I just put everything in one file. Over 15 years worth of transactions in a single ledger file ordered by date.

if you want file names matching a pattern, no need for grep: find . -name '*.py' -iname '*pattern*' for filenames that have content matching pattern, no need for find: grep -r --in…

Easy, relax the requirements, and find work that isn't physically demanding. I'm sure there are a few "paper pushers" at the DoD.

A person with a gun shooting stuff isn't the only part of defense spending. I'm not sure if this is the point you were even making.

1. Federal min wage would be a good place to start. 2. Uh, the same as now? Just because you work for the government doesn't mean you earn min eage. I'm pretty sure Generals make m…

US Defense spending is a US employment program. I really wish we would drop the pretense and just make it a full employment jobs program. Anyone that wants to work should be able t…

I'm not talking about the economy failing. I'm talking prices. What do you think happens to asset prices when there are only sellers (everyone with wealth has to sell). You think p…

Imagine step 2 to realize the insanity. That household likely doesn't have disposable income that is greater than 25% of their unrealized cap gains, so what do they do? 1. Hope the…

If you don't switch between window managers is there any point in having a DM? Why not just login and run "sway" or "startx"

I think it has more to do with OnlyFans.

Also doesn't need to be decentralized or an existing crypto currency to solve those issues. For example, central banks are exploring smart contracts for international payments. htt…

This is correct. Interest payments go into bank accounts. Some of that money gets spent into the economy, some stays and gets reinvested into more treasuries. There's a reason real…

I said real wage growth. You likely thought I said nominal wage growth. Or maybe you learned something new today.

Even though the annual government deficit is almost 7% of GDP, essentially injecting stimulus into the economy, wall st analysts are convinced high interest rates will cause a rece…

Because we all know corporations were keeping prices and profits low before COVID because it's good for PR. After COVID they said screw the PR let's be greedy now.

If I had to guess, it's probably the NAT hole-punching or use of tailscale servers as an intermediary. If you signed up for a $5 VPS to forward packets you probably would have been…

Thanks for mentioning this. I think the killer feature is compatibility with existing grep command line switches. Not needing to learn a whole new set of options is quite nice.

I use unbound, with a bunch of local IP/hostnames, then forward to mullavad dns for adblock.

In other news, French authorities have decided that Hollywood movies should be banned for displays of murder, which is against French law. The "contracts" of the actors is immateri…

I would assume that doesn't work well for text editing.

They defined late as 2 hours before bed. No consistency of when bed is across the group. Breakfast was 5am to 10am. Looks like no control over food intake. For all we know, breakfa…

They interviewed 310 ppl, calculated their BMI, then found out around half skip breakfast. That half had BMI a little higher than the rest. No discussion of what they eat. What a w…

I sell hammers for a 25% margin. I buy hammers for $10, sell for $12.50. My supplier increases prices with inflation to $11. To keep my 25% markup, I sell for $13.75. I sell 1 mill…
