Basically every spreadsheet I built working at an investment bank during the GFC.

First time I've heard about requestAnimationFrame. Very cool.

Out of curiosity, at what age do you think it stops being "ok" to stay at hostels?

On the 'Weather in Sydney' page: "The warmest time of year is generally mid-January where highs are regularly around 61.9°F (16.6°C) with temperatures rarely dropping below 50.3°F (10.2°C) at night"

I think something is off here. That sounds like our winter weather! I would guess our average summer temp would be closer to 30deg C

New comment by jeromesalimao in "Ask HN: Django vs. Flask"

I'm also a noob. To hack together a quick app to hit a few of the instagram endpoints I went with flask. In my case, it was just a matter of writing a few annotated methods, and plugging in some template files and I was up and running in a few hours!

I'm now looking at SQL alchemy and thinking I might try to taking another look at Django...

Microsoft VSTO can be used to build office addins and extensions. Meaning you can code in any CLR language. C#, VB, C++ presumably.

"Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) uses unmanaged code that is tightly integrated with Office applications. Microsoft Office projects created by using Visual Studio enable you to take advantage of the .NET Framework and Visual Studio design tools."

Probably worth a look. I worked at an iBank previously and we were investigating when/how we could start using VSTO more..

I'm not sure where you are located, but back home in Australia they've come up with the idea of "Men's sheds". I think it's a great idea on so many levels.

I'm not sure if it's the kind of thing your dad would be into (my dad probably not). But sounds like fun.

Sailing. Small J24's.

I live in Sydney. There's nothing quite like sailing in our harbour. Truly is breathtaking.

This reminds me of a song by Xavier Rudd (great aussie artist).

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0E1bNmyPWww

"Many moons have risen and fallen long, long before you came. So which way is the wind blowin', and what does your heart say? So follow, follow the sun, and which way the wind blows when this day is done."

Heya. I never even knew this bike existed! But looks like you're right.

As an aside, the postie bike as we know them now (and for the past 20-30 years) are Honda CT110's. Seemingly our dataset is missing this model. Something else we're looking into.
