Scaramouche, scaramouche, will you do the fandango?
Well, the demise was inevitable. Trump hates people who try to become the center of attention.
Scaramouche, scaramouche, will you do the fandango?

This is Australia’s fault. This is Australia’s attempt to evade its responsibilities.
This is Australia’s fault. This is Australia’s attempt to evade its responsibilities.
It is a demonstration of just how far certain wealthy countries are willing to go in turning their backs on the world and to punish the blameless. This is a policy that has the full support of both major political parties and the tacit (and sometimes enthusiastic) support of the Australian voting public. It is a support which has had, up to now, no costs or consequences.
Australia deserves to face international sanctions and boycotts. This obscene policy has not made Australia into an international pariah yet but it definitely should.
Malcolm Turnbull is implementing the same policy.

The National Review are Never Trumpers.
The National Review are Never Trumpers. They want a more effective conservative dickhead to enact their reactionary and racist agenda. The fact that Trump is so bad at everything actually gives me a glimmer of hope. Things could have been a lot worse.

Great take on #DonaldTrump by a fairly Conservative source:
He has had a middling career in real estate and a poor one as a hotelier and casino operator but convinced people he is a titan of industry. He has never managed a large, complex corporate enterprise, but he did play an executive on a reality show. He presents himself as a confident ladies’ man but is so insecure that he invented an imaginary friend to lie to the New York press about his love life and is now married to a woman who is open and blasé about the fact that she married him for his money. He fixates on certain words (“negotiator”) and certain classes of words (mainly adjectives and adverbs, “bigly,” “major,” “world-class,” “top,” and superlatives), but he isn’t much of a negotiator, manager, or leader. He cannot negotiate a health-care deal among members of a party desperate for one, can’t manage his own factionalized and leak-ridden White House, and cannot lead a political movement that aspires to anything greater than the service of his own pathetic vanity.
Too bad the constituents of #TrumpNation would rather believe the lie than face the truth. More intelligent conservatives get it, why can’t they?

Tony Norfield gives a very good analysis of the current state of Amazon and its efforts to become not merely a major player in the market but to become the marketplace itself.

“What has made Amazon attractive in stock markets is that its business has also been growing rapidly, recently at some 20-25% per year, with net sales of $136bn in 2016. Still, a big business with little profit now can only remain in favour if the capitalist market’s implicit bet on Amazon’s future turns out to be true. That bet is whether Amazon can gain a stranglehold on the markets it has chosen and be the market to which everyone goes, even just to check prices. In other words, it would be a bet on how far Amazon can own the arena in which millions of companies sell to consumers.”

Installing Win 10 on a Macbook for FREE
Here are my notes for turning a Macbook Pro into a very nice Windows 10 machine for free using Bootcamp. This is not for everybody, I know, so why would I even do such a thing?
1. I find OSX hard to switch to when I am forced to use Windows all day on another work issued laptop. So this Macbook is hardly used.
2. Actually OSX is terrible. Objectively I like Windows 10 better.
3. Operating systems should just get the fuck out of my way. I’d be just as happy using Ubuntu but Windows is pretty good. Git Bash gives me all the Linux compatibility I need.
4. I do web development. That means I don’t need many binaries. Everything I need is platform independent. All my tools are written in Node.
5. I need to test on IE from time to time
6. Did a mention OSX is really really awful? They should just give up writing software. I am waaaay more productive using Windows or Linux.
7. The Macbook display and hardware is beautiful. Even Windows 10 looks beautiful on it.
8. It’s dual boot. No Macbooks were actually harmed in the process.
So let’s get started:
Download Windows 10 ISO file from
https://www.microsoft.com/en-au/software-download/windows10ISO
You should choose the Windows 10 Anniversary Edition to install using Bootcamp. You can upgrade from that later.
i.e. Win10_1607_English_x64.iso
Run Bootcamp
Set Partition size. Think about the right size now rather than trying to resize it later. Select the Windows iso
Format the BOOTCAMP partition
Click next and let it do its thing
Windows will start, answer questions about preferred language etc
When asked answer “I don’t have a licence code”
Install Windows
Install Bootcamp inside windows
Make the fonts look the right size:
Control Panel > Display: Turn off custom scaling
Reduce sensitivity of trackpad for two finger scrolling:
Control Panel > Mouse > choose how many lines to scroll = 1
Select “additional mouse options” and set lines to scroll to 1
Reverse the scrolling direction for “natural” trackpad scrolling:
Use Regedit to swap direction of track pad:
Under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetEnumHIDVID_??????Device Parameters
(where ??? is different on every machine) search for properties named FlipFlopWheel and FlipFlopHScroll and set both of them to 1. They may appear a few times for different values of ???.
Turn background to black
(On an unregistered Windows, you are prevented from customising the wallpaper but they don’t stop you from blanking it out completely)
Control panel > ease of access > other options > show windows background = off
Optional: Make Command key work like the Control key
If you find yourself reaching for the left Command key a lot you might want to map it to the same value as the left Control key. The easiest way to do that is to use the free open source tool SharpKeys

My setup for web development:
Install Git Bash for Windows
> Use git from windows command prompt
Install VS Code
Open command window Ctrl-`
On first run you’ll be asked if you want to customise command prompt
Choose your preferred terminal shell
Choose git bash
Install Node
