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 investigat…

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 no…

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 have some static websites on S3 and CloudFront. I use https://goaccess.io/ to parse the logs and generate a html report. As mentioned elsewhere in the thread, there is a lot of b…

I see this. My assumption is its some kind of html/js cache, local storage across browser sessions maybe. And when you click an email it realizes it needs to update.

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…

I'm not as jaded, I've been lucky enough to work at nicer places, but having made the same jump I would strongly recommend the same thing. Either nights and weekends, or after a fe…

I remember some launch demos were able to exit, usually with a forced splash screen ad for the full game. I thought it was a neat trick to use the xbox button to quit out of those …

This is Melbourne, Australia. I'm the following is not very scientific, but just to give you an idea of where I'm coming from. Firstly comparing just the numbers of jobs (even tho …

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 wer…

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.

Saga of Ryzom went open source with creative commons assets. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ryzom#Source_code_and_assets_f... Tho on second thoughts I think the server side quests a…
