    Bokomo confirms discontinuation of Maltabella porridge as South Africans grieve the loss of a breakfast icon

    It was great. I would have eaten more of it if it wasn't for my low-ish carb ideals. I hated it as a kid, too bitter, but now that I dont like sweet stuff as much its great.

    Mechanical gaming keyboard recommendation?

    I have a Logitech G815 tactile (because I wanted low profile mechanical) and its fine. I tried a G915 clicky for a while, and liked it a lot more, even though they are supposed to feel very similar. Some keys on the tactile feel different to others, and I'm not talking about space bar even...

    What do you think is the best monitor size for PC gaming?

    Larger than 34". I have a 42" and it's amazing. For the types of games I play. I think if you play competitive FPS type games 27" might be the perfect size.

    AI can get tripped up by basic math

    The basic "AI" is an LLM, pretty much your cellphone predictive text that went to private school. The way around it is to extract the math from a piece of text using the LLM and ship that off to a different piece of code that handles math.

    Windows 11 Support Thread

    Sleep on windows have always sucked, so I disable it for all machines while they are connected to power. I let them hibernate when I close the lid. I've never had that issue, though, and to be honest, it does sound like it's something specific to the apps you run.

    Has anyone been to the Headache Clinic at 45 Empire Road?

    My wife went to a remedial massage guy to get some of the tension in her neck relieved, and he had heard of the procedure, but says that the nerves apparently form again and the headaches return. She still occasionally get slight headaches, but usually she doesn't know if it's sinus or tension...

    Australians get 'right to disconnect' after hours

    One can only hope. It may be insensitive, but in my experience bein retrenched is like winning a minni lotto with a bit of extra stress. As for promotions, if you are overlooked because you don't want to be available after hours, you can probably expect more of that in your promoted role, so I...

    This has to be illegal???

    Yup, even outside of angular I've never seen a production app use an onclick attribute. It is always done with event listeners, be it via jQuery, vanillaJs or one of the many frameworks.

    Australians get 'right to disconnect' after hours

    The law will not change things over night, but it can and will change things. With the law, you can complain to the Ausie equivalent of the CCMA if they demand that you are available after hours without compensating you for it. If you are then worked out in one way or another, it will give you...

    Australians get 'right to disconnect' after hours

    They could. The law also states that you have to be paid when you're expected to be available. So yeah, in that case I'd be happy to be available 24/7.

    Tech salaries in South Africa compared to the UK and Australia

    Not nearly as drastic. Teachers earn pretty well in Aus. I think $90K to $120K? Some interesting jobs listed here: For example: Stop/go sign holder-upper - $34/hr.

    In Covid the market didn't crash, it just went on sale for a few weeks. I think for the high value shares like the big 3 it will probably be the same.
