alternatively, Adam executed the superior pricing strategy. had he charged for recurring licenses, would fewer people have signed up? would his subscriptions also be drawing down? i wouldn't have bought a sub, but i did pay for tailwin

Interesting! In a different comment, I took the other side: maybe it’s only worth tracking NW in hledger? Itemizing transactions is heavy duty bookkeeping effort, and I didn’t feel any directional value.

If ROI has diminished (maybe dopamine diminished?) then what keeps you motivated?

Maybe the right way to do this is to only track accounts, and no tracking of individual txns? Importing and tracking 401k contributions and stock dividends across multiple brokerage accounts - and then trying to handle timing differences (m

For transactions: you spot fraud, mischarges or subs to cancel. Really a watchdog service would be good here. High effort, low return. IMO. (And a bit of tracking around reimbursements) For savings: helps you keep an eye on where you’re at

I never found efficiency. For five months I imported and categorized my transactions - from payroll through food. I definitely had reports being generated (using hledger) but the amount of time I invested and the ROI wasn’t there. Had it be

Even when I pay, I’m still bombarded with ads. And you’re never going to get all the angles from a single source. So short of paying a couple thousand dollars, and still getting ads, many people become cheap in exchange for the cheap experi

I agree as well. This may be the only thing GraphQL excels at. Dataloader implementations give this superpowers. OpenAPI, Thrift and protobuf/gRPC are all far better schema languages. For example: the separation of input types and obje

just to be clear – this is a conspiracy theory (negative connotation not intended). every four years (at the federal level), we vote to increase the scope and power of gov't, and then crash into power abuse situations on the next cycle

i switched from alacritty -> ghostty, and occasionally use zed. i can't recall why i made the transition (maybe just to try it out, and it became default?). i can't think of any practical consequences of this transition. why do

I like this - and I think it’s a natural reality. When trust is low (for many reasons, including joining a new team), it may reduce risk to start with a design doc.

They wouldn’t send to WikiLeaks before - also, or instead? Do we have any evidence this initiative was ever staffed and effective? We’ve extended a lot of credit to a vested institution to police itself. That’s not worked out in other matte

I thought the same thing, but it seems that certain dates would make it so there is one square ("rhombus") and one (non-square) rectangle (e.g. Feb 15). So rather than 3 rhombuses – or 3 squares – perhaps it's 3 squares of 1

I worked in a C# shop for a bit, but never wrote LINQ and saw very little of it. However, in my Java days, I've very much enjoyed using streams. Looking back at LINQ now, it seems like a nice DSL around streams (which probably exist in

Yes, there was vibe coding throughout. Should've probably been an article about how vibe coding results in incorrect software.

This makes sense, but I wonder if there’s a place for DBOS, then, for each language? For example, a Rust library. Am I missing how a go library is useful for non-go applications?
