As someone who started writing software over 20 years ago (yikes I feel old), I feel like a lot of the best practices I've come to appreciate are really just strategies for mitigating future pain or boring/uninspiring work. When you eliminate most of the cost of rewriting everything from scratch by a machine that feels nothing, then "best practices" kinda lose their meaning.

Edit: confusing sentence order.

This is what happens when you don't give people the choice to ride trains (or other forms of mass transit).

Good thing I like old cars.

It's right there in the article.

The resolution called on BP to explain how its pursuit of rising oil and gas production aligned with a world shifting away from fossil fuels.

“The question is simple: how does BP plan to create value for shareholders as oil and gas demand declines?” said Mark van Baal, the founder of Follow This. “BP would rather antagonise its shareholders than answer it.”

That seems perfectly rational to me.

Question is, how far behind is Russia with drone operations? Can Ukraine keep up innovation to maintain an edge?

Acts 2:43-47 NASB2020 [43] Everyone kept feeling a sense of awe; and many wonders and signs were taking place through the apostles. [44] And all the believers were together and had all things in common; [45] and they would sell their property and possessions and share them with all, to the extent that anyone had need. [46] Day by day continuing with one mind in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they were taking their meals together with gladness and sincerity of heart, [47] praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord was adding to their number day by day those who were being saved.

I guess I'm a dirty socialist for owning a Bible.

Ahh, see this is actually the first real, reasonable response so far.

Nowhere did I say I tolerated Nazis or Zionists. Y'all are hallucinating that.

People are real quick to jump to conclusions. THAT is the reason why phrases like "death to X" or "kill all Y" tends to make more enemies than friends whenever you step outside of your little echo chamber. So don't come whining when you get stuck with a ban.

TIL. For some reason I thought those were all made from other kinds of corn.

Only 1.5% of corn grown ever has been edible.

Are you talking about the difference between sweet corn and field corn? Because field corn is plenty edible... Just not for humans.
