Because that is an unproductive foreign policy approach. It’s an unproductive approach to any relationship in general.

Probably because a lot of people have the Apple One subscription tier that gets you Apple News+. Which gets you access to a lot of pay walled media. So a direct link is useful to those that have Apple News+. So that’s why, and I appreciate

They organise events and parties for people who have come into or made a lot of money. The intent of the party is not to celebrate a birthday or occasion, but rather to get introduced to a new social group of similarly wealthy people. The s

That is very interesting! Thanks for sharing. I hadn’t really thought about those sorts of social problems and how you solve them!

BYD pass Australian safety standards, so they probably pass EU and USA standards. BYD are increasingly popular in AU :-/

Do they? Any evidence or data to back this up? Anecdotally, I can say that when I was hiring devs in a large AU Corporate, this wasn’t the case :-)

Out of curiosty, what are you optimising exactly?

It's the 'much more' fragment of the sentence that reads awkwardly for me!

This broadly encapsulates the problem! :-) Not an attack on your comment at all, or your choices. I totally get it :-) But the thinking around needing a car that does-it-all is a problem that needs to be resolved! My Australian perspective

Indeed, it's all good :-) And I agree, you cant really have a back and forth about it, trying to score points. The requirements are too myriad these days. Hence my Chromebook comment - because for someone that just needs a device that

But I don’t think Linux is good enough, usable enough or supported enough! The out of the box experience on Ubuntu doesn’t even come close to modern macOS or Windows 11. Sure, if all you need to do is use a web browser then you’d be fine wi

MS Edge is the most egregious offender, for me. There’s a nice UI under all of the offensive promos and news they force onto you. My kid just got a new school laptop, preloaded by the school. He opens up Edge and Boom! It’s spamming him wit

You are not alone! I found it useful to actually work through the React tutorials. Keep things simple and learn the simple use cases first. The world of React is now a very busy place, so trying to jump in to a full stack can quickly become

I use HAML these days. Recent releases are technically faster than ERB, and I really appreciate the compact structure of the markup!

For me it’s Sublime Text. I really don’t get the VS Code love. It’s fine as a free editor. But laggy and cluttered. It’s like the Las Vegas of editors. I always feel compelled to come and hang out on these threads as I really don’t understa

The best VS Code and Ruby on Rails setup is Sublime Text! Or Ruby Mine. Anything but VSCode for me!

I find Ritalin to be great and works well for me. None of the issues you described! But totally get it - some meds do weird things to some people! Hope you find a treatment that works for you!

Where do you live where they can just swap out medications like that? I live in Australia and have a Ritalin prescription, but I could t swap it for another drug if they were out! Curious to know!

To add, it’s not just stimulants as such. Drugs like Ritalin are an effective dopamine re-uptake inhibitor. Other stimulants may not be. Just in case any one reading this I the future is self-diagnosed and is considering self-medicating wit

I do the same, but with Dell 7060s. There are thousands of them coming off lease for sale here in Australia. 8500T or 8700T chips are fantastic. They can officially run Windows 11 and have have hardware transcoding built In, so are great fo

As an aside, what are people's goto tools for remotely reading server side logs? Is there anything free / open source that's decent and gives me a log dashboard?

If anyone wants a redundant system and is happy not to self-host, then I can recommend NextDNS. Works great, but not free over a certain number of requests. Can’t speak to its privacy levels though - as with anything, assume records will be
