Yes. Am not robot.

Well not this one obviously. I just don’t want to give the impression that pylons aren’t safe.
Fast moving new technology means a larger gap between the used and new market. Combine this with effects of smaller volumes per model and they start high and fall fast.
It will change, but ‘early adopters’ are carrying some of the costs of transition - though only realise losses at time of sale (so keeping the vehicle longer will cost you less than frequent refreshes).
Edit: and no, buying one is not foolish. For many consumers, a midrange EV is already a saving over a reasonable lifetime.
I had the ZX80. It was terrible.
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.
Thankfully that’s not the case here in NZ. Otherwise the rather popular mince-n-cheese pie would be weird.
Today, ‘mincemeat’ as a term by itself, is unusual. It’s usually either just ‘mince’ (meat) or ‘fruit-mince’ (not meat).

“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!
Require them to symbolically emote at least once per post/comment.

Multiple upvotes! And here I was thinking this comment was too obscure and I’d have to abaddon it.
My body’s all a-tingle… Though I’m not sure Jack feels the same way.
If there’s a Marc Remillard on the team should we be worried?
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).
Pfft. He doesn’t plan to lead, or to serve. He plans to rule.
