Yes, that's the accurate horror of the situation here in Australia! Even a slight economic advantage is being multiplied if you take advantage of housing and stock markets. Just having comparable incomes and earning power is no longer

Raw land is not cheap in many parts of Australia. Even in Adelaide metro and suburban areas, land is not cheap anymore!

I dont have information that can compare Apples to Apples as such, as in US vs AU values. But I can say that prices are rising rapidly here in Australia. The already expensive Sydney market rose on average ~$1200 a day over the last quarter

There is no tension! As an example, I remember how good the original Bourne Identity was!

Who remembers waking into a store on the high street in Britain and seeing rows of different computer systems! Sinclair Spectrums, BBC Model B and so on! It was glorious! It was so exciting as a kid! Going to each of them and writing 3 line

Agreed, and I like to always think of turbulence as a demonstration that the plane is working as intended!

With regards to performance, I used Hugo like 3 or 4 years ago now, and it was insanely fast! Compared to really sluggish build times with Jekyll/Ruby it was incredible! Some sites went from 10s of seconds to what felt like instant bui

Yes, it's not far off! I do use some simple plugins for things like Redirects and Sitemaps. But for many sites we build, what Jekyll does right now is just fine. It also works with CloudCannon. Who are expanding their supported SSGs. S

"In the US, there was a big rise in the unemployment rate to just under 20% in April, before falling back steadily to 7.1% in November. But wage growth actually rose sharply, and was 5.9% in November. The picture is the same in the UK.

So just using bit torrent gets you a fine!? Even for legitimate purposes?

Fortunately in Australia you can’t claim insane damages from copy right infringement! The gov DNS block sites, but that’s it really.

The article also says "Data from app monitoring firm App Annie indicates that average time per user spent on the apps is higher for TikTok, indicating high levels of engagement." Now, I don't know for sure, but I cant imagine

This was certainly true in Australia. Where Chinese investors would get their money out of China and into Aussie real estate!

Exactly! Here in Australia we are seeing remarkable growth in property prices over the last quarter! Sydney prices grew at $AU1200 per day! In the residential housing market there just isn’t enough supply! I can say anecdotally that’s young

Nice article, but not really over engineered. More, spent money on a bunch of gear and installed PiHole! I did the same though LOL However, in the spirit of his comments about Outsourcing to The Experts, I switched from PiHole to AdGuard Ho

The Finder! Nothing on Windows or Linux guis is as good as macOS’ Finder! Quick Look and the use of Miller Columns are two features that spring to mind! I spend most of my life in the terminal, an editor or a browser so can switch pretty ea

Well, even if we cant describe why it is 'bad', we can observe that it is a form of anti-social behaviour by these companies. People don't like it - people don't like that form of targeting. It may not be clear why they

Which country or state is a model? Seems to be a case of damned if you do and damned if you dont! I live in SA, the state that got shut down for the Pizza Delivery incident. By and large the citizens of this state support the actions of our

This is outdated information. Delta strain is worse - more dangerous for kids and those under 30.

by firecall 5y ago
This is not true of Delta strain. Younger people, under 30, and children are getting it and ending up in hospital. It’s widely reported here in Australia. Children are at risk.

For me, the minimalism aesthetic and the Marie Kongo school of chucking stuff out and not horsing are two different things! You can chick away half your things but your home could still look cluttered and ‘terrible’.

It's not resource utilisation as such that is the issue! More that it crashes constantly! It could be the volume of files it's churning through. But still... 'cmon Google! If I use new Drive with my personal account, that onl

Indeed! Google forced the new Google Drive client on me... On my M1 Mac it crashes constantly and the Finder pops up Google Drive disconnect dialogues constantly. Two days into finally relenting and giving the update from Backup & Sync

I still have one of these! I wonder why in 1991 they chose to use a super heavy first generation portable? Durability? Reliability? Ports and interfaces? Trackball worked in space?

Here in Australia they put the price per unit on the shelf sticker! Like for Pepsi it will show $1.67/per litre, for instance. Then you can easily shop all the 24 or 30 multipacks. Also, like other countries the actual weight inside th
