OK, yeah, that would be handy. Hated touch on the last laptop (Dell XPS of some sort), only ever touched it by accident or had _other_ people touch it by accident but this would be handy.
Actual budget is good. Connectivity in Australia sucks though so I've kludged my own approach (open banking connections to a single local aggregator then puppeteer to sign in and get an access token, then directly calling the aggregators internal APIs with it and pushing the data into a local Actual server using Actual's APIs).
non major updates in the npm ecosystem are pretty reliable in my experience; my much more limited python experience suggests that semver is much less respected on that side of the fence
postgres with rls to hide soft deleted records means that most of the app code doesn't need to know or care about them, still issues reads, writes, deletes to the same source table and as far as the app knows its working
I assumed it was the result of the "bubbling" that they describe in the video that also accounts for the grainy appearance of the surface; presumably the bubbling would be visible like this side on?
I don't really understand how whipping out your phone is harder than whipping out your card even if you don't have a watch. In my case I gave up carrying the cards at all a few years back and pay for everything on my phone anyway; the convenience of not needing a wallet or any cards at all is high.
US fees seem very high; Australia & New Zealand have a selling agent fee in the 2-3% range (+ variable vendor paid advertising on top) and buyers agents are uncommon so not a fee most pay at all.
Screenshots would have and I don't know why the author didn't add them when they have added them on Twitter[1]. I like the idea but still too low contrast for my personal preference.
I'm being informed by other Aussies that it's not consistent here either, lots of people seem to use it imprecisely as well. I'm actually a Kiwi (but have lived the most recent 15 years in Australia) so it seems I've been misinterpreting the Aussies for years...
I'd only say a couple of minutes if I thought two minutes was actually a likely time period, yeah, otherwise I'd say a few minutes if I was less certain.
Why does English ever have synonyms? I'm not saying you're wrong, clearly (as a a Kiwi) I've been misinterpreting Aussie usage, but "there's already another way to say that" is pretty common.
I'm a Kiwi living in AU; perhaps I've been misunderstanding Aussies all this time! I've never been aware that anyone would interpret it as anything other than exactly two, I'll have to bear this in mind.
Kiwi here, would never ever do that, I'd just say "a few". Amongst those few things there might be "a couple of apples" which would definitely mean exactly two, no more, no less.
