Hehe, that's creative. But I'd say - if you're making it that complex, just use a boolean column and a timestamp column separately instead, if you really need the timestamp, and ma…

The OP does not talk about events, OP talks about state and when it was set. There's no where in the article that OP restricts themselves to discrete events that may or may not hav…

I'd assume most languages don't have a problem with distinguishing between nil and false. The article explicitly maps nil to false, thus I don't see the relevance of your comment.

To stay in your simplified universe, consider just two entities, A and B. A has all $100K, B has $0. - A loans $100K to B at 10%. - B buys raw materials from A for $100K and create…

If you would like to learn why this common myth is false, I would recommend the book "The Ascent of Money: A Financial History of the World", which in one of its chapters explains …

Hehe, good news I guess! Just hit reply on the digest if/when anything comes to mind :)

Hey, developer of hndigest here, thanks for being a happy user, and great to hear that it's helping you :) Anything I can do to make it even better?

Indeed, I too had difficulty finding exact information on this new change. I then stumbled upon the PwC tax alerts where it was very transparently explained. Personally I wouldn't …

Considering that this would be pretty easy to prove, but no one has yet, Occam's razor says this most likely was something else entirely. One possible explanation could be that the…
