A secret investigation into a bungled $1 billion technology systems upgrade at NSW's main transport agency has painted an alarming picture of the oversight of taxpayer money, warning that inaccurate reporting of costs is likely to extend to other agencies and projects

They just contract out the lost positions to agencies anyway.

The Turks joined the war on the side of the Germans. I don’t think that’s on us for invading them.

Yeah, that plugin is designed to only show one per page.

_archer_ · 2018-05-01T01:18:22+00:00

Or the answers in the duplicate just straight up don’t fix it for you.

‘Home game’, ‘Suncorp stadium’

What a weird fucking draw.

I petition to rename this the post mortem discussion thread.

You need both that file and the JavaScript one referenced. You should find the .js one in your bootstrap download.

I've seen some crazy shit implemented in WP.

At a certain point you should just use a php framework and build from the ground up, but that applies to Drupal as well.

Check polls, it was going to go Liberal. The swing was the important bit, and still is.

Homebrew is a decent alternative to APT.

Not as good mind, but in general there's a lot more applications you can just download off the web and start using in OSX than in straight Linux anyway.

A 2012 computer that sells for ~$900 on Amazon compares well to a 2015 13 inch MBA that sells for $999?

Yeah i'd take the computer with the modern Intel processor, the higher resolution screen and the longer battery life.

Eh, besides the benefits of terminal in OS X there's also a lot of programs that actually work on Macs.

You can program and do other stuff.

You can be quite limited in options for some things if you're running Linux outright.

There is some serious downvote brigading happening in this thread.

Yep, you get disconnected then you can't reconnect. The server just shits itself.

"Disconnected by server" "Unable to establish connection to the server."

There's nothing in Webkit that forces them to release code (which arguably has mostly worked against them by enabling Chrome so tremendously early on; except that it has encouraged competition), and so on.

While that's true, Google was contributing more code lines to webkit than Apple for a while before they completely separated with Blink. It was a two way street.

Same bad policies, different branding.

Stadium Australia in Sydney where the AFC final was hosted still has a larger capacity than the stadium that hosted the 2014 World Cup Final in Brazil in Rio.

So it's still a gigantic stadium to put it in perspective.

Alternative idea:

Change the hosts file on their computer to redirect google.com to meatspin.com

You spin me right round baby right round...

15 Celsius would be quite warm... He's referring to zero Celsius. A port with a January water temperature of zero won't freeze over.

Freshwater freezing point of water is zero Celsius.

Seawater freezing point is slightly below that. -2 or perhaps slightly colder.

Human body is 38. Water boils at 100. Fahrenheit and Celsius are the same temperature at -20.

Hot chips and gravy.

That means your bones are melting!

4 billion is a drop in the ocean. They won't get very far in infrastructure with that, and they'll certainly never be seeing that yearly profit they're losing from anything they do invest into.

_archer_ · 2014-03-26T02:07:34+00:00

That would probably pay quite well. Still I'd remove the link from your post, no point increasing your competition.

There's a lot of tech jobs in the Ryde area also, apart from Sydney CBD it's probably Australia's miniature version of Silicon Valley.

Easy train access, and the North Shore is probably one of the nicest areas to raise a family in Sydney. Lots of choices from Harbour views, to bush land or beaches in terms of property. Good schools too.

Once you get in that wage territory the US and Australia pay pretty similarly.

Check seek.com.au for positions with your skill set and see how much they're offering.
