The solution you want is to target posix compatibility; you can choose how strict you want to be with that (ie essentially every posix compatible shell also supports the `local` keyword).

Yeah it's slightly obscure for a lot of people I think: most who do know of it seem to associate it purely with arithmetic, and rightly use `$((...))` instead.

You saying "no one needs that" doesn't mean it doesn't do more than some arbitrary url parameter or path segment. It means you're choosing not to use it.

How exactly do you specify weighted preferences for several possible types, in the url, in a way that is standardised?

by stephenr 3y ago
Why? The whole point of content negotiation is the client tells the server which type s it wants the content in, with weights to determine preference; The server then works out the best match for what's requested. Why do you need to a

Usb4 does not define "type-a" connectors, thus type-a by definition is not "concurrent" with type-c in the usb spec. It is deprecated/legacy (ie still in use but not supported by newer versions of the spec)

M2 SSDs can already saturate even a Thunderbolt port; then there's the alt-mode uses like DisplayPort, or the tunneling in usb4 that essentially gives thunderbolt3 functionality, such as running PCIe devices.
