And like there's an entire universe in your fingers. Right there man. It's galaxies within galaxies. That where they come from. The blue people and why they're so short. Where's the pizza?
Trophy homes. While letting it burn would be the best solution in many cases, the rich don't like it. Hence spending millions fighting a fire which shouldn't be fought.
Some thing that requires more than selecting an option or regurtitating something. or replace tests with projects, reports, etc. that requires original input.
Average of what? All wages? 20% over what they pay a Mickey D's? Do you also pay benefits? What are the work requirements and the job description requirements? Just saying "20% more" is meaningless.
"Human society has never before been linked together so well."
This brings up a thought I ave about tightly linking economies. For example, a few years ago the concern was if Spain, Italy, or Greece defaulted on their debts, basically economically collapsing, then the cascading consequences would bring down the entire global economy. We were in the absurd position where economies as small as the afore mentioned could cause a global distaster.
The analogy I like to use is mob-culture in agriculture. If fields are smaller and have a host of different crops then a blight affecting one crop, wheat as an example, does not get out of control and is firewalls off from other fields. On the other hand, if there is no diversity the said blight could wipe out huge swaths of wheat crops.
So maybe we should have loosely coupled economies with firewalls. Of course, economists would argue that this is not "efficient".
and developers. It doesn't matter what it is the cycle always seems to be the same: 1) a language or framework is created to solve a current problem. 2) early adopters show up who in my estimation seem to be on the upper tail of the intelligence distribution. 3) Said developers start solving the problems the new tech was intended to fix. 4) articles appear, discussion groups, etc. start touting said tech as a magic bullet 5) the thundering herd of developers follow it, most of whom are lower skilled than the early adopters. 6) New features are requested and cruft develops. 7) The vast majority of developers are not that good. They are disorganized, arrogant, lazy in the wrong way, can't see the big picture, have no imagination, and don't care about the users. 8) The software written in the new thing degrades and problems develop. 9) due to 8 go to step 1.
I left out the part where vendors and managers screw things up by misunderstanding the technology and selling their "implementation", see agile software development and SAFe as examples.
*ranting and raving* After 20+ years in the business in just about every role imaginable; department head, developer, QA, BA, DBA, SA, build miester, etc; code has always sucked. No matter what tech is being used it sucks.
Most developers suck. I have seen the same problems described in TFA in.Net, COBOL, Fortran, C++, C, SQL, Spring, ORM frameworks, Java, Python, Perl and probably more that I can't think of right now. It is not the technology, it is how we select, train, and reward people in the software development process. So I say to EditorDavid, good luck with that. I am going to spend my time on a quest with a higher possibility of success, finding the fountain of youth.

You insensitive clod! you beat me to it :)
Sheep to the slaughter.
Nice racism you got there/ I bet your typical African street survivor has more "Sk1lz" than you do.
For your deep space probe.
They'll probably want a 16 hexadecimal string with a dotted 48 bit octal sub identifier. Because it's obvious.
Not should, can.
What's wrong with restricting how you want your work to be used? It is yours after all.
Computing was available. IBM sold tabulation machines and rented technicians to run them to the SS for use in the concentration camps.
I can't see foreign languages as useless
And you can share an anecdote with friends and co-workers, naming names. Being sure to use words like "in my experience" and "in my opinion".
Space Force!

Controlled blazes to clear out fuel has been done for decades. Nothing new.
I've heard the term "fire industrial complex" kicked around for a while. Increased cost would be good for the complex.
and yet it is done. there are processes in place.
management fires *are* set to remove fuels but only under special circumstances.
On Wall Street this is sometimes referred to as the "Dead Cat Bounce".

Plenty of people also sold themselves for sex. Will do *anything* for food for me and my family....

But you externalizations the costs of the first 16 years.
