The reasoning might not sound crazy, but the result is that a founder based in Hong Kong, opening a holding in Singapore, and creates a subsidiary in Germany is much much better of…

how did you do it? My co-founder is in a similar situation, and his tax-lawyer said the only way was via a trust - they also have a German holding. Do you have to declare that some…

This means the person has to move to a country with 0% income tax for this to make any economic sense, so that's either Monaco or the UAE then. Very difficult for me to understand …

apart from those weird file attach issues I actually think they've got a much better UI than anthropic as well - much much snappier even with extremely long chats (in addition to m…

just a question for understanding - if we say 'it learns', does it mean it actually learns this as part of its training data? or does this mean it's stored in a vector DB and it re…

yes, it's a form of double-entry bookkeeping - that's the base. If it weren't double-entry then indeed it would be a pretty poor choice. This design enforces double-entry at a fund…

you simple create two records linked by one 'transaction', the source in both cases is the same account, while the destination for one of those postings is the fee account and the …

yes, agree, I think a 'source' 'destination' model is significantly more straight-forward. Just record the 'source' account and the destination account and you essentially end up w…

absolutely not true btw - the largest use-case for stable-coins atm are people evading capital controls in emerging markets, including China, India, Nigeria, and similar, and in ma…

or just use bun? used to also face all these issues - but with bun it's mostly gone for now (and for newer projects) - hope it stays that way!

Would recommend to try out anthropic sonnet 3.5 for this one - usually generates decent unit tests for reasonably sized functions

this is the thing with JS and TS - the types and stuff, it's all good until you realise that all integers are basically int 52 (represented as float 64, with 52 bits for the fracti…

People just have less tolerance for errors using apple products.. that doesn't mean that other LLM companies sell snake-oil, people just have a higher error tolerance for them and …

Yes, all true - apart from treating errors as values and including them function signatures... That should simply be something every modern language should ship with

shipped extra fast!

We've been building a source/destination ledger at nxos (and I've worked with similar systems in the past). The relationship between debits and credits in such a ledger wasn't alwa…

Hey everyone! I wrote a blog post about building a simple double-entry ledger using just simple SQL. It covers implementing a ledger with source and destination accounts, using a s…

maybe that's really where the business here is.. working through a whole bunch of custom data-sets and trying to generalise from there. It'll be hard to generalise all of it, but I…

and once again - another year with a great iPad Hardware wise but essentially unusable for coding tasks software wise.. Would love a reason to buy one and use as a travel coding ma…

GraphQL basically only really works with monoliths that share the same access-pattern (either everyone logged in, or everyone logged out), it's otherwise a pain to merge multiple d…

I can spend more times at my friend's place, maybe have a beer or two without having to worry about driving back - so I think it encourages socialisation

yes - and writing code also doesn't solve a technical problem, a computer runs fine with 0s and 1s, no need for code, in fact code produces a performance overhead - but it solves a…

for Fintechs who're using Stripe as a way to allow users to purchase stock/remittances/e-wallet balances etc. instant payouts are very important since in most cases people who load…
