A lot of regional towns don't have mains gas so had to rely on deliveries. Living in outer Melbourne, I've always had gas, same with my friends and neighbours, and have always had gas hot water, stove top and heating, it's be

I appreciate your difficulties but have always wondered at our lack of support for preventative measures as a society here in Australia and possibly worldwide. Would a personal trainer or paid or not training buddy or something of the sort

No doubt preaching to the Choir here but I just generate a new pass phrase and store it in Bitwarden. If course for the non HN audience, much more confusing and dangerous.

That is one of the more horrifying ones. I wonder if we'll get stealth ads in chat

Do you think they were really effective or was it more the large price hikes (which have now been undone by vapes and black market cigarettes)? I guess it might have had an impact but it's hard to tell for me with the impressive mishan

Isn't that what they want? It's only the craftsman that look up to the superstars / thought leaders, everyone else just wants inoffensive competency (and that's OK I guess).

One thing I have found out immensely useful for is exploring new niche areas. One example is I got it to setup a new terminal (wezterm) and configure it quickly to my liking. This would have been a lot of googling and reading before, genera

Absolutely. Things which used to take me a week to grind through, finding edge cases, trial and error, researching online, now takes an afternoon directing an agent and verifying the solution. For a generalist, it's a huge force multip

That's great for those that can implement that, many cant (don't have the time, education, willpower, etc...), maybe the majority. Given the challenges of rebuilding a proper society, maybe this is a step in the right direction (m

In addition, a gut feeling needs to be proven quickly and cheaply, so treat it as an experiment and strictly time-box it and have a measurable goal or milestones which must be met before the path is continued. Leaders who have too many of t

I always like a good hack. And this story delivers. Basically, the New York City bikeshare program has a system to reward people who move bicycles from full stations to empty ones. By deliberately moving bikes to create artificial problems,

For .NET env's, we're in the process of putting each element into an AWS SSM secret or non-secret which can then be pulled out to form an appsettings.json. All SSM parameters will be managed through pulumi. Pulled via a script run

It's true, externalities such as respiratory issues and climate change caused by polluting vehicles should be priced into schemes such as this. Not sure why this is an unpopular opinion.

There's also the full-duplex mode where 2 people are talking, but both seem to be engaged in a different conversation. Communication is hard, tolerance is important.

It would be great if it turns out to be a better experience than iPadOs, even with a pro. I've just given up my iPad pro due to it being so limited (no good terminal options, dev tools, filesystem access). Such great potential from a H

TLDR; The book is “The Shadow Work Journal” by Keila Shaheen about “Shadow Work” (integrating your Shadow self) based on Carl Jung’s theorys.

I think it’s more visible now, but as well, I wonder if it’s just that we have more leisure time to actually worry about / deal with it. Personally I think every child needs some sort of effective therapy to help heal the trauma of the

How did you go about roasting your own if you don’t mind me asking.

My wife’s car has this and it’s not perfect but good enough. It has known (not published maybe) failure modes such as driving into a roundabout where the car is initially pointing towards the keep left sign (Australia) but then the road tur

So pricing is 1c / GB-month, compared to S3 IA at 1.25c / GB-month, a decent saving but not massive, no archive or deep archive options though, I wonder if / when these will come. What sort of negotiated rates can you get fro

That sounds horrible, personally, when I have my senior dev hat on, doing code reviews is very far down the list of rewarding work. I’d much rather have an LLM that could do that for me.

Well supported in EF core, great experience. Having said that, I’ve not used EF core with any other DB so have nothing to compare to.

Go sit in the sauna or steam room if your gym has one, that’s where I make a lot of friends (or acquaintances really).

Are you referring to when the headlights are on? Distinguished from Daytime Running Lights. Because otherwise this is just wrong.

They don’t all just work, I tried the most popular one (CarLinkIt) and it didn’t work with mine or my wifes phone, I gave up, wireless was not worth it enough for me to go through the hassle of reset this, clear that etc…

Total fleet will obviously take a while to turnover, 93% new of passenger car registrations in September were PEV, 87% BEV, Norway has long led the world though in this area with very strong incentives for many years.

True for sure, but there is a limit. I actually feel like I’d prefer to have an electronic limiter in “normal” mode that would keep it at a certain level of power. Sport or track mode, go nuts.
