   Well, if we make it expensive enough to operate everywhere, then there will probably be one or two huge "global" sites and hundreds of small local, region-locked ones. Maybe that is the future. Cyberspace is not, eventually, indep

   So, exactly like VB? (From memory it required a msvbvm DLL).

   It's also got an integrated bracelet so harder to swap out the bracelet for a leather watch strap (if that's your thing).

   There's also the gaming time limits[1] and the proposed(?) spending limit[2]. Probably a good thing, if you ask me... [1]: https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-58384457 [2]: https://www.reuters.com/

   1) They already have that (Unionpay). 2) I don't think they are less prone to censoring things.

   I suspect buying Intel could lead to them being the Boeing to Intel's McDonnell-Douglas.

   Besides the regex literals, Ruby does have sigils of a sort (@ and $) but with different meanings. Also the quotelike operators (q, qx, qw becomes %q, %x, %w).

   Regexes in syntax / regex literals made it into JS and Ruby (at least).

    Certainly it's one basis for dispute (but only if it is trademarked): https://www.wipo.int/amc/en/domains/

    It's nice how they still respected copyright by not copying actual useful code out of the original extension.

    You don't think there's a degree of difference between (valid email_t or null) and (valid char pointer or invalid char pointer)?

    > It has to be for it to compile, right? Which means that email_t is the type which represents both valid and invalid emails. How do you know if it's valid? You remember to write a check for it. Why not just save yourself some keyst

    I think part of the reason why it's so close is also for signal integrity reasons.

    It's config not code - and a demo interface is a nice thing to have. The cross account read, however...

    Of course that depends if the optimization was compiled into the version they have. One can imagine two binaries with the optimizations just missing from the free one.

    I wouldn't read too deeply into that. I'm pretty sure cpu-z bundles a driver that is unpacked and installed at runtime (search for 'cpuz sys')

    There are cases when the entire point of automation is to remove the flexible but unreliable and sometimes untrustworthy human component.

    I guess multi-Gig base-T (802.3bz) is the future for home networks. Degrading to 5Gbps because of poor link quality is better than just falling back to 1Gbps. The latter will probably just lead to support calls and returns for home-level eq

    Not many people have fiber at home. Copper 10gig is power hungry and demands good cabling.

    Delphi's form files weren't pascal. The gui-sync was in my memory just editing the class definition when adding components / event handlers.

    Indeed in many cases now the server has more resources than the client accessing it (the "thin client + remote dev box" model)

    I'm guessing the syntax was the part the poster was complaining about when they complained about the "dev experience".

    I mean there's really not much difference between "VAR=val make x" and "make x VAR=val" now is there?

    Just saying that "free for certain purposes only with a possible lawsuit for using it in a way we don't like" isn't exclusively an Oracle invention.
