These studies appear extremely interpreted here indeed. This is a window into this soft-science research that shows I guess how real the study reproducibility crisis can be. Already the variability in outcomes points to serious methodological and interpretation issues.

> The author of the paper is not competent in the subject matter.

Yeah, sure, quite possible (I have no idea). But then he needs to be kicked out explicitly for not being competent in the subject matter. Because kicking him out (at least ostensibly) for a ridiculous made-up language issue sets the precedent that people can -- should? -- be kicked out for ridiculous made-up language issues.

I mmean... Isn't that the point of this whole thing? Which makes your technical qu-- well, sure, perhaps your quite valid technical issues, but in the context of him being kicked out ostensibly for some totally different and definitely invalid "reason", a quibble -- isn't your point then rather irrelevant to the actual point of the discussion?

I have used bullet journaling in various forms for about 12 years, ever since Evernote had a collab with Moleskine and then Evernote went to shit, but I kept up the habit of pen and paper note taking and journaling.

The idea of a future log for your next 6-12 months and then Monthly planning to work towards it, and then weekly planning to make the monthly stuff happen is almost automatic at this point.

Plus being able to look back at the entire year and see what you did and how each goal is progressing is really great.

And how does that work when the 'required reserve' is zero as it is now, and has been in the rest of the world since time immemorial?

Nobody deposits in a bank - it's just a retag of an existing deposit. The bank Debits a loan account with the amount owed, and Credits a deposit account with the advance. It's a simple balance sheet expansion in double-entry bookkeeping.

I'm really not sure why this myth persists given that central banks debunked the concept over a decade ago.

Loans create deposits, and those deposits are then converted into bank capital when a deposit holder buys bank capital bonds or equity.

That's part of it, and I would say a relatively small part -- something akin to a plot device. For the book is also about one's family, and one's labor, and about the dignity of individual man relative to the dignity of man's political society. (The latter comes off much the worse.) It is a remarkable book.
If you live in a developed country it should be sufficient to ask them to account for it with a note that a formal complaint will be sent to relevant authorities if nor dealt with in timely manner.

Its not at all dishonest, I would argue it is a lot more honest than not mixing it.

The current discussion around energy sources is basically always centered on electricity, which is only part of the picture. Given that in most industrialized countries industry as well as heating accounts for a substantial share of primary energy use, its dishonest to not take those sectors into account.

Having 100% nuclear clean energy doesn't help you at all when electricity only accounts for 20% of your primary energy usage. That is not intellectually bankrupt, that is just common sense.

If electrification of heating as well as mobility continues to increase, looking at renewable energy as a share of primary energy consumption will paint a way clearer picture than any other stat.
In Sweden advertising aimed at kids is illegal, and has been for a long time. But "social media" is bizarrely aimed at kids, or at least kids are extremely susceptible to what influencers are doing. My 10-year old has a wish list this year with about 70 beauty products. It makes me kinda sick.

The problem: me banning social media completely (instead of limiting which we do now) would not help completely, since all her friends use it and would influence her anyway.

Not quite. The deposit is paid to the borrower as an advance, and the deposit is transferred to the payee (or the receiving bank if the payee is at another bank)

The liability can never vanish - balance sheets have to balance. Bank liabilities are what we call 'money'. Hence how you are 'in credit' at the bank.
Does anyone here work at Tidal?

Hi there. Tidal... The only reason I still use Spotify is that your search is quite bad. I would love it to be more fuzzy and include approximate results so I can actually find music in it. I have to be TOO exact/specific when searching for something to actually find it, especially if it's niche music.

I would also like it to be easier to drag music between playlists/search results.

If you fix those 2 things, I will switch. A good search is the only reason Spotify has me hooked.

The Software Engineering department next door from my CS department had a mandatory course on accounting. I don't think CS needs accounting, but I did learn two skills that would have helped here: why one should never use floating point for money (which may not apply here, who knows), and how to stick to a formal specification. "Money is neither lost nor created" is the most trivial example one can think for an invariant.

Relatedly, some months ago I asked how to correctly record food in a double-entry bookkeeping system [1] and it triggered a 1300-words, 8-levels-deep discussion. We should remember more often than accounting is a degree by itself.

> It is quite practical to have only a simple amount column rather than separate debit/credit columns in a database for journal entries. As long as we follow a consistent pattern in mapping user input (debit = positive, credit = negative) into the underlying tables, and the same when rendering accounting statements back, it would remain consistent and correct.

Another benefit of Credit / Debit side on double-entry bookkeeping is you need to balance both side in a single transaction. Say if the user account 2003201 is in Credit and it got an addition of 1000 value, a same value need to be added on Debit side. If it's (1) a cash topup, then 1000 value need to be added to Cash account (let's say 1001001) on Debit side. Otherwise if it's a transfer (2) from another user account 203235, then the account need to be Debited 1000 value as well.

