Yes, I understand some of the concern is around requiring religious officials to marry same sex couples. As I understand it under the proposed bill they would be forced to.
I've had a 15" Macbook Pro since late 2013.

It was perfect in every way.

It never crashed, it was never slow and it had GNU tools built right in, but out of the way so I could enjoy the simple and practical UI.

Then one day my X key started missing a keystroke now and then.

Later it started missing strokes.

Then after a while it started to input 'x' when I wasn't pushing the key once in a while.

Eventually the entire computer became unusable because as soon as it powered on it would start to repeatedly ghost type the letter X, resulting in the OS disabling the X key at boot.

So I took it to the Apple store.

"They'll just pop the key off and replace it, maybe clean out under it" I thought. "Worse case scenario I'll have to pay $20 for a new keyboard."

Haha no.

Apple wanted $400 to fix the X key because they refused to simply fix one key. And they refused to simply replace the keyboard. No, the only way they would fix it would be to replace the entire lower deck and that would cost $400.

I had no choice. I needed my computer for business because all of my work depended on it. So I gave the $400.

My computer came back and it worked great for a while, about 8 months.

Then one day the G key started to miss a keystroke once in a while.

I think you know where this is going.

I continued to use the computer until the G key completely failed and began to ghost type G all the time.

This time I didn't have $400, so the broken key rendered my computer completely useless because my disk unlock password had the letter G in it, rendering the OS unbootable.

Even using an external keyboard didn't work because when the OS disabled the letter G at boot it disabled it on both the internal and the external keyboard.

So now I have a computer rendered useless by poverty.

If it was a Lenovo laptop, I would have called Lenovo and they would've overnighted me a free replacement keyboard, which I would have replaced myself in five minutes by removing a few screws, swapping it out and replacing the screws (I've done it on several Lenovo laptops).

I have a perfectly usable Macbook Pro sitting there in the corner rendered unuseable by a single broken key.
The late 2014 rMBP's were the last of the good ones. After that they put the stupid "force touch" trackpads in them, which have slightly but perceptibly worse mechanical response to being clicked. I still miss my 2014's trackpad all the time.

Wow... haven't thought about fishbone in a long time, but I think you're right. I had a boss who was in to fishbone. Gosh, this was probably... 1989? 1990? I was possibly just a tad too young to get in to them at that time, and, to many people, he was probably just a bit too old to be in to fishbone at that point, but... he loved 'em :)

It does come across as a bit odd, I can sort of understand not wanting to vote on something when you can't really see the full picture of what you're voting on. Hell just because this came up as a 'YES', that doesn't mean whatever law gets put forward is actually going to be in the best interest of same-sex couples - they also don't know what they voted on.

I'd be interested to hear the opinion of a same-sex couple if, hypothetically, the law is modified such that they can get married BUT they can be refused services related to that marriage on religious grounds. If they knew that was what would happen, would they vote yes?

The former reflects classical liberalism, which is the belief that the government should get involved when fraud or aggression has occurred, and deter crime through deterrence.

The current regulatory system reflects the belief that government ought to preempt crime by creating centralized gatekeepers that impose blanket bans on entire categories of voluntary exchange (e.g. securities issuance), that are only lifted on a case-by-case basis if one is approved/registered by/with that gatekeeper.

> I fully expect that this move will certainly lose Mozilla a few Firefox users, but on balance it'll be a net win

I certainly hope so, for the sake of an open web. Hope they can take on the universal pushing and bundling that Google does with Chrome. Anecdotally I can say that none of my acquaintances are even aware of Firefox because Chrome can with their OS and they never saw a need to look beyond it. I hope Mozilla has a clear strategy to advocate and market Firefox, since technical merit alone is not going to out-compete Chrome's entrenched position.
> It's a shame it got so muddied.

The whole structure of the survey (not vote) was deliberately done to confuse the issue.

- It's not legally binding on the parliament (it's a survey, not a vote)

- It's not mandatory participation like voting (again, survey)

- It was done by the ABS with responses tracable back to the person - supposedly those responses will be destroyed and not recorded elsewhere.

- It was mailed out in recognisable letters, allowing sabotage of the survey (plenty of examples of letters being dumped on footpaths, some examples of someone responding on behalf of others)

- Responses were sent back in recognisable envelopes through which you could see the response, again permitting anyone with access to the mail to tamper/destroy responses they disagreed with.

- Those handling the responses were put under gag clauses which prevent them from talking about any issues they might have witnessed.

- No independent witnesses to the counting process.

Yes, these agencies are largely the reason that air travel is significantly safer than driving (or even crossing the street). They are pretty much the poster-children for how regulation should work, in a lot of ways. Not a popular opinion among the "move-fast-and-break-things" crowd but one you'll appreciate the next time you and 300 other people are strapped into a flying bomb.
I agree with you, but I don't think to the degree you'd like. Yes, people need to take responsibility for taking risks (intentionally or otherwise) when those risks result in bad consequences.

