Spot on: I came here to make this comment about ISO 8601 vs. RFC 3339 and point-out that "European format" is a generalisation, not a rule: Lithuania [1] and Sweden use the ISO 8601 for date representation, and Portugal and Spain

And how is it different from, let us say, the current's sweetheart, JSON? (The comparison is not exclusive to JSON, though.) JavsScript Object Notation makes a lot of sense to describe... The JavaScript objects. But, nowadays, I see it

I read the word “alu” in the title and thought, “is it a misspelling of ‘beer’ in Lithuanian? [1]” Well, I am not disappointed with the conclusion. :) [1]: https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/alus#Lithuanian

"Forest of the Gods" is a very good film. But there are a few Lithuanian films that are my all-time favourites (besides "Forest of the Gods"): 1. "The Ancient Woods": https://www.themoviedb.org/

I don't think there is a definitive answer for your question because computer science is a relative new area of knowledge and “fundamental books” are still being published. If I had to say one text that is the fundamental one, I woul

I am very sorry, but I cannot: I am not an expert in super-Turing P systems. (I can answer questions on MP systems, however.) On the other hand, there are two papers that can answer your questions: 1. Bio-steps beyond Turing [1], from Calud
