At least it's a wonderfully round number :)

Quite timely, I cancelled my personal all-products yesterday, likely going to re-direct those $ to a Claude subscription. In recent times it seems like IntelliJ has become what I r…

(not an American) .. but only if there was a group of people with lots of extra money just sitting around invested in things growing in value ;-)

the factory must grow ;-)

I'd say damn near 20yrs. I used it quite extensively about 10yrs ago and it was an odd one then, but was very useful for the purpose we had (semantic validation of XML payloads).

When it comes to AWS Cloudformation, I love YAML. Can't think of any other positive use though.

LOL ... well that's more than a tad ridic. An additional private generator might be in order if you're in the US.

Interesting that for a largely US focused article the stock image is of Perth, AU - https://www.google.com/maps/@-31.9678004,115.8467131,376a,35... :)

Yes, we're not gonna run out. WA ships nearly a billion tons/yr.

220bn profit? Really? Surely they mean "revenue"

oh ... and the only game where i've regularly hit 2am and thought "one more thing..."

It's an uninterrupted treadmill cos you just spent 3 hours extra doing seventeen other things and realise you still haven't actually "fixed the copper" or whatever the heck it was …

Bought the app, well worth it! Currently using two phones and my progress syncing perfectly ... like one should expect!

Initially I was that way too, only took a couple weeks and a few reference templates that demonstrated the constructs to get past that and haven't done JSON since. Definitely more …

Absolutely agree! Have been smashing out YAML templates for 12mths with pleasure (3yrs of JSON templates beyond that), comments are the winning proposition, allows neat sectioning …

good summary. Only bit missing would be the recently / soon to be phased out $2 non-bank ATM price gouge

These "company managed" pension schemes have always fascinated me and would seem ripe for corruption / raiding by the company if they're short a few $$$. Seems like in Australia we…

"weird" wouldn't be my first choice of word, desperate for a "hip", short domain and willing to take any name maybe.

They slot 'sponsered content' blocks into your stream of saved items, it's done very well IMO. These have to make some decent $$$ surely. However, I just checked my queue and could…

It used to be 1hr each way and getting worse [ https://audit.wa.gov.au/reports-and-publications/reports/mai... ], then moved and am now 7-14 minutes away (depending on trains at a …

Yes, for which I use NewsBlur.

Agree 100%. I've been using XSLT very extensively in my current role for at least two years now and I love it! However, I can say with certainty that I'm the only one within my tea…

Apparently 24th fastest, nice to see the Govt shelling out for some decent power for once.
