I'd be even more restrictive than that: everyone should get a proper minimum wage, regardless of the line of work they're in, regardless of whether they're performing a direct personal service for you. Tipping should be for

Haven't noticed much of a lack of any of them other than jalapeños specifically. There's no shortage of cruciferous vegetables, lettuce, or gourds. I've a bunch of sweet peppers sitting on my fridge. We grow plenty of all tho

Yup! Hence my mention of tomatoes, which is the main place where I've seen any disruption. I'm not saying that there's no disruption here, but Ireland is a lot more food secure than the UK. Our shortages are relatively minor

It's not all that long ago that they were threatening to starve Ireland because of the negotiations around the border. Plenty of food here right now! The only thing we have an issue with is tomatoes, and local tomatoes are about to com

This is partially a consequence of the bonkers way in which electricity is priced in the UK: it's costed based off of fuel prices rather than the cost per unit to produce the power in question. This leads to situations where the UK mig

Just kind of a pity that some of the most productive farmland in the world now resembles the surface of Mars, along with hundreds of thousands dead and millions displaced.

If Go were a modern language, it would've had algebraic data types and pattern matching since the beginning, and its handling of errors and enumerations wouldn't be quite so embarrassingly bad.

You could also do that in '92-ish on RISC OS 3 running on a 1MB Acorn Archimedes with 12MHz ARM2 processor, with high quality font antialiasing. Those were the days!

Why would I care that the maintainer prefers Mercurial? The document you linked to doesn't say anything about them not taking community submissions: I think you need to scroll down further in the page. And it certainly doesn't say

Why should there be two minimum wages in the US? That's the most basic issue here.

Around the Mediterranean, plenty. However those polities collapsed during the Bronze Age Collapse. Less so in more northern climes where the weather is harsher and where we don't have much in the way of records, though we do have evide

The problem with XML is mainly in the 'M': it's a _markup_ language. Using it for configuration and arbitrary data serialisation isn't where its strengths lie, but it got shoved into those niches because if you look at i

I second that. And if people need to deal with YAML in Python, they should be using ruamel.yaml, which is a far superior library on just about every level: https://pypi.org/project/ruamel.yaml/

China has spent ages trying to get their local MIPS derivatives to a place where they're competitive, but haven't succeeded. Adopting or not adopting RISC-V (which is only an ISA, not an actual platform) won't make a lick of

I wouldn't recommend that at all these days. setup.py definitely is not future-proof: it's undergoing deprecation. Better would be a basic pyproject.toml file along the lines of the following: [build-system] requires = [

The correct solution for cache busting is generally to put a low TTL on the resource in question. Adding random crap in the end is only good if you're dealing with utterly broken caches or your webserver does some tremendously stupid h

Even those bedroom communities are a lot more livable than their US equivalents, because they have local amenities, meaning you're not forced to go to some big-box store or strip mall for stuff like you do in the US. They function as s

Then cities need to become places where people live again. That'll be easier to do with fewer silly restrictions on what qualifies as valid as a residential area, but also can't be used as an excuse for developers to create tiny b
