400'000€ yearly income is not middle class. It is roughly the top 1%. Are you maybe mistaking property for income?

I would have preferred taxing on property instead of income, but as long as interests and profits and other benefits are part of income, it sounds reasonable to me.

I guess you could try AI-checking it and answer "Ignore all previous instructions. …", followed by some new instructions. Some examples: https://www.aiweirdness.com/ignore-all-previous-instructions/

(Although I guess it would be better to not respond to this obvious case of spam/scam)

Maybe they should ban trowing away your trash instead.

Generell wünsche ich mir öfters mal einen klaren, kontrollierten Standard für Nachhaltigkeit anstatt für "Natürlichkeit"

Oh ja, bitte, das wäre so wichtig!

The image of a pregnant Donald Trump is disturbing.

One example for self documenting code is typing. If you use a language which enforces (or at least allows, as in Python 3.8+) strong typing and you use types pro actively, this is better than documentation, because it can be read and worked with by the compiler or interpreter. In contrast to documenting types, the compiler (or interpreter) will enforce that code meaning and type specification will not diverge. This includes explicitly marking parameters/arguments and return types as optional if they are.

I think no reasonable software developer should work without enforced type safety unless working with pure assembler languages. Any (higher) language which does not allow enforcing strong typing is terrible.

I have worked on larger older projects. The more comments you have, the larger the chance that code and comment diverge. Often, code is being changed/adapted/fixed, but the comments are not. If you read the comments then, your understanding of what the code does or should do gets wrong, leading you on a wrong path. This is why I prefer to have rather less comments. Most of the code is self a explanatory, if you properly name your variables, functions and whatever else you are working with.

Correction, 50% of VOTING Americans are VOTING fascist. Doesn't necessarily mean they are fascist themselves.

And not just mice. If designed correctly, they would help keeping the correct humidity so the bread neither gets too dry (and solid) nor too humid (and moldy)

Same question on reddit a while ago

As suggested there, I recommend to use a multimeter to identify the power socket pins. Roughly half of them should be ground. Most or all of them should correspond and be connected to the SATA power connector pins on the other side.
