And who programs the robots programming the robots? AI doesn't exist, and at the moment it is unclear IF, not when it ever will. Don't believe the hype, the Emperor is still naked, only conceals it better.

There are other reasons for going keto even for a half-marathon - and who knows, maybe the full distance is next. You don't have to worry about timing your meals, or "carb-loading" which is misunderstood and yet done by so ma

You mean Python, not Clojure. A number of key underpinnings, such as (almost) exclusively immutable datastructures are missing from this language. It is more of a Python with a LISP syntax.

As an example, I have seen videos of "house sitters" in Portugal that effectively "work" by staying at other people's houses while the other people travel, usually for longer periods, eg. weeks or even months. They

First they need to show proof that you are staying there for longer than allowed. How do they do that? (Assuming of course that you are staying in hotels and airbnbs, or even at relatives / friends - of course, if you rent and register

It was not. Cars of that era didn't last, as a matter of fact, they would last much less (and require far more maintenance) than the cars of today. It is true that certain cars (Trabi comes to mind) could be fixed roadside with a screw

This post seems to support my hypothesis about TDD: it is for the poor programmers. If your programming skills are limited (for whatever reason - you are junior or you are just sh*t tired or distracted) it can help you by not enforcing you

I don't know if it helps, but in my experience applying to companies directly via their homepage does not work. I think that it is far, far better going via a recruiter (who will push your CV actively and do the talk for you), or apply
