As the OP has "Aussie" in their name I think they'd be referring to the Commonwealth Bank of Australia Dollarmites accounts. They were shutdown recently after a watchdog investigation. It was locking kids into using the bank

Great news! I've missed Heidi after changing job and moving from MySQL to Mongo and then Linux many (many) years ago. Looking forward to see how it goes with Postgres and SQLite nowadays.

I've been working on a programing language to read and write Excel spreadsheets. Or more accurately I've been writing a custom programming language and porting my library to it, so I can transpile it out to other languages. Curren

The display also supports partial updates, so you can just upload a few sub rectangles of what has changed onscreen. AKA "dirty rectangles". You can get over 60fps depending on how much is changing, and since these games are on a

Ambernics seem to be very high build quality. I got the RG280v myself after some research. It's not as powerful (so it can't play every PS1 game at full frame rate) and does not have analog sticks. But it is very small and I think

Or what actually happened was the radio show asked if white going first was racially based, concluding that it was not. But conservative media spent days getting themselves outraged over it before it even aired. https://www.abc.n

Mino Games is YC backed, as their job ads pop up on here occasionally. Interestingly they seem to have shut down their older larger scale Mino Monsters games and are focusing on (what i assume to be) smaller scale collecting games.

As someone who can code in C/C++ and was recently looking for work, I don't think someone should learn low level programming for a career. What I would consider simple PHP jobs were easily paying more than C++ jobs. If you look at

I have too, but I dream for more of an OQO style. I've wondered at some point how difficult it would be to get a quality case created that all the parts could go into.
