2. I tried zsh briefly, then just used the bash that you can install via homebrew.

Come this Friday, the same CPUs have been shipping in the 15" retina MacBook Pros for 2 years. Last spec bump was May 2015, but the change to Haswell processors was in late July 2014.

>The worst one can say about Apple is not about them not rushing to adopt the BS early Skylake models that are unfit for the MBP, but that they held the prices of MBPr with older processors high while people are waiting for the refresh.

The 15" models still use Haswell processors, not Broadwell like the 13".

NBNCo gets a cut of the customer's payment to the ISPs for their Voice & Data Service.

> Not to mention, NBN Corp. will not be any different monopoly from Telstra Wholesale.

I believe NBNCo aren't allowed to sell services directly to the consumer.

> And regarding speeds, how is NBN going to solve that? Australia doesn't even have enough international throughput in the current network. NBN will make speeds even worst as the demand will only increase. The bottleneck here is not copper, it is international capacity. What's the point of replacing copper if the weakest link of the network remains.

There is plenty of competition in this area (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telecommunications_in_Australia...). Capacity has increased, reducing international traffic costs for local ISPs (and hence, the consumer).

I quickly add .jar files by creating the required structure under ~/.m2/repository (and potentially create a matching .pom file) and then update the project's POM to reference it and work from there. mvn will complain about a missing pom file.

It's also pretty easy to deploy a private .jar file to a Nexus repository (should you be running one). I've even seen people running httpd and copying the appropriate .jars and .poms in (for those who wanted to share with others).

> I much prefer to have my jars managed by myself and commit them directly in the DVCS.

I personally consider that to be an anti-pattern, especially if you can't discover what versions of JARs have been committed to version control by some form of metadata.

> Another area where Leiningen/Maven really do not shine is when you don't have Internet access (like, you know, in companies which have separate networks, including ones non-connected to the big bag Internet).

You can run both mvn and lein builds offline. However, you may have fun downloading/placing the appropriate project dependencies.

You could also try looking at some of the smaller job boards that aren't Seek (e.g. http://careers.stackoverflow.com/jobs?searchTerm=&locati... or http://whirlpool.net.au/jobs/?state=NSW).

Maybe use this list of incubators and accelerators (http://blog.thefetch.com/startup-incubators-and-accelerators...) and google out from there?

I'm in Melbourne so unfortunately I can't help you past there.

I did open one of the .m4p tracks in VLC.app and it played back fine.

  @DELETE
  @Path("{uid: [0-9]+}")
  public Response deleteStudent(@PathParam("uid") int uid) {
    final Student deletedStudent = STUDENTS.remove(uid);

    if (deletedStudent == null) {
      return Response.status(Response.Status.NOT_FOUND).build();
    } else {
      return Response.ok().entity(true).build();
    }
  }

I would say that some recruiters are great, just like some internal recruiters are poor. The worst experience I've had this round of interviewing has been with an internal recruiter, where there was both no personality fit between me and the managers/recruiters and the job was not what they had advertised.

I alerted my network that I was looking for work before I resigned. I didn't get an attractive offer through my network so I have to look through ads on various job boards.

By replying to those ads with applications I eventually got interviews or recruiters calling me back about positions that they had not advertised yet.

You are correct in that your friends won't recommend you to a place where they aren't enjoying working or where they don't think you'll enjoy working.

A small Australian business can fire someone immediately without any warnings. I think it's a company of under 50 employees at the moment. The number was increased under WorkChoices then dropped back again.

A larger business can use exceptional circumstances to remove you instantly as well (breach of contract and along those lines).

Since Android 2.2 I've been able to use my Google Nexus One as a WiFi hotspot so that my laptops can use it's data connection.

'This is the home for the open-source project IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition − the leading Java and Groovy IDE built on the IntelliJ Platform.'

(I've only seen this for Ruby jobs though... Java is tending towards 'Are you using these libraries in your current position? No? Thanks for your application but...'.)
