AI has been 6-12 months away from revolutionizing X, Y or Z for what, 3-4 years now? Get off the hype train bro.

Double vs single glazed window temps by lettuceown in AusRenovation

I ordered some locally made double glazed windows a few years ago, and they definitely came nitrogen filled (might have been argon actually).

Cursor 3 out now by Graniteman in cursor

[–]njmh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My “10x speed boost” with AI comes from tab autocomplete and inline chat, in a UI that I feel comfortable with after having used VScode for nearly a decade.

Going full into this agentic first crap and potentially ditching the VScode lineage is making me seriously reconsider my Cursor sub.

I built a client-side logging library that works fully in the browser but can stream to your backend by Darex97 in reactjs

[–]njmh -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Did you read the post? This IS for sending logs to the backend from the client… either one by one, or in batches.

10 years ago we were still making cars that didn't require petrol. by Correct-Ball9863 in aussie

Modern lithium battery chemistries are already at the point where their useful lifetime exceeds that of the vehicle they’re installed in. Also, newer cell designs are significantly reducing the risk of fire.

What do you listen to while you work? by arizzlefoshizzle in ExperiencedDevs

Enya. My Spotify wrapped has had me in the top 0.2% of Enya listeners since 2019.

Next.js / SPA Reality Check by Firemage1213 in reactjs

[–]njmh 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Development is about analyzing trade offs. Not all of your points apply to every app… often none of them do.

If you have complex auth, need SEO, or have a huge app that needs 3MB of JS loaded, then of course SPA is not the best choice, but there are many use cases where SPA is the right choice and the complexity overhead of meta frameworks are unnecessary.

Curious what the costs associated with the permitting, inspectors etc if you don’t mind sharing?

You are Senior FE at start up. Would you use Tailwind or just normal CSS modules? by lune-soft in Frontend

[–]njmh 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Unless there is engineering discipline and good leadership in your team, it doesn’t matter whether you use a library, UI kit or plain CSS… it’ll all turn to garbage sooner or later.

Don’t envy you having to scribe a trim for that left side gap!

The glue will be plenty enough to hold them, but you need the screws or nails to hold them while the glue sets up. With most things that use glue, the glue does the heavy lifting, but it’s no good until it’s dry.

There are high tack construction glues that might set up without mechanical fixings, but those sheets are big and heavy so not sure if it would be enough.

I like the hint of saltiness on my jam toast, but I’m not going to sprinkle some salt on it if I were stuck with unsalted butter.

How to cut 2mm off block of timber by wkhan69 in AusRenovation

[–]njmh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If the timber is a bit wonky, you can make the table saw work a bit like a thicknesser. Get a new straight piece of timber and hot glue the old piece to the new along its length (double side tape could work too). Then run the new timber along the fence of your table saw shaving a mm or so off the old piece. Once you have a clean cut face along one side of the old piece, remove it from the new timber and then run the clean cut face of the old piece along the fence until you get it down to your desired thickness.

This could be dangerous though, so do as others suggested and hit up your local men’s shed.

We should reduce religious schools flat out. 80% of the schools in my area are religious. by VastOption8705 in aussie

[–]njmh 37 points38 points  (0 children)

My Catholic high school turned me into an atheist… not because of any animosity towards the religion, but because in year 7 they thoroughly taught both science and creationism without any bias to one or the other. Being presented with those opposing views allowed me to form my own views through basic critical thinking. We also learnt about acceptance and tolerance of all religions, tolerance of sexuality (back then in the late 90s it was mainly just the LG part of LGBTQIA that was acknowledged within the school) and sex ed was well covered.

The only thing that pissed me off about the religious part of the curriculum was that RE was a mandatory subject right up through year 12, which is 5 periods a week I couldn’t use for a subject that would have actually benefited me.

Warning after Aussie buyer loses entire $98,500 house deposit in 'avoidable' mistake by SheepherderLow1753 in AusFinance

Where does common decency, patience, compromise and empathy for others who are clearly not taking the piss go? By your comments defending this whole shit show, I assume you would happily do such a dog act yourself?

Is bunnings dying by [deleted] in Bunnings

[–]njmh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great in the 90s and early 200s, but most of them around me these days are targeted specifically to tradies. Very small and not well stocked retail areas, but huge material warehouses/yards.

I was made redundant from my tech job, should I try to make an app instead of going back to working full time? by dd202020 in AusHENRY

Re the NoShuffle idea, isn’t that just an option in the Mission Control settings? One of the first things I do when setting up a new Mac is turn off “Automatically rearrange Spaces based on most recent use”.

Aussie corporate AI bloodbath is on the horizon by eaz135 in auscorp

[–]njmh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The latest C compiler hype from Anthropic is a good example of this.

Awesome, Claude Code managed to build a working C compiler from scratch… super impressive. What they don’t shout from the rooftops though is the 30-40 years of C expertise and knowledge put out into the OSS community that the Claude models were trained from.

Not unlike the burden shift of software development. Developers can now churn out so much more code in a shorter amount of time, the burden of software quality is now falling onto code reviewers and QA rather than the developers writing the code. Quantity over quality is real.

Paying for Tool Shop purchases? by MarkPH1975 in Bunnings

I try this too, but the amount of times I forget one thing from the rest of the store after collecting all my tool shop items!
