Anyone know what justifies this uncited claim: "best known as [...] and for her unconventional views on her profession" Everything librarian-related on that page (anti-censorship, pro-free-speech, pro-privacy) is standard libraria

The OP also is not a valid substitution for "most" (by what metric, anyway?) uses of bit packing. The network wire doesn't need a C++ ABI-compatible object, and clearly isn't portable when communicating between systems r

Time spent talking to a robot is free, people are expensive. So the company prefers 1hr with robots + 1minute with human, over 10 minutes with each. It's customer-hostile though, raising the cost of the service in a hidden way.
