Just makes sense that they would put the "heavy hitters" on feature development, not backporting security patches.

command.com also has variables. Syntax not so great though.

Good for them. I assume this is the will of the French people and they are proud of it just like our EU friends here are quite fond of the GDPR.

Good for them if it's the Norks. Wonderful to see the underdog come out on top every now and then.

The weird casing seems to be a minimum accepted prefix for the keywords.

They seem to produce no surplus if they take UBI and just stimulate themselves in VR all day. Maybe I'm too pre-post-scarcity to understand.

Usually the desire is for some of the metadata processing to be reusable between the encrypted and non encrypted formats ("like a regular file, just this data is encrypted"). This is also why eg. Zip files are encrypted per entry, not globally.

Since the kind of data people want available may differ for each file format, here we are.

If the humans have no economic utility and just collect UBI, how long until the computer decides to simply stop them from breeding (and bleeding it dry)?

The comments and field names in the source code are all Dutch. Expected I guess given the context, just wonder if that was generated or if it was derived from the compiled code. I know Delphi has RTTI info.

Well they could output plan.md files that are architecture independent first. Then we can commit those, and only generate the final machine code on demand.

Having the debits move to the new IBAN automatically had to be mandated and built. It doesn't just happen. In markets with large incumbent banks they have no incentive whatsoever to make switching easy.

Imagine the problem that required virtualenvs (or containers). Distro packages don't work well with that. Plus the packages are already outdated most of the time. Unless by "distro package" you mean packaging an entire environment as a distro package, but you'd run into the same problems of multiple installs there.