I think the concept of "fault" is really just not useful here. Sure, if I forget to lock my door, and I get robbed, I share some of the fault ("just as much", though -- hell no), but... so what? The result is the same as if I did lock the door and they broke in anyway. I certainly screwed up, but that doesn't somehow make it more moral/legal/ethical for the thief to come in and steal.

> We don’t live in a vacuum we know exactly how to avoid various situations which is why we don’t leave a laptop visible in the backseat of a car when we park it in public, why we secure our bikes, lock our doors and don’t use 123456 as a password.

The problem is that this is a super cynical view of society. We are actively making society worse by thinking this. I've been in countries where people park their scooters on the sidewalk and leave their helmets unsecured on the seat for hours. No one steals, because that just isn't done.

And what's so magically different? If I go and park my car in a safe suburb in the US, I can leave my laptop visible in the backseat without consequence. If I do that in certain parts of a city, well, there goes my window and my laptop. Do we really want to teach people that they have to be paranoid about everything? Do we really want it to be accepted and ok that your belongings aren't safe inside a locked car? That's a pretty shitty society, if so.

I hesitate to use this example since it's a sensitive topic, but you can easily extend this to the tired "well if she had been dressed mode modestly, maybe she wouldn't have gotten raped". Obviously getting a bike stolen because you didn't lock it is nowhere near as bad. But you're muddling cause and effect here. "The bike got stolen because it was unsecured." No, the bike got stolen because there are assholes who steal bikes. "That woman got raped because she wore suggestive clothing." No, she got raped because there are piece of shit assholes who rape women.
It's more a case of, they would already be forced to under existing laws and the new bill does nothing to change that situation. (if that makes sense?)

What is a little unclear, is how the intention of a service provider (lets say, a photographer) is determined if a same-sex couple makes a complaint about them refusing service. If the photographer was just very busy, or didn't want to shoot their wedding for an unrelated reason, how would they prove that in court?

I agree. I don't know why this is necessarily wrong. Maybe I like the current political stance, whatever that is. If any one of us thinks it's wrong, we can act and speak and accept accordingly.
HaxeDevelop isn't going to run on Linux or Mac, that's the point. Programming communities should focus on writing language servers and let developers use their favorite IDE instead of forcing people to use a specific IDE.
People have a tendency to ping me either about languages or open source stuff, especially when it seems a bit off the rails.

So basically either legal problems or go generics.

> survey (not vote)

Yeah, I'm aware that genuine postal referenda are probably not lawful in Australia; which is good for the many reasons you add. ;- )

I meant "vote" in the more casual sense, since it's a multiple choice question gathering responses from a demographic, it is a poll in the strictest sense. An individual response to a poll is a vote, whether it's binding, non-binding, serious, humourous, legitimate, or illegitimate.

I'm more concerned why you don't think that's sexual contact.

Let's flip it around.

A sexually-involved couple is at home with a vibrator. The vibrator is inserted into one of them. The other person reaches over and turns the vibrator on. They both enjoy the experience. I think we can agree that this is sexual contact, no?

How is it then not sexual contact if the two people don't know each other, and the activation of the vibrator is done over bluetooth instead?

> If somebody just uses the access to flash the lights on it in a silly way, is that nefarious sexual intent?

It depends on the intent. If that person is getting off by doing so, then yes, certainly. If not, I dunno, maybe? Maybe not?

If someone gets off masturbating in front of an unwilling audience, that's still at the very least sexual harassment, if not more. It doesn't have to be designed to get the other person off or touch them in a sexual way to be wrong.
> they would already be forced to under existing laws

Well, the reason there isn't an exception for that is that it has not applied this whole time in the first place. Under existing laws, they are not forced to, whether that's by default or not.
I'm disagreeing with the premise that because someone doesn't speak up, they must agree with the status quo. These things don't follow. They simply don't disagree enough to risk whatever they would be risking by speaking up.

Experiments on the mechanization of game-learning (1963)
I was a user of a very early version of Zortech C++ (one of the first native C++ compilers (late '80s); no running through cfront) and ran into a very subtle bug in the math routines: sometimes when doing math with 8 bit values the answers would be corrupted. Took a while for me to track down the bug but I eventually found it in the assembly output. Turns out that the math was actually being done with 16 bit registers and the high byte (AH) was not being cleared and this would sometimes set a carry (I think, my memory is fuzzy on the details).

