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 …

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 calo…

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 f…

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 c…

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 …

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 is…

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…

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.

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 …

My apologies, I assumed your lawn was Open Course.

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 compariso…

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 w…

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 on…

An example where it’s helped me personally is when migrating from Angular Material to Ant Design. The test cases gave me confidence the expected behaviour was preserved
