S-expressions inherits all trouble with data types from json (dates, times, booleans, integer size, number vs numeric string). You get neat ways of nesting data, but that is not enough for a robust and mistake-resilient configuration langua

You could create tuples with `Tuple.Create("a", 1)` since at least .NET 4, if not 3. Since C# 7 you can also create tuples using just `("a", 1)`. But tuples are not KeyValuePairs. So the new "new" syntax will b

Well, the UK seems to be OK, but Norway, Belgium, the Netherlands, for example, are way below caloric self-sufficiency [0]. According to this hard-to-read map [1], Ireland, Italy, Spain and Portugal also seems to be below 1. 0: http:/

Used to use WebEx at work. I hated it. But I can't remember anything wrong with the installer/uninstaller, really. Don't know why you want to complain about that. The uninstaller has a UI that is readily understandable, and

It should be blaringly obvious to Clubhouse that they don't have the right to even store most of this data, let alone use it for anything. So even if you are at fault, I can't imagine that would help them a lot, if some data prote

A lot of the RAM usage can be explained by users expecting crisp fonts and icons on 4K screens. That's quite a lot more data than in VGA.

I've never had 'proper' RSI, but I solved all my wrist strain woes by simply placing the mouse smack bang in front of the space key, at a 270 degree angle, so moving the mouse to my left translates to the pointer moving up. I

I've had an email on a personal domain for years. But I still use my old gmail for one thing: Point of contact for the my domain registrar. Do you have any suggestions for how I can solve this?

My bluetooth headphones work well if I'm sitting still. They don't work if I'm walking. So I would say that bluetooth headphones don't work.

Really? I _know_ I read everything, both for my loan and for the purchase, when I bought my apartment. It wasn't really that much. It took a few hours. I didn't read every law that the contract referred to, but I read the contract

This mainly looks like a push to remove even more user control over tracking. The spec says that the browser can return 'random' data, but I suspect that Chrome won't let you do that, or at least not for long. Instead of the

This looks to me as a way for Google to drastically increase their reach and track even more data about their "users". They want the browser to "discover" the users interests automatically during browsing. For a page to
