I had the ZX80. It was terrible.
Yes. Am not robot.

I don’t ‘try’ to do either.
Either the film’s production and marketing draw me in the intended direction or they don’t. When their vision and my experience fail to align, I expect I’m less likely to enjoy the film.
…That or film was garbage. YMMV
Rainbow Warrior means something quite different in NZ.
So all of you living-rough, dumpster-diving, skipping medications, holding down three jobs, etc - what do your therapist say?
Oh wait, how much does this therapy cost again… But I’m sure there’s no selection bias.

The New Zealand government is working to make smoking great again, cancer be damned…
After all, cancer is a problem for another administration.
(Several of the elected will probably be against a vaccine anyway)
“eliminate”… They’re really making full use of dropping the “don’t be evil” clause aren’t they.
I have been sparing the almighty hell out of mine. When they drop it will be epic.
We must change them!

Oops. Just imagine the karma I would have lost, were I still on Reddit…
Most people are still using Java 8 (including android)…
Surveys don’t seem to back this up any more… Yes there’s a lot of Java 8 code. But more and more of it is maintenance rather than new development. Respondents of surveys that are able to list the versions they use in production (vs ‘pick one’) have indicated that for many teams with exposure to Java 8, they also have newer versions in production - showing that Java 8 is increasingly about maintenance than ongoing development (with the blocks to moving forward being a mix economic and technical factors).
The most dominant frameworks in the industry are ending their support for Java 8 - so not too far down the track, staying on Java 8 will mean that while you can pay for platform support, framework support is going to disappear anyway.
…we are currently at ~java 20.
Yes Java 20 is the current release, with Oracle’s LTS being Java 17 (the previous ones being 17, 11 and 8 - with 8 having the largest paid support window).
Java 21 is out in a couple of weeks and will become the new Oracle LTS (other vendors and frameworks tend to align on this LTS designation so it continues to be important).
I played the hell out of Populous and Populous II back in the day… Including a fair bit of multiplayer too - running a link cable between Amigas in our flat.
I wonder if I’d enjoy an upscaled port today as much as I did then.
Actually New Zealand has quite a few islands and more than three that are inhabited, but the three that most people refer to are North Island, South Island and Stewart Island (even though there are larger populations on others). The fourth most likely inhabited island to be mentioned is Waiheke Island (and the third most populated).
In that case let’s really blow your mind…
A Kiwi is a bird or a person, not a fruit.
… Also New Zealand is comprised of three major islands North Island, South Island and West Island… Also some of my facts may be slightly inaccurate - but not the bit about the fruit.
Two! Two bats!
(The actual bats don’t look anything like these bats. This is just a tribute)
I missed the other ones… Must’ve been hiding behind the first one…
New Zealand doesn’t really have any deadly animals.
No scorpions, snakes (other than the very appearance of a sea-snake), crocs, large cats, bears, etc. Our most venomous spiders can generally only make most people a little bit unwell. We might occasionally see a potentially dangerous shark but they’re so rare that I can’t recall when a notable attack happened.
Our insects aren’t generally disease spreaders - though we’ve come close a few times to some getting a foothold.
Colonists introduced many destructive species but nothing very personally dangerous. In theory there could still be moose, but it seems unlikely.
The only NZ native land-mammal is a tiny bat as far as I know.
There is the small problem with orcs, goblins, trolls and Australians… but it’s okay, we have a wizard (retired?).
This Luxon, Seymour, Peters timeline is not one of the good timelines.
