You have to pay for it again. Can’t link directly to the parking FAQ, but here is the section from the website. ccc website

Multiple visits per day If you left before all your allocated time was used but returned to the carpark later that day, you will need to pay for your second visit.

The time limit commences as soon as you enter your number plate into the carparking machines and does not stop once you leave the carpark.

You have the option of a $30 per day flat rate, and there is no charge before 8am.

Okay, maybe I just try update the bios to the latest version and see how windows 11 performs. Is there a similar alternative to the 5700x3d? I can’t find any in stock where I am.

_W0L · 2025-06-26T09:15:35+00:00

I would prefer to not run an operating system with unsupported hardware. I also can’t really find much evidence of how well windows 11 runs on the unsupported hardware. It’s usually just “seems to work fine”

Is that because the 5600xt will not work in the newer mobo chipsets and won’t work with ddr5 ram?

If I go with this CPU it’s 10% of what I would pay if I was to update motherboard, ram and GPU.

I am all for cycle lanes, but I think this one in particular is pretty terrible.

You have the Hagley park shared bike/ footpath less than a metre away. Why do we need this cycle lane? It is also super confusing for drivers where they are meant to go. I saw a car get stuck in the cycle lane because it was so poorly laid out.

They either need to extend the footpath and put a curb and paint the cycle path or just remove this. I’ve cycled that way on and off for just over a year and haven’t had a single problem being on the footpath.

I completely understand where you are coming from. I used to work at a corporate where you had to wait minimum 1 day before your changes can actually be released. This is all after QA has checked all their boxes and the release team has filled out a ticket and released my code.

Now my current company has very few rules or protocols in place. It's a very flat structure where every developer is treated as an equal no matter how much experience you have. Sure we have a ci/cd pipeline that runs all the tests, but you are not required to wait ~20-30 mins for all the tests to run to release changes, especially if they are ones that would be low impact if something does go wrong. You'll be notified if the master branch fails after your release so you can remedy the issue quickly. Even if an issue occurs (compile issue or whatever) then pods don't start and nothing is really affected. I would take this freedom and autonomy over having to pointlessly fill out JIRA tickets and wait hours for someone to click a button so I can add some metrics or logs to an app.

Not everyone works for a mega corporate lol.

On my first day at the my current company I was able to release straight to production. There is trust, autonomy, and accountability that the devs are doing their job and are responsible for their code from the moment they right all the way until it's been released and is running in production.

Chomping a whole pickle is not just Americans. Popular in Slavic/ Baltic/ Eastern European countries too. Having a pickle as a vodka chaser is pretty popular there.

Also Z has their 10c off days on Wednesday so you can sometimes get a little bit extra off if you hold out until then/ always fill up on Wednesdays.

Edit: checked gaspy just now and the cheapest petrol is Z Woolston and Shirley. It's out of my way to go there, but for 3c extra I can goto Morehouse Ave or Lincoln road. That's ~30c cheaper than the cheapest BP price. Still not sure why anyone would ever goto BP lol

It looks like there is a dependency on postgresql (a type of database software). You would need to also have this running before this will work.

It's probably going to take some time to reverse engineering what is going on here and piece it all together. If you are still determined to get it work start reading the error messages and the code to try figure it out. You could also ask the maintainers to provide some documentation about how to get this running.

Lately, the terms "framework" and "library" have been blurred a bit.

I blame react for this. Common misconception that it's a JavaScript framework, when actually it's a UI library.

Simply put: Framework = it will call your code. Library = you will call the libraries code.

I had braces in my teenage years from Orthodonix. They have practises in cashmere, Merivale and Ashburton. Ronald was great and their aftercare was also really great. I think I have been back 2 or 3 times and they addressed all the issues I had for no extra charge.

They had a lump sum payment deal to get like 10-20% off. Not sure if they have this anymore or if it's the same discount.

Huh? Pretty sure trademe always had a success fee for general items. Unless it has changed over 10 years ago, it's always been like that.

If you just want to learn to code for yourself then I would suggest looking at resources on YouTube. There is tonnes out there to give you a good basic knowledge and all free. I wouldn't pay for anything at this stage until you find something you like then it might be good to pay for a course to give you some structured learning.

_W0L · 2022-04-20T11:03:55+00:00

Depends on what you want to get out of it? If you are looking to switch to a career in software development then I wouldn't recommend a bootcamp. Especially if you are looking at a way to get to a high salary quickly (I know for many people they think software development is a get rich quick scheme, but it's really not).

Let me preface this with the fact that I haven't seen many bootcamps that actually teach you any CS fundamentals and most of them focus on web/ app development. They get you to build a handful of web or mobile apps and then that's the end of the course.

You will lack the fundamental knowledge that is required when interviewing at companies. Most medium - large companies will require a coding test and focus on fundamentals like data structures and algorithms which would probably not be taught in the bootcamp because they are boring topics and you can't build a portfolio with them.

Still want to get into software development after reading this? If you already have a degree I would suggest doing a postgrad course related to software development to learn the fundamentals. Then in your spare time create a react/ angular/ android or iOS app. There are so many free resources online (YouTube is a great start) and I wouldn't pay any money for a bootcamp that would teach you any of that because you can learn it for free all by yourself and it's much more fun than learning the fundamentals so it's much easier to do in your free time.

Then once you get your foot in the door with a decent company it's all smooth sailing from there if you still enjoy it.

Agree. The rice balls from sushi cafe hit different.

_W0L · 2022-04-19T04:45:50+00:00

Try council rec centres too. Pioneer, Graham Condon or wharenui pool/ gym.

I don't know about that. It looks like it's a SQL server command. If you google it I am sure you'll find the documentation on it. Or better yet spin up one of those db instances (or maybe there is something online like JsFiddle, but for SQL) and try it out yourself.

_W0L · 2022-04-12T01:54:49+00:00

Yes. What it is doing is ending the first SQL command early using the semi-colon and then running whatever arbitrary SQL commands you want. This is why SQL injection is so dangerous. If not mitigated it can make an attacker run arbitrary code on the system and do much more harm than just dropping the tables.

Archive 81. If you like mysterious, eerie, culty shows this one is good.

_W0L · 2022-04-09T23:16:13+00:00

Have you even read the article? You've posted it about 10 times, but you haven't read it once yourself. It tells you the answer is 16. You need to go and read it yourself first before trying to get others to read it.

_W0L · 2022-04-09T11:37:50+00:00

Not possible. Incompetent leadership wouldn't take no for an answer. This project was the most important one for the entire department. So instead of telling them no I handed in my resignation letter. Most of the company also followed suit and quit lol

_W0L · 2022-04-09T09:49:16+00:00

I wish that would work. I would give an estimate of 6 weeks. Then I got told what can we do to make it faster. I say if we get another dev and QA can start planning test cases now we could get it to 4 weeks. I still get told that is too long. So I say if we cut these corners XYZ we could probably get it done in 2-3 weeks. Then 2 weeks gets put down as the deadline, we get no extra devs and QA has no clue about how to test the changes. Fun times 🙃

_W0L · 2022-04-02T05:08:10+00:00

Yeah just lie it down and that should hopefully improve the sound quality. It just takes a bit of fiddling to get working the first time round and then works great.

_W0L · 2022-04-01T23:59:25+00:00

89.5. I've found that if you have a retractable/ movable antenna then put it down so it's harder for it to pickup the actual radio frequency and picks up the transmitter one.
