I have lots of links to people on wikipedia because I considered them most resilient against link rot, but it seems that I am mistaken in that regard. How long would it take for Patrick Steward to be removed from Wikipedia? I mean the actor who played Picard. Will that still be include in an encylopedia in the year 10,000?

I am a bit surpriced so many people are accepting everything to be true on face value. It is from a chapter of a book that an author hoped to make a lot of money from. How reliable is he or his sources. The MIVD is not know to share any information and leaking can land you in jail for up to 8 years.

As far as I know he is Dutch and he sounds like a native Dutch speaker. But he but also uses English with some of the people that do not speak Dutch.

FYI Nord Stream did not transport oil, but gas (not to be confused with gasoline).

I have developing software in C(++) since 1990, but I did learn some new things about the language when developing a C compiler for a live-bootstrap variant not using the GNU Mes compiler.

This fall there will be an exhibition at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam. She stayed for some time in the Netherlands, met with Dutch artists, and organized events with them.

For the C compiler that I developed to replace the GNU Mes compiler in the live-bootstrap project, I also used a Forth like language that uses two stack. One stack for parameters and return values and one for the return addresses and local variables. The Forth like language is transpiled in assembly and through some steps made into an ELF file. The targets are: x86, x86_46, and arm64. Work on supporting riscv64 has started, but is currently on hold due to other responsibilities. If there is anyone willing to complete it, I do have some small funds as a bonus.

This is not uniquely American. Here in the Netherlands we also have fixed interest rates for long periods. Usually for 20 years.

Wero is a European wide payment system. In the Netherlands it replaces iDeal, which has been the (almost) universal payment method for webshops in the Netherlands. In not all European countries such payment systems are used as widespread as in the Netherlands. Wero is actually a payment broker as it usually connects with the payment system (often a banking app) of your choice.

Strange that no one took the effort to fix yaYUL to read the YUL format, but instead of adapting the transcription of the source to match the 'quirks' of yaYUL.
