Not sure what sort of burgers and beer you buy, but $150 generally goes just a _little_ bit further than that in my experience...

Any chance of Western Australia? This looks like a really useful tool and I'd love to give it a proper go here...

Me too, and I'm in Australia...

I appreciate a lot of the points made -- particularly that a CSV document, like any text, is a product of a partucular context and needs to be understood as such. It's a fascinating area to delve into for any product, even one as seemingly-simple as this.

But I struggled with the writing style: short, staccato sentences, each following the same simple structure, and each presented as its own paragraph. I can't help but feel it would've read better as normal prose.

I'm waiting on my 13 Pro. I need a new laptop, and the big advantage here is that I can more easily upgrade ram when (hopefully not if!) prices return to more reasonable levels. So I can be a bit more modest for now, knowing that when it comes time to upgrade, it'll be a lot cheaper than buying a whole new machine. Seems like the best option to me!

The pope's "lane" is humanity. In reading the article, I found the position he puts forth to be measured and considered, focusing not on the technical aspects of AI, but rather on how to approach its use and implementation with empathy and careful thought.

I've been working on a super-straightforward volunteering platform -- https://handsup.barryvan.com.au/ . Mainly because I got frustrated with my kids' school and sailing club activities being (mis)managed across WhatsApp, Google Forms, pieces of paper, and the like.

Really interesting to see just how _loud_ the infrasound from these datacentres can be.

I'm curious as to what the cause is, though. I have to imagine it's related to the cooling systems in some way -- but is it the overall datacentre's cooling, or all the individual fans? Or something else entirely?

There are lots of ways to style these native controls, though, including ways to start from scratch and retain the accessibility affordances.

I'd be curious to know more about the usability issues you've found on mobile -- I've not had any personally when using radio buttons. I'll readily grant you that 'select' is awful everywhere though!
