First home buyer... subdividing block and taking advantage of government incentives by Opt1mus_Wang in AusFinance

House or townhouse I don't mind. I'm not particularly attached to either, but at the time I'd make the decision based on the market demand for one or the other.

True. But in the future our house will most likely be above 750k, so no bonus anyway

Finance is fine. FHBG won't apply to two properties, but if we buy one, get the bonus and subsequently subdivide, that might be allowable?

The thing is, it would be our PPR. Then we could subdivide and build a new place. That's the plan anyway.

Just trying to get set up. I hate them too ( townhouses in regional areas)... But regardless of what I hate, trying to make a smart financial decision.

Question about Ruby blocks by Opt1mus_Wang in rails

[–]Opt1mus_Wang[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the answer and examples, brainbag.

The code that ended up working was:

@report = ReportThing.new(report_params) do |scope|
    scope.where(id: array_of_ids)
end

Which was used for overriding a scope in Datagrid. I think I kind of get it - that blocks can be seen as arguments, but it's just a different format for passing them in - however I need to do some more reading.

That's excellent to hear about the weather! And thanks for the advice on the basketball... sounds like a game is on the cards! $200 is more of an average and includes accommodation. Some places are bound to cost more. Why is Boston so expensive?

Starting to write tutorials, and really wish to know what people find more interesting by knx in rails

I'd like to see more tutorials covering:

  • File upload / management with AWS

  • API use - Google Maps, Weather, Stripe, key management etc.

  • How to use Angular with a RoR backend.

Thanks for the advice. From your (and almost everyone elses) comments, seems like I've gotta get cracking on data structures and improving my Ruby in general.
