Where would a bitcoin exchange fall in this categorisation? I've seen BTC referred to as a digital good in some pieces.

Our 13 year old Miele dishwasher broke last week. I had a service call booked but cancelled because it wouldn't be worth the parts and labour costs of multiple hundreds (good chance something else will break next year). I had a lot of

Sometimes I like to middle click and move my house instead of using the wheel (nicer on my joints). Sometimes I like to even just move it a little and have it auto-scroll as I read. It's a fun game to try and match my pace and more eng

Maybe not fixing it was on purpose, but I doubt the original bug was. They could've just added a more straightforward sleep/delay in the code. If anyone finds it they can say it was accidentally leftover testing code because they

It's the FB app on a new iPhone, set to Sydney where we live. There are no DST options I assume "it just works" covers all that. There is an option to resync inside the FB app, which refreshes and... doesn't change a thi

It's rife in the industry. The drama this week is that my wife can't log in to Facebook because their code generator just doesn't work. The number in the app shows up, she types it, but she can't log in because apparentl

Interesting point I saw on this site a while ago - most people are well trained to work out hourly compensation by time spent working. By that metric, ignoring hair loss, you and your coworkers earn the same per hour. Let's flip it and

Jaywalking is an odd example since I've lived in Sydney for 20 years and don't know anyone busted for it. I've seen many people cross at lights like this even with police cars sitting and waiting in traffic in clear sight. I

There was (is?) a rumour that changing light globes was technically illegal under the letter of the law in Victoria. A quick search shows this may have been a 1998 law amended in 1999. Either way, people believed it which says something.

Australia is very apathetic in general. "She'll be right" is basically our national motto and while it can be good for overcoming external adversity and natural disasters, I don't think it's serving us too well when

For cases like this I think consistent enforcement is the most important thing. In the short term it may sound great that a lot of companies are erring on the side of caution and not using the data, when perhaps they could. But if there&#x2

Yes, I don't think a wiki is really appropriate for most recipes at all for this reason. There are many different ways to do a recipe each at least close enough to equally valid that you'll have those people arguing over nitpick

Yeah the authenticity thing especially gets a lot of people going online. I check in and catch up on r/cooking once or twice a week and there are some very strongly held opinions. The funny thing is, the one that gains traction in a po

Yeah it's definitely SEO fluff. No one is enforcing copyright on their blog's recipe. And another site can still extract the recipe portion anyway.

Cooking is definitely one place that I think the saying "strong opinions, weakly held" is a great motto. Like I have my way of doing things... and it's the best because I have my own taste profile... but I'll try your

I get most of my recipes from YouTube these days. I can see the technique and result, which is valuable, but I make my own notes in a format that suits me, sometimes like Cooking for Engineers (group ingredients, do process, add next group,

Valheim is very poorly optimised right now, graphics aside. I am not sure how well it works on older hardware but on my RTX2060 and corresponding CPU I get frame drops all the time and global locks when it decides to save the world state in

We had daily builds but they tended to be broken. This is life in many places :) They did proper integration point releases between teams at various phases, it was more an issue with 1 week sprints to close off tasks resulting in so much ov

Oh yea, I was just thinking there are still limits to what 'safe' means though. My memory on the exact exploits was hazy so I had to look it up but I know it includes sending user defined data to the format string, which is not ad

snprintf still has the typical format string vulnerabilities doesn't it? Information leaks, buffer overflows, etc.

As a dev I have spoken directly with customers in multiple projects, but based on mentioning revenue/marketing it seems you're coming from a consumer focus and not b2b implementations? It seems to be a common perspective on this s

We had weekly sprints one time, the amount of overhead was insane. Even the manifesto says to integrate your working software anywhere from a couple of weeks to months, depending on your situation.

NBN has had an order of magnitude more outages in the last few years than ADSL2 ever had for me. Maybe it's limited to HFC, but I doubt it. One time I got an outage report for work being done, but the internet only went down when they

100KB sounds very limiting, you'll easily go above that with just fonts in some poorly constructed PDFs. The first rule of PDFs is to always reproduce at the source if you can, they can be modified/edited but are better considered