Walter was quick with a fix. Sometimes it is the compiler, but usually it's not.
> it's abundantly clear that deviating even slightly from the orthodoxy within tech can be disastrous to one's ability to pay for their home and food

This does not square with reality as I've experienced it. Hell, I've worked with someone who thought von Mises had a point--and he'd argue with you about it. Loudly, in public, and in written formats. There are receipts. And yet somehow, despite the mustachio-twirling machinations of the "orthodoxy", he's still thriving in the industry. Promoted regularly, big fat stock-option grants, the works. Despite not being anything special technically, just another guy. Somehow, disagreeing but not being an odious prick about it seems to go okay, and he's certainly not the only well-paid-and-respected person I know in the industry with loony views. (He's the only one I know who I like, but that's another thing.)

But I left a catch in there. There's that "being an odious prick about it" part, isn't there? There's the "writing manifestos impugning your coworkers based on their gender" part, there's the "throwing money at political factions bent on making the lives of your coworkers worse" part. Yeah, that's going to get people mad. That might make people not want to work with you. But why should they? When you're an active threat to their well-being, of course they want to see the back of you. And it sure sounds like you're mixing that up with "deviating even slightly from the orthodoxy".
well 1password has wifi sync, and also sync via icloud/dropbox, so unless you use their built in service, it’s not really an issue (at least for targeted attacks)

also, they store the vaults encrypted anyway; you unlock it locally with a password, so even with a hack you still are reasonably safe.

> Why on Earth do we need a language that [...]

Have someone sit down with you and explain how slow computers were in the 1970's. C won because it could be efficiently implemented on everything, produce better code than pretty much anything else, and still produce effective software quickly. And everything after that is a network effect because of all the inherited C.

Your complaint has been repeated ad nauseum by literally generations of programmers who simply can't imagine why everyone did things this way, and who then go on to productive careers writing or integrating or just living with software still written in C.

If you want to change the world, you need to stop pontificating and roll up your sleeves. There's a whole lot of code to write in rust, or whatever your particular brand of zealotry demands.

I'm an avid bootleg collector of certain bands. While I won't say that every good band necessarily sounds better live, most of them do. In exchange for an arguably muddy sound (which can be greatly improved by a good recorder or a soundboard recording), you get:

- A band that has played the same set dozens of times and knows the songs backwards and forth, as opposed to when the songs were being recorded for the album and still in flux. The performance is tighter, and the band often makes (welcome) variations to keep it interesting.

- New spins on old songs, or covers of other songs, made to fill out the setlist. Most of these never make it onto official albums.

- The benefit of multiple performances for a particular lineup or point in time. There are so many amazing bands that only had a particular singer / lineup for one or two albums. But with recorded concerts, you can get a few more performances out of that lineup. Even if the lineup itself remained through the albums, the delivery may have changed. Anyone who's a fan of Queensryche knew that Geoff Tate by the early-90's and on didn't have half the vocal sustaining power that he had in 1983. 1983-1986 Queensryche bootlegs are some of the most enjoyable in my collection.
No, they would not.

Those solemnising religious marriages can already refuse to do so - for example, divorcees can remarry in Australia however the Catholic Church will refuse to solemnise such marriages.

The situation with same-sex marriage is exactly the same.
Not surprising. If you are expected to do a lot of work for below or market standard pay, you are likely to quit soon.
There also seems to have been a large portion of the Australian radical-nationalist demographic (typically white supremacy groups akin to Reclaim Australia etc) campaigned for voting "no" under some bizarre narrative that legalisation of gay marriage would somehow enable Arabic Muslims (who these groups seem to have a comically irrational fear of) to have legally recognised polygamous marriages in Australia.

The influence exerted by radical sensationalist groups like these on politics is disgusting really, it's made even worse that the vast majority of information shared by these groups is incorrect or intentionally misleading/manipulative like the case I just mentioned

I used to be a huge fan of munin for capturing system utilization metrics and seeing what was going on when things weren't working well. While munin was easy and automatic to set up, it captured data infrequently and put quite a bit of stress on the host.

I've since move to an infrastructure using InfluxDB, Telegraf, and Grafana. That system replaced collectd, which worked and produced high-resolution data, but also put a high load on the hosts.

But I just learned about netdata and installed it on my dev and staging environments and it looks really good. It requires basically no setup to capture useful data, generates great graphs, and looks like it could expand greatly (putting data into Influx or Prometheus, etc). The default graphs are great, much easier to get into than the other system I set up.

I've been using Firefox nightly after Quantum changes got in and I love it. I use it as my default browser.

Now that the changes are mainstream I'll be switching to version 57.

But I can't stop using Chrome yet. We write a lot of functional tests and Chrome is better at it.

It's got libraries like Puppeteer, good Webdriver support and a headless mode that just works. I can't put my finger on it, but it's difficult to run automated tests with Firefox.

I hope Firefox gets something like Chrome's DevTools protocol.
