So how does this work? If you live in Texas then you can still be punished for getting an abortion in another state, where it's legal? What kind of Dred Scott bullshit is this?

This incident has little to do with website or web store as such, and the only reason those are impacted is because pretty much all of M&S's IT systems have been impacted. Even if someone else would be running all of that, chances

I once tried to book a flight with the same-day return; the price for the return flight was mad expensive. The same return flight was a few hundred euros cheaper if you booked the initial flight a day earlier. My theory is that most same-da

The dmd compiler not being open source until 2017[1] made it more or less a non-starter for a great many use cases. That would have been okay in the 80s, but with tons of languages to choose from since the 90s/00s, your language needs
