I'd go for fully static, which can be served everywhere. I think blogs should be built like this to make preservation easier. I'd love to have something that make content domain agnostic, more like git that allows cloning and dist

Yeah, I read that part too late. In that case it seems that there's indeed a lot of overhead when building many crates from a cold-start, but it pays off in wall time and can probably save resources in incremental builds.

I'm sure that Hollywood would charge me for randomly remembering scenes if they could. What makes them the ones to dictate the rule?

What's stopping me from paraphrasing movies by peppering the least significant color bits? Would that make copying them legal?

A neat use case for cloning is not truly duplicating a machine, but moving it from one machine that will go off to another one. There's caveats in the network though, as packets targeting the old address need to be re-routed until all

You assume that advertisement is the only way of discovering business, which is not true.

As a tourist though you want the least burden without getting ripped off. Just ask for my payment details and charge me whatever is fair for my trips. I don't want to become an expert on buying the optimal set of tickets from multiple

They made me spend more money, which I wouldn't mind since I don't contribute to any of the subsidies public transport may have, but you can simply charge more, or consider it an investment since tourists bring new money in daily.

Which would help tourism if tourists could buy it, but the app asked for some Id and double-checking the web asks for an European address (UK is also listed)

I think this shows how the approach LLMs take is wrong. For us it's easy because we simply sort of iterate over every function with a simple prompt of doing a translation, but are yet careful enough taking notes of whatever may be rele

The characters would likely be unique, maybe even by the spec. Even if you wanted them, we use backslashes to escape strings in most common programming languages just fine, the problem CSV is that commas aren't easy to recognize becaus

`g` still has to make `foo`, the new handle for `file` disappear. I guess the question is around. If the File library can implement `fn CloseFile(f: File) -> ()`, why can't I implement `fn g(f: File) -> ()`? At least I should be
