I liked the look of the REBOL syntax and was looking forward to trying it, so was then sad to discover that the Red examples look quite different.

Years ago, I remember reading a suggestion that when the government needed to release information about alien life, they would start by "leaking" hints to gradually acclimatize people to the idea. I now wish I hadn't seen tha

Depending on how fast the extra IR light is pulsing, it might end up looking like your baby is sleeping through a rave - which would be entertaining enough to be passed off as a feature rather than a bug.

Is the low win rate a surprise though? As a foreign observer, the US justice system seems to largely be based on who can spend the most - so large company > government > small company > citizen is pretty much the assumed outcome. I

I hate it, in a way which feels distinct from other social media on the surface since the users are so different, but which has the same root cause: they encourage some form of bragging and immodesty as the default communication style.

Yeah, I'm not a full-time developer but even for my bits of scripting I'd be wary of another big change in Python. Personally I'd much rather see this effort go towards a new language which "feels" like Python but a

It's not a problem from Nvidia's perspective, and AWS/GCP wouldn't have a right to complain - but users might reasonably conclude that this is a problem, and likewise regulators might consider it unacceptable for Nvidia

IAM isn't easy, but I don't think there is any way to build such a powerful system without at least having the possibility for it to become ultra-complex. The challenge then becomes taming the complexity while still being "

I don't really follow what the benefit of the k/v thing is relative to just passing in a suitable string. I'd just assumed that the automation of "debug", "info" etc was what made it structured.
