IIRC there was a ‘Sudden Stratospheric Warming’ this year that caused the ozone hole to be much smaller than usual. As a resident of the South Island in New Zealand, I find these articles of much interest.

Interesting! And I think it's a good alternative to the typical 'work in the valley for a few years' that many Oz devs do. He seems to be working for Facebook in London now.

I was a full time Python dev but the complexity of the work required wasn’t interesting enough for me. I wanted to move into web dev. So in 2014 I sat down and wrote an FTP/SFTP client in 100% Javascript (a plug-in for an editor). It i

IIRC glob.glob() is a wrapper around os.listdir(). I used to develop code on an OS X laptop then push to a Linux box for the actual computational result (big dataset). And discovered at one point that one OS returns a sorted result, the oth

Yes, it's great. I know a few folks working on Go backends - I'm going to point this out to them. And I think like you, it raises the question of 'Is there a guide like this for what I'm working in?' In my early Rea

I'm posting in the Linux thread because it's probably annoying to some to see 'but I moved to Linux' threads throughout this comment. But the original post is very sobering. I left OS X a few years back when the new lapt

Without smartphone was tough in Japan. But streetview was great. I’d put an address in, then look at each corner to ensure I knew what each turn looked like after arriving at the local station to get to the specific address.

Over the years, the proposed build for my area went from fibre to wifi to satellite. Moved to New Zealand. At my new property, being offered a gigabit connection. AFAIK there’s nowhere on the NBN that supports that.

He obviously uses Windows for his anecdotal examples, but I don’t think you can point the finger at Windows specifically. I think it’s consistent throughout OSes. I see regressions in iOS since the earlier versions, as well as in Linux and
