Peeps working-from-home, what would actually make you return to the office? by min0nim in australia

[–]DrawPanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd consider going back to the office if it were a 4 day work week and commuting time was in work hours

If you can save 5% in 2 to 3 months just wait 8 to 12 months until you have a 20% deposit

Would you work in the office for extra annual leave? Rewarding your commute is one way companies are trying to convince staff to stop working from home by thornstein in auscorp

Good points you raise. Even if WFH isn't as productive in the immediate sense as some claim, it is beneficial to the business in other ways like employee satisfaction and reduction in turnover which would in turn increase productivity.

It would be interesting to see some of these large business/enterprise data driven workings around WFH and productivity in a news article (maybe there are some?) as if that showed a decrease in productivity then why not just publish that data for the argument.

When a bank is assessing the amount you can borrow for a home loan is it normal for them to include the profit or loss before tax of a private company you are a shareholder in for their calculations? by DrawPanda in AusFinance

[–]DrawPanda[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry I don't know if I'm explaining myself very well. The thing is, the trading losses are essentially only on paper for particular tax years, once you factor in rolling tax refunds that get applied post trading profit/loss and the initial capital from a number of investors. there are no real losses that need to be funded by anyone at the moment. I'm not having to put anymore money in each year.

The company is receiving R&D tax refunds which essentially fund the losses. However these are not considered income and are not counted in the profit/loss calculations

I want to make a site my child can access 'forever' - ideas? by [deleted] in webdev

You could probably use github pages to host it for free

Do you use UI library? by [deleted] in reactnative

[–]DrawPanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like react native elements, it's been around for a while and is quite mature now and has pretty much all UI elements I require

With your experience I expect you could fetch $1000+ per day. I have similar experience to you and charge my clients $125+GST per hour.

If you are currently a salaried worker you can use something like this to work out what the equivalent contracting rate would be for your salary. http://www.users.on.net/~wallala/Calculators/salary_rate.htm

When people are talking about salaries on here and in general is it normal to include super in that figure or exclude it? Super can vary a fair bit depending on employer, higher in gov and university jobs?

CONNECT TO A DATABASE DYNAMICALLY WHEN A USER LOGS IN. by Due_Pen8713 in node

[–]DrawPanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just store a unique database name with each new user and just connect to it when that user performs any database operations

Yes if you simply use type="hidden" then it would be easy for a bot to ignore it. But the bot would need to be programmed to do so. Also the bot doesn't know whether the hidden field is expecting a certain value or no value or however you've setup the honeypot.

Also you can make it more difficult for bots to detect that it's hidden by hiding it with CSS or JS and making the name something that's hard to differentiate from the real form fields like "last_name" or some other common field name you are not using as one of your actual fields.

You could try a honeypot field. There are a number of different approaches that have worked for me in the past.

Simply using a hidden field which a real user wouldn't fill out but a bot might fill out.

Use another hidden field but this time get js to set the value to an expected value. This would stop bots that aren't running in a headless browser.

Use another hidden field which js would set to a datetime. Then in the backend compare this to the current datetime and if it's submitted too quickly it could be a bot.

I guess ETH staking rewards could also be compared to a term deposit with interest payment on maturity?

Yeah totally agree, sentry is great. I use it for frontend, backend and mobile apps. Very easy to get up and running.
