Albo should immediately announce a 1m EV subsidy: Replacing 1m petrol cars with EVs could cut Australia’s reliance on foreign fuel by 1bn litres a year #AusPol

@glyph made the point that the Neo is an implicit promise from Apple that macOS will run just fine on 8 GB of memory for the next 8 years.

But I think it goes farther than that: Apple made a reference device for application developers. They've never been shy about enforcing requirements on developers, and this is an interesting positive side to that: developers now have a huge incentive to make applications that fit within modest memory limits.

[EDIT: now sorted thank you SO MUCH!]

Heads up my dudes, my son needs to do work experience this summer and he's a programmer. Nearly 15, can do 3 decent languages, main in Java, been programming since 4. All he wants to do is be a developer. Anyone offer work experience these days? Two weeks in July. London or Dartford way or anywhere in between. Ta! Retoots appreciated!

I learned a new word today.

'Binfluencer'

That's the guy on your street who puts the correct bin out early each week, thus signalling to everyone else which one they need to take out.

Join us and the Python Australia Community on discord for our first online CFP workshop!

It's free to attend, running this Thursday at 6pm AEDT.

You don't need to RSVP, but make sure you join the discord server ahead of time!

This is happening tomorrow! Please help me get the word out 🙏

Free to attend. Very chill and friendly environment. Hands on and practical tips for submitting talk ideas to conferences!

And perfectly timed for @pyconau‘s open CFP right now!

What more could you want. See you there?! 👋👇🏼

@bwebster wow. yeah, none of the tools i tried knew intrinsically that it needed to do *anything* to the outline view. every tool i’ve tried assumed that the delegate callback was the right place.

currently the latest GPT model is attempting to put the code into the drag destination. it’s an ok way forward , but it has yet to create a build that does anything to the drag image. i’m on my sixth try and the last three builds just crash.

My full Swift and SwiftUI Network Manager series is now available in one playlist. In three videos you’ll build a reusable networking layer using async/await, generics, and improved error handling for JSON decoding.
