Bed frames are feminine, put that mattress on the floor. While your at it, get rid of the sheets, bare mattress it up.
Lighting is too fancy, fancy is feminine. Plain flickering bulb is what you want for ambiance.
- Comment on Is a web browser using another scripting language feasible? 4 days ago:
At least in the node.js native TS implementation, they strip the types and don’t do checks, so you don’t get runtime type checks:
Node.js does not type check your code when it runs TypeScript files. Use the TypeScript compiler separately if you want to catch type-related errors:
nodejs.org/learn/typescript/run-natively
I think, but I’m no expert, but in order to have type checking you need to have some kind of compilation check? You cant just start interpreting and hope to work things out on the fly?
- Comment on Is a web browser using another scripting language feasible? 5 days ago:
I don’t think I understand. Native TS does the type checking at compile time right? Not run time? Or would the compile happen in the browser?

Can you even get runtime type assertions in TS? Isnt it all at compile time?
- Comment on Is a web browser using another scripting language feasible? 6 days ago:
I dunno, I don’t see the benefit to native TS in the browser. For compatibility, all sites will continue to serve JS, so what does TS gain anyone? And there is no performance benefit, maybe a performance hit given none of the type validation can happen until all of the scripts have downloaded, so execution can’t begin until that has happened?
I could be way off on this though, I’m not a webdev :/

Much shorter term, the point of the census is to know where people are and what they need, so government spending can be done effectively. No point building hospitals/centrelink/etc in areas that don’t need them.
Australian census records are (opt-in) deanonymised after 100 years, so there is some historical value.

Arguably typescript fits, it is converted to JS for runtime, but the developer writes TS. You theoretically could transpile python or lua to JS, no idea if it exists yet though.
Otherwise WASM would be the main contender, dunno if lua or python can compile to wasm, but lots of languages can.

So the government has a rough idea of how many non citizens are in Australia, and roughly where. So any services that non-citizens may need (tourism centres, consulates, etc) get put in the right place.
- Comment on Is it safe to connect a Windows XP machine to my wi-fi network? 1 week ago:
Other than windows update, what other background services call out?
- Comment on Is it safe to connect a Windows XP machine to my wi-fi network? 1 week ago:
A NAT/Firewall isn’t obscurity, its actual protection. Any scanning bot would need to breach the firewall/NAT first before it could ever see the XP box. And if the bot can do that, it doesn’t need the XP box.
Making sure the XP box doesn’t poke holes in the NAT is important, so depends what OP is planning on doing.
- Comment on Is it safe to connect a Windows XP machine to my wi-fi network? 1 week ago:
Yeah, its pretty safe. XP on the open internet is bad, but behind a NAT is mostly fine. Just be very careful not to port forward or UPnP any ports to the XP box. The other concern would be ie6 reaching out to the internet, ideally you’d want to restrict that, as there are probably ie6 exploits around, but even this is fairly low risk.
What do plan on doing with the box? That may increase your risk level.

If I looked good enough to have a successful onlyfans, those would be the photos id want at my funeral.
- Comment on Hey Lemmy. I hate Facebook. But I miss Marketplace. So I built Garage as a means to reclaim Melb's 2nd hand marketplace from Meta (cause fuck Zuck). It's pretty new but check it out below 2 weeks ago:
The second option to market place was gumtree no? So you’re actually the third…

That one is mostly language agnostic.

That sounds like a far better system then, so definitely explains the difference in quality.
- Comment on Anon is 23 3 weeks ago:
You are assuming that the company cares about training, and not just a source of cheap labour. Apprentices are paid barely above minimum wage in Aus, and there are kickbacks to the companies to encourage employing them.
If it worked as you described (which is how it should work), I would absolutely agree with you, but the system in Aus happily churns out some absolute duds. Just like the uni system.
Also, for what its worth, many uni degrees include a year of paid internship, but there are similar issues that allow duds to sail through there as well.

My point is that by the time you have the paper, in either case, there is zero reliable proof that you can do either job. Real world work experience (successfully ran a sparky business, or successfully held a job for a few years) counts far more than the paper does.
- Comment on Anon is 23 3 weeks ago:
Australia. And yes, you have to do on the job training, but that doesn’t mean anything. The quality of the work experience is highly variable, so you could spend all of it learning, or all of it buying coffee and sweeping floors.
