Alan Kohler talking about the urgent need to tackle inequality. The major parties talk about it a lot but don't seem to want to do what it'll take: 💸 changes to CGT discount on investment properties 💸 start taxing wealth more than work 💸 get a fair return for our natural resources

People are giving Google a hard time for the Pixel 10a. But it's legitimately a decent phone with zero camera bump. No "almost nothing". No "measure the main part of the phone". Just flat. Not since the old iPhone SE have we been so lucky. Anyway, flat lovers unite.

I have some thoughts, but overall a good read.

Hot take: JavaScript Garbage Collection and finalizers are good now, actually. With some caveats. Blog post coming soon 👀

fixed my Go powerwall library (and my network to allow it to work, such NAT 🫠) github.com/samthor/powe...
