I suppose it depends strongly on the particular cultivar. I know I was surprised by the difference when I looked it up a couple of years ago. I was doing a keto diet at the time, so you read a lot of nutrient tables.

I know no king but the King in the North, whose name is STARK!

A kiwifruit contains a lot more sugar proportionally than a strawberry, yet the latter is usually considered sweeter.

Sunshine did that, by depraving you of red and yellow for a while and then panning out of the ship to show you our sub in all its glory.

What you mean the say is "there are less abstraction layers".

It's true, and it happens, not just in Big Companies.

Paying you to work on your own terms sounds like freelancing, and nothing more. Starting your own product company is a lot harder than that.

In my country (Belgium) no one would make that association. As far as I know, there has been one policr officer killed violently on duty in the past decade, and that was in a confrontation with organized crime.

There's something weird with the culture of violence in the US.

For reasons of safety?!

Loved that book, and everything else Hamilton writes

Can you list any good examples? I can't think of any right away

Still can't dock. You need to be able to dock in the stationar center module.

It sounds almost trivial!

That's an odd conclusion, especially with so littke information. Her reply re the soldier signals she's capable of sensuble social criticism, and the rest of the story, if somewhat alarming, points to her being extremely resourceful.

The 1, 6, 7 is random

I used to learn by writing asteroids clones. Fun and you get to try out the language features.

I did pretty much that for a previous challenge in /r/proceduralgeneration - procedural castles, where I used LDraw as backend for rensering.

Thing is, /r/proceduralgeneration is running a monthly challenge for exactly this right now but I haven't seen it listed as entry yet. Check out the previous entries, some of them are neat (others less so).

So high-end finance is the only "complicated" software out there?

Not having time left for your family?

My work day is from 7:40 to 16:20 so that I can spend time with my kids.

How do you cram 200 hours into a few days?

Affording rejuvenation would be paid for by your pension, because you wouldn't need that anymore.

Read the Commonwealth Saga by Peter F Hamilton

Funny thing is that this trend is the exact opposite of what has been the case in the past decades: things stopped being called AI as soon as they became broadly useful!

Same here, I stuck with Reader till its final week and then switched to newsblur. Haven't regretted paying for it yet!

I'm not LLVM expert but usually the answer to that kind of question is aliasing...

The true Underwood

Basically you just incentivised the cruelest, nastiest sadists as the best candidates for high office. What could go wrong?

Fits in a truck? Check!

The notion of therebeing Creationists around in the twenty-sixth century terrifies me!

The mismatch between the high-level notion of programming (solving interesting problems) and the daily routine is there because in practice only a relatively small part if code deals with domain knowledge, and the rest deals with mundane technicalities (persistence, validation, security, logging, diagnostics, user interface technicalities, command routing, data translation ...). The latter part certainly has its share of interesting challenges, but most of it is boring cruft.
