10% of GDP, IIRC, which is more than the NHS and for worse outcomes. If anything, the Irish system is more complex because of the legacy of being formerly Church-dominated and decades of half-hearted reforms. There's a reason why the I

I don't follow you. If, say, browsers used Scheme rather than JS, they wouldn't be any slower. If a CSS-equivalent used s-expressions but was otherwise CSS, that's just syntax.

I know. That was why I wrote "even though it's a good idea to do so, if only for the sake of clarity". Registration makes trademark ownership clear. It's not essential, but a really good idea.

You don't have to register trademarks, even though it's a good idea to do so, if only for the sake of clarity. Trademarks can be established through market use (common law usage), which is what Let's Encrypt's claim is b

For DKIM, rspamd/rmilter are a great alternative to OpenDKIM if you want to build the DKIM check into your regular spam checks. One minor downside of rmilter is that it will only sign the headers of mail sent by by authenticated users.

It's intended for desktop, single-user use from the command line. In such cases, you're not going to have much of an issue with write contention.

And much overlooked. It doesn't get half the love it deserves. While it could do with some work around making the sysadmin experience a bit better and have a way of aliasing short 'public' database names to the file-system le

It very much depends on the auxlang. Most of them do try to make things easy, but auxlang creators tend to be a little more linguistically naïve than other artificial language creators, so they end up using themselves as the benchmark. Espe

Addendum: in case anybody's wondering what I meant when I wrote "it'd be strange if they weren't the same", I was referring to the high probability of them being coincidentally the same or at least very similar.

There's nothing even slightly strange about it. The terms are self-recapitulating because parents mistake children's babbling for first words. If anything, it'd be strange if they weren't the same. Take a read of this:
