It’s gotten a decent but faster very recently for many cases, but still slow and throws weird false warnings sometimes.

You’ve made some good points though I’ve found the reflection in swift since v2 to be sufficient for my day to day. I think the nib thing is a problem but in reverse, nibs needs to be swift so we can instantiate them with generics, this wou

I’m surprised you downvoted this, we should be able to discuss pros / cons without downvoting people.

What got me over the line was optionals and protocols + generics, the safety and expressiveness combined will eventually (hopefully!) win you over!

To be honest this seems like lawyers being lawyers and EventBrite rectifying the situation promptly when they knew, and clarifying it had never happened IRL. OP still not happy unless they go out of the way to shame themselves rather than g

The backwards thing about the second amendment is that the USA is easily the closest western country I’ve been to to a police state. Contrast the militarisation of the police in the USA with a far more “free” country like New Zealand (with

And that’s the thing maybe it’s great comparative to the rest of the world, but not itself. Was with tour operators in 2015 so youd think it was the good spots, going again in a month so hopefully looking ok.

I think they should have clarified in urban environments, people outside of cities use guns is basically every country, even japan.

1st point: It’s been done for hundreds of millions of people and hundreds of millions of guns, and it’s regulation not removing all guns, which is already done in the US, you can’t get a rocket launcher, so why am assault rifle? No banned g

Ive been to Airlie / port Douglas every couple years for a decade, it’s unbelievable how incredible the place was and how it just isn’t now. First couple times was exactly like Finding Nemo, now it’s a barren wasteland (and this is goi

I don’t know how you can link to an article about banning killing machine video content as a comparison to banning gay content with a straight face. This is an example of YouTube taking positive social responsibility which is fantastic. And

Is it though? Does it happen in a centralised system in any democratic country? I feel you are letting them off the hook in a sense, centralisation != censorship, often it seems with western services the centralised system providers fight a

This article is so switched on about Facebook wanting to be the platform and not an advertising business, every move (and in hindsight misstep, but not clear at the time) makes sense in that context. You try to be the platform before you (M

This is a great point. Not even humans do 100% of possible trips if they aren’t confident drivers, especially in bad conditions.

Yeah 5 minutes on one of these could be enough to get you up some really impassable terrain. They could auto be used to drop supplies, or perform rescues (configured differently)

Globalisation is basically constant bio warfare on so many Australian species. The cane toad being the most notable on its slow march into Kakadu, we really do have to kill all the rabbits and all the toads for the ecosystem. From what I un

Very hot political football. Federal govt accused state of failing people after large storm / blackout. State says solution is green energy, government says cause of problems to begin with is green energy.
