I'd say the contrary; repeats don't impact the algorithm negatively, so nothing is done about it.

I no longer live in the EU, but one of the habits that I've taken with me is canning. Pickles, tomatoes, green beans, etc. It just requires salt, vinegar, the veggies, and some jars (and space, obviously). Solid addition to any meal. M

Agreed. If you give out take-home tests, they shouldn't take longer than an hour. Unless, you pay them for the time. A few companies I applied to 6-7 months ago offered this. However, if you're on unemployment benefits, this may c

Compaction doesn't stop the moment we loosen the soil. I'd say that it needs a liberal application of compost after your explosion, to let the critters and fungus penetrate deep.

Consider canning and fermenting some of your food. Also, grow things that can last throughout winter, such as potatoes, carrots, beets, etc. They can last in a cool dark place for months. Broccoli and Okra can be blanched and flash-frozen.

I was looking for work in November and even thought I have 15 years in software and cybersecurity, I still got ghosted by multiple recruiters. Two of which were at Google, and another at Apple. After talking to a friend at Google, she made

I recently found myself looking for info on gardening potatoes. Each time I used google, I'd get the equivalent of "Top 10 things to plant this spring". It's AI generated drivel, void of any substance. Like reading book&

You're not the only one. Been coding for 15 years in C and I had an easier time getting into Python, Assembly, Java, and Go. There is something about Rust that just seems harder than it should be. I think since it's close to C, my

I don't think you need to win the lottery to be in this situation. Imagine having a cushy job in a FAANG company, where your base salary is probably more than what your parents make combined. It is in my case. I made the mistake of tel
