The perceptive utility of software declines when it is subscription-based in current times. A one-time fee for software is reasonable to a purchaser, renting/leasing software is no longer economical for the size of most phone apps...too little for too much.

*Edit: Apparently I forgot how to spell.

I cannot see this ending up well for Netflix. It sounds like it personally offended someone's sensibility and they decided to fire the guy. I expect Netflix to lose this lawsuit, but more importantly, settle it before it ever goes anywhere.

Does this mean we might see an industry shift to RISC-V?

Regarding the turbofan and [0], above...if you're communicating to a non-engineer (me), how does the design get to the point of such complexity? I would love to learn the design story behind such an incredibly complex piece of machinery.

I am being serious, if you cannot tell.

I'm no linguist, but the question does seem unambiguous, or quite clear, to a reasonable observer. The context is "voting in a US election" AND the subject is "an illegal immigrant" WITH an assumption that the illegal immigrant has, in fact, illegally emigrated to the US.

After running that code on both a Windows SB3 and major souped up Lenovo running Ubuntu...I just feel inadequate.

I love that you include the BNF-ish grammar. Grammars are so straight-forward to read, I wish my eyes didn't glaze over during those times I've tried to sit down and create one.

Adding the snake case does move it more to the Python idioms, for sure.

That doesn't only exist in Victoria and that busy-body group isn't only about building and housing. They are active against many things. I live in California and they complain about people walking down the street, water restrictions, lifting water restrictions, cleaning your driveway with water, not being able to use water, it goes on and on.

It does touch on building, but it's mostly about, "NOT IN MY BACKYARD!"
