The update to this version, with Firefox Developer Edition, breaks the browser under macOS. If the app is in the dock, you need to option-click the icon, then click the button in the window that appears that starts with 'Refresh' to un-break it.

1. I hadn't seen that guide, but there is some issue where Catalina thinks that the command line tools installed are up to date, but `brew doctor` reports otherwise and you are forced to manually download the command line tools, just like in that guide.

2. I tried zsh briefly, then just used the bash that you can install via homebrew.

I got this error attempting an over-the-air update. I was forced to do a full install of iOS 10.3 using iTunes.

The Skylake processors meant for the MacBook Pros have not yet made available by Intel. They were announced last year but are still either not available at all (TBD) or available at small quantities.

The worst one can say about Apple is not about them not rushing to adopt the BS early Skylake models that are unfit for the MBP, but that they held the prices of MBPr with older processors high while people are waiting for the refresh.

The 15" models still use Haswell processors, not Broadwell like the 13".

The split turbocharger was most likely identified by interested journalists at the first race. The power train was homologated for the season at the end of February, so the design was finalised prior to the third pre-season test. It's most likely that the turbo was in this form a while ago.

> Could you please explain how NBN will pay for itself?

NBNCo gets a cut of the customer's payment to the ISPs for their Voice & Data Service.

> Not to mention, NBN Corp. will not be any different monopoly from Telstra Wholesale.

I believe NBNCo aren't allowed to sell services directly to the consumer.

> And regarding speeds, how is NBN going to solve that? Australia doesn't even have enough international throughput in the current network. NBN will make speeds even worst as the demand will only increase. The bottleneck here is not copper, it is international capacity. What's the point of replacing copper if the weakest link of the network remains.

There is plenty of competition in this area (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telecommunications_in_Australia...). Capacity has increased, reducing international traffic costs for local ISPs (and hence, the consumer).

> Wanna quickly add a private .jar file / private repo?

I quickly add .jar files by creating the required structure under ~/.m2/repository (and potentially create a matching .pom file) and then update the project's POM to reference it and work from there. mvn will complain about a missing pom file.

It's also pretty easy to deploy a private .jar file to a Nexus repository (should you be running one). I've even seen people running httpd and copying the appropriate .jars and .poms in (for those who wanted to share with others).

> I much prefer to have my jars managed by myself and commit them directly in the DVCS.

I personally consider that to be an anti-pattern, especially if you can't discover what versions of JARs have been committed to version control by some form of metadata.

> Another area where Leiningen/Maven really do not shine is when you don't have Internet access (like, you know, in companies which have separate networks, including ones non-connected to the big bag Internet).

You can run both mvn and lein builds offline. However, you may have fun downloading/placing the appropriate project dependencies.

Atlassian are hiring (http://atlassian.com/company/careers/jobs/?tab=sydney).

You could also try looking at some of the smaller job boards that aren't Seek (e.g. http://careers.stackoverflow.com/jobs?searchTerm=&locati... or http://whirlpool.net.au/jobs/?state=NSW).

Maybe use this list of incubators and accelerators (http://blog.thefetch.com/startup-incubators-and-accelerators...) and google out from there?

I'm in Melbourne so unfortunately I can't help you past there.

Wow. I didn't notice this. It's affecting anything that I've bought since the 14th of December.

I did open one of the .m4p tracks in VLC.app and it played back fine.

Apple's pricing in Australia is generally very competitive. I know for laptops you pay significantly more in Australia for brands like Lenovo (in comparison with their USA pricing).

The iPhone 5 was very difficult to walk in and buy without taking out a two year contract (the Apple Retail Store reservation system was a raffle). It only got better within the past two weeks. You can walk in and buy at an Apple Retail Store, and others like JB and DSE are selling the 16GB model outright.

I did try and build your code to run the test (I've no idea where the CsvParam and DateParam classes come from) but I think that the following will give you what you want without throwing the exception.

  @DELETE
  @Path("{uid: [0-9]+}")
  public Response deleteStudent(@PathParam("uid") int uid) {
    final Student deletedStudent = STUDENTS.remove(uid);

    if (deletedStudent == null) {
      return Response.status(Response.Status.NOT_FOUND).build();
    } else {
      return Response.ok().entity(true).build();
    }
  }

I'm currently unemployed.

I would say that some recruiters are great, just like some internal recruiters are poor. The worst experience I've had this round of interviewing has been with an internal recruiter, where there was both no personality fit between me and the managers/recruiters and the job was not what they had advertised.

I alerted my network that I was looking for work before I resigned. I didn't get an attractive offer through my network so I have to look through ads on various job boards.

By replying to those ads with applications I eventually got interviews or recruiters calling me back about positions that they had not advertised yet.

You are correct in that your friends won't recommend you to a place where they aren't enjoying working or where they don't think you'll enjoy working.

> To contrast, here in Australia, a part-time/full-time employee needs to be formally warned (and these need to be documented) three times before being 'fired'

A small Australian business can fire someone immediately without any warnings. I think it's a company of under 50 employees at the moment. The number was increased under WorkChoices then dropped back again.

A larger business can use exceptional circumstances to remove you instantly as well (breach of contract and along those lines).

I think it's good in terms of employment. I'm currently looking for work and some companies advertising positions / the recruitment firms advertising positions for some companies are now asking for github accounts along with cover letters and resumes.

(I've only seen this for Ruby jobs though... Java is tending towards 'Are you using these libraries in your current position? No? Thanks for your application but...'.)

While I don't believe that employees need to buy their own computer, I've not hesitated to buy a notebook and use it for work if I thought it necessary. When I started at my current workplace, I didn't realise that the employer provided PCs were XP machines and that developers didn't get admin access. After a few weeks it was too frustrating to not get a notebook and use it at work.

There maybe exceptions to the 'you can use all Java libraries' at runtime. I'm unable to use a Scala class annotated with JPA annotations with Eclipselink. The same class works fine with Hibernate.

With the current rules in AFL, there's practically no legal head high contact. Tackling with your arm around the shoulder (or higher) of the opponent isn't legal. It's no longer legal to make contact with the head of the player if that player has his head over the ball while it's loose (ie. hip and shoulder from the front or side).
