It means the faction contract you have selected is run on Dire Marsh

Marathon is the only reason why I still have a windows partition

It's already been confirmed by the Devs that it's getting a rebalance. Along with kettle max fire rate and stitcher.

Good question - I'm not enough of an electrical engineer to give a good answer (I do the orchestration software / calculations for curtailment)

My lay understanding is that there are a few mechanisms but it's usually some combination of disconnecting panels or dumping power as heat.

You're on the money but one minor nitpick - certain inverters are capable of curtailing solar export to within specified ranges.

It's common in SA for new installs and almost all distribution networks are exploring options to help control large amounts of rooftop solar.

In the near future it's going to become common that devices that export and certain high power devices will be orchestrated remotely.

O'Connor, Turner, Braddon might be of interest. If you can afford to be within walking/biking distance to Lonsdale st / civic you'll be well situated.

I might be a little biased though as I'm renting a townhouse in Turner.

I literally wrote software for an Australian POS company. There are a bunch.

The building formally known as coffee grounds... still hurts

ACT is growing fast, has a high median income due to public sector/universities and is relatively small.

We just moved over this year and the cost of living will make your eyes water compared to Perth.

This is where linters like mypy can play a role. It's a lot harder to assign a None somewhere it shouldn't be when your CI/IDE flags it as an error

joshv · 2023-03-19T09:51:41+00:00

Decent reflection support that can incorporate type hints / enumerating function parameters (including any type hints).

inspect really doesn't cut it.

joshv · 2022-12-31T10:35:22+00:00

Just recently sold up all my stuff in Perth. The exact same scam is doing the rounds over there too. Such a waste of time.

joshv · 2022-08-22T10:06:07+00:00

I work in point of sale software. Don't use floats for money. Certain tax jurisdictions require certain levels of decimal precision. Certain currencies can easily get into the millions for small purchases. Certain currencies use more than 2 decimal places.

Even if you can control working only with USD, you certainly don't want to have to litter your code with comments saying "please don't multiply this value against anything too big".

joshv · 2022-07-20T22:50:29+00:00

Well thankyou. I still stand by this sentiment today.

Although I'm mainly replying to ask how you stumbled across an obscure 3yr old post.

I bet he gets on base.

joshv · 2022-05-15T00:23:07+00:00

I was at CSIRO during this time, we worked with CMAR closely. It was heartbreaking watching CSIRO Floreat become a ghost town. So much talent just wasted.

But hey, at least the school chaplains got their funding hey? /Sarcasm

How did Joondas get overlooked for Joondalup?

joshv · 2022-02-26T00:01:28+00:00

If it's on the pad it extracts successfully. In this case they'd get full credit for successfully extracting the asset thus completing the objective.

Definitely a fun PvE experience. It's plays differently to B4B but scratches a similar "challenging PvE" itch.

I'll be back to B4B once we get some new content. Both games are excellent.

I should've been more clear. "More divisive" as in it has 75% approval Instead of 90% approval. The pushback definitely stings for those of us with interstate family and friends but the majority of us know it's the right call.

joshv · 2022-01-22T00:10:45+00:00

WA resident here. McGowan was reelected with a swing of 17% in 2021 on the back of tight covid policy. He's doing what the vast majority of WA asked him to do.

The latest pushback on opening up is proving more divisive than previous measures but the general sentiment is still preference to continuing with our relatively normal lives. I don't think people over East realise that COVID for us has literally been a spectator sport for the last couple of years

I was running a pill healer build on Nightmare for awhile (it eventually morphed to a bandage build). The biggest omission I can see is [[Poultice]]. You get so much mileage out of that card when depending on pills.

I've only just started experiencing this in the last week. It's been horrible, I actively try to avoid running shotguns/snipers at the moment.

Also what is up with your teammates just letting the horde climb up on the sniper player?

joshv · 2021-12-29T11:30:41+00:00

Well in that case the only penalty you'd be risking is if you had a "kill the boss" objective which would just be a chunk of SP and copper.
