Yeah, their imperviousness to either progress or consequences is kind of incredible. An entire nation of collectivist, rule-following tendencies with a scummy layer of cartoonishly evil folks at the top, who for some reason seem immune fro

What I want to know is, what's happening to all the Australian rice they do import? Are the statistics lumping all varieties together, are we only selling them Basmati?

The agricultural minister went on TV and ate rice from one and two years ago from the stockpile and reported they were all delicious. People were _maaaaaaaaad_.

Yes, it is, and no, it's very much to the Japanese taste. There's no absence of non-rice main meals in Japan; Wafu pasta is an entire category of Japanese pasta dishes whose name literally means Japanese Style Pasta. Udon, Ramen a

Yeah, I've seen a fair amount of "but what will we eat?!" Netsuke-clutching and like... Y'all already have a trend towards bread for breakfast and you love your wafu pasta. Do that a couple of times a week. But it's

I'm not sure tarrifs have a huge impact; Japan is Australia's largest buyer of rice, importing $63.8MUSD worth in 2023 per the OEC: https://oec.world/en/profile/bilateral-product/rice/reporter..

It's interesting to me that no-one is talking about steel frames, which are becoming something of a standard in Australia, mainly because they share some of the advantages of both constructions styles. A Steel framed, clad house can be

The cool part was that all of the extra JS Protractor used (sometimes for native WebDriver tasks) made things _less_ reliable.

Just curious, why do you prefer a first-party testing integration; Is it to save on harness maintenance or do you not like any of the stand-alone testing libraries, or something else? I guess I don't quite follow what you mean by &quo

^^ All of this. I work for Sauce Labs; We've been pretty focused around Selenium but we're building out support for Puppeteer, Playwrite, Cypress et al. The newer automation tools benefit from being newer; They can take advantage

The mad thing is, I would happily pay for the real estate sites to provide me with this kind of data because buying a house is so expensive and such a pain... But it would STILL suck, because the input is so dodgy.

I work at Sauce Labs (inc. TestObject and Screener.io) and the Record-and-Playback tests are the ones that tend to be the most... Not great. They're prone to timing problems and fragile selectors. They work well for rapidly recorded, r

That you were asked this question makes me a little sad. Beside risks like Twitch (or worse, all of Amazon) blocking your traffic wholesale, letting someone use your product to abuse another is just a crappy thing to do; Especially if you l

Storybook lets you permutate the inputs you can give a component, letting you verify the results are correct in a variety of ways. I work for Sauce Labs, so I'm most familiar with combining Storybook with Screener ( https://s

Aww, bless. Another article conflating technology with a negative outcome by ignoring the human factor, e.g. that safe sex is the responsibility of the humans not the app. Media is so cute.

Travis CI is as free for Open Source as Github is; Notably, it also makes some of the other tools even sweeter (Like Code Climate, Sauce Labs, Github itself). It's a little bit ironic that we can't alter the blog post about open

I, personally, don't want global legislation. I want either companies to not act like total dicks (Pricing in Ethiopia should be lower, pricing in Australia shouldn't be twice as much) OR for the AUS and US governments to make a joint

So there are often strategies put in place to ensure that an Australian customer can't purchase at the US price, on the basis that... well... fuck you we want your money that's why. I would agree with your point if digital content produce

We already had a monoculture; Opera not using Webkit wasn't preventing this because as you can see in the comments in this page, most non-Opera users considered its existence silly and never catered for it. I love Opera. It's been my main

As an aside, feature copying was one of the greatest sources of irritation my friends had when Opera was still this really weird, unique thing that I used and they didn't. It was quite regular to have them excitedly tell me to switch to F

I'm not perfectly happy, there's not not much impact being unhappy is likely to have. Once a company makes a huge announcement like this, displeasure from the customer base is unlikely to cause them to change their minds until either they
