If anyone needs a Vege friendly fish sauce, here's one for Lao/Thai food https://www.veganlaofood.com/recipe/fish-sauce/

It's pretty simple to make.

Speaking of webOS, it's making it's way into some of the latest EVs from Hyundai/KIA

It's now "OM Digital Solutions", and is mostly owned by a Japanese private equity firm

I saw this on Reddit eink sub https://www.reddit.com/r/eink/comments/1bswoi0/lineageos_20_...

There were attempts to remove Melbourne's trams like what happened across other Australian states.

It was saved thanks to the work of Sir Robert Risson [0]

Agreed, the audio tour was great.

This is pretty good for someone who can speak Cantonese but can't read/write it.

As an example, I speak Mandarin and can't read/write (much) Chinese characters as I spoke it at home while growing up in Australia. So, I can imagine there'd be quite a lot who are in a similar situation to me but with Cantonese who would benefit from this (not just as a learning tool).

I've been using the Zhongwen[0] browser extension to "read" websites that have Chinese characters for many years as hovering over Chinese characters will display a popup with the pronunciation ping yin. It may not be the speediest way of understanding a block of Chinese text.

I could imagine someone creating a browser extension that would replace the font used on the website(s) with the Cantonese Visual Font when the extension is enabled.

Yes https://www.jetbrains.com/help/fleet/1.0/architecture-overvi...

Yeah, I said it's not straightforward.

There's AltStore, but it's obviously not as straightforward as the Apple one. https://altstore.io/

Came across it while following the development and distribution of iSH (https://ish.app/), which has now made it into the main app store.

Prior to publishing to AltStore, iSH was only available on Test Flight, which has a limitation on the number of users who can join (10,000). So they'd periodically have to kick inactive users off the TestFlight so others could try it.

Film Victoria is a state based organisation. The Australian Federal funding for this type of thing was closed in 2014 [0]. I believe they are one of the few states to provide funding to indie game devs.

There's an Aussie site on point hacking etc https://www.pointhacks.com.au/

Muji 0.38mm gel pens are my favourite cheap good pens (they're about $1.50 AUD in Australia).

While it’s not EdgeHTML, they do have the code for ChakraCore out there.

https://github.com/Microsoft/ChakraCore/issues/5865

I think EdgeHTML will continue to be used by Microsoft for various scenarios, just not in their Edge browser. These scenarios include usage in WinForms and WPF apps https://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/2018/05/09/modern-webvie...

Or just open the dev tools and remove the bgcolor attribute from the body tag?

Pretty simple.

The polymer notes were invented as a response to fake bank notes (Australian $10 notes in fact).

Here’s an article on it http://theconversation.com/proceeds-of-crime-how-polymer-ban...

Ah. I’m from across the ditch (Aussie for those unfamiliar with the term).

I’m not sure how you got “day" out of it, the linked recording sounded (to me) more like "the", if you were trying to say the word "there" (but obviously without the "re").

My mums' native dialect is Teo Chiew, which is a variant of and falls under the Min Nan family of dialects (but can be quite different in many ways, a native speaker of one does not necessarily means mutual understanding of the others). And while similar, Teo Chiew uses a "dê” rather than "tê" for tea.

On another note, the area is also the origin of the "Gong Fu Cha" style tea ceremony. [1]

I think so. It’s based on a fork of Visual Studio Code.

The VS Code plugin and SQL Operations Studio both use the SQL Tools API Service[1].

I actually prefer the Firefox dev tools these days. One thing that I really like is the edit and resend functionality[0]. Quite useful when quickly testing API calls. I know you can use other tools in Chrome to do the same, but I like that it’s built in. Good to see improvements in the Chrome dev tools nonetheless!

And Melburnian [0] for Melbourne.

They really need to build high speed rail across the east coast of Australia. We've talked about it in this country for so long and yet nothing is happening.

I'd say Windows 10 on ARM. [0]

Looks like just the blogs part of their site is down. https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/ is up

That's true. I found it useful when I recently paved my machine and had to reinstall everything. It's also helpful when you move to a new version of VS.

And yeah, I use a different login between home and work too.

Higher capacity, tend to be more durable (with some still in service after 50+ years of service), and yes more energy efficient.

E-class trams [1] that are being deployed (46 in service and more added each month) here in Melbourne can carry up to 210 passengers (64 seated, 146 standing).

Signing in also allows you to sync VS extensions via the Roaming Extension manager [1] and it also allows you to sync settings [2].

They precision touchpad[1] based devices are pretty good.

Not really a surprise. It's the same story elsewhere around the world. They had to adapt to survive. They firstly adapted local ingredients with techniques and flavours of home to cater to their fellow migrants, then they'd start adding some new dishes based on what they perceived as local tastes to try to attract the "native" population when just catering to their fellow migrants wasn't enough to survive.

How close a restaurants' dishes are to "authentic" ones depends largely on how many generations removed the chef is from their homeland.

Anyway, I'm of Chinese descent. First generation in my family born in Australia, but several more removed from China. So while the food that my family cooks retains Chineseness it also contains influences from the countries that my parents grew up in mixed in with ingredients that were sourceble in Melbourne, Australia in the 80s. That said, due to the relative distance of Australia to Asia during the mid to late 90s, more ingredients came in as the post-Vietnam war migrants settled here and had become further established in the community (so had capital to spend on luxuries like imported ingredients).
