Does it deal with power failures, as in it remembers it's state and then properly adjusts for delayed start and stop considering the duration of power failure and adjusting process considering the cooking due to already generated heat

I would say it is not about private vs government, it is a question of legal Vs illegal. IANAL, If my recollection is correct, all speech, except those containing immediate/imminent threat/ incitement of violence is legal. That is

Mathematical notation is often too vague, informal and too dependent on context.Frankly there is too much ambiguous overloading of symbols.It seems the language has evolved to be succinct and short to write, rather than being explicit and u

Installing leiningen is not trivial on all platforms (Eg: Windows).Even on Linux distro repos may contain older versions of leiningen that subtly break things. Perhaps it would be better if leiningen is part of closure distribution rather t

Can't they figure out a way to do that in pure c++ yet? In other words why does C++ lack reflection, and only seems to have a half baked RTTI? Perhaps the QT guys and other c++ application programmers didn't lobby C++ standards co

Haven't used QT in a long time.Have they done away the with ’moc' and code generation? I found it extremely annoying that while we were using QT we weren't actually using c++, but a strange, language that looked like c++, but
