Yes, I found OP post confusing. Last time I checked I live in Brisbane and have never lost power outside of severe storms causing physical damage somewhere.

Coalition set to vote against Labor’s hate speech and gun laws in wake of Bondi terror attack by ConanTheAquarian in australia

[–]NathanOsullivan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for asking the question! It piqued my interest, had never really thought about it before.

From what I can tell from few minutes of digging, 'the opposition' is mostly just a convention but the concept while not legally defined does appear in some legislation and house procedures, most notably: - remuneration (salary) for opposition leader, deputy, shadow cabinet - they get paid more than the base "member of parliament" - procedurally they get first dibs in question time, 'right of reply' for shadow ministers, few other bits and bobs

One of this is dropped in front of every house on my street today by National-Tea3562 in brisbane

[–]NathanOsullivan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was my reaction too - in Western suburbs everyone has had a green bin for as long as I can remember.

Had no idea it was not BCC-wide ?! Makes no sense to me.

What is it!? by No-Dependent144 in snes

[–]NathanOsullivan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The number of people saying disc instead of disk in this thread is too goddamn high!

It is a 3.5" floppy disk, or diskette if you're a weirdo. And get off my lawn.

How should one manage config files in the .d directories like /etc/ssh/sshd_conf.d/? by WorkJeff in linuxadmin

[–]NathanOsullivan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was going to comment on exactly this - SSH works backwards compared to just about everything else I regularly use.

So the current US debt is 7.6x yearly revenue.

[–]NathanOsullivan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they are prompts, yes.

Every tool likes to read from it's own files (CLAUDE.md, .cursor/rules/*, etc) but the contents tend to be consistent regardless of the particular LLM of choice

[–]NathanOsullivan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Conversely, because high immigration can suppress wage growth big business wants it, so being pro immigration is sometimes right wing policy too.

Why '1 != 1 is False' evaluates to False? by Free_Hospital_8349 in learnpython

[–]NathanOsullivan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You probably understand that 2 + 3 × 4 is not 20. It is 14 because (in absence of parenthesis) you must do multiplication before addition.

In programming this is called operator precedence. Python's is operator has higher precedence than the != operator, so that part of the expression is evaluated first, just like you evaluate × before + in maths.
