It’s kind of funny that they can more reliably spit out code that will give an answer than actually output the answer as text. I guess it’s a workaround that works well for many cases

It's a Japanese phrase related to Buddhism: https://jisho.org/search/gokurakujoudo

Of course they also might just be a fan of J-Pop https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gokuraku_Jodo

I must say I always liked being able to use RealMe as kind of a single sign on for multiple sites, it’s a shame it never got more widespread

Hello from New Zealand, just completed my second degree black belt exam in Goju Ryu karate.

Martial arts a big passion of mine,currently I'm trying to internalise a weekend of training (the new things you learn slip away so fast) and thinking about the next step on my M.A journey.

I built something very similar a few years ago https://hex-colours.netlify.app/

Pretty neat, I also keep a reading list on my personal site but it pales in comparison to what you've built: https://www.mathew-paul.nz/reading-list/

Fighting the urge to improve mine after seeing the variety of implementations in the comments!

This is the actual source of the story (stuff.co.NZ not stuff.co.NAZ as news18 reports..) https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/125567224/tiddlywink-stuck-...

No need for that, we're doing fine. Most of the country is already on it's way back to normality. The most populous city is still locked down but it's better to be locked down for 2 months than to have the hospitals clogged with Covid patients and have everyone you know getting sick. Looking forward to enjoying another long stretch without restrictions after this!

There is a similar policy being debated by the city council in Auckland, New Zealand. Parking spaces for new builds either need to have electric car chargers or have power run to the parking space so that it can be upgraded with a easily. The minimum number of car parking spaces which were previously mandated are also being removed.

> Finder is unbelievably bad compared to Nautilus

Whats so bad about finder?

Would you care to share any recommendations for alternative programs?

Yeah, as a Kiwi it's a bit annoying to have the local media only compare us to Sweden and places that have had a terrible time with the virus. I'd like to see us compared more with the places you mentioned, as well as Taiwan. If you want to have the best response to the virus you need to look to the other success stories.

I've been debating subscribing to Todoist so I can get notifications, but after seeing this it looks like I've found something better to subscribe to :)

Keep up the good work, this is really feature rich!

That sounds quite interesting, do you recall what any of those videos are called or who uploaded them?

Beautiful! I've added it to my list of retro css: https://github.com/matt-auckland/retro-css

1) Built a crappy cordova clone of an Android app I used (ThingCounter) to better suit my needs. It helps me track my reps for kata [1] and set goals to meet by certain dates.

2) Built another cordova app which bundles a load of videos I use as reference for training (Okinawan weapons [2] kata), need to compress the videos better, the app came out at 800MB+.

3) Reading through Automate the Boring Stuff to relearn Python

I'm not sure which timezone you're in but, yesterday (Wed 6 May) in New Zealand we recorded one confirmed case, one probable case and one death.

We still have a ways to go before we're out of the woods. We have some reassuring signs though (many consecutive days of < 10 cases detected).

I've noticed there are a couple of these now so I threw a quick list up on Github: https://github.com/matt-auckland/retro-css
