Most of the examples you provided (specifically dish washing, fruit picking, house cleaning) are not traditionally considered "blue collar" or "the trades." Rather they are considered unskilled labor. So your comment doe

It's not really random punishment, it's challenges. eg, if you use certain dangerous technologies extensively (eg, strong AI, subspace drives) then a strong late-game enemy may appear at an unpredictable time (eg, rampaging AI ben

That sounds like a great exercise, I wish it was standard. But I'm guessing you must have taken this course in a rural area, or else be able to talk faster than an auction caller. I don't think I could list off all the hazards in

I think you're talking about a different kind of optionality than the parent post. That was talking about option to expand/contract capacity, change infrastructure, or all the usual "elasticity" that they tout. You'

Yep, sadly it didn't really get going until RSS was moving out of the mainstream. Really need setup, though. Just noticed that it was renamed to WebSub and adopted as a W3C standard earlier this year. https://en.wikipedia.or

For any content that's being sold as such (eg, news sites) that's definitely copyright infringement. For user-generated content, I'm not sure. Though I would not be even a little bit surprised if Facebook asserted copyright t

Don't they have that already? I remember it being a prominent feature for browsers ~10 years ago. Heck, even Outlook had a feed reader - still has it I think, though it's always sucked.

I can absolutely believe that would happen. Also interesting to watch the debate around conditional removal of the parking requirements for new builds. You see people that complain about lack of affordable housing, but also demand a parking

Investing is about compounding almost by definition. You take X dollars, get a return of Y%, and now you have ((1+Y%) * X) dollars. It's true that Buffet did use insurance float. That basically became his principal, which he then compo

Those things are indeed obnoxious, but they are truly _Java_ issues rather than static typing issues. For instance, C# will figure that stuff automatically in many cases using the _var_ keyword. The Lombok plugin can add something like that

That is not clearer, at least to me. >All Spaniards have voice & vote about sovereignty, not just a bunch of Spaniards. This seems self-contradictory. Mis-typed? Or perhaps you mean it's up to all Spaniards, not just some Spania

One could have a signed audit log, and that's fine. But no matter what you do the CRA has to be able to write to the data, and read from it to give it to third parties, and be able to reset passwords. AFAIK that requires that they have

I guess it couldn't be worse than no key, even if most people's passwords are terrible and poorly handled. But presumably the credit agencies would need the key as well, to enable those resets and so they can add to the records, w

A lot of this has been at least partially addressed since VS2015. There is built-in code search (ie, "find me any language construct with these letters in it"), there's support for basic refactorings (rename, extract method,
