What in the ai slop I regret watching as much as I did but gave up at: "We don't need your legislation" "No legislation on" whatever it was

No they wouldn't
The second it became clear this was a larger theme they would sell the debt at a premium to the debt collectors
If it somehow got to the point of hurting a utility or big company government would ride in to the rescue

He's just scrolled to the bottom of the article? I can see the comments button

That said I do hate sites like this and yeah, I can use ad blockers but it's easier just to avoid the website

I get to work from home every day, and so does my wife.
We each have our office space so we can work in peace but at any point in the day we can just have a chat, we can have lunch together, we can have our evening planned and be out of the door at 5pm

It's just all so much better than the old office-based life

It was actually pretty great when I worked for a company making things here in england:
"That needs to move 50cm" meant it had to move exactly 500mm
"That needs to move a foot" meant just kick it over about a foot

It was just an unspoken thing that metric meant precise and imperial was just caveman measuring

Got into making redstone logic in Minecraft, including joining a community of people building all kinds of crazy things like CPUs. This was early days too - I think the repeater was brand new

Eventually wanted to make mods so started learning Java. Was bad at it. Then wanted to make games in unity. Was bad at it. Learned C++ at Uni. Dropped out and was bad at it.

Kind of repeated this cycle for various languages and tools for years, never with enough motivation to learn properly. Eventually I hit a critical mass of skill and was able to actually make things in HTML/JS and over a couple years this snowballs until surprisingly quickly I find myself a senior developer teaching others!

I like to shoot for the middle ground: skim for key functions and check those, run code locally to see if it does roughly what I think it should do and if it does merge it into dev and see what breaks.

Small PRs get nitpicked to death since they're almost certainly around more important code

If you only care about australia based for latency reasons give netlify a look.
Super easy to hook up to your git repo and will probably even detect Hugo and configure stuff automatically

Have been really happy with it hosting a couple mostly static websites I've done

Assuming a ground clearance of 10cm, and a wheelbase of 2.4m (source: my ass) then you can construct an arc under the wheels

This arc says you could drive such a car on an earth with radius as small as 7.25m. Actually, it could be slightly smaller because of where the wheels would contact, but I've lost interest

People look down on Javascript (and therefore Typescript) but as someone who learned by doing I think its a really good option

Once you get past the hello world phase you can take it any direction you want: websites/apps, command-line stuff, desktop apps you name it. Just avoid the trap of getting sucked into specific frameworks or loads of tooling early on and learn the language

W3schools is a great resource and you can do the examples and exercises right there in your browser
