I'm only 10 minutes away from Brisbane CBD, and my closest bus/train stations have no staff. I remember 15 years ago the train station did having staff there for ticketing, but not…

If someone was working on privileged information (financials etc) then yeah it's probably not great to look at the screen, but if everyone is working on the same projects, then the…

Every time I've returned from Japan, I've always felt compelled to do my best where every I could. Sounds cheesy, but there is something about how well everything runs and has a pl…

Just throwing this out there, buy JR Passes if you are going to be traveling a lot via Shinkansen (especially if you did what we did, Osaka->Kagashima->Kumamoto->Beppu->Nagasaki->H…

I've mentioned this to a friend a few times, the biggest differences between the Japanese and Australian public transport systems is that we (Au) take ours for granted. We don't ca…

We do, not 100% of the time, but damn close (usually non-locals and jerks that will push in past those coming off). As for Japan, I was amazed when taking the trams down in the sou…

"Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."

And that's based on phones that don't take 3 minutes to boot up.. Oh hi old phone :)

From what I was reading, the removal of the favicon in Safari was more just a UI redesign decision to remove "clutter". Personally I don't find a 16x16 icon too intrusive, but hey,…

..and people complain about transparency :) I wasn't calling it a social engineering trick, more that it just felt like one. To the average person they wouldn't second guess the ic…

There's something about their favicon being the default green lock ( https://https.cio.gov/assets/favicon.ico ) that unsettles me. It feels like a social engineering trick.

You sir are correct, and on that note: http://flangipanis.bandcamp.com/ (local punk band), for your safety (and sanity) I recommend not watching the "My Period is Late" video. Real…

Not for/against the code formatting, just giving you a target (just hope you know who you're going after) :D https://github.com/reddit/reddit/commit/8e2737dab409c46d688c...

That or more hardware to overcome bottlenecks caused by bad code. "It's running slow, we need more memory!". After some investigation, really... you've got 8 joins without using ke…

I've been tailing logs for "()" as I've seen a fair amount of () { :fake; } - () picks up some other lines, but I'd rather see everything rather than 90% One thing they didn't ment…

I thought I was just one of the lucky ones to get such an obscene message for a capture... way to spoil my excitement :P

People were bat shit crazy in the middle of that Cold War. If someone randomly decided to turn off machines without notice, even if they said "whoops accident, my bad", their actio…

For security reasons I think that it might have been justified, considering the events that had just taken place. Still a crappy way to go out though.

My thoughts exactly. With that sort of "global" function, you would expect some sort of countdown timer prompt on each terminal that could be cancelled.

The first bit of advice I give to people when they ask where to start is exactly what you did. Take working code and play with it, modify it, make it do what you want. You will lea…

- Self taught, my school's idea of "Computer Studies" was to teach you how to use WordPerfect, and a few other DOS based office apps. - Everything I did before my first coding job …

The scary thing is that I started writing an article about this on the 28th, all due to a comment I was sent by an advertising agency stating that "HTTPS is only really for checkou…

phpStorm and some of the other JetBrains tools are nice, clunky (on lower end machines) but nice.

The canned responses are hurting me to read. Pretty sure comments will be turned off shortly when this blows up.

Been there, had that response. I got the same rejection last year and basically stopped fine tuning my app as I refused to add stuff that it didn't need.
