The article explains in a lot of detail why the word choice is what it is

Is this the comic version of "Simpsons did it"?

Looks like a better version of what in the UK we'd call a "chip butty", e.g. fried potato in bread.

Many people don't appreciate the carb + carb combination, but clearly it can be elevated to something special.

Is this referencing school text books? Because if anything the problem is solved by just not teaching large chunks of history at all.

It goes Ancient Egypt, the Vikings, Henry VIII wives, WWII and that's about it.

Keep an accurate work diary, something high enough detail that you can look back on in several months and know what you were doing at what time on what day. Something you can then use to answer the question "Exactly, how many time this month were you asked to do X", and the answer be precise.

Sounds like you might be being asked to do things you haven't had training for, and don't have the certificates for. In which case this becomes a legal liability issue, and something they can't ignore, and can't fire you for.

Also, be careful of the difference between "I have been asked by a manager to do this" and "noone else was doing it so I felt I had to". If you're speaking to patients about their medical issues without training or being specifically asked to, you could be getting yourself into trouble too.

The diary thing is useful for everyone in every job really. In your annual review (or quarterly, whatever) it's incredibly useful to provide facts and figures for what you've been spending time doing. Particularly if you've got a manager who wants to downplay your efforts, or if you're asking for pay rises/ bumps up to higher grades.

Why does this exist?

Huur duurrrrrr

Mines normally dandelions

Same, one LTS to the next, and all online tutorials assume you're on it. My years of messing with fstab, alsamixer and such are long behind me.

(Started on mandrake in about 2001 btw)

Cost of living is significantly lower, and the social safety net means you don't need as much anyway.

My gut feel is wages are so much higher in the US because everyone is responsible for looking after themselves if life turns on them, so you're obliged to stockpile wealth in case you're suddenly jobless or have a giant medical or education bill to contend with.

Quite an emotive title for "domain name not renewed"

Jsonb in postgres is fine, I've been using it for years. Much better than letting mongodb anywhere near the stack.

It's incredible that humanity has done this well

Needs more AI to randomly guess what the columns might be

Ok sure, there's limitations. So what percentage of their current deliveries are actually possible with drones? If it's above 0%, then there's an opportunity.

Beyond that it's a finance/ risk/ reward/ regulation issue.

Imagine a van which drives into a suburban housing estate and instead of parking individually at different houses for 5-10 mins each, spends less than 5 mins prepping a set of drones which take off from the roof of the van and return in minutes.

It saves time and fuel. It doesn't work everywhere, but it doesn't need to.

In fact it could be the same van. Do deliveries exactly as normal, and use a drone for the last half mile when convenient. It's not either/or.

I know of 4 people who have had it within the last 2 months. We're still in the COVID years.

It's not inconsistent. He wanted them before, and had them.
