  • Just had a follow-up phone call, the very friendly (!) claims agent who’s taken over from a staff member that quite apologised. Cats and dogs living together.

  • Confession: I use a light editor.

    It all started when I needed it for copy-pasting code highlighting into keynote and I got hooked. Don’t do drugs kids.

  • The supported and unsupported logic in media queries is very strange:

    ✅ ||
    ✅ &&
    ✅ !
    🚫 ! ( a || b )
    ✅ ! ( a && b )
    🚫 ( a && ! b )
    ✅ >=
    🚫 >
    ✅ <= 🚫 < ✅ == ✅ != Bring on full calc support, bring on the syntax improvements.

  • I’m guessing disabling the redirect from Gmail to Inbox can be taken as a sign Google’s going to shut down Inbox.

  • Two of my favourite moments in Dear Evan Hansen are how angry @rachelbayjones sounds in Good For You just moments before breaking hearts on the couch. Thanks Rachel. 🛋

  • SBS selling Optus the World Cup rights only to be given them back is one of the all time great business decisions.

  • I was looking at the JIRA source code and found how they determine the markdown flavour to use on any one interface:

    Math.random()

  • Replies to insurance company request for further information with a passive aggressive “I’ve reattached the document”. They won’t notice or care, damn it.

  • The ABC fact check of Pete Evans is pretty direct. http://www.abc.net.au/news/health/2018-06-21/pete-evans-diet-doco-magic-pill-health-claims-evaluated/9891470

  • Is it because browsers are increasingly blocking the script by default?
