Lol I forgot. I checked again at 1pm Aus time and most states had more or less 10% which is higher than I expected.

Agreed, hopefully ini files have lost the Windows stigma enough to be used everywhere.

South Australia is a small state with green minded politicians.

Hi! Yes I agree its entirely possible that renewables will make a big impact and that should be encouraged. I'm sure in Australia with enough backing they could get to 30% or even 50%. I'm sure you realize though that even 80% ren

I really dont believe this for a second. https://www.energymatters.com.au/energy-efficiency/australia... is a great website that shows the mix of current generation. Right now coal is running at 90%. The though that in

My view is also that selling developer tools is a really hard road. Developers always want stuff for free, people would rather work an hour a day all year than figure out how to get a $50 tool through purchasing.

The problem is they probably wouldn't really know right? And if you're unsure you're not going to say it was a waste of money or effort.

The problem I see it is the bar is so high that the only way to get into elite schools is to spend your childhood practicing standardized tests and doing prescribed extra-curricular activities. As a result I suspect these days the elite uni

I've seen a bunch of online job applications where you had to specify your University degree and there was a combo with 10 elite options then other. I'm pretty sure they're sending a message.

I only need to run a few different applications and they require very little boilerplate to get this to work. Spring just gets in the way and makes simple things complicated.

Amen. Its a sad state of affairs when the middleware we had 25 years ago was faster and more robust that what we have now.

by rb808 8y ago
Ironicaly I'm the other way around. Java is a pretty good platform, save the GC pauses. However I really dont see what benefits Spring brings. Spring Boot is great for prototyping and trivial apps, but for big systems you really want t

Yeah but presumably with a union you can also take it easy, not worry about getting laid off and spend time on personal projects.

It also destroys good paying software jobs. Previously corporations paid big bucks to IBM, Oracle, Sun, Borland, etc for operating systems, databases etc, and those companies paid a lot of good technical people to write software. Now they g

I'm pretty sure the real reason its complicated is because politicians are all trying to get deductions or special rules for their favorite special case. I thin its simplistic to blame tax preparers. Actually simplifying tax is one goo

OK I get your point. I was saying a neighborhood full of poor crack addicts will be a dangerous place, so requires "aggressive policing", more than a neighborhood full of coke snorting yuppies. However both are supplied by the sam

I think the difference is more than race. Wealthy professional coke users don't cause a lot of violent crime or robberies.

Yeah I despair at this too. One problem a sensible moderate person who can work with people doesn't generate headlines, which means no one knows about them and no one votes for them. You get someone who "fights for what is right&q

They're private clubs, not public charities. One of the reasons people want to go to these schools is because they have lots of resources. If you ban wealthy parents and alumni from donating, the school wont be outstanding, so the Univ
