Currently, it is not (C++, mostly C style). As far as I can remember, Bill has previously said that a self-hosted version of the compiler might be a possibility, _after_ the 1.0 release and when the full spec of the language has been written.

I think they call those prisons. /s

But seriously, I don't know how much I'd trust society to care / keep funding such schools, or people working there to that with enough empathy and motivation for too long.

The sentiment that (even low-level) criminals in prison are trash, that deserves the worst instead of rehabilitation, is I feel too wide-spread for me to think it would be different.

But yeah, I might be too cynical here.

Conversely, it also ingrains the lesson that it is ok to abuse anyone weaker than you A) if you know you can get away with it (because someone stronger is not always around/aware/inclined to intervene), or B) because that is just normal / the way the world is.

No, I think it was meant literally. Like the IT Crowd skit where Jen refers to the Internet Explorer desktop shortcut as "the button for the internet".

"The author" in above comment refers to the author of the port. So, yes, thats what they meant.

Sue who? Youtube? The claimants?

A fraudulent claimant like this is often some anonymous operation that can pop up under a different name the next day. Good luck finding them (and hope they are even located in a place where suing for copyright would even make sense).

Youtube is protected by their terms and the DCMA, as far as I know.

I'm interested in the opposite direction too. If the iPad could do real phone calls and sms, I would ditch mobile phones. In the process I'd hope to reduce some screen time. I could live with Pod+Pad+Watch, but I doubt they'd ever make that happen :(

I doubt they'd just add a UUID in a file header somewhere. If they uniquely modify the actual audio samples in a way that is inaudible during casual listening, that would be much harder to "diff", I think.

Does it need to? Unfortunately, a threat of a lawsuit by a large company is weapon enough to make people buckle.

Could you elaborate on which features are premium only? Or maybe also put them in the AppStore description? I tend to be averse to even downloading apps with IAP, without knowing what they are going to be.

> How many give you a 25% discount on top of that? Nobody.

Because they are not allowed to sell the game cheaper elsewhere if they also want to sell on Steam. Their dev ToS require that.

My best guess would be: selecting with the mouse from the left until the (first two?) arabic characters, then extending the selection using the right arrow key while holding shift. Might be that the arrow key skips the cursor to the right side before extending the selection.
