If they'd stuck with the original formula that contained traces of cocaine, of course...

In South American regions coca is available over the counter in dry leaf form (for mastication during highland walks) and in tea bags, obviously at lower concentrations than the white powder rich folks snort.

Since it wasn't mentioned in the article, the neighbourhood in question is Nuevo Quilmes.

Google's satellite imagery indeed shows some very low density housing. I guess we're talking the mega-rich who moved out of Recoleta.

The Salish Sea straddles Washington State and British Columbia if Microsoft want to move HQ from Redmond to Vancouver!

Type inferred languages often allow you to sidestep type inference by explicitly declaring the types using a semicolon following the declaration.

Microsoft's TypeScript follows that convention when augmenting ecmascript, e.g.

function add(left: number, right: number): number {
        return left + right;
}

(I believe he was referring to Haskell.)

Java's boilerplate isn't a great advertisement for static typing. For a more modern perspective running on a virtual machine, F# and Scala provide OO semantics atop a Hindley-Milner-Damas inspired type inference but with perhaps too much esoteric functionalness for the average mortal!

One wonders if RoR would have existed if someone had managed to craft a killer web framework on, say, Ocaml a decade ago.

Coles and Woolworths are typically open 'til midnight across Melbourne.

The current federal government panders to polluting industries and skeptics, particularly to luddite senior citizens. A 20% renewable target nationwide is ahead of schedule, which prompted lobbyists to commision a report favouring a roll-back because it would hurt big business.

We have a bypartisan 5% emissions reduction by 2020. Yes, 5%, which is a joke of a target if they were actually serious.

Just one state, which has a minority of the country's coal mines.

Thanks, South Aussies!

I'd hate that this importation would be an excuse for Napthine (or whoever's runing the place post November) to sit on their hands and do nothing. The Coalition government in Victoria slashed climate action in response to Gillard's carbon tax at the federal level.

I would hope both sides launch policies during the state election campaign as a response to Abbott and Palmer repealing the legislation, since Direct Action is dead.

Well google have BoringSSL, perhaps it's a trend of stupid names for forks in seeking to discredit the upstream...

It needs a hyphen if use-less, rather than useless is intended.

Don't the "haters" regard systemd as some all-encompassing Hurd-like wannabe, except whereas Hurd runs on top of a microkernel (mach), systemd bootstraps linux? :-)

A "Hird of Unix-Replacing Daemons" might otherwise be a good description of systemd...

In this case, I believe, for one or more of them is Afghanistan. i.e. they were child refugees from the post 9/11 conflict whose homeland we bombed to smithereens.

Now grown up, they've become radicalised in Sydney by foreign born clerics.

We don't have the death penalty here.

I just read about the Tim Mclean case. What's even more horrific is that PETA sought to gain publicity for animal rights by running an ad. Eeek!

Just curious, how much a night is a room at the hilton, including your membership?
