I am not sure what you are driving at. My understanding of double entry bookkeeping is it's simpler and easier than the so called "single entry" bookkeeping which adds a lot of complexity because of all the special cases.

When a law like this comes into effect it should have 3-5 year transition period. It does not matter how long they deliberated, there is time when law goes into effect, and then the countdown to enforcement should start, but it must not be

It's not the postmortem du jour that we want, the whole pattern is a mystery. Do they push releases every day and bring down the site every day by botched rollouts? What really is it why they can't GH keep the core service running

I find it strange that software people will accept this level of flakiness from the hardware. Normally you would just send the card back, and request a replacement. > One of the cards would only show up if I crossed my fingers when turni

Yes. I kick myself that I did not get the 500gb model when getting was good. It was a massive price tag, but the hardware is NICE. And that MLX architecture really works. I run the gpt-oss 100gb model and it's right quick.

It is full of these short sentences that AI writing loves, sort of to feel "punchy". Normally you would copy-edit that stuff, join them up, have the writing have some rhythm. I agree with GP, the article is hard to read because it
