Funnily, it never states it's New South Wales. Even on the "About NSW" page, NSW is never written out.


It's a good point. Everyone living in Australia knows what "NSW" means, and it's a website that's almost always only used by people living in the state. Except for a page on dark patterns :)

Same blindspot as Americans using two-letter codes for their states (AZ etc.), or any other country's inhabitants using locally-known place names, or not adding their country after it.


Haha, how curious.

Googling '"new south wales" site:www.nsw.gov.au', some pages have it apparently written out in full, but clicking through to the e.g. "State Flag" page, they've updated the page to say "NSW"!

The thing that annoys me with RSS is the lack of paging. It's great to get updates, but most pages only have the last x articles in their feed. Which means a lot of older, still valuable content is not discoverable anymore.


Discoverable? The older content is still in the same place as always. The entire purpose of RSS is to alert you when new content is published. You discover the old content by reading it.


If you treat your RSS feeds as reading lists, it is useful to have the full list in there. Of course you can track your unread entries another way (browser bookmark, etc) but it's not as convenient.


There is an extension for Atom for Paging and Archiving. And because it’s just namespaced elements those elements also could by used by RSS. But Feedreader support is mostly inexistent.

Cross-compilling from MacOS to Linux. By default OCaml does dynamic linking of all C dependencies. Even with static linking there is a dependency on libc (or the MacOS equivalent) as far as I remember. I had some success so far with Rust, Nim and Go using a musl toolchain[1], but no luck for OCaml. At the moment I'm just using a docker container which mirrors the Debian distribution running on the Pi.
