My university would keep past exam papers in the library. This was apparently a little known fact, but somehow we discovered it, went and got them and use them as the basis for revision.

Turns out our professors were lazy and used the same exam every year. Does that count as cheating?

Taxing the profit of an individual pub seems like a great way to reward the big chains that hide their profits better.

I did the same but with milk. My job at the time supplied coffee but not milk, the fridge was full of 1 pint bottles with names written on. There was never enough space. People got territorial over their 5sq inches of fridge. There was a milk club where they pooled together to buy milk for their group.

I couldn't face dealing with that so opted out and drank it black. That was 15 years ago.

Some time later that employer realised they could solve a great many staff disputes for the low price of 20 pints of milk a week and started supplying it. No idea why it took so long.

My first job was about 200 people but there was a satellite office with 3 people. Similar story, someone left and they tried to replace him for the same salary. The job ad was for project manager/lead dev/office manager/customer support and user training.

They actually hired someone who latest 6 weeks

Yeah, humans regularly deliver stuff wrong on our street. There is no way robots will manage. I get packages for both by neighbours and they get mine more often than correct deliveries and one of my neighbours is a business.

Set push.autoSetupRemote in your gitconfig and it'll do it first time

A great example of this is TSA luggage locks. Mandated backdoor, master keys leaked by company that makes them, now anyone can open any TSA approved lock.

I like to think this whole thing will collapse and there'll be a massive demand for real programmers to clean up/rewrite all the AI slop.

But your thing seems more likely.

I meant running windows on them, its enormous and its all linux servers. I know you can run windows but it'll be a tiny fraction.

This is my thought, they've all but lost the battle for cloud servers and they'd rather the developers computers were Windows. WSL allows that.
