I wish it was easier to convert "standard" dynamic web pages into static HTML easier. There's one or two Wordpress sites I'd really like to get rid of updating over and over again (which is still less work than actually

As you say yourself, there is no formal investigation. So there is no point to the "learning" you are suggesting. Indeed, we have had recent reforms. And if you oppose them, please do not hide it behind snide remarks. Those reform

Nice explanation! I'd also paint it that way and thought this was because bikes on advertisement materials are usually shown that way around.

Yes, "justice" is a marketing term. (That is indeed quite often the case when it is offered, as opposed to when it is seeked for.)

I think the best reference would be the actual (main) spec since the grammar spec says it is kind of a "superset" of the actual specification, i.e. not always strict enough. Identifiers are specified here: https://www.w

That's because it was written before Turkey and Greece were part of the treaty. See Note 1 in your link at the bottom, which refers to the "Protocol to the North Atlantic Treaty on the Accession of Greece and Turkey": http:&

Police does use the EU variant for the plates, though. You're right, of course they could go with FE Schrift on their old (non-reflective, non-EU) plates. That would, however, be a new combination that would match neither the new civil

I guess they still have 1 million plates in some storage facility. Nah, jokes aside: what they actually do is to not only legally, but practically issue their own plates, which would include stamping them. Also, they don't use the refl

Arguably, the FFI gives easier access to stuff (TM) than Perl would allow. C would be easier if the aim was clear and you can just write the code down (well, string handling is probably easier in Lua, and there's the memory handling wi

To make it clear: that song is not really focused on welcoming refugees (though the band playing it really supports that cause, too). That song is very specifically targeted at pointing towards the haters and criticizing their hate.

Hm, had you said 1978, I would have gotten the reference (Spoiler: TeX, though maybe not really 2-column at the time?). Did you have something specific in mind when writing 1979?

It is a nice little hacking project. However, it is not built on top of the Kernel (which would be possible using e.g. something like ljsyscall). A look over at LuaJIT and its FFI would probably also be nice in the context of this project.
