ledger can validate that all account names are pre-defined, are formatted in a specific way with regard to decimal and thousands separator, their currency specified and a few more things. (None of these are enforced by default, but for any

We also don't type in the ledger files directly, but rather than convert it from a free format note we use the comment field of the banking apps, and the comment field of the expense report app (we use Zoho), to indicate what account i

I guess it depends on where you live, but getting an electrician around here takes so much time and effort, not to mention money, you could by half way through to training for a journeyman degree by the time he shows up. Perhaps a downside

Nowadays `apt install ruby` on an ubuntu box will give you a reasonably up to date ruby that's more than adequate to run scripts. This is not like the old days where a script written on Ruby 1.87 would break on 1.9.

A server with fail2ban can be DOSed by sending traffic with spoofed IP addresses, making it unavailable to the spoofed IP addresses (which could be your IP, or the IP of legitimate users). That is typically a bigger problem than polluting y

Protectionism does almost nothing to prevent that comparative advantage from being built unless all other consuming countries in the market also add a tariff. And most of them will not. Using the WTO to coordinate a response is a much more

For queries like that I now turn to Gemini / ChatGPT first. Of course, this is only a good idea if I have some way of sanity checking the answer. If I doubt the answer I get back I try Google search instead.

How hard would it be to use this as an in-memory replacement for MySQL for testing, let's say, a Rails project? Given how important the DB layer is I would be careful to use something like this in production, but if it allows speeding

True enough, but if something breaks with a read-only SD you are relying on logging to a cloud service. So you reduce the chance of SD failure but introduce a risk of network failure. Of course, network failure doesn't have to be fatal

The regulation could have been much better though. For one, it's unclear if Google Analytics cookies qualify. Spain and Austria say one thing, The Netherlands says another, so out of an abundance of caution websites put them everywhere

ledger has a few powerful features that hledger lacks, for example in ledger you can create an "assert" statement that checks all your journal entries fall in the correct time period (easy to mess up if you copy/paste journal

My solution is to pick the file names in such a way that `include *.ledger` imports them in the right order (you need the latest version of ledger for that to work, in older versions the order was indeterminate)

My country also has a standard format (several actually). Ledger allows you to basically name any account anything you want, so you can follow that naming convention. The standard alphabetic ordering of `ledger balance` isn't very usef

Completely agree, my wish is that anything that risks getting complex uses a Ruby-based DSL. For example, I like using Capistrano, which is wrapper around rake, which is a Ruby based DSL. That means that if things get tricky I can just drop
