It's French, sponsored by the French government. They may well end up translating it to all those languages except English.

The French government for instance sponsors LaSuite ( https://lasuite.numerique.gouv.fr/ , no English language web page of course ).

But I think the hardest thing to replace is Active Directory, Outlook, all the integration with Windows, all the admins certified on Microsoft technology. It's not about the actual application "MS Office", it's about all of IT (that line was not AI).

But antimatter rights antimatter? Or do they become lefts.

Primarily because sheep owners refuse to install good fences.

But BB(10) is also just an integer. So it should be computable?

It's impressive that a Turing machine of only 10 states can run for Graham's number steps and still halt.

I'd call it absolutely mind boggling, actually.

Note that this casually solves the halting problem, usually a hint that something is wrong.

So what if we set C = BB(10)?

Also, how much fuel do you need to bring along to accelerate a human and life support system and the whole craft including fuel, for a lifetime? Is it larger than a planet?

Albert Heijn has 40% market share of Dutch supermarkets, and their distribution centers are shut down while they are working on this. Could become quite ugly quickly.

On the platform, my code is split between HTML, JS and CSS files.

I like modules. They exist in some form or another in most programming languages and they are one of the few definitively good ideas in software engineering. Give me the ability to split off parts of my work with some public API and hidden internals. Works on different levels too, like with a reusable library that consists of modules.

JS has a module story. But HTML and CSS just aren't connected to it, without using something like JSX.

That's why I end up abandoning "using the platform" every time.

I dont know any other environment except the browser where code is split into three in a similar way.

And a datacenter for Emacs.

If it didn't melt in summer, its start would have been further to the south.
