Indeed! https://www.gnucash.org/

It was consistent, and now it's transparent and user-friendly.

Yes, hledger generates useful reports including trial balance, p&l

That doesn't seem to be the case. The UN has a legal definition of genocide, and the assertion is that the criteria are met. So what's the change in definition?

I'm a wet blanket, but I despise documentaries that lie about the sound of their recording. I was pretty far into adulthood before I realized most nature docs have fake audio. The backing track of this video helps me know there is no useful audio for this video - no Foley or ambient mic. It's not quite as narrative as Ride of the Valkyries, granted ;)

I'm going to assume soldering on the main board is far outside the ability of most users. They're not through hole, big green boards like I learned on.

It is certainly awesome for those that can, of course!

> Why did the stock market go up 20% relative to pre pandemic levels? Have another explanation? Who was buying these shit coins?

These are rhetorical questions and frankly kind of silly. You're implying that the poorest, unemployed Americans temporarily receiving $600/wk caused the creation of shitcoins. There are so many leaps and bounds and no context. So no, I can't offer you another explanation.

> Congress passed an expansive relief package with an unprecedented $600-per-week supplement for jobless workers. The goal was to replace their wages so they could survive the economic lockdown.

> As a result, though, many people may now be eligible for substantially more money while unemployed

According to your source, "Some people were paid more in benefits than they made working" was only true for the very poor.

The link to shitcoins is dubious. It strikes me like the 21st century equivalent of complaining how folks spent money on nice cars.

A/B testing the removal of a browser standard gives me pause. Is there precedent for that?

TiddlyWiki can replicate itself. All users can freely edit any TiddlyWiki and save their changes to their filesystem. There's a few options for exports.

It is a common gotcha that new users will lose some of their work while they learn persistence.

> What's the target market of your business?

> It feels like every commercial offering I've seen is for extremely rich people's "dream houses"

You nailed it! I don't want to say much more because I do enjoy my scant little paycheck to build the moat SAAS

> In an ideal world this should incentivise...

> We don't live in an ideal world though...

Yes. That was thoroughly established in the original comment and my reply. Have you come to look for an argument? Or to show off how pragmatic you are? What's your point besides "shit sucks?" If that's your point, I'm glad to commiserate. Shit sucks.

An ideal world doesn't look like land owners building moats.

I work in energy/home automation. I'm burnt out.

Shitty reply and this critique isn't helpful at all. You assumed the most interesting part; the thing you personally want.

Harsh? Maybe, but you're posting this to a site with some of the most jaded developers on the planet. Not sorry.

Thanks for sharing your experience.

A different one, but the spotted lanternfly finally found my grapes. I'm at a total loss for how to protect them. The local university is studying oils and sprays, but they don't have any guidance yet.

The wheel bug is the first predator to realize the lantern fly is a tasty morsel. I hope we can continue coaching other insects to eat the invasives.

Might be off by a few orders of magnitude there. Even 10,000 trees would represent 0.006% of the trees in my state. (Hint: it's the smallest one.)

There are estimates that 13-25% of tree growth in our state has died over the last decade. That's closer to 50 million.

A basket maker might see an exchange beneficially. Splints are a great resource. I suspect the outer splints to be a little worse for wear.

Can ash splints still be made from the trees they infest? Do you burn the trees? Very curious to hear more about your experience

From a fellow classically trained artist, I too feel disenchanted with my BFA.

I'm surprised so many folks defend the university system for fine arts. It's a relatively modern notion, as in only a few decades! Historically, arts education is provided in museum, academy, apprentice, and/or community settings. Academic (as in the modern university system) art is still in its early stages and deserves criticism. I assume much of our cohort are in a worse position for their commitment to an art degree.

> There is existing technology to extract co2

Source? As I understand it, co2 sequestration is still in R&D and not viable at scale. We can hit neutral, like a tree does, but that doesn't improve the situation. Like desalination, it sure seems like an easy problem but is not.

> And, by various universality theorems, a sufficiently large AGI could approximate any sequence of human neuron firings to an arbitrary precision.

Wouldn't it become harder to simulate a human brain the larger a machine is? I don't know nothing, but I think that peaky speed of light thing might pose a challenge.

> but that is misleading in an educational context where there are much simpler computers that are definitely fully understandable.

Are there any other projects or resources in this space that you'd recommend?

A friend and I cut our teeth on those AlphaSmart word processors that ran BASIC. I might could wrap my head around that.

> Fully understandable by a single person

Riddle me this, Batman.

What's the scope of "fully understandable?" How much of this home PC could be reasonably audited by individuals or small teams?

I've got no exceptional opsec needs as an individual, but I spend some time wondering the minimum required resources to audit a PC. Looking through the docs I see cases where there are multiple suppliers for a recommended part -- that's very cool!

As a "fake programmer" and web jockey, this looks like the right balance of complexity to learn with.

> Preference disagreement: I absolutely need my workspace to be different from my gaming space, or I’d go totally nuts

Preach. I made this wonderful office for myself. It's got name brand monitor stands, I only need one cable, the desk mat is cute, and there's a huge pegboard for all my work hardware.

After a month or so, I preferred working on the kitchen table with a laptop. Brains are funny things.

Did anyone convince you to pay for a remarkable? ;)

It's managed to fill a niche for me, but no magical experience and probably not worth the price. In retrospect, I was "keeping up" with wealthier coworkers.

All process messages written in beautiful calligraphy.

This was written and edited by folks who lived in the USSR, so we know that these people held complexity. More than "just..."

Just is a great word. It alerts the author and reader that there's little substance in the claim. Just trust me!

Yes and no. Magazines, newspapers, highly profitable restaurants, and professional publications employ food photography. The local greasy spoon did not. Now instead of sloppy burgers and pizza pics, I get weird AI blobs of pepperoni. (Real example.)

Dressing up a pizza so it photographs well is different than an AI generated pizza. Maybe I cannot perfectly articulate that, but I'm confident

It's been assumed that three-letter agencies operate many exit nodes for a hot minute. I don't know if this is a special case of infiltration because it's TOR SOP.

And quartz, of course.

Thank you for clarifying. I opened that screenshot prepared to be amazed by blackness... My mistake ;)

You must understand that a screenshot of your black balance cannot translate to another screen?
