Completely agree with your replies here, but there are internal DSL's that stray so far away from the regular syntax/semantics that your skills in the host language don't apply when writing in the DSL. (Scala SBT I'm lo

Does this have any implications for Secure Enclave like chips?

The mentioned devices are mains powered (well perhaps not led-lighting) - I can see why legislators are not eager to just let anybody mess about with that.

AWS support is indeed pretty crappy. $500 is not a fixed price. You pay 10% for the first 10K/month, 7% of $10K-$80K and so on. The Developer plan is 3%, but is pretty worthless - it should be renamed to rookie-plan or similar - you ca

I have a hunch its the same ‘physiology’ that causes selective hearing. “Please turn off the iPad!” vs “who wants ice cream?”

No doubt that is true. I was referring to the scientists motivation to ‘engrave’ the Bible

Using the Bible could be interpreted as ‘this is one of humanitys most important works so let’s preserve that first’ Yet the majority of people on planet earth are not Christian. I’ll go with the Gutenberg homage though

Trains in Europe and probably elsewhere too, cannot compete on price as 1) fuel is taxed and they are paying emissions fees, which airlines don’t [a] 2) the operator is often obligated to run trains at times where there are very few passeng

On the similar line: Americans are often said to be unknowing since they mix up European cities / countries and can’t point them out on a map. But the reverse is totally true as well. Ask Europeans where Arkansas is (or how it is prono

Domestic or are you talking about the sixties here?
