So for now, this will be it 😂

We prob could, but I honestly don't have the time and energy to sort that out.

Tada: @cfcamp.bsky.social

🎉 Raygun4CFML 2.0.0! 🚀

This is a complete rewrite in modern script, full of enhancements to make the #Raygun integration for #cfml #ColdFusion #Lucee and #BoxLang developers more powerful, efficient, and future-ready.

Woohoo - Raygun Crash Reporting now supports #Flutter and #Dart obfuscation.

1️⃣ Build your app with obfuscation enabled.
2️⃣ Send your Flutter symbols file to Raygun—either manually or automatically via an API.
3️⃣ Raygun works its magic 🪄 to deobfuscate crash reports.

NZ has chosen another path, which is fine. But the consequences of that might be a less fortunate macroeconomic situation.

He talks about the welfare system in one half-sentence-ish length. That invalidates everything else?

Scandi countries - specifically Norway - also has an abundance of money from natural resource exploitation and investing well in their pension funds among other places.

Reality is that NZ's productivity is highly problematic compared to the rest of the western world and comparative countries and that's what his column is about this week.

I don't have to like the guy or some of his opinions to whole-heartedly agree with that. 🤷

Maybe an unpopular opinion, but measure theory and in particular using it for "probabilistic proofs" should really not be part of mathematics 🤣.

My recent Tetanus booster contained a whooping cough vaccine, too. It shouldn't be rocket science for a society to curb this outbreak and yet...

That's not necessarily the issue. A lot of these decisions are made around rebooking options and reuse of a stranded plane. A 737 stuck in PN helps no one, but from CHC it can be used for another mainline service. Pax can be easily rebooked on a CHC-WLG service later that day etc.

PaperCall.io - CFCamp 2024

You think #CFML and #cfscript is a dead platform? It's not, and when well written, its elegance and simplicity beats chasing the next nodeJS library any day. 😂

Anyway - submit talks for CFCamp 2024 (June 24 in Munich), the Call For Papers is open now:

Looked into FedEx, and they are prohibitively expensive (4 x the most expensive NZ Post option - it's not just the keys, it's essentially a small bag with stuff).

Weirdest thing: TIL you can't send keys via NZ Post internationally. What's even the logical reasoning for that?

On the same note: any idea re how to return keys that they forgot in NZ to a friend overseas?

Let's face it, I've got socialised to music in the 1980s. Naturally I like NDW (German new wave) from back then. But it turns out the there's a similar genre of a GDR (East Germany) version of NDW that I have no idea of 🤣.

I have similar issues with people every single day. And from my experience even videos don't help.

This!

I know. To be fair to Apple, even I think their smart watch story is much better than Android's though. And it's a great lock-in factor into their whole ecosystem obviously.

I'm generally annoyed with the shift to subscriptions for everything and that people go for it.

There's a bit more maths and counting rules eland other detail to to it, but that's kind of the gist of it.

... effectively gets waived for that party and the difference between what their party vote would have given them (say 2.6% = 2 MPs) and what they won in the electorates (say 4) becomes what we know as overhang members.

In short: the party vote determines how many seats a party get. And based on the 5% threshold they'd normally not get any MP.

But they won electorates. So, they *have* to get these electorate MPs, say: 4 pending all votes.

Now, because they have won at least one electorate, the 5% threshold...

The upside of the NZ election results: quite a few young women - across the political spectrum - won electorate seats and took them away from old stale white National and Labour incumbents.

You don't have to agree with people's or their parties' policies to see that this is somewhat progress.

So - we're watching Voice of Germany via VPN down here in NZ. Mainly because Bill and Tom from Tokio Hotel are judges. And they are great.

But dudes, there's also Ronan Keating on the jury. And he seems to be *such* a genuinely nice person that'd you'd want to be friends with him in real life.

The fact that NZ's building code *still* allows aluminium windows in 2023 is just a joke, but hey.

Is the investment worth it financially? Nope - this is not going to break even based on energy saving - but the house is much warmer and nicer than with the old double-glazing.

Spoiler: It's not global warming.

We replaced the existing "beloved by NZers since forever" aluminium double-glazing with "common standard in the rest of the world" uPVC double-glazing.

First batch in late 2021 then more over 2022. Gas usage - halved.

We moved in 2020 and since then I've tracked piped gas usage for central heating (hot water radiators), hot water and cooking.

The "no heating" baseline is around ~10-12 kwH per day. You can see it going up in winter - because we actually *heat* our house. So, what has changed in from '21 to '23?

I think for a lot of people the concern is now the long-term effects of infections and rightfully so, less the immediate illness.

Quite a few other PyCons (internationally) were also really good with Covid protections.
