Blue collar job pretty much just means manual labour, although this definition gets stretched a little when you consider factory work where a machine performs the job and the worker pretty much just operates & oversees the machine. The

Yep. I think around here you could make pretty good money as a competent welder. No big surprise, getting competent takes time and the working conditions aren't particularly luxurious. So there's a shortage of competent people,

Interesting, I brought my laptop to every interview for a software job I've had. Figured that's the best way for me to show and talk about some of my code, and maybe even code too if it comes to that.

And just because someone solved (or didn't) a whiteboard puzzle doesn't mean they have (or don't have) the skills for the job you're hiring for. I would argue that actual working code out in the open speaks more than a

Maybe I'm stretching the definition of night club, but why can't you envision one that isn't hostile to the idea of having all ages be able to participate? The best parties of my life were for all ages.

Damn, now I feel like I made the wrong choice when I bought into the Ryobi One+ power tools. Would be nice if we just had batteries that are compatible across different manufacturers' lines. Sigh.

If so, it doesn't sound like a particularly fair comparison to me. Nuclear facilities shouldn't be compared to Joe Randoms installing panels on their summer cottages, they should be compared to (at least) megawatt scale industrial

Not how it works IME but YMMV. When there are benches and tables, I see that they are sometimes used for socializing by groups of people who already know each other and decided to meet.

The best defense against all these CPU vulns is to stop running malicious code. And that means getting off of shared VMs (and similar) where someone could run malicious code in your stead. Stop running any script your browser gets handed.

My experience is that people don't get familiar (and certainly don't form friendships) on commutes, whether it's on foot or by bike or by car or whatever.
