The schema describes the database layout. The file layout (if you were going to call it that) in a modern RDBMS would describe how the RDBMS implemented a particular database layout as described by the schema.
USAID was the most resistant to an audit which is why they’re getting scrutinized early. Trump literally said today on an interview aired before the superbowl that a department of defense audit is coming up and he expects it to turn up billions to hundreds of billions in waste.
It appears that they passed audit just a few months ago:
> Opinion: Williams Adley concluded that USADF’s financial statements as of September 30, 2024, and September 30, 2023, are presented fairly, in all material respects, and in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
> The audit firm also found no reportable noncompliance with provisions of applicable laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements.
> The audit firm found no material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting but found deficiencies in the internal controls over the Funds Held Outside of Treasury process. We collectively identified these deficiencies as a reportable significant deficiency.
Why would the DoD be resistant to an audit? They've had un-auditable black budgets for decades and every time someone questions them they pull a new stealth aircraft out of their back pocket
Given the fact that there are so many Musk apologists and "anti-woke" crusaders in the HN community, most notably Paul Graham, they probably won't do it.
Trump doesn’t care about Ross’ parents or their donations much.
What he did care about were libertarian votes. There was a deal that libertarians will support Trump if he promises to free Ross. This is on record, you can find it.
An amazing example of a DSL was Butler for Trello before it was acquired and dumbed down to a “no code” tool. It was magical to use. I had started consulting using it but they said I wasn’t allowed to use it anymore so I replicated the functionality as a library to run inside a Google sheet using Google apps script.
I used google sheets but wouldn’t go past big query or firebase these days. You can have connected sheets that read straight from big query and probably firebase too, and they’re so much better and faster and have fewer quirks than sheets
