Toyota strike me as extremely pragmatic. I miss that Corona.

I've been hankering to do a Bolo port on Rust. I'm terrified of change and unable to adapt, being 40, but I will try.

I read a lot in various media, but I'm still ignorant how. The vagus nerve has been mentioned; does that shuttle nutrients around, or what? How exactly do these micros take digested chyme and make this incredibly efficient alcohol->

Is the net gain of a BSD license better than if it didn't exist, considering public companies use it for profit and don't contribute back? Absolutely, but same with LGPL. Actuaĺly I just wanted to argue it.

I'm reminded of Intellivision for some reason. LibGDX is awesome for 2d mucking around too.

It's good to see it's made a difference. Back in the day, open source felt like a bit of an edgy proposition with a lot of ney-sayers. Microsoft very front and center there. Now we can get free IDE's versus the money they wer

I'd be infuriated if I bought that kind of machinery ($$$) and it was software killable. It's absurb people are defending this behaviour. The article mention's it's an end run around laws, so they can put whatever nonsen

I wonder if that is more to keep a handle on the process though than anything sinister (in the early stages I would do that). Still quietly optimistic about Tesla's effect, so I hope they don't turn out as self-serving as the rest

Among the other benefits the Internet has provided, we can now watch in real-time the blow-by-blow of weighty matters such as an English language critique gone wrong (coming from a site as utterly devoid of respect, purpose and integrity as

Underselling yourself isn't restricted to self-taught programmers, and I personally haven't noticed any major differences (on that issue) worth leaping for the electronic quill for.

Interesting thanks, hadn't seen it. I delve into the Treasury Portfolio wedge and I get a sinister "Outcome 1" looking as big as our welfare budget (I think from a quick squiz this says 120 billion for welfare but I thought i

I don't want to detract from it's good points in terms of collating information, but yep this feels like the kryptonite of the designers I've known. I'm no novice at creating horrors either, it's more of a piece of

All Australian's are immigrants in one sense or another is my opinion, 200 years isn't long. I was punted around the US and NZ before being deposited in Australia. Country only benefits from skilled people coming in, I just worry

Hehe that might be part of it, I actually feel claustrophobic reading it. A neutron star of text and links.

There's something comically evil looking about Ballmer, almost the Emperor from Star Wars. A former Microsoft exec wondering what the government does with money? A lot landed in his pockets I suspect, but it's good he's phila

I would say (not a lawyer and all that) but if you've been granted the visa now you're home and hosed. The wheels will probably take a while to turn. Anecdotally, one job in Melbourne about three years ago comprised about 20-30 45

I think it's probably a bit late in some ways, and my understanding is is that there are a fair few other visas that work for this purpose. Personally, I think this is pandering, after the damage has been done.

I agree, I think absolute transparency should be a given with any democratic government. One reason, aside from national security to a hopefully minor degree, is to cover their behinds when stupid things are done (and they're done an a

The UI is actually making me feel angry, for some reason I can't put my finger on.

Personally, I think there's a lot of Wizard of Oz going on with gitlab. Put up a decent front so far but utterly incoherent/incompetent behind the scenes.

I agree it seems like a dark ages, but it was inevitable software would move to a rent seeking position in this environment. VC's want their income tap. These yachts don't run themselves!

Is there telemetry built into this too? I'd worry about ssh logins being logged for diagnostic and privacy journey purposes.

Quite hellish. I've done all of the no-no's in here many times in my youth (passing out and peeling lens off the next morning, washing in tap water etc) and must be lucky. I wonder if those corneal scrapes are safe though.

I agree, this bit struck me: "The key idea of taking good notes in class is to write down as much as possible." I guess the post does mention to adapt strategies based on the teacher's style, but I found (some/most) lect

Thanks for the information, I'll have a closer read later. I think I'll take it in steps, losing beef/chicken/etc stock will be a blow to my recipes. Cheese will be hard if it comes to it. It's interesting the defen

Yes fair enough, maximizing what we do with the carcass once the animal is dead is only fair. I guess I was leaning more towards the lengths we've gone to, for something that doesn't make a whole lot of sense in the first place (i

So will it be "first in, first served" on all the roids/matter in the universe? A world where Goldman has first dibs on these resources, or any say in the matter at all actually, is a grim one to me.

Here I am teetering on the edge of vegetarianism, and people are talking about blowing meat chunks off spines to extract that last bit of cash, and workers inhaling aerosolized pig brains. Might be the push I needed!
