I got a three day suspension from school for doing this. I sent something mundane like “hello” to entire school. Few minutes later, the IT admin came running down, told me off and took my details. Made the mistake of telling a couple friend

The estimating is often enough to make better choices. I know I’m not going to be able to eat my main, a couple slices of pizza, one or two entrees and a dessert with only 800 calories left in my budget. Sure, I might be somewhat off in my

As someone who really enjoys working with CSS, but also working with colleagues who struggle with it, I strongly recommend Kevin Powell’s YouTube channel. He has touched on exact feature a few times, here’s a video he uploaded a week ago th

Our first computer was an MS-Dos machine that our local high school were getting rid of back in 1994. I learned a lot from playing around on the machine, trying to understand the command line.

While I do use timers occasionally (mainly when baking or pressure cooking), I’m surprised to learn that people will set multiple timers just to caramelise onions. I find that for most cooking tasks, sight and sound are more reliable indica

Overnight oats / bircher muesli is served cold and requires no cooking. The time aspect is to give the oats time to absorb the liquid - cold oats swimming in freshly poured milk isn't the most appetising way to eat oats. Of course

As a Melburnian, I can second that Melbourne is coffee-obsessed, and Starbucks is a step up your average takeaway shop coffee. With that said, there’s a very discernible difference in quality between a decent cafe coffee and a Starbucks cof

There was an earthquake in Melbourne, Australia earlier this year and a common theme (myself included) was thinking a car had rammed into the house.

This looks very cool. Is anyone aware of something similar for Angular? We have a half-baked version that's been in pre-alpha for our webapp, but if there's something out of the box that we could leverage...

My experience (as someone who spends too much time on my phone) is that a smartwatch helps avoiding me getting sucked in by my phone. It’s much less usable and I hate constant notifications on my wrist, so I’ll usually have it on mute and d

I’ve found Angular updates to be mostly painless since they’ve automated most of the migrations using `ng update`. That said, I do wait 2-3 months to give time for dependencies to update.

Curious if anyone familiar with Drupal’s AJAX implementation (at least how it was in v5-7, I haven’t used Drupal v8 onwards) back in the day and has used this can offer a comparison? A sense a lot of familiarity

Ah… IB must’ve been why I found the discrete mathematics subject at university so much easier than my peers did - I’d already been exposed to a lot of it.

We do this occasionally as a tech spike - if there’s a lot of uncertainty or if we need to evaluate between a couple different approaches, we’ll dedicate 2-3 days to hacking away with the aim of lifting the “fog of war”.

If you practice test-driven development, the mindset is slightly different. Humans can't think of everything all the time - TDD guides you to think about one thing at a time. No one is sitting there adding a disabled prop on their comp

Can you elaborate on what’s problematic with this test? Testing that the component does what expected based on input is telling me the component is working as expected.

Is this an issue with observables or an issue with RxJS allowing you to shoot yourself in the foot? A saner API (as shown in the proposal) has some obvious benefits in handling certain use cases without necessarily devolving into the crazy

This looks very interesting. Been maintaining terraform scripts for a while that are frankly a nightmare to deal with at this stage. Are there any plans to support private clouds in future?

Papercuts might matter, but there's a time and a place for everything. If you have limited resource-constrained, and the choice is between solving minor issues or driving the product forward, do the latter. That doesn't mean you s
