Although the self hosting thing doesn’t make it an origin in my book. More of a quine? The first Linux release would be the original. As for aboriginal I don’t think the metaphor even works.

I think this meets your requirements. It is in danger of AI replacement though. Which would be sad. But reckon there is 20 years of red tape to cut before we get there.

But if you don’t want to talk to people and be on a schedule then carpentry might be a good one. The sort where you make things as oppose to fix architraves in old houses.

AI plus machinery could make “home made” looking stuff but cheapos will keep going to ikea and there will still be a market.

If I didn’t need to make much money and just stay occupied probably do walking tours for free in untouristy places (think the “boring” countryside between cities that ain’t in any guidebooks) or just for a bit of cash walk people’s dogs at the park.

Robots may eventually do these things but to a dog a robot won’t smell like a human so they are the last to be fooled. I imagine in 2050 everyone will have a dog (bred to be small and generally dosile and easy to train) to sniff people for bot detection.

I meant polynomial time can in practical terms stomp computers even if you are allowed to time travel to a future point in moores law. Maybe n^2 is enough but need to do the math! The derivative is 2n so seems like it depends on n and the problem and of course the constants.

Or maybe human life is just too short to wait for the “42”

But the fact that a merge can have arbitrary changes in it always bothers me!

This is a case for rebase over merge if there are conflicts.

You could have a merge of 2 empty repo parents where the result is the complete source of the latest version of Kubernetes!

Also in this case I suspect they needed to learn proper takeoff procedure. Since you can’t practice dying more than once the mitigation has to be avoidance (in addition to the stall practice you mentioned)

However of course some processed stuff can be healthy. A vitamin D capsule is super healthy if you are low on vitamin D!

Not to mention you need to consider quantities. A gram of refined sugar is OK, probably neutral.
