No time spent creating new branches for new features.
No time spent switching between branches to address feedback.

Really? I mean, I get you want to recommend an infrastructure as code tool, but I really wouldn't consider it in the category of "[features] which you almost never need to consider alternatives."

The screams during turbulence are one of my highlights when flying. Doesn't happen very often these days unfortunately... 20 years ago flying used to be like going on a theme park ride.

The purpose of the battery isn’t to power the entire state for 15 minutes.
It can respond to market demand within milliseconds, and after coming online was responsible for dropping the average wholesale price of electricity by 90%.

Nope, calling bull on this. Not by a long shot. Japan has been a major international tourist destination, particularly in the winter for at least 20 years.

Thanks for the thoughtful response Scott. All the best for this next phase :)

I asked donuts (gTLD owner of .family) whether my domain renewal could be reduced (from $385 per year to something more reasonable for a genealogy hobby). This was their response.
Maybe it’s not worth reading too much into the “we can’t change the renewal cost” line.

Hi Nick,
Unfortunately, we can't change the renewal cost for santamaria.family
If we ever start to change renewals, I will be sure to reach out to help.
Sorry about that.

Scott’s Cheap Flights no longer sending deals outside of the USA
It’s been a little while since I’ve received a deal email (located in Australia) and I just received this email today. Such a shame, this service not only saved me money, but also gave me a little day-dream every time a new destination appeared in my inbox.Anyone know what has happened?——Hi there, Scott here.

I have a late model VW Tiguan and it has a great design with physical controls + large capacitive touch screen.
No critical driving functions are controlled by the touch screen.
I think this is a very usable approach.

90% of our population lives within 100km of the coast between Melbourne and Cairns.
However agricultural usage extends far inland in the temperate regions and there has been a lot of opposition to mining activities in our “wheat belts”.

Re:Is ‘culture fit’ merely a code word for unethical discrimination?

In my experience on the hiring side of the equation, recruiters often _demand_ a reason why an applicant was rejected. I'd prefer to diplomatically say they were a poor culture fit rather than explain that they were conceited, had poor english skills, or seemed high maintenance.

The fact that php.module ever existed in the codebase is a downright travesty. As soon as any privileged user was compromised (i.e. someone with "administer users" or "administer site configuration" permissions) the attacker had arbitrary remote code execution.
My projects had a patch to remove that entire module from core on each build.

The sad reality is that our government thinks only in timespans less than an election cycle. Any large-scale national infrastructure project is basically a non-starter now, the Liberals trashed the NBN and they will trash anything else that threatens their neo-conservative ideology.
