Yup. The right-wing Australian government have just moved the retirement age from 65 to 70. What a joke.

I agree with you. Just bought a new TV myself, and I've disconnected it from the network. When it was connected my internet was seeing slowdowns every 30 seconds, completely destroying a hangout I was trying to have at the time. If I d

"The theory being that no matter what the issues are, the most hysterical side is probably incorrect" Fedor laughed. What a great observation. I'm going to try to pay more attention to this in the future.

I used mercurial for a couple of years before switching to git precisely because mercurial was touted as the simpler choice. I believe I 'outgrew' mercurial, but I probably didn't invest time into discovering the various exte

What django version is this based on? Some of the other nonrel projects that I'm aware of are based on the LTS 1.4 (LTS until next year), and haven't really progressed from there.

Yup. If I was to put together another HTPC, this would be the ideal product I think (something that runs XBMC). I spent about $800 (sigh..) on putting together something a lot bulkier and noisier about a year ago.

The site is disingenuous. "Please donate to the defense fund" is a total lie. It's an attack fund. If they're going to solicit money for a cause, at least be honest about that cause.

So Bill Shorten (the leader of the opposition) is my member of parliament. I've written him to ask that he helps to slow the process down and read the recommendations of the joint committee. Not sure what more I can do here :/

"Crown" is a watch term. The terminology wasn't invented by Apple.

I can leave home without my wallet. Seriously, cash/card and maybe my drivers license is the only necessary thing I need on the go most days. I can free up an entire pocket.

I think I can answer my own question. The client doesn't get a shared secret. JWT is a server sending a token to the client which the client then sends back like a cookie. The client isn't allowed to modify the token or the data i

Forgive my ignorance (I know I'm missing something), but how do you distribute the shared secret to clients of a single page app? How do you keep the shared secret "secure"? I've implemented something very similar to JWT

I regularly switch between C#, Python/Django, some bash, and some straight up SQL. I'm fairly comfortable with them all - so the productivity is pretty much the same as switching between multiple projects in the same language.
