That doesn't make the software take up more space on a drive. Optimizing is likely to result in a slightly larger install that runs more efficiently.

If one understands gambling odds, being reincarnated in the US is a horrible bet.

Me everyday at 8 p.m.

Not sleepy, just worn out mentally.

If the same event has multiple versions of the same story on the same site, that would be lazy but most likely intended to draw in different readers by being presented in different formats.

Are the articles recycling the same wording for the body but with different titles?

Are you sure they aren't about different incidents with similar events?

Are they expanding on a prior story with new information, but reusing prior article text to show the ongoing trend?

Articles that I can think of from major news sites tend to put out new articles involving ongoing events with the new stuff at the top and then cut and paste from the previous article for context. Kind of lazy, but also providing consistency for a developing story.

A watchlist is a reminder that I wanted to watch something at some point in time, but like most things, I won't ever do it.

Understanding the other side doesn't mean there will be a common ground. Understanding nazis doesn't mean there is common ground to share with them.

Exluding intolerance doesn't result in an echo chamber.

Quests are a feature of Discord, so they’re not ads

Being a "feature" doesn't mean it isn't an ad.

The logic behind it is that if the project requires being handed off constantly that they will be designed in a way that all developers are interchangeable and anyone can work on anything.

My office tried that like a decade ago and the problem was that there is a ton of needs that aren't directly part of the code that impact how the system should function and vary wildly between projects. Project A has legal requirements, B is a fun thing but is for someone with very specific expectations, and C has different legal requirements than A. The same kind of change request for all three may be implemented differently in all three in a way that makes both designing and fixing bugs very different and constant switching means nobody has time to be up to speed on everything at the same time because software is more than whether or not it passes testing.

Example: Names for individuals in A might need to be limited to last names only for display purposes for all roles except system administrators who can see full names. Full names can be displayed in B. Full names can be displayed in software C for system administrators, but limited to initials for everyone else. Try keeping that stuff straight when adding something new involving names after changing systems constantly!

The advertsising will eventually become required and features that actually benefit users that are expensive to maintain will be removed because that is the parh of enshittificstion.

Extremely common in the midwest and have been for decades. In my experience people don't use them for grinding up a bunch of food waste. Mostly used to break up the food that comes off washed dishes to avoid clogging up the drainage system. My dad said it helped with septic systems.

Even the 100+ year old farmhouses frequently had them added in.

Apartments seem to have them less frequently.

I'm sick and it is still snowing so I didn't do the whole patio, but did scoop two paths for the dogs to reach some grass. Can't do one because they will assume the other side would have been better and just hold it in.

Will need to redo them in a few hours when the dogs are ready to go again.
