In NZ the liability is generally on you and not the accountant.

And as further punishment they will now be supplying toast with Marmite.

I just finished the full cast Harry Potter audiobooks and they were fantastic.

Currently reading and recommending - Endurance by Alfred Lansing. Sir Earnest Shackleton’s attempt to cross the Antarctic.

Majora’s Mask is fantastic

I spent hours playing with that tool

I did this in my backyard in NZ. Built out of "Structural Insulated Panels" it holds the heat well over winter and never gets too hot over summer.

I spent about 14-15k NZD 2 years ago to get it setup. I wish I had done it years ago.

This looks so cool. Nice work :D

I used to check this occasionally and it was always fairly accurate but this year in particular it has been wildly wrong. Loads of random torrents appearing on my IPs and then checking other IPs I know for sure can’t have torrents running it reports more random collections.

I’m not sure if the service just makes things up now or it’s a result of people flooding bit torrent with random IPs to try hide themselves?

I'll give this a go, battery has been draining pretty quick with all this multi agent dev

I'm not sure I the Tamagotchi deserves a place on here.

Did anything really kill it? It was kind of just a fad in the late 90s and its still around, not as popular as its fad stages but still reasonably popular. We just got back from Japan last week, there is a newly opened "Tamagotchi Factory" shop which was packed. The kids each picked up one of the latest versions and have been playing with them every day.

I came from dealing with various node / ruby / python versions across multiple projects where I used nvim / rbenv and some python manager. Miss is nice as you can just switch to it and not relearn anything, it just works with the old configs.

I haven’t tried make with our setup but nix was too much of a hassle. Especially when some projects required old versions of libraries across dev (macOS) and staging/prod for various Linux OS.

I had this exp too, but I trialed the pro sub a few weeks back and it has been great. I have no complaints this time

Not sure about stress, but definitely have the same exp re sleep. If I’m tired the ringing is very noticeable, when I wake up early after a late night it can be deafening. But besides from noticing it being “louder” it seems to go away, or I just ignore it.

I loved GTA II and spent hours playing it when I was about 14 or so. I don't recall keeping up with III's development at all and I remember seeing it popup on Kazaa one day, in an exe not much over 100mb. I was expecting another top down addition to the series and my mind was blown. Not only that it was this massive 3d game, but that someone had managed to compress it all down to such a small package.

Gemini has been fantastic for me the last month or so.

Ugh it annoys me so much that the desktop etc is all in one drive without me setting it that way. But then there is still a desktop/documents directory in the usual spot under your profile, just the files don’t appear if you actually look at the desktop.

It’s a fantastic feature and works really well, my problem is I can never invest the required time to learn the interface. It all falls apart when I need to switch modes to move something or whatever. With scad can usually knock whatever I want together pretty quickly without having to relearn how to use the tool.

Our Magna tiles get so much use. I should really buy the kids some more.

And that Modu stuff looks so cool, I’ve never seen that before.

5 year old - laser tag, brain rot toys 8 year old - roller skates, make up/face paint

And just random stocking stuffers / books, etc.

One neat thing we found was a frog dissection toy - https://www.thewarehouse.co.nz/p/slimy-dissect-mini-frog-wit...

Also AI could also generate some code to enable the artists to make their own unique games. There will be loads of creative types out there who can unlock some neat concepts with AI support

Guess it's time for my annual reading of Andy's Crash blog :D

Yeah that part was amazing. It was 2006, I'd softmoded the Xbox with the Splinter Cell hack. I had 2MBs ADSL capped @ 10GB for international data but unlimited national. I was in a NZ only private tracker to take advantage of that and then the icing on the cake, streaming the multi volume rar files straight to the TV. It really was magic.

That wasn't a condescending comment.

I had a similar script a few years ago when I refused to give up my aging Macbook Air and built a server to host my dev env. I had an rsync command that would sync the differences from my local machine up to the remote box. It was surprisingly quick considering the size of the projects.

Serious question here, are you all good? Your responses here sound like you’ve been through something.

Fantastic, my kids are going to love this.

Seconding the call for a video.

Also the instructions to remove the quarantine attr don't work.

xattr -cr ~/Downloads/FartScrollLid.app 11:12:20

option -r not recognized

edit: that should be `xattr -d FartScrollLid.app`

We have quite a few road side stalls like this around where I live in NZ, Honey, eggs, swedes are a common one. You hear of the odd theft from them every now and then but for the most part it seems to work well.

I have a failed 1x1m cnc build due to a lack of rigidity. I'm in the process of rebuilding it as a wall mounted plotter in my office. I could spend all day watching it move

I started to notice this in a big way at my last job which I started in 2013. We were a rails shop and by about 2016 I was noticing most new hires would have no idea how to write a SQL query.
