I did mean bank statement, thank you. I'm aware of how reconciliation works. I'm actually an accountant by trade. $1000 is a trivial transaction of course, but reconciliation becomes challenging when its thousands of transactions

I disagree with this. This might be fair and technically correct on paper, but we don't use paper anymore. Transactions with more than two line items are by far the most common method of recording transactions. In fact, I'd probab

Agreed. I maintain a paper zettlekasten and have for about six months, but still growing strong. The key factor in deciding on paper is that the hard parts are 1. Writing at all, then 2. What to write. Software doesn't solve either of

Doomberg is also on substack: https://doomberg.substack.com/ If the only metrics on sensibility of fuel is the rate of re-forestation, sure burning wood makes sense, but that's not the only metric. It's heavy and

I'm also a CPA and develop software now (there are dozens of us!). I think part of this is that the perception among devs is that accounting is too complicated, and therefore can be radically simplified in software, which can be true,

Accounting is also a strange field because its a bunch of almost unrelated fields stuck together. Accounting covers financial accounting (dealing with recording transactions, representing reality, etc), tax, management and cost accounting (

One of the big advantages of double-entry accounting is that it lets you model pretty complicated events in a simple way. I think its a common misconception that transactions have two sides to them, debits and credits. It probably comes fro

This is a pretty good article about the basics! I'm a CPA who is now working in the tech space. I've helped work on some accounting software and other finance-type processes. I'm happy to answer any questions if anyone has th

My parents are from Canada, and when my dad was in the Navy in the 1980s, he was deployed to the UK. His biggest story is that they couldn’t buy peanut butter and Kraft Dinner except at the Base, which was obviously a problem. I travelled t

This line of thinking has never made sense to me. We spend billions worldwide combatting diseases that mostly impact people over the median age of death and with other co-morbidities. Heart disease mostly kills old and obese people, but no

I have a bachelor of arts in history, most of a bachelor of commerce and the CPA designation. I was into programming and computers when I was a kid and in high school but for whatever reason I decided I didn't want to study computer sc

This is an unbelievable debate for me as a citizen of a smaller city with a much less developed system. Our system is so far away from being able to accurately time trains like this that asking whether it should be door close or train movin

I’d take that. The Canadian pattern is over budget poorly implemented.

Agreed. This sort of issue has been public knowledge about Twitter for a long time. This sounds to me like an excuse to delay or get out with plausible deniability.

I live in Ottawa now, but I grew up in the GTA and spent most of my summers on Lake Ontario. You're right, there's something mystical about it. Also, just wanted to share my favourite love letter to the lakes: https://w

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. Unfortunately most of the (probable) evidence is under meters of water and mud.

This is very annoying for me too! I am North American, but work for a European company, and my Windows and Office locale settings are all screwed up, and consistency reset themselves whenever I try to fix it.

As an aside, the link at the top of the article ( http://www.starwave.com/people/naughton/book/ ) interestingly enough redirects now to disney.com.

This is really interesting. As a non-U.S. based and infrequent traveller, I had always just assumed that you lost the value of the ticket if you missed the trip. I never really understood sitcoms where no one seems to care if they missed th
