You know how “cloud stuff” are remote files, right? And that files can be stored locally? Well there exists a thing called encrypted password managers that are just files (a file) that are stored locally (as in not on the cloud. The storage

Actually if the author butchers the phrase then such acknowledgements don’t matter. Actually it makes it worse… I’ve got this sword of Damocles[1] hanging over my head right now; I don’t know whether I should have turkey dinner tonight or h

Interesting! I wonder what kind of philosophy this author has and their outlook on life is. How could it be good to stare into the abyss? Won’t it drive you mad? This must be an interesting read. > I’m probably not using “stare into the

It seems like examples for these kinds of simpler grammars tend to be pretty dry. It would be fun to use more programming language-like examples. And then you might also see what difficulties you run into with them (with their limitations).

The type system isn’t impressive. You can find usages and thereby get navigation and refactoring via excellent Java-centric IDEs. But it seems like that’s it(?). On the other hand you have to constantly exercise your code because of lurking
