class has nothing to do with future extensibility and has everything to do with maintaining unit tests and that even official MS sources think that’s the case (he doesn’t believe in anything until an MS based source says it).

And Unit tests make especially little sense in the specific service I’ve been talking about because all the logic is in the Stored Procs it calls. The service itself simply forwards that data.
