In the state machine analogy, isn't the suggested "arbitrary" approach just the state machine with every single box connected to every single other box? Seems even more messy!

You must be enjoying quarantine, because if your ethical horse is up this high you must not be able to leave the house without encountering "qualms"

It's not really fair to compare selling tooling to a large agency that does a lot of different things with directly writing software that does something evil.

Github donated the money ICE paid them to charities that are directly counteracting the bad things ICE is doing.

Isn't that clearly better than just forcing ICE to install Gitlab?

Well, he slowed down the processing of new Iraqi refugees.

Trump immediately stopped the entry of all foreign nationals, including green card holders returning from vacations and people who already had vaild visas.

That's very different. You could argue that the Administration didn't intend for the order to apply to GC holders, but the fact that the implementation of an executive order was different from its intention proves that it was poorly thought out.

I always like seeing people find new ways to manage their money, but you seem to take issue with estimation and categorization, which are (IMHO) the fundamental pieces of a budget that actually create behavior changes.

The point of estimating your expenses is to cause surprise and provoke thought when your estimates are terrible. The point of categorization is to aggregate expenses into larger groups to help find places to cut. Maybe you don't see "$40 for dinner" as a crazy expense but summed over a month it turns out "$1000 on food" is crazy.

The point of doing a budget on a monthly cycle is that most bills are monthly bills. I also have days where I spend half a paycheck and days where I spend zero dollars, so how much money I gained or lost in a day is of almost no relevance.
