That's really interesting and I like seeing what can be done in more "evolved" languages than awk. Awk has the advantage of being everywhere and not needing installation phases, but that's a price you only pay once. Your

The official challenge is in Java, but there are unofficial solutions in the "Show and tell" categories, using other languages, databases, and stuff (even a Fortran solution that takes 3 seconds without going too far in optimizati

Speaking for the fediverse only, the experience is what you make of it. Stay on the largest, averagest instance and your experience will be bland; get on an instance with people who share your values, an instance that connects with other in

There is no rsync protocol, only whatever protocol exist already. Most providers will have their version of S3, so if a provider wants to implement a strict copy of the AWS api they will be compatible. They can also provide an SFTP API and

Devil's advocate: egress prices are always extremely high, so if you use their service that doesn't transfer the cost over to you it means it has been factored in that you won't be downloading that much. Making obstacles to a

I don't think you understand how the EU legislative system works. The EU is composed of multiple bodies, one of which is unelected people, one of which is people chosen by someone who is elected (roughly) and one of which is people dir

They could absolutely do more. They could actually vet all applications and exclude knock offs. They could ask for sources of applications they distribute to see if they're legit or not. They could partner with 3rd party known reliable
