The state of Australian politics is a complete and utter shambles. Every single Australian should be thoroughly embarrassed by this. In my opinion mandatory voting is up there among the very worst, most destructive forces any democracy has

Very aggravating to hear them use units like "thousandths of an inch thick" and "feet of cables". Does NASA really still work with imperial units of measure?

None of the links you have provided shed any light because it's all deleted comments. Would you mind elaborating on Ashley Williams and her supposed "racism, sexism and antagonism"?

We've been hearing the same thing about cryptocurrency and blockchains for literally over a decade now. We always seem to be just a year or two away from real, useful applications of blockchains, or truely useful cryptocurrencies. Now

Now nothing. No one who gives even one single solitary fuck about Chinese influence was buying Xiaomi phones. These phones are for the overwhelmingly dominant portion of the market that just does not care.

Can your code be easily changed, or will a change in one place cause a domino effect all over your code base? Does a simple change in requirements require a change in one (or a few) places or is it a "shotgun surgery"? Is the diff