It's Asset = Liabilities + Equity, while the left equation is Debit (which increase value when a Debit transaction happen, and the right equation is Credit, which increase when a Credit transaction happen. In (1) case, the cash account increase since it's on Debit account, while in (2) case, the user account decrease because it's a debit transaction on Credit account.
Building fintech platforms are not easy, specially for large systems which not only require robustness, scale, but also traceability, daily reconciliations. We even had features to undo and redo (correct and replay) transactions from a time in history.

I did not like finance much, but building a fintech system really teaches a lot, not only from technology perspective but from managing stakeholders, processes, compliance, dealing with all kinds of finance-specific issues.

One should always work in fintech, at some point of time in career.

IMO it's entirely wrong, and it also makes it a lot more difficult to programmatically create transactions with 3+ legs (For example: A payment with a line item + sales tax).

I think the author is just wrong on that point, but the rest is sound. (Source: I've built bookkeeping software)
> obscurity mechanism

I am wondering: could you store the signing keys on a Fido2 device? Or in a crypted file?

I would think this would not be mere obscurity, as this makes sure that just being root does not give you access to the signing keys.

I stay on Spotify because Tidal's search is bad. Whenever I fire it up and search for music I literally have to type the full artist name sometimes. If I'm off by 1 letter it will often not find the song for me. This is especially true when not searching for particularly unpopular tracks. I would have switched to Tidal ages ago if I could actually find music when I wanted it.
You transaction includes multiple entries. Your schema is multi-entry by definition :P

It's funny how many commentators here confuse debit/credit with double-entry.

You mean labels and distributors, the money goes through a lot of people before the artists see any of it.

As someone developing with both Nuxt and Next, I find these "full-stack" JavaScript libraries and frameworks really confusing and difficult to grok. I understand the benefit of only having one ecosystem to worry about (JS/TS in Node and browser) but I'm not convinced that having backend and frontend in the same codebase is actually a good idea. It might be due to being a more "old school" full stack developer, but this new wave of of SSR-led full-stack frameworks is tricky.
No he isn't, here's a recent tweet of his that explains his position:

"This also highlights the huge difference between the "LGB" and the "T''. The gay rights movement just asked society to leave them alone and let them get married. No impositions on my life. The trans movement demands that I adopt their new dialect (or I'm a bigot) and allow males to play in girls sports (or I'm a bigot). Big impositions."

I solved my problem with eating well and created an App around it
Cooking was always a source of stress for me. I’d look at my fridge, see random ingredients, and have no clue what to make. After years of struggling to eat well while balancing my day job and sideprojects, I decided to build EasyChef, a mobile app that completely simplifies meal planning.
With EasyChef, you:
• Input whatever ingredients you have at home.
• Instantly get creative recipe ideas tailored to your preferences.
• Follow step-by-step instructions to make cooking quick and easy.
The app also remembers your preferences, so the more you use it, the better the suggestions get.
To grow the app, I’m leveraging programmatic SEO—user-generated recipes are stored and periodically published on the web, driving consistent organic traffic. On social media, I’m experimenting with TikTok and Instagram, sharing fun, AI-generated cooking content to engage users.
If this sounds like something you’d find useful or you have ideas on how to improve it, I’d love to hear your thoughts!
Very few Americans have personal ID so if they intend to do business in America, they should be prepared to accept drivers licenses.

Maybe they just don't want to sell to Americans, which is always allowed I guess, but setting up an American VPS provider and not accepting the standard American KYC verification methods would be a rather incompetent way of doing business. It'd be no different from doing business in Europe and only accepting drivers licenses and not accepting passports/ID cards for identity verification.

This is really cool, I like it a lot! I don't think the parens in lisp are actually the problem, I think it's the embedding. I.e. List programps naturally tend to get very nested very fast, kinda like this:

(-

(+ (* 3 4)

(- 3 1))

3)

It's just a simple sum, but reading it involves a lot of remembering contexts and how things should work in lisp. The CWP examples uses arrow/pipeline style macros a bunch, which are awesome! I kinda feel like they already solve the issues that a lot of people have with parens:

(->> 3

(* 4)

(+ (- 3 1)

(- 3))

There's still a tonne of parens there, but the flow is a lot more readable for me.

Edit: sorry for the very difficult to read code formatting - couldn't figure out how to monospace things in hackernews.
Auth.js isn't really by Vercel even if they scooped up the creator and stuck one of their "powered by" stickers on it... it does have a fun tie-in with Rauch's cartel though

I'm not sure what you mean by that. There's multiple accounts to invite. Do you mean a shared group?

I actually just tested creating a google group now, but indeed you cannot invite a group to a shared photo album.

Creating multiple shared albums, and sharing each album individually, manually, every single time, is super cumbersome. Plus I don't think the other users see the list of shared albums anywhere.

A huge shame given how great of a photo gallery app Google Photos is.
I suppose it depends on which branch of Buddhism people are talking about.

You're not wrong but it's a very understandable mistake when the footer has a big old "powered by Vercel" logo and the creator works for them.
