I like how they are all still 100% appropriate to their positions in a proper alignment chart.

Except Elon, he definitely seems to have a dark undertone under all the bullshit.

Jeff Kennett desperately trying to remain relevant after dropping out of headlines for a few weeks

Great poddie this, they can disappear up their own ass sometimes but they get some great guests on.

He really is stuffed here: nowhere to go but on the attack.

What a lonely, bitter existence these Liberals must lead, forced to drag themselves to the next election through their own mud.

Put it this way: Imagine you'd been trying for fifty years to push a rock up a hill and failed. You've tried a different approach every five years and nothing seemed to work: sometimes it made it worse.

Then a committee of rocks representing the majority of rocks got together and volunteered to come up with new ideas for you. It wouldn't cost you much, and it would make the rocks much happier knowing there's a rock involved in the decision making.

What's the harm? You've failed to push that rock for so long. You've tried everything. Maybe they will be right? And if they are not, you'll be back where you started with sweet FA.

Sure, the rocks down the road are sceptical. But what are their ideas? Are they gonna do anything about it?

I used a third party app so I haven't noticed so much, but j do like the idea that my lurking is not being watched and sold to some corporate entity.

It will be interesting if the NCAC will be able to investigate this: there is no evidence that they knew it was illegal when they implemented it, only that they found out and failed to take action.

Possibly gross negligence? Definition a violation of the spirit of office, but that's not a criminal offence.

The worst part is that there's a significant portion of the country that will vote right MORE due to this coming to light. Ive heard so many people in this country say that the poor, disabled and homeless should just be left to die rather than give them handouts. Often from people of privelidge and power.

This was one of the reasons we switched to docker in the first place. Our Devs with M series processors spent weeks detangling issues with libraries that weren't compatible.

Just started using Docker and all of those issues went away

I found the same thing until I started strictly controlling the resources each container could consume, and also changing to a much beefier machine. Running a single project with a few images were fine, but more than that and the WSL connection would randomly crash or become unresponsive.

Databases in particular you need to watch: left unchecked they will absolutely hog RAM.

Not just OSX: anyone using WSL on windows is an offender too

But as a WSL user, dockerised Dev environments are pretty incredible to have running on a windows machine.

Does it required 64 gig of ram to run all my projects? Yes. Was it worth it? Also yes

I find it interesting that most people don't believe me that Australia is the largest gambling nation per capita. Even after I pull out my phone and show them the stats they don't believe me.

Gambling ads around sport are an issue, but it's just one part of a larger culture of ignoring gambling in our environment. We have gotten so used to ignoring the pokies in every pub and club sucking cash out of pensioners that we apply it to everything. It is our national shame, so we pretend it's not a thing

Unfortunately for the RBA and everyone else a recession is really the only thing that has a chance to lower inflation this high. Everyone talks about the RBA having only one hammer, but in reality it's two: a hammer, and a sledgehammer.

Inflation looks entrenched. There is such a massive supply of money sloshing around the economy, and the cash rates effect spending so unequally, no amount of gentle easing is going to fix the issue. Nor will wages increasing: our labor market has been depressed for decades, you don't unscramble that egg overnight

No I suspect the RBA has known all along the only thing it can really do is turn the economy on and off again. Whether it's from external recessions brining us down or a homegrown one, it will happen. And it's necessary to trigger the kind of large scale pivot we need from price gouging to cost cutting again
