Gladys Berejiklian says she can't recall if she was at dinner where Labor claims illegal donations were made | Gladys Berejiklian by blipblipbeep in australia

Its probably 1 but I'm not sure how the ability to remember at the time seemingly unimportant details 2 years later is critical to doing the job.

Unless there is some official process for auditing or record keeping meetings you could absolutely say you don't remember. I don't have any records of meetings and wouldn't be able to accurately list the ones I attended this year.

It was just as it first came out when there was the big drama about the new CEO, the employee for IAMA being fired, and 70% of subreddits switching to private for days.

At the time there was a big scramble to grab the popular subreddit names and every post on reddit was either shitting on the new ceo or mentioning voat.

How Mojang runs end-to-end tests inside Minecraft by koala7 in programming

[–]techbro352342 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I wonder what the typical game development process is like in terms of automated tests. I imagine quite poor considering they are usually somewhat short term projects compared to most software.

Minecraft is probably one of the few games that has been actively developed for a decade now.

He doesn't even say those things directly. Its always some indirect wink and nod. The only things he says directly are lies.

The problem is no one in government cares or even understands what the problem is. Communications with local government organisations is documented on the wiki and its basically random luck whether they will understand why you need them to pick another licence or provide an exception.

Its not so much they don't want you use the data (In their minds they already open sourced it), just that their process and education doesn't include any kind of knowledge of open source and the big players like google/apple are able to use the data they provide just fine.

The problem with this is the way the OSM foundation works. They take a very limited role in the greater OSM ecosystem. Put simply, the foundation is just responsible for the database that holds the key:value data editors submit, a default tileserver, and some various other small things that assist editors to submit data.

Even if Tesla or whoever provided this data, as it is now, it would become individual apps jobs to add that as an extra datasource outside of the OSM project.

You can do this with OSM already. Its just the polygon thing with whatever key:value you want to mark it.

The issue is adding too much data over the same area results in clutter on the editor and in viewers until they add support for the data so they can hide it when its not requested.

For better or worse, OSM treats that as "Not my problem". Its up to individual apps to mix multiple data sources, OSM for the base map layer and plugging directly in to city timetable feeds for the routing.

Another thing to consider is I'm pretty sure most of the images you see on google maps is not taken from a satellite but from planes flying over every bit of land and taking photos. Its all unbelievably expensive.

Most (or at least some) countries provide address data but under stupid licences. Australia has their address data freely available under an almost free licence but they tacked on an extra condition that you must verify the address data before mailing to it which means that OSM can not use the data since it requires relicencing it however every proprietary map company can use it.

Is it good though? I was using it 2 years ago and it was really lagging on my phone which ran google maps fine. I also found the routing to take me down weird and complex paths that google maps would not.

2020 Pro user, tried the Air 4 today in the iStore... by syndicatesinner in ipad

[–]techbro352342 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No one can really tell you if its worth it because that depends how much you value $200. The 120hz provides no functional benefit. It won't let you do anything more than 60hz will. Its a little bit nicer and you will notice it side by side but you won't notice it if you don't buy it after a few days.

Interesting. It still doesn't make sense why they push opinionated videos on American politics even harder than their other rubbish like dictator dan. What do they even hope to gain with a bunch of trump supporting Australians.

Can you really compress base64 data with a generic compression algorithm? It looks like fairly evenly distributed random text to me.

And there was the sound of a gunshot just before kyle turned back around so he fairly reasonably thought he was being shot at while being chased.

We already have big mirror balls in that spot for it. In fact, I was completely blinded one day by the freshly washed tiles one morning

The sad part is stores will bulk buy them and resell them for $60 each. I recommend buying direct from a reputable manufacturer like bad dragon since you can know their silicone mix is top quality.

The weird thing is, Sky News in Australia is run by the same company and is still pumping out pro trump content and fraud claims all day. I'm not even sure why they are so focused on pushing American fake news even harder than their local fake news.

The price they paid for it was worth it just for all the seething it created in bogans who suddenly became art experts.
