Has anyone here read Lanczos 1952 book on variational mechanics? It is beautifully written.

That is not productive. Sure, you can do that once or twice. But it gets painful quickly.

I firmly believe it is a prerequisite. Just by knowing what an interval is and playing that repeatedly, trains your brain to recognize it. Specifically 1-3-5 interval range.

I'm I the only one who gets headaches after some time with light mode?

Edit: I underwent LASIK eye surgery, and I don't recall experiencing headaches beforehand. Or maybe, just getting old?

I’ve been a long-time user of (h)ledger. I use a custom script to generate a cost basis when computing capital gains for selling transactions. Are there any recent updates or tools that improve cost-basis tracking or capital gains handling in hledger?
