I just use gron then grep for what I'm looking for.

What is this an argument for?

That education should be publicly funded? Agree.

More education on financial literacy before college/university/ageOf18? Agree.

That adult's should not be held responsible for financial decisions made at 18? Disagree.

You made a decision and are dealing with the results. I don't see the issue.

If you "didn't know" how to do math (I learned the math required in high school, perhaps you didn't), you could have spent an afternoon learning what you needed to make a decision affecting the rest of your life.

Here it is in 5 minutes:

30K per year, 4 year degree, 120K total.

Calculate payments of 120K loan with X% interest over term of Y years. Mortgage calculators all over the place will work as substitute if you can't do it yourself.

Decide if this is what you want to do.

That's a cop out. I'm nearly 40 as well, and I know I was making coherent financial decisions at 15. Expecting individuals to think rationally at 18 is completely valid.

I will admit though, a lot of my peers at that age were making dumb decisions, but quite a few knew they were doing so at the time, and did it anyway. Their concerns were not for the future, and they readily admitted as much. Facing the consequences later in life is the result.

For everything except web browsing, I use the terminal.

neovim - text editor

aerc - email

nzbget - usenet

irssi - chat

mpv - audio

still hoping for gemini to take over for a full terminal experience.

Where do you all think that money in your savings accounts comes from (originally, not your immediate counter-party)?

Government spending. The government (or FED) are the only ones that can spend more money into existence.

Just imagine what will happen if the government starts to seriously make big changes to reduce that debt. Deflation is my guess, unless the FED prints to counteract them. In which case the "debt" just changes hands.

For the internet points. Once you can convert them to dollars, I'll be in great shape.

The same reason we call the UK with a monarchy a democracy. They vote for their government.

> Democracy (From Ancient Greek: δημοκρατία, romanized: dēmokratía, dēmos 'people' and kratos 'rule'[1]) is a form of government in which the people have the authority to deliberate and decide legislation ("direct democracy"), or to choose governing officials to do so ("representative democracy")

no, you have to win by two games. So you have to be able to win once with your opponent serving.

does it work with "tls internal" or do the certs need to be signed by an outside CA for HTTP/3 to be enabled.

the "quick maths" way is 2000 hours/year

50 weeks, 40 hours per week. Dividing/Multiplying by 2 in your head for quick estimates easy.

For more accuracy, do what you did.

mpv is not for you.

I think it's perfect.

yeah, the exe running the server (Go in the current case) has access to all that.

I don't get these projects. If you're going to write an html/js app, why not just launch the web browser against the local url of your app?

tabs vs spaces boils down to concern for others

using tabs means everyone else can view the file with as many spaces as they want

using spaces forces everyone else to view the file exactly as you see it

Yep, that's the one I remember.

This reminds me of a community of users that "tweet" by placing a line in a text file served at the root of their web servers. They follow by polling each other's text files.

Simple format, something like "RFC3339 <message>" and you can mention by doing @nick<their txt url> or something like that.

I forget the name and community though.

Question for terminal email users.

What do you use on mobile? Do you not bother having email access on your phone? Or do you ssh into a tmux session somewhere? Or do you have a client on your phone in addition to using terminal at the desk.

I wrote my own[1] version of ledger-cli[2] that was a lot simpler in the format it accepts, but has features outside of the format, in the program, to do what I need/want. I have an import feature for csv files, a web interface for reports and portfolio tracking, and the usual cli features from the original.

I've got about 15+ years of transactions in a single file, and I have every intention of continuing forever.

I've been so impressed by how well plain text works for this, I always try to use plain text for as many other things as possible. Future proof. I got burned by MS Money going away, no proprietary formats again if I can help it.

Neat. I decided to play

I may be wrong, but aren't you doing two loops by doing it that way? One for the select, and another for the map? Or does ruby compile out the select loop with smarts.

In Go, the intuitive way would be one loop with an if inside it. So it would be easy to spot this performance issue if you did it the ruby way with two loops.

I bet I wrote my for loop as quickly as you wrote your map. The character count isn't that much higher.

It seems to me that most people view "time" as it "exists" in the universe as though there infinitely many infinitesimal sequences of "snapshots" of the universe in a linear line, upon which you could (if time travel was possible) jump between them.

I was always under the impression that time as we know it is merely an idea and variable we add to equations to explain the motion we perceive. We see one thing happen after another thing, and conjure up the idea of time to capture a duration between the two occurrences. This duration of course only being relevant to us in our shared reference frame of earth, and because we have the ability to form memories, and experience duration.

That's how it has been for a while, as the bank of England paper explains.

The key is that the bank is "on the hook" for being able to get that money back eventually. So they don't just loan indiscriminately.

Where can one buy these bonds?

Please enlighten us with your wisdom with just a few examples, since you know of infinite paths.

You're listening to experts that can't do math. 20 yrs x $40k is $800k. Did the other $200k vanish??
