Correct. Again, I don't think the implication you're making (that someone reading the original comment will think that is safe from a data recovery standpoint) is one any reasonable reader will make.

(PyPy was not abandoned.) I assume you might mean to ask "why wasn't PyPy adopted in some formal way into CPython" rather than a separate project, for which the answer is at least partially likely to be because it's a co

Do you have a source, that seems unlikely at face value to me, though I've never gone and looked for perception studies myself.

In my case (with beancount) an example transaction looks like: 2025-12-04 * "CON ED OF NY CECONY 251203~ Tran: ACHDW" Assets:Schwab:Checking -72.33 USD

Ooh hmm that's an interesting idea. I have wanted a reason to buy an Emporia Vue or something like that.

I went the "build a few PDF statement parsers" route. Some I wrote by hand using PyMuPDF, some I coerced Claude into writing (again using PyMuPDF) by uploading a sample bill (I'd never put my own data into an LLM but it'

Nice! That sounds really useful; in my case the KWH usage (and price/KWH) I pull directly out of the ConEd bill, so my only chance to notice those sorts of things would be post hoc looking back in time for big jumps in rate or usage I

I have my electricity bills tracking into a KWH commodity. It has been... effectively useless :D.

beancount is definitely fun. I also jumped on this bandwagon in 2025 and it's been a great archaeology experiment of digging through old emails and trying to find as much data as I can about what the heck this random checking transacti

I've tried nix-darwin a time or two in the past. Every few years when homebrew makes a "hostile" change and I get upset I consider trying it again (now most recently with changes to gatekeeper). I think I'll get to doing

It's not trivial for a mathematician to understand Lean code, but it's something that's possible to learn to read and interpret in a day (without then necessarily being proficient in how to write it). That's true though

What are you referring to? Inverting scroll wheel direction in macOS is trivial (and one of the first things I change), you just uncheck the "natural scrolling" checkbox.

I found this a few months ago and use it for something totally unrelated to containers -- namely on my Tailnet I have machines on my home LAN which I want to connect to even though they are asleep. I haven't been bothered to learn whet

Not directly relevant, but my PTAC in NYC started having issues this summer just as things got hot (of course). The compressor would come on for a few seconds then shut off. After 2 different HVAC companies quoted me $275 to come out (plus

Always a take which sprouts vehement arguments, but this is something macOS gets extremely right, as Cmd-C, Cmd-V, etc. indeed work everywhere including the terminal, and Ctrl-C in the terminal is reliably SIGINT.

Considering that part of the point is being able to use end-of-life devices, it's doing this in Termux that would be silly, don't run an OS which isn't getting security patches.

It's in at least 3 places on the homepage -- in 2 screenshots and in the first main code block you show. This was the first thing I noticed too, so I think it's good feedback from OP.
